I had an absolutely wonderful time here 🥰 From the very first moment, I felt at home it truly felt like being part of a family. The atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and full of positive energy. I was able to improve my Spanish, had an amazing roommate, and got along so well with everyone.😇 The food was always delicious, and I felt supported and helped whenever I needed it. It's the perfect place to slow down, relax, and enjoy the beauty around you. The dogs are so sweet, respectful, and protective they bring so much joy! 🐾 I also got to do the Acatenango tour an unforgettable experience 🌋

Aminata brought such an incredible vibe! ✨ Super flexible, positive, and full of great energy. She created amazing content, wasn’t afraid to ask questions, and always gave her best. An inspiring and genuinely kind person who definitely left a mark here — we’re so grateful for her time with us! 🌍💫

I had an amazing time staying with Jonathan and Samara. Day-to-day life was super chill and peaceful, with a good mix of admin tasks and helping out on the website. It never felt rushed or stressful. Every day after lunch, I had the whole afternoon to explore Antigua, which has plenty of cool cafes, bars and street eats. The home-cooked meals were amazing, definitely a highlight of my time there. After the first few days, I felt right at home. There are separate sleeping areas for volunteers and hostel guests, and I got to practise my Spanish. I would recommend this experience to everyone!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience pet sitting for Jonathan! From start to finish, everything went smoothly, and I truly felt at home. The pets were all so lovely and well-behaved, and I quickly bonded with them. I loved that jonathan trusted me with his pets and gave me a lot of independence while still providing guidance when needed. The whole experience gave me the perfect balance of responsibility and relaxation. I highly recommend this opportunity to anyone who loves animals and is looking for a rewarding Worldpackers experience.

I LOVED it... I felt so welcomed and at home, I didn't want to leave! Jonathan and everyone who works there are amazing, and we had loads of fun. I helped him with the design of his website which is what he needed at the time and it was loads of fun to do and also take pictures up the volcano for the website. Amazing experience, I can't recommend it enough!
