The Experience

We need some help in our Guesthouse, maintenance of the garden and pool, assistance with changeover cleaning, as well as laundry and ironing are part of the responsibilities. Our location is on the outskirts of the historic Pueblo Blanco of Arcos de la Frontera, yet only a 5-minute walk from bars, restaurants, and shops. :)

Katie was very welcoming and flexible. She gave us days off when we wanted to travel. We had the opportunity to see many other cities in southern Spain during our stay. The work was exactly what was agreed upon and the room we stayed in was very tidy. Katie also cooked us AMAZING meals and always made sure we were well fed. She also provided us with bikes to allow us to explore Arcos during our time off, I would recommend Katie as a host to anybody.

Katie was a great host. She had many great stories to tell about her experiences living in different countries and all the meals she made were amazing! The work she had us do was fair and enjoyable, we also had plenty of time to ourselves and to explore the village.

We had a great time at the guest house! Katie was welcoming and made us feel right at home. Katie makes delicious food and is fun to chat with and hear about her life and recommendations for travelling. All the work was reasonable and we had lots of free time to either enjoy the lovely backyard or explore Arcos! We highly recommend!

Our first Worldpackers experience at the guest house was amazing! Katie, our host, was flexible, caring, and inspired me to take up new hobbies. We helped with tasks like painting and yard work, and she enriched our stay with local tips and incredible cooking. When my boyfriend had a minor incident, she quickly provided care and took him to the hospital. We'll miss the views, the delicious meals, and her cats, Snoopie and Bandit. Thank you, Katie, for an unforgettable experience—we hope to see you again!
