My experience at the guest house's is amazing. The place is located in the middle of the Valley right next to a wonderful river . Is the perfect place to relax, hike, unplug and focus on yourself whilst meeting people from all over the place, connect and colaborate . The food is amazing , options for vegans and we all are good cooks. You decide what this place means to you, I know what it means to me and I love it. 10/10

My experience at the guest house was incredible. The hostel/B&B is located right in front of a river and it's surrounded by lush, green mountains. It's so sweet. The work was consistent and seemed pretty standard (cleaning, cooking/helping with dinner, general maintenance.) What made the experience exceptional for me was the opportunity to learn new things. Jimena and the other staff were very open to sharing what they knew with me and they were patient in teaching me new things. That made the already great experience that much better. Thanks Jimena, Marga, Rosario, Maria, and Daniel!

The guest house is perfect if you're looking for a really nice place out of crowded cities. The nature around is beautiful, between the amazingly green mountains, the river, the waterfalls and even more, you won't be disappointed. The staff is really friendly (even if your Spanish is not that good), everybody is really helpful and ready to teach you whatever you want to know about their knowledge, you can feel like home in no-time. There is no stress in the working part neither, as long as you're being part of the daily tasks and make the place looking even more amazing !

The guest house is everything you'd dream of when you think of Pinterest, reclaimed wood, a light and breezy atmosphere, an environment filled with love, and being immersed in nature. Using my eye for photography while learning to master WIX online pages allowed me to practice what I love while testing it to grow in an encouraging and welcoming environment. Jimena, Chavo, Maria, the two cats, and Oso the fluffy puppy welcomed me right in and immediately, I felt at home.
