Abraham is a great host and I'm grateful for his generosity and hospitality. the guest house has become my home in Baños for two weeks and I'm happy I got to work here. The shifts are not too demanding as they usually are in the morning / early afternoon so you have plenty of free time to explore around town and/or go to Cajamarca. It's an ideal place if you want to live close to nature away from the hustle of a city. Totally recommend!

My time at the guest house was a great experience! The tasks were generally clearly defined and a schedule with hours was assigned weekly. The jobs were basic and fun, either cooking breakfast and cleaning the kitchen, helping with gardens, making beds or cleaning the washrooms. There was flexibility in tasks and the property is super peaceful! In general Abraham is a great guy and super friendly. He welcomes you to his home like its your own. I was only there for a week but we had shared dinners, a BBQ and a hike in Cumbemayo. The other volunteers were lots of fun too! Thanks so much Abraham :)

I absolutely loved my time here! the guest house is such a wonderful place, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. The city itself is beautiful, and I had plenty of time outside of work to explore the local sights. Overall, this was a fantastic work experience very relaxed, with light tasks. Even as a beginner in Spanish, communication was easy, and everyone was very understanding. Plus, their pets were all so adorable! A big thank you to everyone, especially Doris and Abraham for all the care and kindness.

I had a fantastic experience at the guest house! There is a very tranquil and peaceful environment at the guest house; and the surrounding area has loads of nature to explore. Abraham was very accommodating and nice when we had specific requests, they always made us feel very welcome.

There is nothing not to love about the guest house. The entire experience has left me a better person. The location, the hostel itself, and the hosts, are all truly a beautiful connection between guests and volunteers. The energy is sincere and uplifting. The air is refreshing and calming, both physically and metaphorically. I love this place, and I am extremely thankful to have been able to volunteer there.
