Our experience in "la Guarida del Sultan" was great! We started in the new location of the Restaurant which is smaller but quite cozy and in the center of San Cris! The staff and the owner are super friendly and flexible. The food they serve for the staff is delicious. The work was mostly kitchen but also some work in the garden and maintainance/cleaning. We learned a lot about cooking turkish dishes :) There is also an adorable dog named Pascha... We liked it so much that we decided to stay longer!

Hello volunteers, I really enjoy my time there. Sultan is a wonderful place, surrounded by nature, animals, and a relax vibe that makes you enjoy more. Sometimes gets busy but the work is fair and flexible. I learned how to make some Turkish meals and the coffee as well 😉 the kitchen team really care about their work, so, is inspiring how they cook and how they teach to prepared food. The place is different, a mix of cultures and Semih is an incredibly and interesting person I am so happy to meet and collaborate with. If you want to enjoy a different experience try this one 🥳

The hostel, Casa Jasmine, is nice, reasonably clean, depending on who shares the kitchen. 2BA. Mostly, I had a room to myself. Loved working in the kitchen @ the Turkish restaurant, a 15min walk away. Mostly, I washed dishes, but was taught to make sauces/bread, Turkish coffee/tea, hummus/tahini/yogurt. The cooks--Tomas, Lam & Marti--are wonderful! I'd love to work with them again. Semih lives at the hostel, laid back, busy. I seldom saw him. Not the best communicator. My shift changed a lot the 1st 2wks, last minute. There were little things that were frustrating because of lack information.

The host is a beautiful Turkish restaurant in the city if San Cristobal, Chiapas. The space is gorgeous, the food is delicious and the people are very kind and welcoming. You will quickly find yourself wanting to stay longer and longer. Semih is a great host, very friendly and flexible, and I genuinely enjoyed my experience here. It's not a goodbye just a see you later! Thank you so much for everything!

I really enjoyed my time at Sultan. By the end of the month, it felt like we had all become a little family. I did end up feeling burnt out during this experience, but not because of the work, but because of the weather. I would recommend this experience in a warmer season because the work was really fun and the people were great as well but the cold weather made it so i didn't go outside much other than to get to work. overall, San Cristobal was exactly what I needed and I would definitely recommend Sultan!

This has been by far my best volunteering experience. From the place to the team to the task to the town, everything was amazing and so much fun. I learnd a lot about turkish and mexican food (the wonderful chef is mexican and very talented) Semih is so much fun to hang out with and everybody made me feel like home. San Cris is such a foodie hotspot, has a lot to offer and beautiful nature around! Can only recommend! Thanks so mucg for this experience🫶🏽

Sultán-í el anfitrión es un espacio que te transporta a otra cultura, el equipo hace que las tareas y el tiempo sea muy ameno, las tareas son con relación al espacio y muy llevaderas. Lo recomiendo ya que te deja buen tiempo para recorrer san cris y lugares cercanos.

Mi voluntariado en el anfitrión 10/10. Las tareas son simples, el equipo de trabajo es super lindo. Los chicos en la cocina hacen lo mejor para que te lleves una linda experiencia, aprendes a preparar y servir platos tipicos de la cocina Turca, mientras disfrutas de las actividades y música que el restaurante propone al publico. Casa Jazmin es preciosa, todo lo necesario para tener una estadía cómoda y ubicada en el centro de SanCris, conviviendo con personas super lindas y respetuosas. Semih es un increíble host, siempre atento a las necesidades de los voluntarios. Super recomiendo ✨
