Our stay at the camping was an unforgettable experience, I feel I've come away with lifelong connections. Serioshka and her three lovely pups welcomed us into their space and made us feel right at home. The jobs are very fair and enjoyable, and gardening days with Pancho are an excellent time to learn and develop your language skills. We were shown a couple things in the art studio and Serioshka sent us a few books and videos personally picked out to inspire us and our art styles. The hardest part was leaving the dogs, I did shed a tear or two on the bus out of town!

From the moment I stepped into the camping I welcomed both by serioshka and her lovely dogs. Jose, Camilla and Renata (the dogs in questions) are treasures. Each have wonderful personalities and will demand nothing but cuddles. The workload is fair with regular jobs and added chores. The facilities are a little barebones but everything needed to exist comfortably is provided. Serioshka is a great host who will do everything she can to make you feel cared for and welcome.

I spent 2 weeks at this beautiful site and it wasn't enough time! I would recommend that anyone who goes here stays for longer so you can not only really get into the grove of your chores, but experience Tepoztlàn fully. I spent 12 days by self at the site doing chores and I felt completely safe and supported. Serioshka was very clear about my roles and responsibilities and was always available to reach if I had any questions. Pancho the gardener comes twice a week, he is extremely knowledgeable, patient and kind. He will teach you alot. The dogs are amazing, and it truly was amazing ❤️

Had a lovely peaceful month staying here. The tasks were interesting and challenging but in a good way, pushing you outside your comfort zone. You feel as though the work you're doing is genuinely improving the place for future guests and volunteers. The hardest task will be leaving the dogs! It has been a privilege living with them and they are incredibly sweet and loving. Serioshka was an incredibly nice host who makes you feel welcome and well valued. Pancho the gardener is an amazing teacher! Highly recommend!!!

Spending a month here, right on the edge of the National Park, has been an unforgettable experience. The work is engaging and challenges you in the best way, helping you grow while making a real difference for future guests and volunteers. Looking after three beautiful dogs was a joy! Serioshka is a welcoming and thoughtful host who ensures everyone feels appreciated. Pancho (the gardener) was an expert teacher, always taking the time to explain his processes with patience and care. If you're thinking about staying at the camping, don't hesitate!

Idris is a great and enthusiastic volunteer, eager to learn and a hard worker. We had very good conversations. He and ruby were very helpful and never complaint. We had good communication and i hope they come back sometime soon.
