We had a good time in SanCris and enjoyed most of the volunteering. The work was as agreed and we were able to work independently and take responsabilities early on! It was before the high season an we were getting the hostel ready. Due to this, 3 of the 4 owners were there and some new workers (not Volunteers) were learning their job. It was chaotic. The owners had a lot of differences which lead to disrespectful arguments between them and with theri workers (not with us). The comminication with each other was disrespectful and there was a lot of talk behind the back of the others.

I think this host was really flexible which was a good and a bad thing in both ways. I was able to spontaneously start earlier than planned which was awesome to me but I couldn't work at the bar. My job description was all about doing bartending but since the bar is not done yet, I ended helping at the reception. (This was due to me coming in earlier as the bar also hasn't been finished at my normal starting date) At first this was okay for me as the place is really cozy. Unfortunately, I worked there at a time the managers weren't there so organization was lacked.

Gran experiencia! El hostal tiene un ambiente de cooperación y comunidad. Conocí y conecté con personas increíbles. Disfruté mucho hacer mis actividades de carpintería y ayudar en la remodelación del lugar. Definitivamente volvería.
