Well, first of all, I'm 18 and this was my first ever travel. I was scared, however Silvia was very kind and explained everything even before I arrived. On videochat I already knew that I was in safe hands. Work was fun and interactive, however a bit challenging at times but definitely helped me be a better version of myself. Silvia offered loads of activities, and I never felt bored at all. She helped me in anyway she could and was always there if I needed her. I definitely recommend this place to others!!

Volunteering at the host was my first Worldpackers experience, and it couldn't have been better. Thanks to Silvia's kindness, I joined this lovely space and learned so much — not just about running a the host, but about working with heart. Silvia is a wise, grounded, and generous host. I also shared great moments with my fellow volunteers: Gianni, Tom, and Gaby — each unique and wonderful. I met locals, pilgrims, and new friends. This experience opened my eyes and heart. I'm truly grateful and hope to return someday.

It was my first volunteer experience and I loved it! I was expecting what it was, a super calm place where you can meet so many pelegrins on the Camino di Santiago. I came to Spain to learn Spanish and thanks to Silvia and another Columbian volunteer I have the opportunity to practice a lot, there was also an Irish guy as Volunteer so good also to improve in English. If you are looking for a chill place with lovaleble people, it's perfect. Sourrounded by nature and not far from a bus station, for sure not the best if you are looking for big parties but 2 weeks I would recommend it to everyone.

This was my first volunteering experience, and I was really lucky to land in this place. Silvia is an amazing woman. She is really comprehensive and always there for you. The work is not complicated at all, just do some coffees and sandwiches. You work from 7to 12, meet a lot of pilgrims who all have amazing stories to share, and in the afternoon you have all the free time needed. If you are find of nature and spending time by yourself this place is definitely for you. The accommodation is on the first floor of the host. I would recommend it 100% :)

First of all this was my first volunteer trip and I could not of asked for a better place. The host is easy to talk to and get along with. The tasks where not difficult as the host made it as easy as possible for us, it's a very good place to meet new people as there are many people passing by doing the Camino

It was a perfect first experience! Sylvia is incredibly nice and understanding and she does a lot for the volunteers. I came at the end of the pilgrim season so the host itself was very quiet and a little boring, but this was communicated to me beforehand! I enjoyed the calmness of the nature, though not having any supermarkets nearby can be annoying. Nevertheless I didn't come short of anything and will look back at my stay very happily.

I really enjoyed to stay there. I could meet many pilgrims!! It was very amazing opportunity ❤️ My tasks were almost in the cafe for pilgrims. So I waked up 6am and doing cafe. It's not bartender so it's more barista and cafe work!! And also sometimes I spent time for deep cleaning another house. I also enjoyed to spend time with another volunteers it was great time. Silvia doesn't cook too much so I'm not sure about real local Spanish food but another volunteer and I cooked also so we could enjoy many kind of food. One day I would like to walk Camino de Santiago!! Thank you so much!!

From the first moment I felt a lack of communication with the host, she told me that I was going to be alone and when I arrived I found 4 unexpected volunteers. In general, the volunteer hours were not respected and there were tasks that had nothing to do with the host, such as cleaning his car or another house she has. There was no volunteer-host relationship and the host was entirely held by the volunteers, which made an enriching experience feel like a stressful burden of responsibility. The washing machine didn't work. Overall an unfortunate experience for everyone.

The host is very nice, the Camino de Santiago beautiful and the pilgrims the best, but there must be significant improvements by the host to make this a pleasant experience. Starting with being more present. There is a lack of organisation and clarity in the tasks. The number of hours should be respected, as well as the time off and what is offered in the advertisement. The work is not as described in the search for volunteers, and the host has asked to do other tasks when he feels like it, some of them personal. A volunteer is not an employee and this should be a collaborative exchange.

Mi experiencia en el anfitrión fue enriquecedora. La amabilidad y calidez de la anfitriona desde tu llegada hasta tu partida, horarios de trabajo adecuados y flexibles, disponibilidad para poder cocinar tus comidas, cercanía con el autobús para recorrer otros pueblos o ciudades, y sin lugar a dudas, la oportunidad de hablar con personas durante el día y aprender de los peregrinos algo nuevo a diario. Eso si, importante tener en cuenta la época del año en que vienes al lugar, pues el flujo de visitantes no es recurrente todo el tiempo y de ello dependerán tus tareas. Gracias por todo Silvia
