We stayed at the hotel for two months and had a really good experience. From the beginning, Andri and Anda welcomed us warmly. About the work, we're first in charge of the kitchen, then the camping area and finally housekeeping at the hotel. From day one, we're willing to help with anything needed, after a previous conversation that any extra hours or additional help would be compensated. This support was very good for us. The best part of the experience was getting to know amazing volunteers. It was the people who made this place even more special than the beach and the location.

Unfortunately, the experience was not positive. The hosts never communicated their working hours or days off. Meals were not guaranteed, and the accommodation, a shared camper, was located in a fenced field with no keys, limiting freedom. The bathroom was outside and dirty, and chickens roamed freely in the field. The hosts were kind but disorganized, and the work was not what we expected. Qeparo is a nice but isolated place, with limited transportation. We do not recommend this experience.

Beautiful location and beach, and the group of volunteers was great. Hosts are nice people but staff organization is really poor. We had a private room in a cointainer, but bathroom water smelled terrible. We agreed to help in the kitchen, but were asked to be chefs for staff and guests, with too much responsibility. Also helped with cleaning and maintenance of the beach. No full days off and several things from the profile weren't respected. We left after 2 weeks because we didn't feel comfortable. We suggest future volunteers to ask detailed questions about everything before confirming.

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed it here with everyone. As per your points:you never complained to us about the bad smell of the water.We only learned about it later. In the kitchen,you had shared tasks and were clearly aware beforehands.We are forever grateful to you! But,some lack of team spirit was felt in you,especially as gossip initiatiors within the group,affecting the overall vibe. We would love to have solved this together instead. Wishing you all the best!

El grupo de voluntarios fue muy lindo!Lo han hecho mucho más ameno. Pero tuve experiencias que no coinciden con lo acordado. Mi primera semana dormí en el piso por no tener cama, el agua de la ducha estaba en mal estado y lo sabían, no hubo traslado inicial ni final, las tareas desorganizadas, no hubo días libres, en mi caso he recibido respuestas agresivas del anfitrión sobre obedecer. Y se ha hablado antes de ir y luego personalmente. Reconozco que recibí atención dos días que he estado con fiebre, y que la comida siempre se cumplió. Espero que pueda modificarse para próximos voluntarios!

Florence, lamento tu reseña tan desagradable y poco receptiva. Debo decir que la semana pasada decidí dormir sola en el suelo porque nos ofrecieron otra opción muy cerca de donde dormirían los voluntarios, con camas y todo, pero decidí quedarme con ellos y dormir en el suelo una semana hasta que se fueran los demás. Y en cuanto a la agresividad del dueño, no es cierto, pero generabas una energía negativa y te veíamos con cara triste todo el tiempo, y quizás sea normal que no te guste la gente co
