This was a wonderful experience! Tina and her family were very welcoming and friendly. I felt like I became a part of their family. There is a lot of work to do but they explain everything and are very good about making sure you take a break. They provide groceries and make an amazing lunch everyday. The beach is only a few minutes walk away and the water is so refreshing after a long day's work. This was a beautiful and living experience. If you want a home away from home, this is it.

This has been my favourite volunteering experience this year! the host was the best person you'll ever meet and her family is beautiful, you'll feel so welcome! the work is usually from 9-3, cleaning rooms, and after work you get to eat the best lunches you'll ever have 😋 i extended my stay by a week because i loved it so much here. the location is amazing - only 5 minutes from the beach, the other volunteers were so much fun, and the host family made me feel so at home i didn't want to leave! would recommend to anyone, thank you guys for having me 🩷

Worst experience. At the beginning they seem rly nice and welcoming, until they unexpectedly kick you out in the middle of the night. I was accused of violating their house rules when in fact none of them were disclosed to me before. They put absolutely zero effort in communication, acting like everything is fine, until I got a message from them in the middle of the night telling me to leave the next morning. I made sure they knew I also work online so I cannot offer more than 5hrs a day, which was agreed on, until it suddenly was a problem. I do NOT recommend this place to anyone.

If had you made it clear from the start, as you now claim, that you were working remotely, this would not have become an issue after the fact.The fact bringing a partner at night in the room without informing me is a violation of the basic house rules.A previous conversation had already made it clear that there had been some missteps, but your decision to go to the beach the same day you claimed to be unwell and working remotly completely undermined my trust.Further discussion had no meaning.
