I consider my stay at the lodge very successful. Daily contact with locals and volunteers from different countries allowed to experience cultural differences and a different perspective on many issues. The host fulfilled 100% of the amenities offered.

The lodge is an amazing place and a wonderful project. Dewint, the owner, clearly has a true passion for what he does. I've done many volunteer projects before, but this is the first time I've truly experienced what a family atmosphere feels like. The permanent team members here are also incredible—everyone is open, kind, and welcomes you with open arms. The work isn't difficult, and I'll be coming back soon—which is probably the best sign that this place is truly special. If you enjoy being close to nature and love animals, this is the perfect place for you. Thank you!! 🥰😊

El alojamiento es un paraíso tropical, un lugar para conectar con la naturaleza y la cultura local. Désde que llegué me sentí más que cómoda, incluso mi tiempo apoyando en las actividades del hotel no lo sentí como trabajo, por el contrario, mis horarios fueron flexibles y no tuve problema para adaptarlo a mis otras actividades personales. Dewint es un gran anfitrión, respetuoso y amable. Sin duda 5 estrellas más que merecidas.
