My host was super kind, and everyone made me feel right at home. It was easy, welcoming, and just felt good to be there. I really hope I get to come back someday.

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!! 🥰😊

I grew up as a man during this experience. There was the oppurtunity to feel what appeals to me and I could then be initiative towards it (etc. some task). I got a cleaning/maintenance/painting -project to take care of. The environment is really calming and offers time to self-examination. If you're not too inventive it could get a bit boring at times. You should also keep in mind that the place is not too close to other nearby places for visiting without a car or moto. It might get lonely if there is not other volunteeres around. I was well treated and got help to take care of my things.

Estar como voluntaria en el alojamiento, fue una experiencia muy enriquecedora, el estar en contacto con la naturaleza y convivir con los animales me hizo muy feliz, al igual que el convivir con locales y otros voluntarios. Así mismo el host es bastante atento y amable, siempre con una sonrisa dispuesto a dar lo mejor de sí y solucionar cualquier inconveniente que se presente. Definitivamente recomiendo venir al alojamiento y disfrutar de todo lo que ofrece. Eternamente agradecida por todo y con todos.
