Oiii! I stayed three weeks at Jackie's house. Tasks included organizing the storage, gardening, watering plants, cleaning the inside house and daily cleaning the home chicken house. Jackie is very respectful with schedules: we always had breaks and never worked more than agreed. Starting times could vary when there were guests in the house, but she always confirmed the schedule the night before. Meals were always a special moment: shared, full of cultural exchange, conversations, and even games. I hope to see them again someday—sending hugs to Salma, Jackie, and our little monkey, Chanel! ❤️

I enjoyed my stay with Jackie. She is a really nice person and was always trying to make sure that everything is ok. I was the only vegetarian while I was there and she really put in effort to make nice vegetarian meals for me. She always made sure that working hours were respected. You can always find some faults and problems if you are looking for them or if you like things in one certain way, however, if you are flexible and open minded like I tried to be, you will definitely enjoy your stay there. I always felt welcomed and liked the conversations with Jackie and with the other volunteers.

Jackie is an amazing person with a wonderful heart. She always cared about our well-being and interaction, making us practice English, drinking water and taking breaks from work to rest. She showed interest in us getting to know the neighboring villages. She is fun and a great mother to the volunteers.

Jackie is a wonderful and incredible person. Always very friendly and willing to help you with everything, she was without a doubt one the home best hosts I have ever met. I hope I have helped even in a short period. Regarding the working hours, she is always respected and the work is calm. Thank you for everything Jackie 😉☺️

The experience, accommodation and treatment was not as advertised. I felt disrespected by the host on a daily basis. The tasks were manageable, but we do not share the same standards of hygiene/cleaning, so the place was never proper. Other volunteers shared the same feeling. I'm always open to talk/estoy abierta a hablar sobre la experiencia.
