I enjoyed my time at the camping. I felt welcomed by Alexi and his family, and there were a lot of other volunteers who I got to meet as well, all from different countries! The working hours were as agreed upon, and I learned a lot from working in the receptionist position. The location of the camping, while a bit out of the way, is near the ocean and the island is beautiful. The tents we lived in are in need of repair, they were ripped and we had a problem with rats while I was there. Lunch was table scraps from customers, which I didn't expect. However, overall it was a positive experience.

Hi Caitlyn, it was such a pleasure to have you stay with us, and we really appreciate your contribution and feedback to our team! Regarding the tents, we repair them every season for all our volunteers, and generally hope that everyone will look after them throughout to avoid damage, however this sometimes doesn't happen. We appreciate you mentioning this as we are always trying to do better, a learn how best to look after our volunteers, and will do our best to give more attention to these issues next season. This leads on to the issue of the rat, which i know Maddy killed and caught! We have learnt by having such a large volume of volunteers this year, that we need to make sure that there is a more collective responsibility to keep areas clean, and not so inviting for things like rats, as you are not protected by 4 walls. We hope that us as hosts and our volunteers will do a better job at maintaining the communal aeras to avoid something like this happening again. Regarding the food, I would like to make clear that the majority of food offered for lunch was not table scraps, but cheese, meats and salads. Often we would also provide un used pre prepared breakfast platters left over from breakfast. Any other food that was left out on the table for you guys to eat was left there by other volunteers working in the kitchen and not by us. We feel we did our best to accommodated any volunteer that had any issues, dis like to certain food or dietary requirement. Thankyou for your honest feedback, and sending out well wishes to you.

I enjoyed this work experience so much, Alexi and his family are bloody legends and were so welcoming. They had extremely reasonable expectations with the tasks that we were given around the campsite, and were extremely helpful when I had any questions or was unsure about what I should do. The food that Louisa and Maddie cooked for us was always amazing too which is lovely bonus :D Thankyou for having me guys!

The work after the season is physical but a lot of fun and most days the 4.5 hours flew. We were given a lot of freedom and I never felt bad asking for help if something went wrong. Lunch was delicious every day and while the area is very quite in the off season we usually found something to do in the afternoon or evening. On days off we had the chance to go on day trips with the other volunteers which were a lot of fun. I loved spending time with the family listening to some mad stories and sharing laughs. Anyone with a sense of humour will love it here! Thank you to Maddie and her family!

Absolutely stupendous time. Great location and great hosts. I heard a number of great stories from Alexi and George and had the privilege to meet some of the local characters. The work is very liberating, you are given a job with the trust that you'll get it done without anyone looking over your shoulder. Once the work is over you have the freedom to do whatever you want in the local area. I loved to run around the abandoned buildings and bunkers in the area. Kind and Interesting people in a beautiful beach and mountain side area. You can't go wrong.

I had a great time on the camping property! I got a very warm welcome by Alexi and his family and felt like a part of the group from day one. The life together was very relaxed and casual, I could decide by myself how much I want to be part of social gatherings without feeling pressure to participate in everything. Work was very hands-on and sometimes a little improvised, working hours were respected. Breakfast and lunch was provided, always freshly cooked and very delicious. The island itself is very quiet in off-season, great for a relaxed time. Thank you for the very nice experience!

I had a wonderful time at the camping! Maddie and Alexi were great hosts and lovely people. They regularly checked in with me about how my experience was going and genuinely cared about the wellbeing and experiences of all of the volunteers. Work hours were reasonable and the work itself was enjoyable. I worked the breakfast shift which was a really nice way to start the day and also gain customer service experience. I met lots of wonderful people and saw some amazing sunsets and night skies that will stay with me for a long time. I recommend this Worldpackers experience!

This was my first volunteer experience and I am more than grateful for it. My 5 week stay went by way too fast. This is truly the best place on earth. Everyone makes you feel like you're part of the family. The work is easy and fair! The food is amazing. They always have time for you if you have something to talk about and they are trying their best to find a good solution for everything! Words cannot describe this place! I will definitely be back next season! Thank you for everything <3

My experience was so incredible that I decided to stay longer than we planned. The environment is very friendly and welcoming. Also, we have the opportunity to meet many volunteers from different countries. In addition, the work is fine, and the agreements are respected. After working, you can enjoy the pool with a nice view of the mountains or walk for 15 min and enjoy the beach. Also, there are bikes available. So you can explore the region cycling. We have three delicious meals a day. And we sleep in tents (individual or not). No doubt I would strongly recommend this place!

I absolutely loved my time at the camping! There are loads of volunteers who are all great fun and the team is so welcoming and understanding. I was lucky to be able to work extra shifts in my first week meaning that I could choose whether to be paid extra hours, or to take extra days off; I took the days off and had the best time exploring the island. You get 3 meals a day, you can have as much or as little as you want which is great! I would 100% recommend this to anyone and everyone, the site is right by the beach and there is a bus into the city regularly, so you're never bored:)
