Volunteering at the host was an amazing experience. I stayed for three weeks and time flew by. Sam, Mark and Jim are very kind and welcoming and care deeply about the project. The work is interesting and I learned a lot. Being with the other volunteers was also so much fun, I already miss everyone! Some of the highlights are the friendly atmosphere and delicious food. I hope I can return someday.

My experience in the host was unforgettable! Sam, Mark and Jim were very attentive to all volunteers, we had a nice simple accommodation, kitchen with all necessary food, they took us for a small trip to the town nearby on the weekend. Lunches that Mark cooked were incredible! I learned a lot about the project, it's actually very impressive, I'm happy to be a part of it. The work was hard sometimes, but most of the time we had a lot of fun doing the masonry - it's a great team work. I'm happy I chose this place to volunteer, I met a lot of incredible people there! Thank you a lot.

My stay was absolutely great, so much so that I am actually still here while writing this review, I decided rather quickly after arriving to extend my stay for an additional 2 weeks. Sam and the rest of the permanent staff is very friendly and welcoming. Great lunch almost every day made ready, and a lot of options to make yourself breakfast and dinner. I'm the weekends I was pleased to find that Sam tries to arrange trips and stuff for the volunteers to experience, so that you also see the area and the local culture. The nature surrounding is very beautiful and ideal for some nice hikes

One of the best experiences of my life. I learned so much from Sam and Jim, and you can tell they care deeply about their volunteers and are willing to do anything to make them feel comfortable and safe. The work isn't too hard and theres always good food afterwards. Mark's cooking is phenomenal! They do many activities with their volunteers and I never felt bored. The surrounding nature is beautiful and theres plenty of time for yourself to do whatever. the host will always have a special place in my heart. I will definitely return someday!

Sam, Jim, and Mark were extremely welcoming, patient, and supportive with all the volunteers. They give you leverage to decide on what part of the job feels most comfortable to you and where you could provide most help. The accommodation is not a 5 star hotel, but you have everything you need: cantina with food supplies and internet, comfortable shared dorm with bathroom, and closed shower just outside the cantina. Plus Mark's cooking really is quite good. I felt super at home here at the host and am very grateful to have had such a wonderful first volunteer opportunity.

My time at the host has allowed me to get back to the basics with nature, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Everyone here is very welcoming, and I felt very included from the start. This place is excellent for learning new skills and meeting new friends, an experience I would recommend and will never forget. Thank you to all at the host Team.

Todo fue increible, Sam, Jim y Mark son excelentes anfitriones, pudimos pasear los fines de semana y la comida era buena y abundante, yo la pase muy bien, aunque no es muy recomendable para personas con alergias, pues el ambiente y algunos materiales de construcción pueden activarlas

Volunteering with the host was an incredible experience. The work is very physical, which can be tiring at times, but it is also very doable. This opportunity is great for learning languages, as there's a chance that another volunteer is a speaker or learner of your target language/s as well. There's ample free time that I used to explore the surrounding wilderness and build deep connections with the other volunteers, and the organizers planned fun outings for the weekends. The dorm situation is comfortable, and Mark cooks delicious food for lunch. I truly loved my time there.

From the moment we first arrived at the host, we felt very welcomed. Everyone is very friendly and accommodating. The work is psychical, as mentioned on their FAQ page, although it is rewarding and interesting to acquire new skills and learn about the project itself. The connection with the group of volunteers and hosts is brilliant; we enjoyed socialising with everyone at the weekends and getting to know people from all over the world. We would highly recommend this as a unique experience.

The host is one the most ambitious art projects I have seen in my life and I felt fortunate to contribute a little bit. The task at hand is massive but satisfying at the same time, so come work and learn new skills, you won't regret it! The team is amazing and will welcome you with open arms and delicious food, making you feel at home right away. It was wonderful to meet volunteers from all over the world and share stories. Be warned that the place is remote, so the weekend break is more likely to be a relaxing afternoon by the lake than clubbing all night... Thanks and see you next year!
