Help in the general maintenance of the hotel/restaurant

The guest house became a home away from home for me. I met so many amazing people during this experience and had the best time with the horses. The staff is very nice and helpful (especially if you want to practice your Spanish). The work, both with the horses and the general maintenance, is very doable and you get a lot of freedom regarding your schedule. The accommodation was nice and had everything it needed. I learned so much about the Guatemalan culture and their people, which I will cherish forever. I would definitely recommend to volunteer here!

I had such an amazing time at the guest house, really felt like home away from away. The work with the horses is great and we were able to ride almost everyday. On days we didn't ride we pitched in with yard work or cleaning around the Finca. All the other volunteers were wonderful like minded travelers and we all became very close! Downtime after work or on your days off can be spent at the lagoon at the Finca, exploring the local town, or even going on an overnight trip to Flores/Tikal! Would absolutely recommend this experience and hope that I can return one day!

I had an amazing time at the guest house! I loved working with the horses and being surrounded by nature. We were given a lot of freedom with the horses, so I would recommend applying only if you have experience with horseback riding. I made wonderful friendships and would love to come back someday!

I had a really great time at the finca! The other volunteers and the people that work there are all really nice and fun to work with. Working with the horses was amazing, it never felt like work because it was so much fun to do. The work hours are good and on our free days we could plan fun trips to Flores and Tikal. It's a really beautiful and fun place and i definitely recommend volunteering here!

The guest house is an experience to remember for the rest of your life. Everything is just wonderful from the amazing views of the beautiful land to the magnificent culture that surrounds the area within. It's a very welcoming experience to be a volunteer at the Finca, they truly treat you like family even if you don't speak any Spanish 😂. The general maintenance work was hard to get around in the first days which is expected so you can figure out where everything is that you need to get the job done. You can learn a lot from the experiences here and i highly recommend it.

Volunteering at the guest house was truly life-changing for me. It was my first volunteer experience and I could not wish for better! I met lots of beautiful people, I've learn deeply about Guatemalan culture.. I'll miss so much that place! I truly recommend to volunteer once here, you won't regret it :)

It's a very relaxing volunteering experience, there's not that many working hours, you only work when they need you to. You have full access to the restaurant kitchen and there's always a lot a fresh things to eat! We really enjoyed working with Jorge and the horses! However, it's not really supervized and we had a bad experience with some of the volunteers who establish their « own rules » wanted to take control of the group, which we didn't enjoy that much. The volunteers corner was also very dirty, we literaly had to shower in vomit… Overall a good experience but a lack of structure :)

My time at the finca was unprecedented, it is the dream come true for every horse lover as you get to work with horses every! They are always a lot of volunteers and i found incredible friends for life:) Sth that did bother me is that you are expected to wash the dishes in the kitchen quite often (which does not count as working hours), on top of the already really demanding work with the wild horses:/ Be aware of the fact that you need a lot of experience in working with horses/ riding horses and an adequate level of Spanish

We absolutely enjoyed our stay in the guest house! Working with the horses was so amazing even though we did not have much experience with horses. Sometimes it was challenging because a few of the horses are more or less wild, but with the support of our fellow volunteers we learned really much! would really recommend.
