Realmente no lo recomiendo para todas las personas, no me quejaré del lugar es realmente precioso y la naturaleza es muy pura. Sin embargo éramos 4 voluntarios, donde con mis 2 amigos tuvimos que dormir en 1 cama que armamos con 2 colchones y dormir los 3 juntos, estuvimos sin agua caliente para bañarnos por 8 días, no tuvimos energía eléctrica por 7 días y todo empeoró cuando Thomas comenzó a no dejarnos cocinar con los 2 fogones para poder ahorrar. La casa estaba muy sucia, llena de arañas y telas de araña, demasiado polvo y sacamos mucha basura limpiando. No recomiendo la experiencia.

Overall It was a beautiful experience and I'll always cherish the time I spent on Thoma's property. Thomas is a kind host with many fun stories and he does his best to make volunteers feel comfortable. Though I do think he can be quite biased and I wish he'd give more grace and make known his criticism in a more constructive and less berating way.

It feels strange writing a review about Thomas as he has sort of become a friend. I am grateful for my time with him. There are many blessings. Some things can be a bit of a culture shock for lack of better words but if you are adaptable then you'll be fine! It's a long hike to the house from the nearest towns so be aware of that. I hope to visit Thomas again one day!

Unfortunately this was not a good experience. The cleanliness was low and there was no refrigerator for the food. I think I had food poisoning from eating it. The tasks were very hard manual labor. The host is very knowledgeable and kind, however it seems he has a short fuse and is not very understanding and likes things done in a specific way. His friend Inga was also very rude and controlling, treating us , and sometimes the host , like children. Maybe it was a culture clash, but personally I don't recommend it. Feel free to message me if you have any more questions.

My experience with Thomas was not good. Though a good person, he's unprepared for volunteers. The house was dirty, with days-old food and no refrigerator—food was stored improperly in the heat. Meals were basic (beans, pasta, rice), and when we asked for vegetables, he brought ones with mold and felt offended when we didn't eat all of them. Tasks were exhausting in the heat, with no clear list, making it hard to be proactive. His German friend, Inga, treated us poorly, impacting everyone's mood. Despite his flexibility with schedules, these issues made the experience negative.
