Let me start by saying that I've been volunteering for the last 10 years of my life, all over the world; farming, eco-lodges , hostels, the whole lot, and I've never given a review below 4 stars for anything. I am brand new to Word Packers so this was technically my first experience through this website, and I really DID want to give this place a higher rating, but when looking at the overall operation, I would not endorse this stay for other experienced volunteers. Very limited amenities, BAD energy, passive aggressive host, volunteers were exploited as incompetent foreigners to run errands.

It is hard for me to write this review as I know Nati is going through challenges in her personal life and it was very evident that she was taking on a lot all at once. I got to learn one day about bioconstruccion and we had some great moments all eating dinner together that I look back on very fondly. I think her stress caused her to take out some of her frustrations on the volunteers, sometimes being a bit rude and demanding, and even after I had left wrongfully accused another volunteer of stealing from her. I am grateful for the living space she provided but I wouldnt necessarilyrecommend.

I am 50 years old and I have been working in hostels for 25 years. Believe me, my experience makes me see better who is who. A piece of advice: don't keep traveling together. Sooner or later people really show who they are. And Emilio is not a good person. You will realize it soon. I hope so. Before you pay for his trip yourself.

I don't recommend this space at the moment.
I spent a week with Natalia, and I must say that right now she is not fit to receive volunteers. She is going through a difficult family situation and I think it's dangerous for volunteers to arrive. She makes strong accusations and threatens to call the police when she lost some belongings that are probably under her bed.
Fortunately Pablo was there and did the best he could in this experience.
I wish this place a lot of light and hopefully in the future Natalia recovers so that she can continue hosting volunteers

The experience was enriching, I learned about various forms of environmental care and about Bariloche. Nati is friendly and flexible with the tasks and schedules.
