I absolutely loved staying at Spicy villa. The staff is so sweet and helpful and made all of us feel at home. I lived all the tasks, helping cooking really was just like a free cooking class and we were able to really immerse ourselves in local culture. I would 100% recommend this.

My stay at Spicy Villa was truly amazing. The first 3 days were a lot of work though as we were only with 4 volunteers (7hours a day). Afterwards, with 10 volunteers, it was really chill.
We had an amazing time cooking with Tawan and drinking happy water with Hoh :))
Definitely recommend if you’re not scared of lots of work (and spiders😉). Much love to all the people at spicy villa🫶🏻

Spicy Villa is located in the most beautiful place. The dorms are pretty and you have such an amazing view.
Tawan and Thong were so nice to us and would always let us help with cooking.
However, I did find the communication with the owner a bit strange. He wasn't at the eco lodge when I was there and he would communicate with us through WhatsApp. Sometimes things weren't clear and the way this was communicated towards the staff and the volunteers felt a bit disrespectful. We, as the volunteers, could notice how that affected the staff and that made me quite uncomfortable.

As I explained to volunteers
They dont know deep story
It's about responsibility those people have to follow the rules we agree . When they out of the rules then who responded? Volunteers didn't know what wrong they did .they cooked for you doesn't mean they areakwaysgood at Thier Job and duty

My experience here was overall positive - we got to really be involved with local culture through amazing cooking classes and other activities with the staff. the staff were all so amazing, and made the time here so special! sadly, the boss didn’t always respect his staff which was upsetting to see as he could get quite rude. luckily, the issues were resolved after a couple of days. we got to do incredible activities here which were so much fun and the villa is a beautiful place to stay. there is a fair amount of work compared to most volunteering projects, but it’s okay.

I communicated with volunteers thriught what'sAp sometime when I'm not their to make sure things are ok
Daily task go well
Faire for both side
I talked to my staff when they did wrong thing and out of agreement ( it's my way and it's nothing about you ) sometime I asked volunteers 3-4 times to do something answer was nothing better or done .then they said I'm rude . My staff didn't do work as much they can do and what we agree .who lost benefit ? You and my staff ? No me and my organisation!! You didn't know story behind or what they did please dint judge
