Jorge and Luisa were lovely hosts, and had good clear communication in both Spanish and English. They were very accomodating and were to the point whilst also being flexible.

I highly recommend this volunteer experience! Rosa and Jorge were extremely welcoming and set clear expectations for tasks. As we were there in the low season, our work was quite light (often 2-3 hours a day) and involved daily maintenance tasks like sweeping, cleaning the pool and doing housekeeping in guest rooms. We also got to help out with feeding local stray cats, which they do do daily and counted towards our working hours (though this is definitely optional, if you like cats!). Rosa also helped my practice my limited Spanish. A great volunteer experience!

Jorge and Rosa treat every single person that comes through the gates of their hostel with the exact same amount of kindness, helpfulness and respect. It was extremely heart-opening to experience this every day. As far as the work, it was the slow season so I did not clean rooms as I had expected but I did get experience in a variety of maintenance and upkeep tasks. Keep in mind that you will be working in the heat even in the morning, if you are not used to this it could be a lot. I was able to improve my Spanish and develop my work ethic. I always felt appreciated and useful. Recommend!

I liked my 2 weeks of the volunteering here. The tasks were simple and well explained and there was plenty of free time for me to explore Máncora. Thank you Rosa and Jorge!

This was a wonderful exchange. jorge and rosa are amazing, kind hosts. the work was fair, the living space was comfortable, and they spoke with me slowly and simply so i could practice my spanish. it's a calm guest house so if you're tired from traveling it's a great place to rest and reset away from other backpackers. i highly recommend! gracias por todo Jorge and Rosa ❤️

Amazing weeks in Máncora! Jorge and Rosa are lovely and super respectful people — they made us feel like part of the family. As a couple, we really appreciated having a private room, such a thoughtful touch! The work was physically demanding due to the renovations. The organization was very day-to-day, which is all part of the adventure of being on a construction project :) Although the profile mentioned breakfast, it wasn't available because of the renovations, but they gave us full access to the kitchen so we could prepare whatever we wanted. It was a pleasure helping them during this stag

From the moment we arrived, Jorge and Rosa welcomed us very well. I loved that upon arrival Jorge took the time to explain how things work and the tasks to be carried out; therefore everything was always very clear.
We had a private room with my partner, which we greatly appreciate; it is a very quiet place near the beach and the town. In the hostel there are Duquesa, bandido and cuchita who are adorable.
Among the tasks performed, we learned about the service that Jorge and Rosa carry out every day by feeding stray kittens on the street; I will always remember it.
Many thanks for everything 🙏🏻

It was a wonderful experience enjoying the sea and the waves. Don Jorge and Rosa are excellent people and they have a lovely task that is feeding the stray kittens, which I enjoyed very much. Besides that, the tasks are simple and they are very honest and clear with the duties, very grateful 🫶🏻.

The hostel is very nice and has everything you need. The volunteer room is super comfortable and has its own bathroom with warm water. The tasks are simple and the schedule is always respected. What I liked most is that the hostel is very quiet and the vibe is very nice; it's easy to feel comfortable. And the owners are lovely ❤️ the chats with Rosita are the best and Jorge is very flexible, I could even stay a few more days than agreed. Great experience, highly recommended!
