I had an amazing time with the kids! They were very friendly and eager to learn English. I recommend preparing lots of engaging activities, and having at least an intermediate level of Spanish is very helpful since there's no teacher alongside you. We were teaching around 1–2 hours a day, and the rest of the time we either had free time or helped Max at the bar. Max is super welcoming and easygoing, which made the whole experience even better. We also had access to things like the scooter, paddleboards, and hammocks… The area and lake are very beautiful. Thank you for this opportunity!!

I stayed one week in El Remate and had a great time! Ricardo was always available if we had any questions, and spending time with the kids was a lovely experience. To note, the home is no longer in use so the main other task was welcoming guests when I was there. Several things to do in the area are visiting Tikal, Flores, Santa Elena, walking around the lake, swimming, going to one of the local cafès, and trying the amazing cheap tacos across the street! If you are looking for a chill break, this is definitely the place for you to relax. I would say 7-10 days is plenty :)

I had a really positive experience with Richie and his project! It's a chill volunteering where you are given a lot of freedom and your initiative is appreciated. The English classes take place in a small village 10 mjn by bus from the hostel . The kids are super sweet and some are very eager to learn! I wanted to have a break from non stop moving while backpacking and it was the perfect experience. the home hostel is calm and quiet, so don't expect loads of things happening. Instead, I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to relax, make an impact connect with locals :)!

My time at the home was amazing. It's a super cozy place right by the lake! The time with the kids and the other volunteers was good, and it's so fun to see the kids wanting to learn english. The rest of my time i took Spanish lessons and just relaxed at the hotel! there is a lot to do around El Remate and you get a lot of freedom. The work is fairly easy and go get a lot of time to relax. And for me taking care of the dogs was the best!!🐶😊

Had so much fun in the home. It's very quiet, so not the place if you're not prepared to just chill and enjoy the environment a lot. The guys at the house were lovely and included me in their plans and social activities. The kids were adorable too and so much fun. Would definitely love to go back
