Great experience, Lovely place, and super nice vibes. Sandra is a great person, she helps you to get settled in as if you were at home, there are some great spaces, and her pets are the light of this world. Like everything in life, you are exchanging value, so, be helpful! Highly recommend.

I wouldn't recommend this volunteer because in 1 month we have to do activities similar as a professional workers, if you don't have building skills and any good organización, you will have a stressful experience. I thought that i had to follow any process with all materials ok , but no, practically in my case i had to planing everything for completing any activity like what kind of materials and tools we had to buy and teach all aspects to my partner because he doesn't know too much about buildings . The host said to us that we would extend the volunteer but it wasn't true

Sandra replied

Andoni, puedo entender que la experiencia haya sido estresante para ti y respeto tu percepción. Lo que no puedo entender es la falta de compromiso con el proyecto. Completasteis una parte, pero quedaron tareas pendientes y el proyecto dejó de avanzar. La falta de comunicación y planificación hizo la situación muy difícil para mí. Además, esto es independiente del estado en que quedaron mi casa y algunas herramientas que están estropeadas. Te ayude incluso en tus gestiones personales

Sandra was clearly not ready to host volunteers. The house renovation project lacked any type of plan, leaving another volunteer, despite not being a professional builder, to plan, budget and buy materials, taking on the host's role. That didn't stop the host's expectations from changing constantly, even though no technical guidance was provided and there was no one supervising the work. This made my stay unnecessarily stressful. Although AC is offered, Sandra repeatedly asked me to turn it off with 40°C+ outside. Better planning and clearly defined responsibilities would've helped.

Sandra replied

Nunca os forcé a trabajar con 40°C. Tuvisteis total libertad de horarios y días, además de mi casa, solo para vosotros dos, con independencia y todas las comodidades. Aire acondicionado 24 horas.Confié en vosotros para sacar adelante el proyecto, pero hubo continuas excusas, y constantes ausencias sin avisar. Dejasteis la casa sucia y dañasteis cosas y herramientas. El proyecto no se cumplió ni en tiempo ni en compromiso, y me decepcionó vuestra falta de honestidad.

I felt welcomed by Sandra. The hours are good. Keep in mind that this is a little far from anything to do. You have a bus and the bus ride is maybe 40 minutes and then you can either take the train or another bus. It was very hot and you WILL be sweating. In the room you stay in, there is no air condition nor fan, so it is very hot during the day, even in your room.

Giselle es verano es Málaga y hace mucha calor, yo os avisé las altas temperaturas de el verano aquí. en la casa hay aire acondicionado pero no en las habitaciones, igualmente has usado el aire acondicionado cada día, has tenido una habitación para ti sola, limpia y acondicionada para ti. te has duchado las veces que has querido y has puesto muchas lavadoras, no me parece justa tu puntuación.
