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!

Thank you Indi, your collaboration was very important to us, always attentive to the tasks entrusted, greetings from Máncora.

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

Our experience in Máncora was very special! During volunteering, we helped clean the rooms and the hostel areas, in addition to hanging clothes and carrying out other tasks necessary for the place's daily routine. It was a calm and pleasant experience, and we loved meeting and contributing to this space.
The people in charge of the hostel are very calm, welcoming, and easy to get along with. We felt very comfortable there and were happy to have lived this experience. We highly recommend this volunteering!

It was really relaxed. On the first day, they explained the activities and schedules. We stayed in a private room, did everything in the morning, and had the rest of the day free to enjoy the beach and the pool as well ♥️

The place is just like the photos, it's two blocks from the beach. The tasks are simple and the hosts, Rosa and Jorge, make you feel at home not only because of the hospitality, but they are also very flexible with schedules and tasks. Also, they have a loving little dog, Duqui, and three cats. You can cook, store your food, swim in the pool and rest on the hammocks. Travelers from all over the world arrive; you'll be able to speak several languages. The sunsets on the beach are incredible. 100% recommended, just don't forget to bring insect repellent!!

Increíbles 2 semanas en Máncora! Jorge y Rosa son encantadores y súper respetuosos. Como pareja valoramos mucho que nos dieran habitación privada. Como nos tocó estar mientras estaba cerrado por reformas, fue una experiencia de mucho trabajo físico y construcción. La organización era un poco de día a día, ¡pero parte de la aventura de una obra! 😀 Con el tema del desayuno, aunque no estaba servido como dice el perfil (seguro por lo que estaban en obras), Jorge y Rosa nos abrieron la cocina con toda la confianza del mundo. Un gusto haberlos ayudado en esta etapa y les deseamos lo mejor.
