I had an amazing time creating content for this host. They have a beautiful eco resort with a scenic view. I could not get over that view. Sunrise and sunsets were amazing. Food was good. The host and family were very sweet, including me In everything. They took me on a boat tour. Had a blast!

I really enjoyed my experience here. Everyone was very friendly and treated me with so much kindness. The work was fair and it is an excellent location as you have access to many hiking locations and many different cities to explore. The room I stayed in was repainted as well which made it look nicer than previously.

The host is very communicative and even if our shedule changed because of our bus had been a big late they welcomed us and give us accommodation lat at night, too. However we left after the first night, because we realised the room that we got has mould and Berni has allergie. The wall is humid and that's why it can have mould. We really wanted to stay and help. The place has beautiful location in the nature with nice view. We felt sorry that we could stay. I think if the owner will remove the mould and give the room a clean coat of paint, the place will be great.

Lamento ver un comentario de una Estrella cuando nosotros les dimos estadía gratis y decidieron retirarse sin siquiera haber limpiado o tendido la cama prestada.

Nosotros fuimos súper comunicativos todo el tiempo, incluso aceptamos que llegarían dos días tarde debido a que su autobús se retrasó y estuvimos despiertos hasta la media noche esperando su llegada y pendientes de ellos, me duele ver que nos pongan una estrella en comunicación cuando en su comentario ellos mismos afirman que fuimos muy comunicativos.

El hostel te hace ser participe en las actividades diarias que realizan. Al ser un emprendimiento familiar me incluyeron como que si fuera un miembro más de la familia. Asimismo, respetan los horarios acordados de la plataforma. Recomiendo este voluntariado si es que desean desconectarse del ruido de la ciudad y tener una vista maravillosa el hostel San Pablo. Gracias a todo el staff, los aprecio mucho.

Este lugar me dejó una huella, pude conocer el Imbabura y contemplar el paisaje, realice actividades sencillas, se respetaron los horarios y fueron flexibles. Conviví con una familia muy hogareña amables y generosos. Don Efrain un excelente ser humano ha forjado extraordinarios hijos trabajadores, honestos y honrados.
