Rafa has been an amazing host, he really cares for the volunteers and their well being, and regularly took us out of the host to do little trips around. the house was cozy, could use some improvement here and there but overall a pleasant place to hang out, cook etc.

I had a wonderful experience for more than a month in the host thanks to the amazing people I get to meet and work with, staff and volunteers and the host itself is located in a gorgeous the host full of luxurious nature where you can find amazing places to hike during your free time. The hours of work are well respected and the horses adorable to work with and take care. I can only recommend :)

This was an ok experience for me. Hours certainly weren't as agreed. And apparently Jonina wasn't even aware of the work hours on here or Workaway. One example was the last group of tourists I assisted with a ride. I worked 8.5hrs. not uncommon to be expected to work 7+ hours, 5 days a week. And if you choose to stay at the host on your days off expect to be asked to do the feeding and medical treatments, which can take up to 2hrs depending on which field they are in. the host is extremely remote, 2hrs min walking to nearby road. Food could've been better but did improve. Wouldnt come again
