The Experience

Hello. We are a couple who run a finca that is dedicated to rural tourism. We are located near the south of the island and we always have good weather, unlike the Las Palmas area. We have 10 apartments and a restaurant that requires a lot of dedication. We have our workers, but any help is welcome so that things run better. If you are interested in our proposal, please do not hesitate to sign up for volunteering.

Finca originally was very nice, we shared meals together and they had us for christmas eve dinner. As a couple it was hard as we were often working opposite shifts and the Finca is 30 minutes from Maspalomas by bus. Nature is awesome in this area and room/hours were respected. The food was amazing. The only downside is that we were asked to leave as my partners work ethic was “not up to their standard” but nothing was communicated during or prior to us being yelled at and told we weren't needed. I really enjoyed my time there, before we were asked to leave.

It was a great experience. I couldn't have been better. The food was fantastic. It is a quiet and cozy place where you can enjoy the beach in the city and hiking in your days off. So. The host is utterly friendly and respect the work time. Thanks for the wonderful time there I would never forget It. I definitely recommend It.

It was a wonderful experience, as it was my first volunteering experience. The tasks were very easy, the timelines were respected, and they were very open about the food topic.
I'm taking home a wonderful memory of my time at the Finca. Lari, Carlos, Kate, Ana, Jorge, Lore, Tomas, and Puri made me feel incredibly welcome.
I was able to explore a lot of the island, and when I return I will definitely come by to say hi! 😊

An amazing experience✨️. The place is incredible!! If you like the mountains, you'll love it!! The food is delicious, and the oranges from the farm are spectacular. The facilities are very good. The tasks and the schedules are carried out correctly. Simple tasks, and even though there might be more work at times, Larisa and Carlos transmit calm. They are such wonderful people, super hospitable and attentive. And with Carlos you'll laugh a lot!! I felt at home!! Very grateful!! I'll visit again!!💛

My experience was marked by a clear discrepancy between what was offered and reality. Despite my flexibility in the face of initial changes, the conditions resembled a work relationship: demanding schedules, lack of breaks, and constant changes. When I respectfully expressed my limits, the host's attitude became distant and authoritarian. The lack of dialogue and empathy created an uncomfortable environment that led to my early departure. I believe that the meaning of volunteering is distorted, prioritizing productivity over well-being.

You have received everything that was promised to you and more; a clean room with everything you need, all the hearty breakfasts, meals, snacks and abundant dinners that were prepared for you and served with care. By contrast, when it came to doing the tasks, as you are outlining, 'your limits' prevented you, while other girls did them perfectly and had a good time just as they state in their reviews. We have empathy and we engage in dialogue, but we do not allow ourselves to be taken for fools.
