My stay at the hostel was really nice. Michael is a very friendly person that was always kind even though I made a few mistakes during my first shift. The Hotel is lokated perfectly to discover San pedro and the other cities around the lake, which i did in my free time before my shifts. I always worked the evening shift, from 3 - 8 pm at reception, which was pretty chill. Really enjoyed my time there.

This was a really nice experience, the work was very mixed. It ranged from helping in the restaurant to doing gardening and construction work. Sometimes it would be busy and sometimes quiet so there was an entertaining mix of things to do. The people were so nice and welcoming, they were amazing. It was a bonus being in a place that was a bit out of the centre and had a nice chill vibe about it. I would recommend!

The Don Pascual experience was great :) my tasks were varied, I helped in the restaurant, in gardening and in painting a mural with other volunteers, which made the work very versatile and not at all boring! The area with the stalls is okay; during the period I was there, there was no hot water in the shower. Michael is understanding and flexible, the communication was always clear and positive. I had the opportunity to connect with amazing people during my volunteering. Very, very grateful for what I lived at Don Pascual!

People are very friendly and everything agreed from the start is always kept; it was my first volunteering experience and, to be honest, I had a great time with everyone.

My experience at the hostel was very educational; the location is excellent, a place with access to the lake. A view that brightens your day. Unfortunately I arrived in the rainy season, which made the facilities a bit difficult for my stay, since there was no hot water. I had some concerns that Michael addressed with respect, and I am very grateful. I met people that I carry in my heart. Flori helped me and taught me a lot as well. I wish you all the success for your projects! β€οΈβœ¨πŸ«‚ Thank you for opening the doors to that beautiful place. πŸ€πŸƒ
