Luis was a very gracious host who made my stay very comfortable. He was flexible with my travel plans and offered to take the guests out for food and a day trip. I felt safe and comfortable in my room and had no problem using the shared bathroom and kitchen. I highly recommend staying at the guest house if you are visiting Puebla!

This was my first Worldpacker experience. Luis and Dulce are very kind and welcoming. My main responsibility was online English classes every weekday late afternoon with his nieces and nephews. I created my own lesson plans and presentations bc I have a background in language education. But if you don't, Luis gives you access to an online book to use with them.
The house has a bright living room and a spacious private bedroom with your own bathroom (this was a big draw for me). Within a 1 minute walk there's a bodega and a laundromat. Everyone who lives in the house is really nice.

Luis and Dulce were wonderful hosts. The work commitment was minimal, and it was specific to the skills and experience that I brought. I helped teach Luis' nieces and nephews English via Google Meet. We did classes several times a week, I helped prepare materials, and I also helped out with general maintenance and cleaning at the house. Overall it was a very reasonable amount of work for staying in such a nice place. I also went with them on a day trip to Chignahuapan and Zacatlán which was so fun!

Luiz and Dulce are exceptionally warm and welcoming! Their sunny, spacious home sits in a friendly, safe neighborhood. This remains my best volunteering experience—having a private room, sharing Chinese lessons, making mooncakes, and exploring local churches and culture with them. Highly recommended for visitors to Mexico, especially freelancers. With their rich background in travel and remote work, Luiz and Dulce offer a perfect space for inspiring conversations.

I absolutely recommend this experience! Dulce and Luis went above and beyond as hosts by showing me the local culture and cuisine, as well as beautiful hiking spots. The accommodations were excellent, and I felt safe in the home/ neighborhood. Cholula and Puebla are amazing places to explore, full of historical architecture and art. I really treasure the time I spent at the guest house :)

I had a great experience with Luis! He made me feel really welcomed and comfortable and did everything to make my experience amazing. I stayed for a month and Luis took me to all kinds of local places to try new foods and immerse myself in the culture of Cholula. I definitely recommend bringing your own sheets and pillowcase and maybe a fan. I also think it's really important to be proficient at Spanish, as during the dinners you will be the only one communicating with the clients. For the dinners, you are in charge of almost everything, which I think is important to know beforehand:)

Avoid bringing a fan Please ensure you select the most appropriate bed sheets for your comfort based on the season I offer options for you to choose from — will you choose to wear a sweater at the beach and use a fan? If customer service or providing attention to guests isn't something you're comfortable with, please let me know in advance!
Being part of a special celebration and receiving thanks for a perfect dinner is one of the most beautiful aspects of volunteering :) :) :) :)

I had a great stay with Luis, i felt very welcomed and comfortable. I had a lot of freedom to do whatever I wanted, and we coordinated schedules to go places together. There was always something to do, and the area is very safe and close to a lot of things:)

The hosts Luis and Dulce were super nice. This was my very first solo trip so I had no clue what to expect. I wished I could've gone with my friends or met other travelers to do the sights more. The room was very nice and comfortable except in the morning and at night. It got a little chilly but they provided me extra blankets. I wished I could've done more for the hosts. And I feel really bad about the bird. I'd definitely love to go back again.

I had a good time at the guest house, the work was easy, mostly house repairs/ upgrades. We were left to manage our own time and projects which I enjoyed but found challenging sometimes as we had little guidance. Luis was a kind host and took us to a few places we wanted to see but we usually only talked to him every few days as he was busy with other projects. The surrounding area is very chill with nice shops and some things to do within walking/ bus distance. There was another roommate that I hardly saw and I spent most of my time with another volunteer which truly made my experience great.

I loved the experience at the guest house, it is definitely a home away from home. I 100% recommend this experience mainly to connect with the local community, learn a lot about the culture, enjoy the food exploring typical dishes from Puebla. The hosts are the best I have had so far, especially Dulce, who I miss a lot, both will always be supporting you in whatever you need in case of doubts.
