I really enjoyed my time at the guest house and would recommend the experience to anyone looking to explore Baños del Inca, Cajamarca and surrounding sites. There was good, clear communication with the host, Abraham, before and during my stay. He is very approachable, welcoming, kind, understanding and flexible in terms of shifts. I felt very welcome, tasks were as described and working hours respected. There's a wonderful garden to enjoy in your spare time, regular minibuses to Cajamarca (S/2), and thermal baths nearby - worth at least one visit! Thanks again for everything and all the best.

Abraham is a great host and I'm grateful for his generosity and hospitality. the guest house has become my home in Baños for two weeks and I'm happy I got to work here. The shifts are not too demanding as they usually are in the morning / early afternoon so you have plenty of free time to explore around town and/or go to Cajamarca. It's an ideal place if you want to live close to nature away from the hustle of a city. Totally recommend!

My time at the guest house was a great experience! The tasks were generally clearly defined and a schedule with hours was assigned weekly. The jobs were basic and fun, either cooking breakfast and cleaning the kitchen, helping with gardens, making beds or cleaning the washrooms. There was flexibility in tasks and the property is super peaceful! In general Abraham is a great guy and super friendly. He welcomes you to his home like its your own. I was only there for a week but we had shared dinners, a BBQ and a hike in Cumbemayo. The other volunteers were lots of fun too! Thanks so much Abraham :)

I absolutely loved my time here! the guest house is such a wonderful place, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. The city itself is beautiful, and I had plenty of time outside of work to explore the local sights. Overall, this was a fantastic work experience very relaxed, with light tasks. Even as a beginner in Spanish, communication was easy, and everyone was very understanding. Plus, their pets were all so adorable! A big thank you to everyone, especially Doris and Abraham for all the care and kindness.
