I read the negative review and must confess that I had some doubts coming here, especially because it was said that the animals were malnourished.I'went anyway, luckily! I had a wonderful three weeks. I felt very welcome and enjoyed every minute. Javi is an attentive host and likes to take care of it that you are having a good time by Introducing you to friends and guests and preparing delicious food. The dogs and cats are great. They are certainly not malnourished, but are well cared. The location is beautiful and working in the garden was a pleasure. I hope to come back one day.

Breakfast and lunch was included and believe me: it was very tasty! On thursdays we headed to antigua to give out soups- it's a wonderful experience. Im grateful for the time at Benji's and hope to come back one day:-)

I had a great time at the project! I connected with nature and could help in the garden / at the field. On thursdays we gave out soups in antigua, that was a nice experience as well! The working time is from 8 in the morning till 1 p.m. Benji prepares breakfast and lunch - it's delicious!! I ate the best cannelonis ever :)) If you wanna work outdoors, learn more about gardening and escape the city life this is a great opportunity. Cute cats and dogs included:D
