My stay at the camping was such a lovely experience! Serioshka was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always checking in to make sure I was doing well. Communication was great throughout my stay, which made everything feel easy and comfortable. Communication was great, and the tasks were simple and manageable—taking care of the dogs, helping Pancho with gardening and trimming trees, assisting with housekeeping, and keeping the house and kitchen clean and tidy. Tepoztlan is truly a magical town, beyond grateful for the experience and would definitely recommend staying here!

This experience was a dream. Serioshka is a wonderful host, teaching tips and tricks of the garden and the city along the way and helping out in whatever may be needed. Your main tasks are looking after the dogs (it is simply impossible to not fall in love with the dogs). And watering the garden daily. You work with Serioshka and Poncho the gardener throughout the week on various tasks to maintain and learn about the garden. Tepotzlan is a sleepy city, but there is always something to do. If you enjoy making art, hiking, nature, and simply exploring - this is the place for you!

The garden is beautiful and maintained with a lot of love! Tasks were simple and managed independently. Highlights were assisting Pancho the gardener, who had interesting info to share about life in Tepoztlan, the beautiful sunny weather, and cooking in the outdoor kitchen.

I stayed for 17 days and didn't get to spend much time in person with Serioshka, but she communicated on Whatsapp about tasks. I was surprised to be there with 1 - 2 other solo volunteers throughout my stay, though we got along great. The home is on a mountain, so prepare for lots of steep walking & great views!

Our stay at the camping was an unforgettable experience, I feel I've come away with lifelong connections. Serioshka and her three lovely pups welcomed us into their space and made us feel right at home. The jobs are very fair and enjoyable, and gardening days with Pancho are an excellent time to learn and develop your language skills. We were shown a couple things in the art studio and Serioshka sent us a few books and videos personally picked out to inspire us and our art styles. The hardest part was leaving the dogs, I did shed a tear or two on the bus out of town!

From the moment I stepped into the camping I welcomed both by serioshka and her lovely dogs. Jose, Camilla and Renata (the dogs in questions) are treasures. Each have wonderful personalities and will demand nothing but cuddles. The workload is fair with regular jobs and added chores. The facilities are a little barebones but everything needed to exist comfortably is provided. Serioshka is a great host who will do everything she can to make you feel cared for and welcome.
