Everything was great; Kathy and David were a delight. The tasks were fine, a bit more demanding than in other volunteer programs but easy to learn. We were given a very nice private room with a private bathroom. The only thing I would comment on is that during the two and a half weeks we stayed they kicked us out of that room five times and sent us to another hostel to give the room to guests, and it doesn’t feel comfortable having to do check-outs constantly and being told on the same day. Besides that, we learned to cook deliciously and ate very well.

Everything's great! Thanks to Katy and David for everything.

The only thing to improve would be to try not to move the volunteers to another hostel when the room is rented, as it's not very convenient to move from one hostel to another.

Otherwise, simple tasks; Kathy is very generous and a good opportunity to get to know the local life of the town

La experiencia en el hostel, en la ciudad de Ollantaytambo, fue muy especial. Pude explorar el valle sagrado y conectarme con personas locales. Las tareas diarias fueron tranquilas y el lugar está perfectamente ubicado en el centro. Tuve la oportunidad de vivir las festividades de fin de año y profundizar en la cultura local. Lo recomiendo a todos.
