The Experience

Hello traveler! If you're looking to have an experience near the beach in a cozy little house and feel like family, this is your place. The tasks we need help with are room cleaning, common areas, and check-ins. We treat volunteers the way we would like to be treated if we were volunteers somewhere else. That's why we've set a good and flexible schedule; we encourage you to join! Thank you

Ruth nos recibió muy amablemente. Tuvimos nuestro espacio tanto físico como en el diálogo con Ruth. Ha sido muy amable, graciosa y respetuosa. Durante nuestra estadía de 1 semana cuidamos la limpieza del pequeño edificio hostal de 2 plantas. Nos hemos sentido super bien, cómodos y el trabajo ha sido el pautado y sobró tiempo para conocer la zona :))

Deben saber que no es solo la limpieza del hostel, sino que también hay que limpiar Tango House. No se respetan horarios para enviar mensajes, fuera de tu turno estás recibiendo mensajes sobre lo que faltó, lo que hay que hacer, y sobre todo de LO MAL QUE HICISTE LAS COSAS. Juan no tiene una comunicación asertiva y no es positivo a la hora de hacer devoluciones. Como se vive en el lugar debes estar atenta 24hs sobre lo que pasa con los huespedes. Te pide que cuides el lugar como si fuera tu casa pero te prohíbe recibir visitas. Si terminas antes de hacer tus tareas no podes irte.

Thank you very much for your comment. In this life there are people who see the glass half empty or half full, unfortunately you are one of those who see it half empty. At least that’s what you’ve shown in the few days you were here. I only told you 2 or 3 details that you forgot after congratulating yourself by saying 'good job', and just for that you get angry and threaten to leave. The normal thing is that when you start in a new place you make small mistakes and the person there tells you so that the next day things go better; if you don’t accept that or it makes you feel bad, well, you’ll tell me... I’m very 'tough' for saying that to you, my God how we are, look inside yourself to see what’s going on. More: if you’re living with guests it’s normal that you interact with them, and if you see something like they dirty up or make noise, etc., the normal thing is that you say something to them because you are living there. That, apparently, costs you a great sacrifice... And messages outside your shift... but if it’s a group WhatsApp and it’s for everyone, well, don’t read it and that’s it; if you don’t want to know anything about the place where you’re living, miss!! How little commitment you have... and how annoying it is to read messages outside your schedule. And of course you can’t receive visitors because it’s a shared house; you didn’t tell me before coming that you wanted to be receiving visits from your friends... otherwise that point would have been clarified. Hosts who read this review, beware: she leaves from one day to the next without warning.
