I had such a great experience volunteering at the host. From the first day, I felt welcomed and part of the team. The atmosphere is friendly, the work is well organized, and the tasks are fair and manageable. I also had plenty of time to explore Antigua, meet amazing people from around the world, and enjoy the local culture. It was the perfect balance between volunteering and traveling. I'm really grateful for everything I learned and for the connections I made during my stay. I would definitely recommend the host to anyone looking for a fun, supportive, and memorable volunteer experi

How lovely, thank you very much, Nirvana; it's nice to read that you felt appreciated, and I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you again here someday.

My partner and I had an amazing 2 weeks at the host. You will either be translating a class and washing up, or flyering in town. Shifts are either over lunch or dinner hours.The included lunches were amazing and you eat them with the other volunteers and chefs. We also got dinners after a class if there was extra food left over.
The volunteer accommodation was very clean. and the beds all had their own power outlet and curtain. They had lockers for valuables but the main door to the dorm room doesn't have a lock.

Great experience getting involved with the team of local people running an authentic the host class. Work load was very manageable especially because it was shared between my wife and I. Translating was a challenge at times due my very limited Spanish but we made it work and it was good fun. The hostel accommodation is good bathrooms always clean, although kitchen equipment and processes at the hostel could be improved. The host was always kind and helpful. I would recommend this opportunity.

We really enjoyed our time at the host! The cooks were amazing, very welcoming and made our time memorable. Our host was always friendly, responsive and helpful. The work was enjoyable, hours fair and we were very appreciative to have been able to plan our days off to complete the Fuego hike. The hostel is simple but comfortable, with basic facilities. There is some room for improvement but it is clear that the hosts are actively trying to improve the volunteer experience. Overall, we loved our time volunteering and would recommend it!
