My recent volunteer experience at had its ups with nature and local connections. However, be ready for slightly longer hours and unexpected kitchen duties after your main tasks.

Overall, a positive mix of nature and community.

The week spent in Spicy Villa Eco Lodge was one of the most beautiful experiences I've ever had so far. Yummy food, waterfalls 5 minutes away, beautiful people and vibes. I decided to stay longer because I feel at home. It's my first volunteer experience, I will recommend it to everyone :) a special thanks to Hot that's a really good guy!

Unfortunately I would not recommend this experience to anyone. The host was very rude and hostile towards the volunteers and the rest of the staff. He regularly yelled at us and insulted us. At one point, he cursed at one of the volunteers and chased her down the stairs. Because of this, me and the other 11 volunteers who were there at the time had to leave early. This is was very unfortunate because the rest of the staff was very kind and welcoming. He also expected us to work incredibly long hours which exceeded the 32 hours per week that was listed on worldpackers.

okay no hate here most of the people seemed nice but the main guy i think his name was joe was just a bit rude the work itself wasn’t horrific it was like hard work so yk be prepared for that but we obviously didn’t know what it was he wanted us to do so we would ask and he was clearly annoyed by that a couple of times we asked is there anything else you would like us to do and just got ignored. i would say it wasn’t really what we were expecting definitely not as relaxing as people made it seem. The main reason we ended up leaving is because someone messaged us to say leave it only gets worse

Unfortunately my experience was not very good. The moment the owner arrived the whole thing changed. Although the staff, the place and the other volunteers were amazing, the owner ruined everything. He was yelling at us constantly for doing everything wrong but he never gave us any instructions so everyone was just on edge the whole time. It got so bad that he threatened to throw us out at 2am and made us feel very unsafe so we had to pack our things in the middle of the night and all of us left the next morning so yeah I wouldn’t recommend unfortunately.
