Seán is an attentive host. He always makes jokes and cares about your well-being. It was my first time as a volunteer and I don't think it could have been better! If you are looking for a beautiful, calm place where you can connect with nature, this is the ideal experience. If you are a digital nomad or like to be online all the time, you may have problems with your internet connection. Regardless, enjoy!

The guest house is an amazing place to be. You will connect with nature and enjoy it. You can walk or bike anywhere in the island and it is really worth it. Sean is a nice host and provides all you need to have a comfort stay. Tasks are easily done, it's important to be in a good vibe if you're asked to change tasks at the moment. I had the best time and all was well. I learned a lot and wish to have spent more time there. Beware that phone data and WiFi may not work properly due to the location. I truly recommend this experience.

The experience was amazing! Sean is a really kind person and he listen to you about your interests and concerns. This experience is perfect if you want to improve your English and your skills on hostels. The place is nice and you gonna have time for disconnect and discover the island :)

The guest house is a beautiful place in a beautiful island! The meals and accommodation are great. Unfortunately, I didn't get along with the host. He asked me to leave on my first day because, according to him, the work couldn't be done with crutches, which I had because I'm healing from a foot injury. While I looked for another place, I did all the work needed with no problem 🤷‍♀️ I understand that I hadn't warned him, but that was only because I knew I'd be able to do the tasks, as I did. Besides the ableism, he was very respectful all the time and was friendly to the other volunteers.

It is my belief that a broken leg needs time to heal and regrettably, doing chores with us with a broken leg would not be the right medicine. Kind regards, Seán.
