My stay at the lodge was very tranquil and peaceful. Ana was very accommodating to anything I needed as a guest in her home and I enjoyed our time together. I was asked to do many jobs in any way I could help the community and I was glad to do it! Definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for place to enjoy nature and peace. Thanks for everything Ana!

The experience was nice overall and the little towns are cute but there's not much really happening. It's good to disconnect from big cities and tourists and connect with nature. Great for biking around. Don't hesitate to contact me for further details.

Thank you Javier for the review, thank you for the recipes you made in our house, they were good times. I am very sorry not to practice English, it was difficult for me, and seeing that there were other tasks at home.... Many kisses and I hope we stay in touch

Muchas gracias a toda la familia del alojamiento por abrirme las puertas de su hogar. Me llevo bonitos recuerdos de esta experiencia, donde no solo colaboré en limpieza y redes sociales, sino que también pude compartir con la familia, aprender obre la cultura vasca, escuchar la lengua Euskera y visitar entornos naturales en Gipúzcoa . Todo eso en tan solo 1 mes de voluntariado! Si te gustaría desconectar de las grandes ciudades y te gusta el senderismo y la naturaleza, el alojamiento es el lugar indicado para ti. Eskerrik asko!

Hola Guanda!!

Estamos profundamente agradecidos por haber tenido a Guanda con nosotros este último mes. Desde el primer día, se integró perfectamente en nuestra familia, mostrando una gran disposición para aprender, colaborar y compartir momentos especiales con nosotros. Su entusiasmo por descubrir la cultura y las tradiciones del País Vasco fue inspirador, y fue un placer acompañarla en sus exploraciones y experiencias.

A lo largo del mes, Guanda no solo asumió sus responsabilidades con dedicación, sino que también aportó una energía positiva y una actitud muy amigable, que todos en casa apreciamos mucho. Aunque el trabajo puede ser desafiante, Guanda lo enfrentó con mucha entereza y siempre con una sonrisa.

Esperamos sinceramente poder recibirla de nuevo en el futuro y le enviamos un gran abrazo de parte de toda la familia: Elene, Amets, Soula, Ana y Eder. Recomendamos a Guandasin dudarlo, y estamos seguros de que será una gran aportación a cualquier hogar que la reciba. ¡Hasta pronto!
