Mexico
The volunteering was really great, I met wonderful people, I learned a lot and had fun. The food was great. They respect the work hours. The only thing is that I think the announcement has to be more clear, this is because this is a permaculture course, and with that comes all the classes and things they offer in the profile, but it has a cost (195 USD). So if you don't pay for the course you don't get the yoga classes and the other knowledge and information that appears in here. You can say no to the course, and only work as volunteer, but u have to pay $100 Bolivians per week for the food

All of this information is made clear to applicants and is on the displayed information for volunteer roles. Course participants get to enjoy a full week of learning permaculture, including pizza night in a rocket oven, a yoga class, back massage techniques, applied kineseology and a whole lot more. Course participants also dont have to contribure for food supplement on volunteer weeks allowing them to practice what they learned.
We greatly appreciate attendees as they allow us to teach our passion which is permaculture and help make what we do sustainable! Thank you again for your time with us Natalia. All the best.

Jessica and Simon made me and my boyfriend Kez feel so so welcome during our three week stay. We took the course which was really informative and interesting - including both theory and practical. A typical morning (when it's hot weather) is waking up at 6am to feed the animals and then maybe doing some weeding or gardening before breakfast. The food provided is excellent quality and healthy! We then continue work until 11am. Hours are respected, breaks are given and support is continuously given throughout. We also really enjoyed our yoga class with Jess! Thank you both again!

Simon & Jessica were the most amazing hosts during our 3 week stay at their permaculture farm. Each day offered us a chance to learn something new, from tending to the animals (ducks, chickens, rabbits and dogs) to learning about construction. It was a real opportunity for us to step out of our comfort zone and put in some real hard work! The 1 week course also offered an even deeper understanding of permaculture life, going into detail on subjects such as water management, creating an instant garden, holistic medicine and so much more. Thank you again Simon & Jessica for everything!

I volunteered at the centre for two weeks. Simon and Jessica are great, the schedules are kept and the work is varied. I shared the days off with other volunteers and went by car to the river and waterfall to pass the heat and drought of November. I think it should be clarified that some of the activities that appear in their profile (for example meals or yoga classes) are just included in the permaculture course (195$) and need to be paid separately for volunteers. Food is 100 bs per week and is absolutely worth it. (fresh, varied, healthy). Thank you both so much for everything! 🥰

We have since notified Worldpackers that the way their system prompts hosts to display available services gets mispresented as free to prospective volunteers.
We are very clear with what is and what isnt included before anyone arrives including with you. They are resolving this issue now.
As an aside, I went out of my way to teach you carpentry and support you over 2 mornings to make the door which would have taken me 30 minutes to make. There is no mention of such in your review. It can make a host feel unappreciated and recalcitrant to make such efforts over and above the agreed free exchange. Please bear this in mind in the future.
