Lena 1.0
"Horrible!!! The staff in the school is suuuuper unfriendly. I would never ever in my life book this horrible school again!!!!!! There is no warm water for 40$ a night ?! And the Manager “Celia “ doesn’t care, she just said that I’m a liar and that was her solution of the problems. The walls in my single room were wet and there was a horrible smell in there. Disgusting! Completely overpriced ! This trip was the worst one I ever had and on top of these unfriendly people I paid a huge amount of money."

“Hmmm not much I did not like, but I saw some teachers struggling with the slow computer haha, maybe time to buy a new one. And it would have been nice to get some coffee next to tea during coffee breaks. Luckily there is a fine coffee shop 2 mins walking from the school”

“We had massive health problems and were overwhelmed by the empathy of the teachers. The possibility of being able to consult a doctor at school, who not only organized the necessary clinic visits, but also accompanied us, was a huge help.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: The individual lessons were very helpful in really practicing speaking. However, 6 hours a day are also exhausting: learning Spanish must really be the top priority of the stay.

“I hate everything at school. There is nothing I can say what was good and this is really sad.”
Insider tip: “The Market in Pisac”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: Horrible!!! The staff in the school is suuuuper unfriendly. I would never ever in my life book this horrible school again!!!!!! There is no warm water for 40$ a night ?! And the Manager “Celia “ doesn’t care, she just said that I’m a liar and that was her solution of the problems. The walls in my single room were wet and there was a horrible smell in there. Disgusting! Completely overpriced ! This trip was the worst one I ever had and on top of these unfriendly people I paid a huge amount of money.Other comments: Never ever again. Worst trip ever and cost us a lot of nerves because the manager (Celia) is not willing to help you with any problems.School's reply:: Hi Lena. We are so sorry that you were not happy with your experience at our school. Of course, we already have discussed this extensively in Cusco during your stay. We’re sorry to hear you don’t have a good feeling about one of our staff members; I can ensure that we do our very best to make all our students happy and to solve every issue. That’s why we were on top of infrastructure issues as the hot water connections and your food requests. When you still weren’t happy, we agreed upon a full refund for the missed weeks. You even extended your Spanish courses for another week, and you actually gave a good review to our Spanish course (“ the school was good”) and to our Spanish teachers, cultural activities and tours. We appreciate that. We wish you all the best! The AMAUTA team

“The opportunity to get to know the other students and to explore the area with them. And the teachers were positive and enthusiastic.”
Insider tip: “Find the other students in the kitchen and plan fun things together. Look also outside Dos Manos when booking activities”

Other comments: The collaboration with Dos Manos is, in my opinion, not of great value for Amauta.

"The host mother was great and very caring. Unfortunately, another very eloquent language student was in the accommodation, so that the hoped-for language practice in everyday conversation was somewhat limited.
