Vino is a great host! We had the best time at his hostel, which is just the right mix of homely and hostel! A very chilled out and relaxed vibe. During our time there it felt a lot like a little family with the other long stay guests! There is so much to see and do in the area. Great food! Highly recommended!

It was great hosting you guys. Both Clarice & Tom are amazing, hard working and very friendly. They did more than what i expected. They walked in as strangers, left as family. Thank you so much guys.

Thoroughly enjoyed our first workaway experience. We felt very comfortable from day one. He is one of the most friendly people we have met on our travels and a treat to work for. When I visited a couple weeks later it felt like visiting an old friend, thank you Vinoth for a great few weeks!

We immediately felt at home at this beautiful, green, quite, relaxed and cool hostel. It has a vibe of being a shared home, where everyone knows everybody and hangs out in the evenings. The work was easy and little, and there is enough to do in the surroundings. Vino has many tips for good food or things to do as well. Vino, thanks for having us.… read more
