We stayed for 2 weeks at uli's place and we had loads of fun. It's the perfect place to discover chefchouan. The vibe at the hostel is super chilled and the work was also not hard at all. We helped out in the garden, did some varnishing, cleaned, picked Olives,.. Usually small tasks with a lot of freedom. We went to the market every week to get… read more

I stayed at the hostel for 2 weeks, and it was a really nice experience! Chefchaouen and the mountains around are one of the most beautiful place in Moroxco, and the other volunteers were really nice.
It rained for 3-4 days while I was there, and that was really annoying because there's not much to do when it's raining, and the city is 15 minutes… read more

We had a great time staying and working at the Hostel. It was in the off season (January) so the workload was very relaxed. Carolina was in charge while we were there, because Uli was out of country. The work is done in shifts, which we really enjoyed because it gave us scheduled time off each day, as well as full days off for sightseeing. The… read more

(Sorry for the late review...better late than never,right?!) My first Workaway in Morocco couldn’t be better, I totally fell in love with Chefchaouen, and life at the hostel treated me very well. Plus I made plenty of new friends and had loads of great adventures. Totally recommend visiting Uli and this little corner of paradise called Chefchaouen.

I stayed at Uli's for about a month and I had a really fun time there! Chaouen is a very calm city in the mountains with lots of hikkings and beautiful views, people there is very friendly and respectful (they also respect your personal space). The hostel is in a residencial area 15 minutes away from the medina by walking, so it's even more calm… read more

Working at the hostel was a great experience. The tasks were simple and straightforward, meals were included and free laundry. The sunsets were beautiful, the Médina was lovely, and several nearby beautiful lakes to visit. Most of all, my favorite thing was interacting with all of the hostel guests and just hanging out at the hostel. Uli was… read more

The location of the hostel is very good and you can easily reach the market and the medina on foot from there. It is super quiet there and the views are very good. We met beautiful people, other volunteers, guests, Uli and Meryem, and last but not least Ali the donkey. The work is light, the food is good and the vibe is excellent! We will miss… read more

Uli os a nice German guy, It is not very organized but the hostel works well with volunteers. The hostel is outside the medina and has amazing views, there are many grapes and we miss them :). It was a good experience even for a short time. We arranged the bedding and fixed some broken things and we built beds from scratch for the terrace.

Really nice place if you want to stay outside of the Medina in a calm and quiet place, the rooftop has a amazing view, all the people in the hostel are nice, guests, volunteers and the Donkey Ali.
The job is not hard and Uli provides a nice food with vegetarian and vegan options.

Chefchaouen is definitely a beautiful city to spend some good time! I was really excited for this workaway experience but it wasn't that fun! Uli is an excellent person but he needs to be more organized with the hostel and the things we need to do. Most of the time we worked more hours than what's supposed to. I found myself kinda lost most of the… read more

The guesthouse is the perfect spot to enjoy Chefchaouen. You can feel all the beauty of the city and mountains without being in the messy medina. The view from the terrace is unique. The work is easy to do. Uli is super chill, he likes to share with the volunteers and have interesting conversations.
