Freya was an absolute pleasure to host. Kind, respectful, easy to communicate with, and lovely company. She’s a hardworking, motivated person and a great cook who fit seamlessly into our home.

I spent a bit less than a month with Omur and his family and had a fantastic experience. I felt super well taken care of and got to contribute to various projects around their property, along with doing some routine farm tasks as well. I was mainly focused on shoveling and then spreading gravel for the new enclosures around the raised beds, firepit area, and front garden, though I also did some weeding and trimming of the olive trees. It was so cool to see what started purely as an idea begin to take shape, and I thought it a privilege to have a small part in it. I very much miss our regular evenings with tea and the fresh olive oil and eggs! I also enjoyed learning through our many conversations about life in Turkiye, food, and many other things, especially over some good Buzbağ ;) I'm deeply grateful that I had this opportunity and strongly hope to come back to see how the projects are coming along and maybe even help with an olive harvest. Thank you Omur and Ayla, all the best to you until I return! Daniel

Excellent

Anja and Christian were a great support for almost two months. During this time, Anja was responsible for the cat house—feeding, cleaning, and socializing the 21 cats—as well as feeding and walking the dogs. She handled all of these tasks absolutely wonderfully. The feed kitchen and the cat house were spotless—not just because they were cleaned, but because someone truly cared and paid attention to the details. She also always took the time for the cats and looked after them with genuine love. Christian was an incredible help on our large property. Whatever needed to be done, he always had a solution. He is highly skilled in gardening—he took care of the lawn, removed weeds, pruned trees, even gave lessons on tree pruning, fertilized, and built creative privacy and “pee-protection” structures. Both of them were a huge help, very patient despite the bad weather, and flexible with all kinds of tasks. It was a real pleasure having them with us, and of course we hope their path will lead them back to us one day. They are definitely a great asset to any project!

I loved my time at this place. Work is super chill, the place is beautiful and I loved hanging out and talking with the staff. It was really easy to go to the main island and I felt really comfortable everywhere.

Natalia and Ferdinando hosted us for a week in February. They both were very kind. We helped them on thé garden, around the house and to build their new eco house. It was very excited. We recommend them as a host.

Victoria a été d'une merveilleuse présence. Elle est pleine d'intelligence, d'égards et sait témoigner sa satisfaction.Ce fut un pur bonheur de l’accueillir.DE surcroit elle a fait une vidéo sur notre Centre qui est en lui-même un cadeau. Nous espérons avoir la joie de la revoir.

I had a good experience during my stay and I’m grateful for the opportunity. Min was kind and supportive, and I especially appreciated being welcomed and having the chance to stay a bit longer due to my flight cancellation situation. The students were lovely and I really enjoyed teaching them and spending time together. I met amazing volunteers during my stay as well. Thanks for everything!

Absolute legend. Had a very veryyy good experience here. The dogs were lovely and marko really kind. The hours of work were really versatile, I help him a bit renovate his room upstairs, making the garden nice and clean, and getting out the dogs ! He would bring me all over Slovenia and Italie mountain to do some hiking and tell me about the story of the country during first war. 10/10

I stayed with Luc and Andreza for about 12 days, and it was such a wonderful experience. From the very beginning, they made me feel welcome and comfortable. They prepared delicious food, brought me to a fun party on the weekend, and took me on a day trip to São Paulo where we explored Ibirapuera Park together. I joined all of the yoga classes during my stay, and they were truly amazing. I could feel my body becoming more flexible day by day. Luc is a super professional instructor! The people I met at the yoga studio were also very friendly, and I had many great conversations there. Ribeirão Pires is a lovely place. It is about one hour from São Paulo and has everything you might need. Luc’s place is conveniently located close to the train station and bus station, which makes getting around very easy. I also had free time when there were no classes, which gave me the chance to explore the area, visit parks, and enjoy local cafés. Luc and Andreza are wonderful hosts. They create such a positive, welcoming atmosphere. I’m really grateful for this experience and would definitely recommend staying with them! Obrigado!

una personas muy agradable, atento y dispuesto ayudar en cualquier tarea, con nosotros estuvo en jardinería y pintura, y todo super, nos dejo unas plantas sembradas SUPER... lo único es que solicito irse 1 semana antes de lo acordado....

Having you here was an absolute joy! Other volunteers and everyone in the community just loves to have you around. You brought such a great mix of leadership, kindness, and positive energy to the place and people. Your initiation to restarting the mushroom project was a success and still feeding the next groups for a few months . Some of your experiment with plants ,propagation are great lessons for us and others. We still have your super handmade curry paste in the fridge to share its supper spiciness. This is not to mention your chocolate ideas, you didn’t just participate you created. We are sure everyone still remember your generosity, the way you shopped and shared food with others. Your action spoke the value of caring and sharing of this community. So grateful that you are always checking in, with work progress, supporting, and caring, that means a lot to us. Thank you for everything you gave (and more). You’ll always have a place here as home.

We hosted Zenas for about three weeks and it was an unforgettable experience! He is an active, calm, friendly person with great organizational skills. My family and I were surprised by his practical skills in nature, with animals and in the garden. You can see his great passion! The weeks with Zenas and the other volunteer guys flew by, we also spent a lot of our free time together and I really appreciated his ability to share and adapt to different situations always with a smile on his face. Communication with him has always been clear and polite and has always helped us with daily chores before and after meals. Thanks Zenas, we miss you already! :)

Hosting Maï was an incredible experience for us. She brought so much joy and spring air to our family that it was wonderful to start this 2026 with her! We had time to get to know each other by spending a week alone before the rest of the group arrived and be able to dedicate ourselves to starting preparing the garden for the summer season, making our own chinotti jam and walking together in our free time. She was always available and active in the daily chores of the house and when the other volunteers arrived she had a great ability to create community and moments of sharing. It was all fun: from working hard moving lots of wood and manure.. to spending free time together! Very much recommended! Thanks Maï!!

Balasz arrived at the perfect moment—exactly when I needed strong, physical help—and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better support. From the very beginning, he showed great determination and a strong work ethic. Even when I tried to gently set the pace, he consistently proved himself to be resilient, hardworking, and fully committed to the tasks. Beyond work, we had a genuinely great connection. Balasz is an exceptionally intelligent person, someone you can talk to about virtually anything. Despite being much younger than me, his understanding of politics, geopolitics, and global economic mechanisms truly impressed me. It was also a pleasure to host someone from Hungary. Even though our languages feel like they come from completely different planets, we discovered a shared mindset—perhaps shaped by our Eastern European backgrounds, similar experiences, and, at times, similar perspectives. We had a lot of fun together. His help was not only valuable—it was essential, and it came exactly when I needed it most. There were moments when he worked longer hours, and I am very grateful for that. Balazs is easygoing, flexible, never complains, and has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend him to any future host—you will definitely appreciate having him around. Balázs, I wish you all the best in life. See you at your wedding someday 🙂

This was one of the most enriching experiences of my life! Thank you so much Sheela and Claude for letting me come and stay with you. They are two charming ladies who create a wonderful atmosphere at their french estate. There is so much to learn about their life stories, art, philosophy, language and cooking. There really is something in the air there that just makes you appreciate life in a new way. Their artists, visitors and friends were also very interesting to get to know. The tasks were simple and straight forward. Helping Claude in the kitchen was a joy, and I learnt so many good tips and recipes. I also drove to the store, set up chairs for their calligraphy course and vacumed areas of the house. I even got to attend the course for free, which I am very grateful for. I recommend coming here with all my heart <3

Loved the dogs and the work! Thank you SO much🩷 Thanks to Jules, Sebastian & Karen for welcoming us 🙌🏻

I had a great time staying at the hostel. From the first day I felt very welcome and the atmosphere here is really friendly and relaxed. The place is perfect if you like an active lifestyle, meeting new people, and enjoying the local area. Lucky especially made my stay unforgettable. He is not only a great host but also became a real friend during my time here. He is always positive, helpful, and makes sure everyone feels at home. We had many good conversations, laughs, and adventures together, which made the experience much more than just staying in a hostel. The hostel itself is clean, comfortable, and has everything you need. I stayed in many hostels during my travels, and what makes this place special is the people and the vibe. It’s easy to meet others here, but you can also relax when you want to. The cycling activities and tours are a big plus and make this place unique compared to other hostels. You really get to see the area in a different way. I would definitely recommend the hostel to anyone who wants a friendly place, good vibes, and an authentic backpacker experience. I hope to come back again one day.

Hannah and Hugo are lovely people who worked well within the team. They were friendly and happy and loved the animals. They would be welcome back here at any time.

Very nice and friendly person, we had a good experience. For DIY and help she is very not handy, she offered to do video and interview, it's very important to track it to get result.
