I stayed with this family for 12 days and wish I had stayed longer! I became part of the family and had a great time. I played sports, fun games and watched really fun movies (Fire Saga was my favorite). During my stay I felt really welcome, there was no pressure and I could do whatever I wanted. The English classes together with Aleksandra were… read more

If you are looking for an enthusiastic, open-minded, interesting and always ready-to-help person, Ben is your guy. While staying with us, Ben did some gardening, took part in English classes and was very helpful with daily stuff, including driving.

What an amazing experience at this place! I worked in the garden for 10 days and I was fortunate that the weather was beautiful with a great view of the mountains. Peter was an excellent host, he gave clear instructions on what needed to be done, made lots of jokes and cooked fantastic dinners (and lots of them!). I really enjoyed this working… read more

Ben was here and left plenty of traces. First of all, he was a strong and hard working young man, exactly what we needed for the various construction and garden works to be done. Communication with Ben was very easy. He is interested in many things, knows a lot and walks with open eyes through this world. And he is a healthy eater... )))

Ben has been staying for about 10 days at our place. We had a very good experience with him. A hardworking, polite and social guy. He is pleasant to work with. But it also would't be a problem to leave him alone with a task and some tools, he will do the job on his own! Another review wrote that he became a party animal. Hence, there were no… read more

What a great experience with Mathieu and Els! I sent them an email at the last minute asking if they would take me in and they immediately accepted. I helped Mathieu in the garden with some work, I really enjoyed it because we had beautiful weather and a great view of the mountains. Els is a princess in the kitchen, she cooked fantastic meals and… read more

It was a pleasure to work with Ian in many different ways. He knows a lot about building/renovating a house, if not everything. He could probably build a whole palace on his own if he wanted to. I learned a lot from him on this subject and it will definitely come in handy in the future. He also gave me tips on what to see or do in Slovenia. It was… read more

Ben started shy, quiet, and suddenly became a PARTY BEAST! Wow, what a great guy and great volunteer! He has many different abilities (including plumbing and beer bonging) and knows how to create atmosphere.
Thanks again and feel free to always come back to our crazy family ;D

This hostel gave me more than I could have ever expected. I entered the hostel with the idea of staying there for 2, maybe 3 weeks. Those weeks turned into 2 months and still it was hard to leave this place. The people made me feel so welcome, I enjoyed every second I spent there. Those people became friends and those friends became family. I will… read more
