I can just add my voice to the choir of previous volunteers praising the top rank hospitality of these hosts. All the people entering their yard, regardless the purpose and the time of their visit are showered with kindness, attention, stories from the past and present history of the farm and gourmand meals sprinkled with local wines and… read more

Alexandru was a great help in the hostel. Couldn't ask for more. Trustworthy, very well organized and honest. I appreciate his approach to every detail of the work, all done with high responsibility. He was keeping the hostel always so clean and neat, that I couldn't wish for more. Highly highly recommended!
Thank you again Alexandru for all your… read more

Nina is one of the kindest host a volunteer can expect to meet and helping her for only 3 hours a day to keep the hostel neat and clean gave me plenty of time to discover thoroughly the fascinating city of Tbilisi and its surroundings.

Alex is a very organised and trustworthy person. From the very beginning he wanted to know exactly what needs to be done and consequently fulfilled all his duties. He's also a kind, cultural and easy-going person. If you need things to be done, definitely you should take him as a volunteer! The cooks and other volunteers just loved him, as well as… read more

This is a very interesting place.

Alex is definitely a rare and special person. A diligent and enthusiastic man at high levels who enthusiastically embraced every step and always wanted to help. Cleanliness and order with him is a value. A dedicated and precise volunteer. I was very happy to host Alex on our farm. The quiet and calmness he brings with him to the house inspires… read more

This is a unique place and I will try to explain in the followings why I consider it not to be like other regular volunteering experiences. It is a joint effort of three wonderful people: Amir and Gal, who run the organic farm, and Yohi, who turned his home into a volunteers guesthouse. There is a 20-30 minutes driving distance between the… read more

Alex and Nele really helped us out with heavy duty spring cleaning at home & in the garden - couldn't manage without them to do everything! They are serious and hard workers as well as pleasant and interesting people to be around. We enjoyed their stay and Nele is a fantastic cook -WoW!- Good luck Alex and Nele!

The two weeks we spent with Alain and Yael proved to be the best introduction to the Jewish culture one can hope for. They are very kind and hospitable people, the room was a small Paradise and the artists colony of Ein Hod is literally an open air museum populated with affable and lively people always ready for a chat and a smile. The proximity… read more

Alex has been staying with us for about 3 weeks now with a break in between to do house and dog sitting for a friend of ours. He is a very easy and considerate guest, neat about his person and helpful in any way that he can, whether it’s helping to peel vegetables and washing dishes or giving an extra hand on the weekend when one is working to a… read more

Alex came to land and dog sit for a week while i was away and was absolutely fantastic. The perfect responsible and conscientious guardian of the place and companion for Zuki.

What can one say about a unique, interesting host, well read and with strong opinions that lead to animated conversations? Which lives in fairy-tale hobbit houses in a village sheltered between green hills covered with carob and blossoming almond trees (in winter!) Which has also a lovely dog pet, the perfect companion for long strolls on the… read more
