My two weeks at Art Garden Madi were an incredible experience. I joined the painting school project and had the opportunity to meet many local people, learn how to make clay, and even participate in a local wedding. Madi, the host, is a truly special person—he’s funny, helpful, and made me feel so welcome. I left with many new friends and wonderful memories, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique and immersive art experience.

Thien… the only handsome and charming gentleman from Vietnam. His efforts are never made for praise — he works diligently as if it is his own personal responsibility. I truly admire his good character. There is no task he cannot handle, and he is always the one offering help to us… meeting with a smile. I am deeply moved by his noble qualities, and I have learned so much from him about the true values of life! Thank you so much, Thien. Please come again.

I had a wonderful time at Art Garden Madi! Madi truly offers a beautiful experience in the jungle. He took us to many places to get in touch with the local culture. Next to that he and the place inspired me to work on a bigger art piece that was way out of my comfort zone. I learned a lot during my stay here, about myself and about the way of living in Ulu Dong (and Malaysia). Next to that, I met some wonderful fellow volunteers during my stay with who I had amazing great time.

Good, responsible, firm, meticulous, disciplined, and sweet… that is Michelle. What I will never forget is her skill in creating the historic dining table, which has now become a proud masterpiece at ArtGardenMadi — and not only that, it has also become a memorable first for all the villagers. Michelle… there are no other words except… thank you! Please come again!

My experience was mixed. I truly appreciated the cultural exchange and the opportunity to celebrate Hari Raya with Madi and his friends. However, at times it was quite tiring and not exactly what I expected in terms of learning new things. It often felt like we were just following Madi wherever he wanted to go, without being informed in advance, and the plans changed frequently.

The jungle is absolutely amazing, and the place definitely has soul. Transportation is very limited. Be prepare for mosquitos, and check you network as connection is limited.

Artgarden Madi is a great place to learn new skills by working on a personal project and help improving the space. Madi is a knowledgeable man with years of experience and has a friendly approach with everyone. My first week was great and ignited again my passion for drawing and creative thinking. However, due to the Hari Raya festivities on my second week, the time for activities dropped significantly, so it could have been a much better experience personally.The atmosphere is great for connecting with your inner self, but not many places to go around Ensure you internet connection beforehand

Madi is an amazing host! He is always smiling, full of ideas, and has incredible knowledge. I had a fantastic two weeks and highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to escape from a big city. You can expect to do things like working with bamboo, drawing, meeting locals, and exploring the area. I highly recommend this place and would love to visit again. Greetings to you and the whole team! 😁

Blazej is a good, trustworthy, and responsible person in any task given. He makes an effort to understand each task before executing it to ensure better results. His willingness to learn and take the initiative in completing tasks is excellent for any host. For other hosts, I recommend him as someone who requires minimal supervision and carries out his work efficiently.
