The volunteering was excellent, the facilities are comfortable and extremely clean, all the staff are very friendly and cooperative, the schedules are respected and established in advance, the tasks are supervised and there is a lot of feedback between the staff and each volunteer, the villa is small, but cosy, and the train station makes it very easy and relatively cheap to get to know other larger nearby towns. Hats off to the volunteers, the cleaning staff and the managers. Hope to see you soon!

Stayed for 1 month helping with social media. I shared a nice hotel room but also had to move every weekend to a house in a different town. Wasn't bad though and I understand the purpose of the hotel is to make money so keeping me in a room that they could rent would directly impinge that. Everyone was nice - mostly interacted with the staff at the hotel but Matthew and David (the owners) were cordial when I talked to them. Breakfast was supplied and though I did find the £35 weekly meal budget a bit low they were fine if I went a dollar or two over. Hope to return some day!

Everyone of that the hotel is so kind and welcoming! I was only able to stay for a week of my intended stay due to personal reasons, but the hours agreed upon are respected and Brockenhurst is a lovely place. One thing to note, during the winter months there are only a few volunteers at the hotel, so it can be a somewhat quiet work exchange. Be prepared for some older facilities, but everything works and you are allowed to use the professional kitchen to cook your own meals. I'd suggest this experience if you are looking for a place where you are surrounded by nature!

Thanks, Sophie, for your kind comments. We were sorry that you decided that we were not the right place for you as you wanted be in a city hostel with many other volunteers, but we do hope you found a suitable host in London and wish you safe travels.

This was my first volunteering experience and the hotel team made it easy! everyone was helpful and patient in helping. I would definitely come back, my friend and I stayed together in the same room, and we had the kitchen free to cook after 20 pm, chores were smooth and Matthew was super attentive.

My time in the hotel was incredible, the experience was unforgettable. All the staff made me feel at home, I never gonna forget the lovely people that I met. This was my first volunteer and I highly recommend the experience, with the passage of the days I was able to learn a lot about the work and thus help the hotel. Brockenhurst it's a charming village and it's really easy travel around the south of England by bike, I'm so grateful to all the staff and Matthew for the great opportunity. I really wish see those people and that place again.

I had an incredible time in the hotel, the staff are very welcoming and make me feel comfortable, the tasks are easy and well explain by the staff, we can use the hotel kitchen after 8 and is very well equipped, the room was nice. The hotel is surrounded by a lovely forest with donkeys, ponies and horses, there is a lot of nice towns and villages with beaches near by that I recommend to visit, I have improved my English and acquired new valuable experience. I highly recommend this place and I'm so grateful to all the staff and Matthew and David for the great opportunity.

My experience at the hotel was very positive, being my first volunteer, I believe I learned new skills in hospitality. The people were very kind, the host Matthew is polite and respects the volunteers. The managers and staff are also very nice. Brockenhust is a safe city with many natural beauties. You can take the train to visit several nearby cities, including going to the beach. I would definitely recommend the hotel for volunteering. You will be respected and given the opportunity to improve your English.

I had a such good time at the hotel. All the staff were very patience teaching me how to do the work. The job is easy btw, somedays are busy but you can definitely handle it. Also I have no doubt you're gonna make some friends there and if you like to be in contact with the nature this is the right place (take a ride by bike to the forest). Thank you Matthew for this opportunity and Huw and all the staff and volunteers team for supporting me at my time at the hotel. For sure I would recommend this experience!

Great time at the Hotel. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, especially the manager Huw, who's always kind, patient, and ready to teach us. The tasks are easy and pretty much housekeeping or basic things in the kitchen. It's a good place to improve your English if you're really engaged in that. The city is small and peaceful, and you can explore nature and other cities nearby by train easily. The station is very close to the hotel. It was a very valuable experience for me! Thanks Matthew, the hotel staff, and the Worldpackers volunteers who were there with me!
