Monica and Mario are very kind, friendly and always helpful. The experience has met all the expectations and Monica and Mario respected everything they had written on their profile about the accommodation, the “job” and the island! We were also able to create a really good relationship as they are easy going and fun. I highly recommend!!!!!

This experience was fantastic! Mario and Monica are great hosts and have always respected all the agreements. The tasks are always different and acquiring new skills is a daily thing. You never get bored! Skrova is a wonderful island, it allows you to immerse yourself in nature and find contact with it again.

This was truely a once in a lifetime experience. From meeting locals in the host to late night aurora watching. This volunteering gig truely felt special. Would definitely recommend volunteering here for the full arctic circle experience.

Our time at Nøtnes and Heimbrygga was an absolute dream. Despite the challenges of little daylight in Nov/Dec, Mario and Monica made sure we were well cared for, from stocking us with food and vitamins to taking us sightseeing around the island. The work was varied but rewarding—housekeeping at Nøtnes was manageable, and the host shifts (waitering, table bussing, dishes, and cleaning) were long and late but completely worth it- Mario's food is incredible, and the diners are friendly locals. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

The accommodation is an EXTREMELY dirty warehouse full of dust and it is VERY cold because some doors are broken and they don't close, they stay partially open. the outside air always comes in. some rooms have heathers so they're hot, mine was VERY cold and I had severe problems with these things. (the dust and the dirtiness and the cold). some windows are not well fixed so they can't close well and the air comes in from there too. I am a little allergic to dust and had breathing and skin problems.

We have received many volunteers during the last 2 years and it has been a fantastic experience... We did have a few exceptions, one of them is Alice.
We dont feel confortable to writte bad reviews publicaly, but keep in mind this is a very unstable person. If other hosts wants references can, contact us privately.

I had the best time volunteering here. I met many amazing people and Skrova is beautiful. I would 100% recommend to others. The schedule was extremely flexible which was great if you had plans or wanted to visit somewhere. The accommodation provided was ok for a month but I wouldn't want to live there for any longer. Overall, I had a great time, met amazing people and loved the Lofoten Islands.

I had an amazing time in Skrova! :) The island is located in Lofoten, a unique place with a rich history, culture, and natural beauty. The landscapes are simply breathtaking. As for the work, all tasks are simple and suitable for volunteers, and the working hours are always respected. Monica and Mario are very sweet people, and it was a pleasure to help them with their facilities. I just wish they could be more present outside of duty time; that would make the experience more immersive. Tip: Pay attention to the music playing in the host. Monica has great musical taste! :)

Dear João, it was such a pleasure to meet you ;)
Thank you so much for all your help and for your nice words. We would love to have spend more that with you, mainly since we have so many things in common, included the music taste... ;) Summer is your holidays time, but is the busier time of the year for us... Come visit us in winter, so we can hang out more!! All the best for your travels!

I spent amazing 5 weeks in Skrova. I fell in love with Lototen nature and met so many lovely charming people. We had so much fun with other volunteers during our free time on hikes and exploring Lofoten. Monica and Mario took us for a boat trip and to sauna, which was very nice. Accomodation was fine. And tasks wasn't so hard, however for someone who didn't work in a the host it could be a bit strange. My experience was 11/10 but I can't give five stars because Monica was more like our boss than host, which made my experience less enjoyable. However Thank you so much, I would recomend it. 🥰

Hei Lucy,
Thanks for your help! It's important to read the full profile, so there is no unmatched expectations. Summer is holiday time for most of our volunteers, but it's the busiest time of the year for us... Hope the free boat trips and sauna experience made up for our lack of time! ;) Happy travels!
