I was greeted with tea and a big smile!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Johnson's. The work was pleasant, the surroundings were lovely (trees and a garden all around the house!), and being halfway between the beach and the town center, I was able to walk around at my leisure. The meals were delicious and plentiful 😋.
Johnson is a wonderful person with strong values; his love for animals is heartwarming, as is his generosity.

Thank you!

I had a great time at Johnson’s place. He’s super friendly, explained everything clearly, and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. The work was just as described, and the food was amazing—homemade and healthy. I also got to learn about the local area and culture, which made the experience even better. Totally recommend it!

I didn't have a pleasant experience, the room that he gave me wasn't appropriate, next day he switched me to another room, it was a lot better, but a rat was in the washroom almost every night. The host and his wife didn't socialize with me, he asked me to left before. I was cleaning a very dirty washroom with an acid that he gave me to clean, and I was sweating cleaning with that toxicity, no protection and warm. He went and told me to do it quick. I replied angry "can you see me how I am, I can't do it quickly" and he said that he didn't mean it, at the end i said sorry to yelling and left.

The first bad experience with a worldpacker volunteer . There was an underlying bad vibe around her from the moment she walked in. She is divorced, unhappy, has anger issues and is overweight. I would even say that she is a threat to others and herself.

The experience was mindblowing. Johnson was an excellent host; the place was beautiful, with a big garden. He explained the tasks that needed to be done and gave me the time to do them. He is an honest, open-minded guy and expects the people coming there to be the same. He frequently asked me if I had any issues with the food and accommodation. He even took me on a small tour along the backwaters. The food offered here was delicious,they offer good local food. Johnson respects the work hours and abides by them.He is very particular about the quality of my work, which enabled me to learn a lot.

Staying with Johnson homestay was an excellent experience. The host is friendly and helpful. We requested for a little comfortable room and he immediately arranged a room for us. The work is easy and exact same as mentioned in the description. They cooked a homely and tasty food for us. I would definitely recommend this experience.
