My time in the guest house was amazing! The tasks were easy and the other intern (Roza) was a great teammate. Aneta and Virna were awesome supervisors and we talked every day with them about the work and also about our day in general. They gave you freedom to make yourself feel at home as long as you were responsible. I had to leave a bit earlier for a job opportunity, but Zeno and the team were super understanding and supportive. In winter time you had auroras just in the backyard every week! 10/10, would recommend and would love to come back

I loved working at the guest house. The location is great with the sea and mountains visible from the house. Central Reykjavik is just a short bus journey away. The work days can be long and the supervisors are not on site, so communication can be difficult at time. But I'd definitely recommend this experience for anyone looking to connect with people around the world and experience Iceland like a local.

Volunteering at Blues House was very enjoyable overall, and I recommend it to people with a good heart and good intentions. Thank you for everything, Zeno and Virna. I hope to return to this incredible country someday.

I had an amazing volunteering experience! It was not always easy because work in hospitality is challenging, but I learned a lot and had a lot of responsibility which I liked! This volunteering is for people who love to serve other people and help the project grow, who love to communicate, organize and manage! And also who love to learn how it is to host guests in a the guest house in Iceland! Thank you Zeno and Virna for making my stay very special 💚

Una experiencia única estar en Islandia. La estadía, habitación, comida fue excelente, la casa es pequeña pero tiene todo lo necesario. Distancia caminable del centro de Reykjavik y los tour valen la pena. Karina lejos la mejor compañera, desde el momento que llegué me acogió y me ayudó en todo lo necesario. El trabajo es de 40h, y lamentablemente el manejo del lugar mal, hay solo volunatios e internos, todo lo manejan online, no hay claridad de que tienes que hacer y el acuerdo inicial se cambió y tuve que trabajar fuera de horario. Es un fulltime seguro. Si no pides los tours no te los dan.

The guest house in Iceland was my first volunteering experience and I'm very happy that I chose it and that they chose me. As for the work, it was nothing difficult or complicated for me, all I did was normal daily activities, but I also learned new things, like baking bread and different cakes. I met only good and kind people here, without whom my experience would not have been so rich. thank you for this opportunity.

I am very grateful for my stay at the guest house. I gained a lot of experience in how a small guesthouse works. The workload is almost full time but manageable. Stunning sunsets and northern lights just outside the house were a great reward. The house is in a perfect spot just outside the city. The accommodation is nice, there is a lot of food and all you may need in a house. I really recommend this work exchange if you want to learn new skills and explore this amazing country on your days off.

Overall a very good experience to discover Iceland. I improved my English and met travelers from other countries. You actually work 40 hours a week (8 hours a day), and the work is somewhat varied such as painting, electricity, plumbing, etc. Communication is another aspect to improve. If you want to discover Iceland it is a very good opportunity, but be prepared to work

I had such a nice stay at the guest house. It was my first esperience and I was very luck to meet such a welcoming team. I did housekeeping and gardening. It's a lot of work but I think it's fair for what Zeno offers. You have to consider that from Reykjavík you can't visit all Iceland but just the nearest attractions as the South coast. Also you have to like staying in a quiet place and in contant with nature ( the guest house it's 15 minutes away from Reykjavík with the bus and 30/40 minutes by walk).
