What an incredible experience the host! Monica and Mario were so kind, generous and welcoming; and made our time with them so great! We were fully immersed in the community of Skrova, and learnt so much about their way of life. Work was flexible and enjoyable; with tasks including setting up Christmas decorations (which we loved!), helping in the host and doing general cleaning/tidying. Hours of work were decided together and always very fair; and we always felt appreciated for our time and work. Monica and Mario have created an incredible volunteering opportunity! Thankyou xx

A wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone! Monica and Mario are sooo kind and generous, and they have lots of experience traveling and hosting volunteers. Skrova is STUNNING and so peaceful. It's also possible to take trips to other parts of Lofoten on your days off. The work itself is simple, hours are well respected, and you're given a lot of trust and autonomy to complete tasks. I'm very grateful that I was able to be a part of the team the host this summer. I would love to come back and visit again soon! ☀️

Staying at the host & the host was truly an unforgettable experience. From the very first day, Monica and Mario made me feel at home with their kindness and generosity. The work is simple, fair, and hours are respected, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the island. Skrova is breathtaking: small, peaceful, and full of activities like hiking, swimming, biking, camping, sauna, and beach days. The accommodation is spacious, there's always food, and bikes are provided. I came planning to stay less but ended up wishing I could stay much longer. Thank you for everything!
