Help around the hotel

I was able to spend four weeks in the hostel and had a wonderful time. You get to know lots of great people who you get to work with. The working hours are absolutely fair and are usually less than the specified five hours. If we were missing anything, Sophie always took care of it straight away. There are also lots of beaches nearby, which you can easily reach on the bikes we were given here. I had a really great time here and would come back any time. Thank you for everything. :)

I absolutely loved my stay at the hostel and Hostel ! Everyone was very welcoming. I believe Sofie is a kind and generous host. She always makes herself available when needed and it is very easy to speak with her about anything (both before and during the trip). It was my first volunteering experience and I could not have wished for better, it was exactly like I expected to be. I really enjoyed going on bike rides on Öland and discovering new places around Löttorp. The work was fair (quite easy in my opinion, once you khow how to do it properly).

My experience here was so wonderful and special. Sofie and Henrik are such kind, genuine people, and they go above and beyond to make volunteers feel welcomed and well-cared for. I loved exploring the island by bike with other volunteers during my free time, which there was plenty of! The work is very easy to learn and straightforward, and the meals were delicious. I also felt very safe and comfortable living in the basement room. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to meet amazing people and make lifelong memories in Sweden. Thank you again for the lovely stay, Sofie and Henrik!

Sofie and Henrik are the sweetest people. I immediately felt at home with them. Because of this welcoming atmosphere, they and the volunteers felt like family to me. We ate, traveled and had great evenings together. Öland is beautiful with beaches for sunrises and sunsets just 15 minutes away on either side. Lilly 🐶 brightens up the place even more. The chores are easy to do and we had bikes for afternoon rides to hidden gems. I wholeheartedly recommend this place. Go and visit the beautiful surroundings and parties and connect with amazing people. I enjoyed every second! Thank you guys ♡

My time at the hostel was unforgettable! Living in peaceful little Löttorp on gave me a taste of the slow life. Sophie and Henrik were incredibly thoughtful host who made me feel safe welcomed, and included from day one. The work was fair and we often finished early, which left plenty of time to explore öland. My room was quiet and cozy, perfect place to slow down and recharge. What made this experience extra special was the shared meals and cultural exchange. All meals were included, and we got to cook dishes from our own backgrounds wow Sophie and Henrik did the same. Tack så mycket!

The hosts, Solfie and Henrik were friendly and welcoming. The work hour was respected and start time is usually flexible in the morning. My biggest issue was the volunteers' living quarters, which is either in the basement in the attic (not shown in the pictures). Both spaces were filled with spiders, and more importantly they are not fire safe. When the fire department came to do inspections, Solife told us to not tell them that we live in the basement/attic, because we "are not supposed to". The basement/attic was not comfortable nor was it very safe. It didn't even have a proper fire alarm

The hosts were warm and welcoming. The tasks are mostly independent and unless there are other volunteers there you could spend a lot of time on your own; however some evenings were spent having nice dinner with the hosts. The majority of the work is cleaning which should be advertised more clearly, i did not spend much time doing other tasks which can be repetitive. The volunteer rooms were different to what was advertised as the images show guest rooms: i found it difficult to sleep with the animal/ bird noises from the chimney.

An amazing and quiet place to enjoy nature and the beautiful beaches surrounding the island. Sofie and Henrik are amazing hosts, who spend time with you, cook and let you get to know the local culture. The tasks are simple and you have enough time to get to know Lottorp, a beautiful island where you can connect with nature and cycle to many places.

The experience was amazing. I spent two months in Löttorp and Sofie and Henrik were very nice and welcoming. The tasks were not so hard to learn and, sometimes I've even spent free time with Sofie, Henrik and our mascotte Lily 🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️. I recommend many volunteers this experience 'cause it's worth to live nature nearby and to have a previous experience if you want to work in hotels in the future.

Coming to the hostel & Hostel was one of the best decisions in my life! I felt welcomed by Sofie, Henrik and other volunteers the moment I got there. The work was not hard at all and could be done in less than 5 hours. We had the rest of the day off and could explore the island by bikes that were provided for us. If you love nature and everything that comes with it, you'll absolutely love it here! Thank you to Sofie and Henrik for being such amazing hosts <3
