We've had an incredible time here. The 3 weeks we stayed there flew by. We helped in the kitchen and we also did some outdoor jobs for Fridus. It's amazing to be part of the flow/the team on busy restaurant days. The restaurant is also a very cosy place to sit and hang out. Cannot recommend this more :)) We'll miss Roswitha, Fridus, the other volunteers and the dogs and cats <3

I stayed four weeks with Fridus and Roswitha and they made me feel at home. I slept in a caravan nearby their house in which other volunteers stayed too. The food we were given was always amazing and our work would only get exhausting on the weekends or on special events, which was Easter during my stay in Tolvsbo. But Roswitha was always understanding and would give room for breaks in between those few long days we had. All in all, my stay in Tolvsbo was great, I got to learn a lot and would recommend it, if you want to learn more about the work in a professional kitchen and work outside :)

I had an amazing time in Tolvsbo. The restaurant was closed but there was stil enough to do. Fridus and Roswitha were so kind and really made me feel at home at theire place. One of my favorite things to do was walk the dogs (they were so sweet) in the beautifull serroundings.

We came to this place in couple, it was our second experience. Our planning was great and Fridus and Roswhita were very flexible. We got the time to install befor start working. The organisation was good and respected. The dinner together the evening were very nice. Fridus and Roswhita are careful and symphatic. We felt like home in their place. It was a real pleasure to give them some help in this so authentic place. Thank very much.

A great experience! Fridus&Roswitha are incredibly kind people. They do so much more than welcoming volunteers and it was inspiring meeting them. The work (in the kitchen) was a bit more tiring than expected since it was Christmas season, so we would work most days more than 5h/day. However, the great vibe we had in the team made everything easier and enjoyable. The restaurant and the house where we sleep are very cosy. The nature is breathtaking and there's a lot to explore. I am very grateful for everything I learned with all the amazing people I met. It felt like a family since day one!

I hace stayed for 4 Weeks. I went with my couple. I recommend you by couple.The restaurant is on the middle of nothing, the surroundings are very beautiful, the lake, trees. I applied for chopping wood,stay with dogs. But almost all the work time I stayed at the kitchen, and I dont like cooking. Despite of this the experience of meeting new people of all around the world was amazing. Roswitha And Fridus are good people and respect the schedule of work hours. There were not any free tour, the only thing that you can do to visit some village is to take the bycicles that they lend to you.

It was my first experience in Worldpackers and it's been great! The place is so beautiful, it's situated in the middle of the forest and that's amazing! There's a lot of nature, lakes, animals… And the restaurant and house are so cozy, I had my own room. I worked 5 days 5 hours as it's indicated here. And the food was sooo good. It was great to meet new people from other countries and to spend time all together! Moreover Roswitha and Fridus are so nice! They helped me a lot. I'd recommend that place to everyone! :)

This was my first time travelling alone and volunteering and it was absolutely wonderful! I had so much fun working in the kitchen, Roswitha was always very patient with me and I learned a lot from both her and Fridus. I also really enjoyed that we always spent the evenings together and I made some good friends during my time here :) Tolvsbo and its surroundings are so beautiful and it is a really nice place to enjoy the Swedish nature. The three weeks that I spent here went by way too fast and I couldn't have had a better experience! Thank you so much for everything <3

Fridus and Roswitha were my first hosts and I couldn't ask for more on this experience. I applied for gardening and I ended up being in the kitchen and with the hosts... but what an amazing experience! I really learned a lot of everything, and even I made a lot of mistakes, they never lost the faith in me. Thanks for being so pacient (specially you Roswitha) and kind to me, I felt even better than at home. Thanks as well to all the volunteers who I shared time and card games with, and to all the people I met on Tolbsvo. I will definetly recommend this place to everybody! Kind regards!💕
