My stay at the hostel was wonderful! There is nothing to complain about, the work is super chilled and I really enjoyed working together in a team with the other volunteers. Also the private cabins that you share as volunteers are super cozy and the facilities in general very nice to just spend the day around. We had so many fun nights together and with the hostel guests, that it's not a problem that the town itself is quite calm :) Thank you so much to Mathilde and Vanessa for always making sure that I'm feeling good and for being so welcoming!

Lovely place, lovely people! Volunteering here has been one of my best experiences. Everyone was so kind and fun. The staff area could be improved a bit, but everything else was really great.
