The Experience

Daily life at Provstegården B&B is about creating a good experience for our guests. Our beautiful old garden needs to be cared for and kept according to the season.

I spent a month and a half at Provstegaarden and had an amazing time. It was my first experience with Worldpackers and my expectations were exceeded. Helene is a warm person and did everything she could to make my stay as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. The work is not too difficult and easy to manage. Everything was explained well and Helene was very understanding and accommodating throughout my stay. It is the perfect place to unwind. I am very grateful for my time there and everything I learned.

My stay at the guest house BnB was amazing. Helene is a truly kind person. She does so much in order to make you feel comfortable and to help you getting the experience you are expecting. The work hours were flexible whenever it was possible to arrange and the work was light and fun. The host always explained the tasks and expectations thoroughly. It's a great place away from the city.

I spent a month and a half at Helene's, and it was the best experience I've ever had. Since I went during the low season, the work wasn't too heavy, but there was still plenty to do to keep from getting bored. If you love nature and walks, this place is fantastic, and you'll have lots of free time to explore the nearby Danish towns, which are wonderful gems. Thank you so much for making me feel at home! ✨✨

The best volunteer experience I have ever had, in every aspect. Helene is an incredible host, with a big heart, kind, fair and very caring. The working hours were respected, she gave me time off, she never let me lack anything, even gave me more than I expected. She was super understanding, prepared typical Danish food and took me on walks. The accommodation was super comfortable. I helped out more with housekeeping and gardening. Helene, I can only thank you for the experience you gave me. I wish you the best 😊
