This was my first volunteer experience so I was kinda nervous/excited about it! When I first came to the guest house I felt very welcome, Hugh is a kind and hardworking guy trying to improve his business every day, a very caring boss! The tasks are very easy to learn but if you don't have experience it might feel a little hard, but I personally think it was very easygoing and we had plenty of free time and flexibility. About the accommodation I stayed in the basement, with three more people, the space is big and it has a lot of potential, I'll definitely come back in my next visit, it was incredible!

I had a great stay at the guest house! The accommodation was comfortable and clean, and the food they provide was okay: ramen,bread, nutella, rice. They also have laundry and a dryer, which was super convenient. The host is kind and helpful, and the volunteers were all so nice — they really made the experience better. The location is okay, not the best, but still manageable. Overall, I had a great time and definitely recommend staying here!

The guest house was my first Worldpackers experience, and overall it was really good! Hugh is such a sweet person. He was always quick to answer and very welcoming. His wife was also super sweet. The work was easy to learn and generally simple, though sometimes the amount of work felt a bit uneven depending on check-out days. Still, it was all manageable and fair overall. I met such lovely people during my stay, and that made the experience even more special. 🥹 The guesthouse has a cozy, friendly vibe. I recommend!
