In general, a nice experience in an incredible country, you feel like travelling with guests coming from all over the world and the location of the house is perfect to have both nature and city. I met really kind people, both guests and colleagues :) However, it's a lot a lot of work and due to the period (Christmas) there was no proper rhythm. Also, there is a lack of organization and communication which creates complicated situations because in Iceland you are just with the other intern on site.

Its was an amazing experience! I had a great time in Iceland🙌 the owner keeps his team close and communication is his key. I am very grateful for the trust he (and all the team) gave me, what I learned and what I contributed. I wish come back!!

I enjoyed my stay here in BlueHouse, the work required more times than usual but I don't think it was a too hard task, for what Zeno is offering is really fair. I m very grateful for the chance to be here and surely will recommend to stay here. The house is welcoming and well equipped, with nice quiet neighborhood.

I am so grateful that I got the chance to visit Iceland as my first Worldpackers experience. Seltjarnarnes is truly an amazing place; there is plenty of wonderful walking spots, lovely views of sunrises, sunsets and the northern lights, moreover, Reykjavik is easily reachable by the public bus in only 15 minutes. During my stay I learned a lot, not only related to the daily tasks around the house, but also about myself and environment. It was so hard to leave at the end. I dare to say that the guest house was my home for a month and I would for sure return if there is a chance :)

Being in the guest house was an amazing experience, totally recommended. Once you get here, you become instantly an active part of the team. The tasks are well explained and the people here are very welcoming. You get the chance to take part in a variety of activities in the house and you also have time to explore. It was an awesome learning opportunity, combined with beautiful Auroras dancing in the sky over the guest house.
