The host is the kind of project I have never seen before and it blew me away when I got my first tour of the place. The environment is outstanding and all people connected to it are just amazing. The atmosphere is very welcoming and friendly. I felt safe and cared for. I've learned a lot during my stay as the work is very interesting and fun aswell. I got to try a lot of new things, which was awesome. I enjoyed every minute of my stay. Thank you for everything!

The host was an experience I'll never forget. Sam, Mark and Jim all made me feel welcome on my first worldpackers experience and were great hosts making sure we had everything we needed and showing me amazing sights in the french country. Working on this huge project with them has taught me skills I never knew before and i won't be forgetting them or the people. I look forward to seeing what becomes of the host in years to come and hope to get back there when I can!

I left the host about two weeks ago and miss it so much. Sam, Mark, and Jim are the kindest people I know. The work was hard but fulfilling and the food was great. The community feeling was probably the best I've ever had, and I have made some of my best friends here. Our accommodations were not luxuries but they were comfortable. They were quite primitive and need some major updating and cleaning but it was all good. I would highly recommend the host to any type of traveller. It is genuinely an amazing experience I will never forget, and I will absolutely come back again.

Volunteering at the host was an amazing experience. I stayed for three weeks and time flew by. Sam, Mark and Jim are very kind and welcoming and care deeply about the project. The work is interesting and I learned a lot. Being with the other volunteers was also so much fun, I already miss everyone! Some of the highlights are the friendly atmosphere and delicious food. I hope I can return someday.

My experience in the host was unforgettable! Sam, Mark and Jim were very attentive to all volunteers, we had a nice simple accommodation, kitchen with all necessary food, they took us for a small trip to the town nearby on the weekend. Lunches that Mark cooked were incredible! I learned a lot about the project, it's actually very impressive, I'm happy to be a part of it. The work was hard sometimes, but most of the time we had a lot of fun doing the masonry - it's a great team work. I'm happy I chose this place to volunteer, I met a lot of incredible people there! Thank you a lot.

My stay was absolutely great, so much so that I am actually still here while writing this review, I decided rather quickly after arriving to extend my stay for an additional 2 weeks. Sam and the rest of the permanent staff is very friendly and welcoming. Great lunch almost every day made ready, and a lot of options to make yourself breakfast and dinner. I'm the weekends I was pleased to find that Sam tries to arrange trips and stuff for the volunteers to experience, so that you also see the area and the local culture. The nature surrounding is very beautiful and ideal for some nice hikes

One of the best experiences of my life. I learned so much from Sam and Jim, and you can tell they care deeply about their volunteers and are willing to do anything to make them feel comfortable and safe. The work isn't too hard and theres always good food afterwards. Mark's cooking is phenomenal! They do many activities with their volunteers and I never felt bored. The surrounding nature is beautiful and theres plenty of time for yourself to do whatever. the host will always have a special place in my heart. I will definitely return someday!

Sam, Jim, and Mark were extremely welcoming, patient, and supportive with all the volunteers. They give you leverage to decide on what part of the job feels most comfortable to you and where you could provide most help. The accommodation is not a 5 star hotel, but you have everything you need: cantina with food supplies and internet, comfortable shared dorm with bathroom, and closed shower just outside the cantina. Plus Mark's cooking really is quite good. I felt super at home here at the host and am very grateful to have had such a wonderful first volunteer opportunity.

My time at the host has allowed me to get back to the basics with nature, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Everyone here is very welcoming, and I felt very included from the start. This place is excellent for learning new skills and meeting new friends, an experience I would recommend and will never forget. Thank you to all at the host Team.
