Michele is a very sweet person and I loved the time I spent there. The work is not hard to do and she really follows the working hours according to the platform. She is also very flexible about that. I definitely recommend her place. I will miss Michele, Lucy, Tiby and Zoe (her animals) and the small village she lives in.

I had a nice time at the home. During my stay, I had the chance to practice English with Michele and French with guests and locals. The city is very beautiful, and exploring nearby towns by bike, provided by Michele, and visiting larger cities by bus enriched my experience. The wi-fi is great, allowing me to work online during my time off. Michele was kind and appreciated my hard work, which made my stay more enjoyable.

Michele is a lovely person and the area is nice. However I didn't feel comfortable in the environment and chose to leave the experience early.

My time with Michele was such a wonderful experience, I decided to stay an extra week! From the moment I got there I was welcomed and looked after and I am so grateful to say I now have a home away from home ❤️ Michele was very flexible with hours and tasks. None of the work was too difficult, everything was well explained. Thank you Michele for your kindness, our wonderful discussions, good company (including your human and furry friends), delicious food and a wonderful two weeks. I miss you all already and I'll be back ❤️

My time with Michele at the home has been absolutely amazing! It was truly a life-changing experience. My plan was to stay for 7 days, and I ended up staying for over a month, so I highly recommend it! There was honestly not one thing I would've changed about my stay with Michele and her three cuties (Luce, Tibbs, and Zo <3). The room was very nice! The work was not difficult (thoroughly explained), and I had more than enough time to explore the local towns and meet lots of new people! We had a lot of fun together! Thank you for everything, Michele<3. I'll be back!

Michele was a delight to be around, she runs a very beautiful BnB and the place is a dream! The surrounding village and nature trails gave me a lot to explore on my off time and the work was easy to understand with easy hours. Michele and her three sweet pets are gracious hosts and I got to experience local culture

Thank you, Avi! I hope you had a wonderful tour in Europe with your sister and that you are safe where you are. I am sorry that I was too late to write a review for you, as I was travelling and did not realise I only had 2 weeks in which to do it.

My stay with Michelle was great and I'll always remember it. The village is really cute, you have the river close and easy access to all the other villages or even Montpellier and the beach. Michele was really thoughtful about my vegetarian diet. Thank you for everything 🫶🏻

I would really recommend my homestay in Poujol sur orb. It's a very peaceful village in the middle of a national park. The host, Michele is a lovely woman with 2 lovely cats and an adorable dog. I mostly did painting and house cleaning while I was there. After my work I took her bike and and visited the mountains close by. There is a bike trail that connects all the small villages in the area so everything is easy to access. There is also a bus that can take you to and from Montpellier. If you love being independent, and enjoy biking, hiking and rock climbing then you'll love it at the home

I had the most wonderful stay with Michelle in Le Poujol-sur-Orb! I felt immediately welcome and it took no time at all before this place felt like home. Le Poujol-sur-Orb is a peaceful and slightly remote location that I recommend for anyone who is independent, who loves animals (cuddly cat likes to share the bed), and who is looking for a quiet volunteer experience near various hiking and biking trails. Buses are not the most frequent so trips to the city are better left for the weekends. Thank you so much Michelle! I would return in a heartbeat :)
