I had an amazing time!!! Everyone was so welcoming and kind, made me feel at home. I've learned so so much and it inspired me to go vegan. I feel so much more confident now about my cooking skills. Also the location is awesome, it's easy to go to other cities in your days off. I would love to come back!!!!

I had a great time at the school! People are welcoming and you learn a lot! I would recommend it to those who like cooking and experimenting, as well as working in a team. Accommodation is okay, the place is in a nice area, good place to meet new people from all over the world! Tasks are mostly easy, and you'll always get help when needed. Sometimes a bit tiring but I would do it again. Thx!

It was really cool and challenging to work at the school. I believe I have fulfilled my purpose of unlocking my English and knowing a little about Belgium and Antwerp, which is an incredible city. The work can be heavy, I even worked about 11 hours in a single day, there are 6 shifts of approximately 5 hours, being able to work two shifts in a day, totaling 30 hours or more. The accommodation is comfortable and I stayed in a room alone almost the whole month. It was my first experience with voluntary exchange and with work in the kitchen and I recommend this experience.

My stay in Antwerp was my first volunteering experience and I am happy that I chose the school for it. I stayed for 8 weeks and met a lot of very nice people! I also learned a lot about vegan cooking and now know ingredients and meals which I haven't even heard of before volunteering. The location of the BnB is very central and close to a tram station, which is practical. The work is sometimes a bit stressful (when there are many guests) but in general easy and fun. Chala, Ruth and Alistair are extremely welcoming and friendly and I am very happy that I got to know them. :)

It was a very nice experience. Antwerp is a big city and the restaurant has a great location. The accommodation is great and as a couple, we had a room for ourselves. The chefs are super friendly and welcoming. The work varies between helping with the menu, waiting tables, cleaning the restaurant and doing laundry (bed linen for the B&B). As it is a restaurant, the working hours depend on how busy it is, we had 5/6 shifts of +/- 5/6 hours per week. They were flexible on days off and always open to conversation. Overall it is a experience I recommend for those who enjoy restaurant routine 😊

My expectations were high but unfortunately they werent met and we left earlier than planned. Positive points: people were nice and welcoming. Specially Chala who is a great professional and kind person. Restaurant is well equiped and the ambient is beautiful. Bedroom was ok. Negative points: the aparent lack of care: it needed fumigation, deep cleaning and fixing stuff. There were problems for months, including rats, but we didnt see much effort from the hosts on fixing things. The lack of proper hygiene was very upseting as it is a kitchen. Anyways we wish them the best, they are good people

I had a great time working in the school. The work was easy and the place is really chill. I was told beforehand that some shifts would longer than others, depending on how busy the restaurant is. I had a but of an issue my last week, because it was really busy and I worked quite a few hours over thirty and when I mentioned it to the manager I wasn't met with a lot of understanding. But we made it work in the end. Other than that it was a nice experience. I met some lovely people working there, the chefs are all really nice and it makes for a chill workplace.
