It was an incredible experience. Liz is an excellent host who opens her doors to you and teaches you many things. I'm very grateful to have volunteered there; I'd love to do it again in the future

My time with Liz was amazing! The work is mainly cleaning apartments but not hard work & not everyday. Other days we worked in the garden (picking, weeding) or cooking. We had so many days off to explore the mountains! It's only fair to mention there is a possibility of sleeping in the shed outside, the dorm is located in the cellar and the toilet/shower can only be reached when going outside first and this is in a shared space with washing machines/fridge/sink/storage& kitchen is outside, which was somewhat unpleasant. Overall I had the best time ever and Liz makes you feel at home!

My time working for Liz was truly unforgettable. Her home is located in the most beautiful location in the alps, and she truly welcomes you into it. She also provides you with all of the information you need to make the most of your stay. I learned so much about sustainable living, housekeeping, cooking, and gardening, while having an amazing time with Liz and the other volunteers. She really creates a family during your stay, and I feel truly lucky for my opportunity to get to know her and explore Interlaken :) thank you Liz! <3

Staying with Liz was a great experience for me! the location amazing with tons to explore locally and its well connected by trains and buses if you want to explore further. I've learned a lot with Liz and got to know her very well :) The work is not too hard and can only get tricky when drying laundry on rainy days haha Liz really welcomes you into her life and wants to share experiences with you, she is very involved in the work and hanging out with the team after! she also has a lot of great recommendations for trips in the area and wants to help you see Switzerland!

Elizabeth is such a lovely, friendly lady, from the moment I arrived she made me feel so welcome and i immediately felt her positive energy! Her home and the surrounding area is really beautiful and during my stay I felt grateful to be volunteering in such a beautiful place! When we worked together as a team we always had fun and laughs while doing the tasks, we made and ate delicious food together and socialised many times which always had us laughing hard! I'd definitely recommend this place and the host to anyone! I left there healthier both mentally and physically!!
