First volunteering experience and it was great. Valérie was super nice and supportive, everyday she texted us with the daily tasks (light work) which lasted between 3-4 hrs. the hostel is a very beautiful town with nature all around, the house is located within 10mins of most places in the hostel. During low season the dorm is very calm and lonely, when high season start the dorm is always full. I will forever remember my stay with Valérie!

Valerie is an amazing host. First of all, she accepted my application instantly. 🤭 She is very kind, polite and treated me with respect. the hostel is simply beautiful. For those who like the sea and hiking, it is perfect. The property is small. If you are the kind of handy person who knows how to da little bit of everything and add something different to the property other than just cleaning, you will be welcome. There is only room for one volunteer. I hand-sewed curtains for the bunk beds myself. Now you will have privacy in bed. 🤭

I was very well received by Valerie and her family. Valerie is very kind and polite. She was one of the nicest hosts I have ever met. My time in the hostel was very good, but as I went in winter it ended up being a little lonely, as I was the only volunteer there. But with the time off I managed to visit Marseille, which is a beautiful neighboring city. Working hours were respected and time off was also respected and the work was not heavy. The tasks are basically to maintain the cleanliness of the apartments upstairs and the hostel in general.

Let's get straight to the point. The work load is light, which gives you lots of free time to enjoy the surroundings. The city, the hikes and the beaches are stunning. Valérie is sweet and fun to work with. However, she was rarely there. I've only seen her 5 days out of the month I spent there. She would also take forever to answer messages, which was inconvenient during emergencies. Also, it can get boring at time when you are alone. If you want an immersive experience, I recommend looking elsewhere. Yet, if you wish for some time off to enjoy the city, this might be the job for you.
