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.

My stay in the hostel was positive. The city is small and peaceful. The offered room was good, the work was simple, and the hours were well respected. The work and meal system worked very well. However, throughout my stay, there was no internet, which may be an important consideration for some. Sharing the experience with another volunteer was crucial; I imagine being alone could become lonely and monotonous.

I had a great time volunteering at the hostel, location is great, you will stay in a 6 BR dorms by the pool. Super clean, great atmosphere, easy tasks related to housekeeper, cleaning, check-in as well. Be responsible, learn what needs to be done and everything will be great, after that you will have plenty of free time. VALÉRIE is super friendly, fair, and responsible, for instance if u need a particular day off she can manage that. You will practice English and of course French too. Fully recommended by me, Thanks Valérie for making my 7 weeks here just unforgettable !!! Merci. LOL

This experience was really fun and so helpful for improving my French. Valerie was really lovely and accommodating, it really helps if you make an effort to speak/learn some French. The work only took the mornings, it was very important to get everything done before you can leave but it was nice to have the whole afternoons and evenings to go to the beach or explore the area. Met some really lovely people and spent lots of time in the pool :)

Hello, this was my first experience, and it couldn't have been better. From the reception by hostess Valerie and her family, everyone was so kind. Tasks are as per the description. Valerie is flawless! Concerned about our well-being, she encourages conversation in French and makes delicious crepes. I felt very welcome and would highly recommend the hostel experience. I practiced French, English, met special people, like Aldana and Anouk. I was very happy here, and I would like to say see you soon. I wish you and your family all the best Valerie, thank you so much for everything. Juliane

This was my first world packers experience. I enjoyed staying at Valerie's hostel. In front of the shared bed room there's a fantastic view and a very nice pool to spend some good time at. Also the tasks (housekeeping, cleaning) were well communicated and easy to understand. It's necessary that everything will be done till new guests arrived. But after work you have enough time to explore the hostel, the surroundings and of course Marseille (I recommend a lot!!!). I met great people there and really hope to come back one day … A big thanks to Valerie and her husband. :)
