Really great! fulfilling work which is easy to pick up. Mary (the main cook) is very helpful and patient. Yannik and Kai (the managers) facilitate your logistical needs. the guests who come in are generally nice and appreciative, and you feel great helping ppl. the living conditions are great - with a lot of room and private rooms for sleeping. the location is good for travel, it's about 20 mins from the main station, and from there you can get to dusseldorf, koln, munster, dortmund, bonn all within 1hr, or places like frankfurt, koblenz, mannheim, hannover, belgium, netherlands within 2-3hrs.

This was my first volunteering experience with Worldpackers, and it was truly rewarding. The work is simple, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. Despite the language difference, communicating with Mary was very easy, she is patient and kind, and she always finds a way to make sure we understand the tasks in the kitchen and when serving food. You also have plenty of free time to explore nearby places. Kai and Yannik were very friendly in showing the house and the project, where I was very happy to contribute. I also appreciate their quick response and action regarding a delicate situation.

Marie is very kind, and although I don't speak German and she doesn't speak English, we understood each other very well. I also loved her food. Yannick and Kai are very kind and pleasant; they were resolute if I needed something. The house is big, and you have your privacy. If you're looking to help with a sustainable project and have plenty of free time and independence, it's a very good option. But I had big problems with a man who was living like a volunteer, I didn't felt safe with him. He was annoying with everyone who arrived. ADVICE: trust in your intuition and TALK at first weird thing

It was an incredible experience, it made me rethink the way I treat people and how a simple act of help can change someone's day. The whole team is wonderful—Yannik, Kay, and Mary—thank you so much for everything.
