I stayed 2 months at the guest house and I had an amazing time. I can't find the right words to express how I felt there. Mari, Yolina and Venko were generous, kind, and welcoming.🫶🏻❤️ They provided a lot of things, bicycles, basic cooking ingredients, ping pong table, darts and sport equipment. The work was as described in the position, it lasted usually 3 hours. It was well organized, easy to follow and the tasks were clear. The surroundings are lovely, it is a small village but so beautiful. There are many hikes to do and you can easily enjoy the lake. I recommend volunteering there!

One of the highlights was the stunning view from my room — I was fortunate to stay in a guest room instead of the volunteer room. The breakfast buffet was fantastic. The work itself was straightforward and usually finished before 2 PM. I was given €25 a week for groceries, for lunch and dinner. There's also plenty of free time to explore the surrounding area, with beautiful hikes and views of the Alps. A tip for future volunteers: if you speak German or Bulgarian, communication will be much easier, as the family is Bulgarian. ❄️🏔️🌲😆🫶🏼

I'm so grateful and feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to explore Döbriach :) Marie and her family are super welcoming and lovely; we worked as a team. I enjoyed a delicious breakfast every day :). Dóbriach is a lovely town. It is located around a beautiful lake, with incredibles mountains that I loved every day when I went for hiking and I met wonderful people who became friends. Thank u so much Marie, Arno, Yolina, and her dad, for your generosity, kindness, and empathy. It was beautiful, and there are not enough words to say thank u for this amazing experience¡Dankeschön! 💜
