From the moment my girlfriend and I arrived, the hosts made us feel right at home. Whether during our working hours or on our days off, they were always around to chat, tell us the story of the eco-park, share meals together, or simply enjoy a fika while we exchanged stories about our travels and lives. Without a doubt, we'll be coming back to this magical place!

Our month of volunteering was amazing. Although it was low season we had an unforgettable experience. We shared quality time with Håkan and Ülika, learned a lot about Swedish culture and tasted amazing dishes. The place itself is beautiful and the nature is immense. If you love nature, this is the place for you. As for the chores, they are simple and you have to take care of the place as if it were your home and always be attentive to what is needed. We would definitely recommend it and would love to come back someday! Thank you Ülika and Håkan!! ❤️

Ulrika and Häkan welcomed me very well! They gave me a comfortable room and offered me all the amenities of the hotel. I spent a month in the low season in winter. I was the only volunteer. And the work was flexible and varied. So I had time to get to know the Ecopark that surrounds the Hotel. And to interact with Häkan, very friendly and always in a good mood. We shared conversations that I enjoyed a lot and made me work my brain haha. And he showed me Swedish traditions. Häkan took me to the station in his car every time I needed. Ulrika and Häkan, thanks so much for share with travellers! ❤

Håkan he is such a sweet elder and despite his momentarily health issue he did his best to be positive and welcoming. WIFI and cellphone connection are very limited here and that's not mentioned in the profile. Ulrika seemed triggered every time she was around, when I asked her sometimes "Is everything okay" she started complaining about things which I found to be very counterproductive and super negative, she tried to engage with me in a dramatic manner a couple of times and I just walked away. This kind of behavior really affected the overall experience There was other factors as well...

Shervin took a lot of space in a subtle way. He left his room very dirty without saying good bye not just ignoring me but Also the other volunteers as well as guests that he had spoken to previously. I did get very upset with him at one point after telling him to clean up after himself and firstly take from freshly cooked foods served for the guests before making the same for himself . I never seemed to reach him in My attempts to share our ways never landed for him .

My overall experience at the hostel was good Ulrika and Hökan were very nice and welcoming. Accomodation was good i had my own room food was always provided mostly you cooking for urself. It is a great place to do alot of hiking, it is right in the middle of a forest very beautifull. Nearest shops or supermarket is about 10 mins drive or 40 mins by bike. And wifi connection is not the greatest sometimes. Its a nice place if you wanna be a bit disconected and enjoy nature.
