I was able to spend four weeks in the hostel and had a wonderful time. You get to know lots of great people who you get to work with. The working hours are absolutely fair and are usually less than the specified five hours. If we were missing anything, Sophie always took care of it straight away. There are also lots of beaches nearby, which you can easily reach on the bikes we were given here. I had a really great time here and would come back any time. Thank you for everything. :)

I absolutely loved my stay at the hostel and Hostel ! Everyone was very welcoming. I believe Sofie is a kind and generous host. She always makes herself available when needed and it is very easy to speak with her about anything (both before and during the trip). It was my first volunteering experience and I could not have wished for better, it was exactly like I expected to be. I really enjoyed going on bike rides on Öland and discovering new places around Löttorp. The work was fair (quite easy in my opinion, once you khow how to do it properly).

My experience here was so wonderful and special. Sofie and Henrik are such kind, genuine people, and they go above and beyond to make volunteers feel welcomed and well-cared for. I loved exploring the island by bike with other volunteers during my free time, which there was plenty of! The work is very easy to learn and straightforward, and the meals were delicious. I also felt very safe and comfortable living in the basement room. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to meet amazing people and make lifelong memories in Sweden. Thank you again for the lovely stay, Sofie and Henrik!

Sofie and Henrik are the sweetest people. I immediately felt at home with them. Because of this welcoming atmosphere, they and the volunteers felt like family to me. We ate, traveled and had great evenings together. Öland is beautiful with beaches for sunrises and sunsets just 15 minutes away on either side. Lilly 🐶 brightens up the place even more. The chores are easy to do and we had bikes for afternoon rides to hidden gems. I wholeheartedly recommend this place. Go and visit the beautiful surroundings and parties and connect with amazing people. I enjoyed every second! Thank you guys ♡

My time at the hostel was unforgettable! Living in peaceful little Löttorp on gave me a taste of the slow life. Sophie and Henrik were incredibly thoughtful host who made me feel safe welcomed, and included from day one. The work was fair and we often finished early, which left plenty of time to explore öland. My room was quiet and cozy, perfect place to slow down and recharge. What made this experience extra special was the shared meals and cultural exchange. All meals were included, and we got to cook dishes from our own backgrounds wow Sophie and Henrik did the same. Tack så mycket!
