I really enjoyed my volunteering at the lodge's guesthouse. I felt very welcomed, the place is beautiful, lost in the mountains with few villages and some shops around. The job is not too hard and simple, 3-4h in the morning then its free all the afternoon and you can go explore the nature, rice fields, jungle, villages or just relax at the farm. My 2 weeks there passed very quickly, I recommend !

The lodge farm gives you a real insight into life in Laos away from the city. The tasks were simple and varied, such as watering and fertilising plants. There's a lot of free time in the day, but there isn't much to do in the village so make sure to bring something to do/read. The food the lodge cooks is really nice and the beds were comfortable too. Overall I enjoyed my time here, it's a very different experience to the usual backpacking route. Unfortunately I had to leave early due to illness, and had to pay 10USD a day instead of the 6, which wasn't stated in the description.

I had lovely experience at Taos Farm. The locals and the other volunteers made it a very special experience for me! The work was fair. Mikele, the lodge + plus Family were really kind. Mikele is fluent in English, the lodge speeks just a little but for the basic needs it's fine. Our tasks were watering the plants, build a new field for planting seeds, shoveling the cow poop, carry for the fresh straw, ... I loved being in touch with nature, so it was very peaceful there. Almost every evening we made a campfire and were playing Uno. With the other volunteers and aswell with some local people (family the lodge
