My stay at the guest house was great! Everyone that I met was very kind and helpful. Yaz and his family are very welcoming and sweet people. Joanna and Pauline are incredible too and helped a lot! I always knew that if I need or have trouble with something, I can always approach someone and never felt alone. It was wonderful to see how many ideas Yaz has and how much he tries to create a great experience for both volunteers and guests. The place is beautiful, surrounded by nature but not too far away from the city center. Would definitely recommend! :)

It was my first volunteering experience and I fell in love with it! The place is stunning, full of nature and very comfortable. The family is very welcoming, Yaz's daughters are so polite and Nice (Maya is very mature and Miriam is super funny and dear, we had a great time singing Disney songs together!) Yaz is very funny and cares a lot about us, always trying to make the experience even better. Joanna & Pauline are just amazing, they are always there for you, are super understanding and lovely. I could go on saying lots of other things about how amazing it is, I'm going to miss this so much!

The guest house is a really special place, peaceful and surrounded by nature. The volunteers space is super comfortable, well-equipped, and has everything we need. Groceries are always provided based on what we ask for. Yaz and his family are incredibly kind, generous and welcoming. From day one, I felt at home. The work is well-structured and flexible. The host is always thinking of ways to improve the volunteer experience and genuinely cares about making it great for everyone. I had a lovely time here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a calm and meaningful experience.

This experience was truly amazing. Thanks to the wonderful people I got to meet, the great accommodation, and the provided groceries, my two months flew by. The hours were flexible, and if a trip was planned, asking for a few days off in a row was no problem. In addition to housekeeping, we also learned how to temper chocolate—an interesting and valuable skill to acquire. All in all, I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for an extraordinary volunteer opportunity. I am looking forward to returning in the future. Thank you!

I had the most amazing time at the guest house! Yaz, his family, and everyone I worked with were so welcoming, supportive and generous. They truly made me feel like part of the team and I loved that I could bring my personal skills (yoga teaching) into the experience. The space is cozy, comfortable and really well-equipped. The stunning location, inviting atmosphere, along with the chance to explore Oxford and London during my time off, made it even better. Over all, it was such an unforgettable experience and I'm beyond grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it!
