Volunteering at the guest house in Oxford has been such a special experience! From the very first day, I felt welcomed and part of a real community and made friends for a lifetime! Yaz and Noemi were wonderful throughout my stay - always kind, supportive, and making sure everything ran smoothly. I'm really grateful for my time at the guest house :)

My stay at the guest house was a truly wonderful experience! Yaz and his family are incredibly generous and welcomed me with open arms. All the staff at the guest house were super friendly and always willing to help. The volunteer house was fantastic, we were provided with everything we needed and more! The work itself was very varied and engaging. Besides cleaning, we got to interact with the guests, make chocolate or cook jam. I learned so much during my time here, I even had the chance to help extract honey from their very own beehives! Above all, I made truly meaningful friendships here. Thank you! ✨💛

I will forever be grateful for this opportunity. It was my first volunteering experience, and I was lucky to stay long enough to learn so much and always feel at home. Yaz is one of the most intelligent, creative, and kind people I've ever met, and his family is no exception: Noémi, Maya, and Myriam were always friendly and caring. Pauline, Joanna, and Alex were my guardian angels. Each of them took a piece of my heart. I made friendships I hope will last a lifetime and unforgettable memories. Thank you, Yaz and friends, for turning my birthday away from home into such a special day❤️

Yaz, his family, and the whole team are so incredibly warm and welcoming. They truly treat you like family. The accommodation is wonderful; you'll share a spacious place with the most amazing volunteers from around the world. And to top it all off, this is such a lovely, charitable organization. They are the epitome of hospitality and solace. They provide refuge for those in need, support small businesses, and promote sustainability; and that's just to name a few. It's wonderful to have such nice accommodations, but it's invaluable to work with truly kind, caring people. I highly recommend.

Cory has been an absolutely incredible person to work with. The enthusiasm she brings to the team is infectious. She brings a sparkle to any room she enters. The guests absolutely loved when she gave them the tour of all the magic props and the estate. She truly elevated the experience for all our guests and I thank her wholeheartedly for everything she did while she was here. We will certainly miss her.

My time at the guest house was nothing short of transformative. Every day brought new insights from practical skills to deeper understandings about life, people, and myself. Yaz and his family are incredibly kind and welcoming. His daughters radiate joy and intelligence, and the entire team, Joanna, Pauline, and everyone involved, creates a truly supportive environment. The work is well-organized and meaningful, the surroundings are peaceful and breathtaking, and the volunteer space is cozy and well-equipped. I'm deeply grateful for all I've learned and the beautiful memories I take with me.
