A wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone! Monica and Mario are sooo kind and generous, and they have lots of experience traveling and hosting volunteers. Skrova is STUNNING and so peaceful. It's also possible to take trips to other parts of Lofoten on your days off. The work itself is simple, hours are well respected, and you're given a lot of trust and autonomy to complete tasks. I'm very grateful that I was able to be a part of the team the host this summer. I would love to come back and visit again soon! ☀️

Staying at the host & the host was truly an unforgettable experience. From the very first day, Monica and Mario made me feel at home with their kindness and generosity. The work is simple, fair, and hours are respected, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the island. Skrova is breathtaking: small, peaceful, and full of activities like hiking, swimming, biking, camping, sauna, and beach days. The accommodation is spacious, there's always food, and bikes are provided. I came planning to stay less but ended up wishing I could stay much longer. Thank you for everything!

Simply amazing!!!! I had my best time the host. I've been here for over a month and even if the island is really small, i never got tired of it. I wish i could stay longer! Monica and Mario are incredibly kind and since the begining i felt really welcomed, both by them and the other volunteers. The work is about 5 hours per day, that leaves you with a lot of free time to enjoy the beach, hiking, swimmig, biking, camping and just spending time with the other volunteers. I highly recommend this experience.
