I spent two weeks at the Casino helping with repairs, painting, and general upkeep. Lawrence was a kind and caring host with a great sense of humor. His project has real heart and impact. In our free time, we biked through the forest, played games, and shared deep conversations by the fire. I learned a lot despite having no prior experience and would love to return for a longer stay. Highly recommend If you are looking for something new and special!

My girlfriend and I had an excellent experience as volunteers at Casino Van Gompel. The atmosphere is great and fun, and the bond among volunteers is very friendly! Lawrence is an excellent host—always attentive to the needs of the group and the place. The tasks are varied, which allows you to learn or improve different skills. It's also a great place to practice new languages. Without a doubt, it was an enriching experience.

My stay at the Casino was short but intense (in a very fun way). Lawrence is incredibly welcoming, understanding, supportive and full of energy, and it's contagious. The project is ambitious and inspiring. There's plenty of things to do, various skills to be learned. Everyday is different. The volunteers need to be fairly autonomous which creates a little the organization. Everyone is always ready to help.

Lawrence is really an admirable host. He really puts in effort to improve the lives of people the organization and to make volunteers feel at home. I am vegan and have a lot of allergies, and he was very proactive in trying to understand my diet to ensure I always had all the food I needed. To the volunteers reading this review, I assure you that here you will find meaningful and varied tasks, and a knowledgeable host always ready to explain them. Each morning, tasks are discussed with the whole team, and all volunteers can take on the jobs that best suit their abilities or what they want to learn.

Casino Van Gompel is a great place! This was our first volunteer and we enjoyed since the first second, the house is so amazing and big, you will have a lot of different tasks to do there, from fixing things, building, and cleaning to gardening and of course, one of my favorites, work in the Café, we did amazing friends that will be in my heart for the rest of my life, we connected with nature and learned about the everyday life the organization. Lawrence is a great host, we had an amazing room that other volunteers prepared for us, very nice food to prepare our meals and hot water to take good baths

I had an amazing time at Casino Van Gompel! Lawrence was a generous host and I appreciated all his hospitality, especially that he picked me up at the train station when I arrived. The accommodations were very good, my room was much bigger than I expected. I spent a lot of my time working at the cafe serving drinks, which I very much enjoyed. I also had the chance to develop new skills, such as plastering and spreading concrete. My favorite part of this experience was getting to meet all the amazing international volunteers and getting the chance to exchange cultures with them.

This volunteering experience was one of the best I have had. Lawrence received us with a warm heart heart, he gave us the opportunity to share this experience with my mom, and had the patience to teach us and guideus through the daily activities. We really enjoy cooking, working at the bar, restoring the beautiful teather and sharing great and lovely experiences with the other volunteers. Lawrence, thanks a lot for the experience. You are very welcome to 🇨🇴 too!

An incredible experience at Casino Van Gompel. The tasks are varied and interesting. There are plenty of opportunities to learn different skills and share ideas. Also great to meet so many other volunteers and locals. The plan for the Casino going forward is very the organization orientated and it was great to play a small part in that. The building itself is very impressive. Can get cold at night, but there are blankets, duvets and hot water bottles provided. Plenty of food also provided, as well as some bikes for transport. Overall I had a fantastic experience and I hope to back sometime.
