My experience at the guesthouse was wonderful and I highly recommend it. The place is beautiful, surrounded by nature and peace. The food the lodge prepares is delicious, fresh, homegrown, and I loved the coffee and the homemade jam. Tasks were simple and well-explained by Michel. I enjoyed my free time reading, hiking, swimming in the river, and connecting with the guests. I'd love to come back!

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.
