It was a great experience. This was my first time volunteering, and I'm glad I chose this place. I came during the low season in summer, so there were no other volunteers. Every morning I was given some simple tasks to do for a few hours. It was never too long or too difficult. They fed me three times a day with local food — I even got to try frogs! The meals were simple but tasty. Mobile isn't perfect but ok. The dorm is quite basic — I would have liked a bit more furniture. The toilet could use some improvements, but there's a hot shower available in the main house.

I gehadert an amazing time with a beautiful family in the mountains of Laos. It was so interesting to learn about the self sufficient life in Laos while being surrounded by nature. Will cherish this time forever!

Great Experience on the Farm! the lodge was incredibly friendly and caring – despite the language barrier, communication was easy. The tasks were physically demanding but also varied, also during the dry season when watering the plants was essential. We worked in the mornings, leaving the afternoons free to relax. The food was a real highlight – super delicious and always freshly cooked! The countryside and the farm itself are beautiful, providing the perfect place to unwind after work. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this experience!

Amazing place immersed in the nature, good local coffee, fresh fruit and vegetables grown on the property and a lot of cute animals. You can swim in the river during the dry season. It was a lot of fun.
