The Place is very interesting, there are a lot of positive sides that could be explained, Unfortunately, the experience wasn't the best for me, I honestly tried to take the best out of the situation, but the Negative exceeded my possibilities, Communication about boundaries felt useless, John (Manager) seems to deal with difficult wounds that show up as aggressive explosions and sexually aggressive "jokes" and physical approaches. Since the beggining it was very hard to fullfil expectations while being constantly screamed at. I couldn't give my best under those conditions, I'm sorry.

Thanks again for being with us.
As we both know, not everyone fits perfectly in every situation — that’s just a part of life. What doesn’t work in one place might be a perfect fit somewhere else or with someone else - John is deeply appreciated by many other volunteers, artists, and collaborators.
We gave you 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ because we believe in seeing the best in people. There’s often too much focus on negativity and judgment of others, but we strive to see the positive and possibilities instead.

It was one of the best life experiences I've ever had! The village is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by nature at its finest. We were lucky enough to see the northern lights several times, which was a unique and unforgettable moment. The space where we stayed had all the necessary comforts for a perfect stay. It's also a place filled with art, adding a very special touch. The team was super hospitable, always ready to help us and make us feel at home. I learned so much about Sweden and Sami culture, an experience I will always carry with me.

Such a wonderful experience! The place is beautiful, with a lot of lakes nearby and wonderful nature. Due to being in a place not close to big cities, the light pollution is little and allows to see some beautiful northern lights! (if the weather is not cloudy, of course). It is an inspiring place, very comfortable to live in, and I had the pleasure of also meeting incredible people and create many memories that will last forever. Hopefully in the future we will cross paths again, thank you for everything!

One of my best experiences! The place is very nice and perfect for watching the northern lights. Although it's a small community, there are nearby parks and islands for walking. Plus, the accommodation is right next to a lake, which adds a special charm. You can explore both nature and local culture here. I'll be glad to go back in the near future.

The actual host is only somewhat connected to the project, usually just telling a local coordinator what needs to be done. This coordinator fails to communicate and lacks respect for volunteers, while also displaying inappropriate behavior. Apart from this, work hours are not respected at all, no matter what agreements are made, and off-days are usually shunned, so you're expected to work 24/7 and on-call. the host itself is fairly nice, close to nature, but also remote, so it's difficult to make plans without getting the coordinator involved.

Christoph, we are sorry your experience did not meet your expectations. You were part of the same group as Dara, where even three hours of daily work was often not completed. We had several conversations with you about how to improve the situation, but you consistently wanted to do less than the other volunteers, so it is not correct to say that work hours were not respected. We regret the mismatch and wish you the best in your future volunteering.

A s a female traveler, I felt unsafe and disrespected during my stay. The volunteers coordinator's (male, 70 y/o) inappropriate behavior made me uncomfortable, and the lack of communication from the host left me and fellow volunteers unsure about everything. The host threatening with “no more food” while we were performing physically demanding tasks far from what was agreed upon only added to my distress. This experience left me feeling disrespected and vulnerable, and I hope future volunteers, especially women, are met with better communication, respect, and safety measures.

Dara, we are sorry your experience did not meet your expectations. However, together with two other volunteers you formed a separate group and often worked less than three hours a day, which made it difficult to keep things fair for everyone. Regarding the coordinator, it was you who visited his apartment in the evenings to ask for free drinks, so we feel your description is not accurate. We regret the mismatch and wish you the best in your future volunteering.

Tuve una excelente estadía como voluntaria en Moskosel el anfitrión Lab que definitivamente volvería a experimentar, ya que este lugar se encuentra en medio de la naturaleza y luego de tus tareas tú puedes salir a explorar . Recomiendo viajar como voluntario y experimentar todas las estaciones ya que ver la belleza verano de seguro debe ser impactante como ver la belleza del paisaje en verano, otoño y primavera.Tanto el propietario Gonçalo como John el manager están siempre a disposición para resolver cualquier cuestión. Fue increíble experiencia como primera vez voluntariando! Gracias infinitas

Durante todo o período, vivi uma experiência transformadora. Conectei-me com a natureza, evolui no inglês e aprendi muito na convivência em grupo. O gerente John é excepcional, simpático, prestativo e cheio de histórias que ampliam nossos horizontes. Em todos os momentos, senti respeito e acolhimento. Gonçalo também é um anfitrião notável, mesmo não estando sempre presencialmente, está sempre atento, presente e disposto a resolver qualquer situação, cuidando de cada voluntário com dedicação. Recomendo a todos viverem essa experiência, meu desejo era ficar por mais tempo.

Mi experiencia en Moskosel fue maravillosa. Es un lugar rodeado de naturaleza y paisajes hermosos. Me sentí muy feliz trabajando con el equipo, John es un gran ser humano que esta presto a enseñar y a dar lo mejor de él para hacerte sentir bien, y Gonçalo hace lo posible para estar pendiente de todos. En todo momento me sentí aceptado, tanto con las personas acargo como con los demás voluntarios. Se respetaron las horas de trabajo y desarrollé nuevas habilidades. Sin duda mejoré mi nivel de inglés. Fue la mejor primera experiencia como voluntario, la recomiendo sin duda, un gran voluntariado.
