Peaceful and inspiring experience!” Volunteering at the camping was amazing. The place is calm and full of natural beauty. The host was kind and made me feel welcome. I learned a lot, met great people, and left feeling refreshed and grateful.

I had a great experience at the camping. Artus and his team are very knowledgeable and skilled craftsmen. The projects Artus has planned provide a unique opportunity to learn about the potential of bamboo as a building material. While I don't think prior experience in construction is necessary, be prepared to do physical work in the humid Malaysian climate, which can be quite intense over time. Since this project takes place at a campsite, so you will be surrounded by nature and its inhabitants (e.g., insects, ants, etc.), even in the sanitary facilities. Thank you Artus and Agus!

The overall experience was extremely lacking particularly for me as a woman. i was supposed to help the caretaker to maintain the campsite but was always met with an abrupt no when i tried to help. The owner showed very limited communication skills and i had to figure out my own work for the most part. The animals on the property are extremely neglected and i tried my best to better their circumstances but the owner doesn't really care. i felt unsafe a lot of the time especially having to cross the campground at night to go to the toilet. The owner's responses to reviews are empty promises

Thanks Mieke for your help on the land especially on the animals care.. (could see your affection towards the animals like my daughters)

at our best we have dedicated a room for lady so that you would have your privacy where the man are on share dorm. As the Long house is under construction, once completed there are washroom facilities that are closer to the volunteers stay..

do understand your unsafe feeling. I do agreed on your request to leave early instead of a month to 2 weeks..
