I had a very enjoyable time in Skalsjogarden. I was truly captivated by the sorrounding nature, by the change to pick wild berries and mushrooms, and by have direct connection with forest. In our free time we had access to a car, bikes, SUP boards, allowing us to make the most of the place. I spent my working time in kitchen were I had the oportunity to do diffrent tasks. Sabrina and Jonas were very generous in sharing their knowhow. I also had the opportunity to prepare family melas, which gave great pleasure. Thank you, and I wish you all the best.

I had a really good time here! The place is surrounded by beautiful nature with nice hiking trails, and there are many activities – you can borrow a bike, a car, or paddleboards. You can also take their amazing dog with you! The work was easy and manageable. Sometimes I felt like I was missing a bit of information but I could always ask, and Jonas and Sabrina were always kind, helpful, and really tried to make our stay as good as possible. I liked that all volunteers shared a house together, which made it easy to connect and everyone was so nice. I can definitely recommend it!

My stay in Sweden was truly unforgettable! I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience family life up close, discover multiple cultures at once, and simply have a great time. Sabrina and Jonas were incredibly generous hosts who went above and beyond to make everything possible for us. Even though their houses are tucked away in the forest, there's so much things to do, for example: city trips, camping, paddling with SUPs and much more. If you're looking for a place that offers both relaxation and adventure – this is the place to be! Thank you for everything!

I had an amazing time at Skålsjögården! Jonas and Sabrina were welcoming and I felt like part of their family. They always helped me, with everything I needed and they tried to make my stay as nice as possible. The work in the kitchen was mostly easy and I had the best time with other employees. I had a lot of free time. I recommend this experience to everybody!

I highly recommend this place. I spent 3 weeks there and I have to admit that I had a great time. I was working in the kitchen and the work was manageable. I worked there with Sabrina, other volunteers and employees, and it was really fun. We had a volunteer house and the conditions were really good. Sabrina and Jonas were always caring about us and they were very kind and helpful. I have met many good people there and I would recommend this experience😊 We also had the opportunity to use a car, which is great.
