This experience was truly 10/10! The host was incredibly flexible with the schedule, which made the whole stay very comfortable and stress-free and the work wasn't difficult at all. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere of the place was so cozy and welcoming that I felt at home right away. One of the things I loved the most was the opportunity to connect with so many amazing people from different places and backgrounds. Sharing meals, conversations, and experiences made this stay unforgettable. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

My first volunteering experience and it was amazing! We mainly did gardening tasks in a peaceful little village, and stayed in a super comfortable cabin just for volunteers – with private rooms, kitchen, bathroom, living room, and terrace, all in perfect condition. Robin is incredibly skilled and always helpful with any task, from gardening to mechanics and more. Also Helen's humor and energy made the workdays fly by – she really brightened the experience. On our days off, we explored nearby spots like Deauville, Étretat, and Mont Saint-Michel. We had so much fun. Highly recommended!

Robin prepared equipments for the work and gave instruction properly which made our work flow smoothly. Every work was new to us which made everyday special. We got different work each day which made us think every night for the next work. We worked hard hoping clients would live more of the place. We rode bike to Falaise most of the day to see the castle and eat delicious pastries:) Robin was very kind taking us to the station and also waiting for us at the station when the train was delayed so much. Thank you so much for your kindness and I hope to volunteer again.

I had a marvelous time at the host!! Robin was very attentive, and helped us a lot. The work time was flexible and the tasks were simple and very well explained. Everything was very organized, the food was bought weekly and we had to cook for ourselves which was completely fine. We could also use the bikes and a car to move around, this was perfect to get to know other places. The place is very beautiful, peaceful and surrounded by nature. As this was my first time volunteering I think it was a great experience! I totally recommend it!
