My time at the hostel (and my first Worldpackers experience) was amazing! Anna and Anders are very warm and kind people, and will ensure you have what you need to be comfortable. They immediately make you feel like part of the family. When I fell ill, they were understanding and did not make me feel pressured to work. The work is straightforward. Usually it's washing dishes or cleaning common areas of the hostel. Work hours are respected and they make sure you take a break, usually one hour in the middle of your shift. If you're looking for a nature getaway, I would highly recommend!

My time at Tivedstrop with hosts Anna and Anders was truly one to remember. The family are super friendly and welcoming. From the endless hikes, experiencing midsummer and the work itself I would highly recommend to anybody. Thankyou Anna , Anders. I am Looking forward to visiting Tivedstrop again in the future!!

The hostel is truly magical place where you can learn, explore and just relax surrounded by a beautiful nature. Anna, Andres, and Linnea are caring and supportive – working and spending time with them is always a pleasure. The tasks may vary depending on the season, but you'll always be clearly told what to do, and you'll learn a lot! The work isn't hard, and working hours are always respected. A schedule is provided in advance, so you can plan your days off! If you're okay with being in a remote location, I'd absolutely recommend it!

Anna and Anders are great people running a hostel in a beautifull place. The work hours were always respected. Before and afterwards it's nice to spend time outside. I recommend to bring a insect repellent.
