The hostel is truly a magical and special place. Anna and Anders and all of the other Swedish workers truly care about the volunteers and made a lot of effort to get to know us and make sure we were happy and well taken care of. The work hours are always respected, the work itself is chill, not stressful at all. The food is SCRUMPTIOUS, so many delicious meals thanks to the amazing and caring chefs. I had so many perfect days here: taking beautiful hikes, board game nights with the other volunteers, playing with Anna and Anders' son, and trips to lakes. 10/10 I will be back :D

Anna, Anders & Tore's place is perfect if you want to get close to nature and meet travelers from all over the world. The tasks are simple and clear: mostly washing dishes with a machine and cleaning rooms and shared areas, so nothing too stressful. They make you feel really welcome and the whole crew treats you with respect and kindness. This is definitely not a party place, but you can organise nice activities with the other volunteers. I had such a great time staying with them and I totally recommend their beautiful hostel if you want a chill, friendly vibe and an easygoing experience.

Loved this experience! High season is in my opinion the most fun; there is a lot going on, great atmosphere, kind people and beautiful nature to enjoy!

I'd go back tomorrow if I could, but nothing will stop me from going back next year :) It's a calm and peaceful, yet social and happy place. The nature surrounding the hostel is amazing and the fact that it is pretty remote makes you appreciate the little things, like the amazing chocolate cake and all the great pizzas, or the cute and cozy house where the volunteers live. It was my first experience with Worldpackers and I couldn't have asked for more! Thank you Anna and Anders, and a huge hug to Ture.

My time in the hostel was amazing. The town itself and the nature all around is really beautiful. There was a fun crew of volunteers and together we did loads of activities, often with staff joining us. Anna, Anders and all the staff are super nice and involved us in all the fun. Making it really feel like one big group. There was clear comminucation and respect all around even during the busy moments of high season. So yes, all the good things ;) Absolutely a great first volunteering experience. Thanks a lot to everyone, I will be back sometime.
