We loved this experience so much! Anna and Anders made us feel so at home and part of the hostel family! The tasks were really enjoyable and the work environment allowed for creativity as well. Even during the off season, we felt that we experienced both the social aspects and the beautiful nature of the hostel!

Amazing experience!!! Anna and Anders are lovely people and hosts. I felt welcome from the first day and they make sure that you have a good time. The tasks were also fun and a wide variety from painting houses, cutting grass, preparing for events and working in a restaurant like kitchen. There is also a lot of hikes to go on in the area and lots of lakes to swim in. The place is surrounded by calm and peaceful forest. Perfect place to escape reality and recharge your batteries. Highly recommend! :)

I've had a truly amazing time at the hostel from day one. Anna and Anders are very welcoming hosts who always go above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable with everything- from the delicious food to flexible shift times and work tasks. Every task is well explained from the beginning and they are always happy to answer any questions, big or small. The location itself is magical- you feel like you step out of time into a fairytale forest. There's also plenty to do for nature lovers with countless hikes and lakes to explore. Definitely keen to come back next summer!

Anna and Anders are wonderful hosts, they really do look after you and you can trust them 100% the hostel is rather well ran, with enough energy and positivity to keep you going throughout. But also enough flexibility to listen to what tasks you prefer and communication to have open conversations about any issues that may arise. Not that I found any! Honestly this place magical and I would recommend it to all travellers
