This was my first volunteer experience and it couldn't have been better. I was looking for a quiet and peaceful place to rest a little from the big city. The place is wonderful and Mahir's parents are very kind, always making me feel at home. Sofiye cooks wonderful food. My job was to clean the house, rake some leaves that fall from the trees, pick blackberries, feed the chickens.. so nothing that takes too much time or is too heavy. I recommend it to anyone who wants a break from the hustle and bustle and wants an immersive cultural experience.

The volunteering experience at the Villa was very calm. The activities were simple and clear: we had to team up with another volunteer to take care of everything, including cleaning rooms, doing laundry, cleaning common areas, and receiving guests. Since there are only 3 rooms, it was very quick to complete these tasks. If you're looking for a quiet place to volunteer, this is perfect. However, if you plan to visit Istanbul and its surroundings, consider that it takes about 3 hours to get there by bus.

The stay at the villa was very quitel. It's important to note that it's 3 hours (by bus) away from the city, there's only a small supermarket 15 minutes away on foot, and there's nothing to do around the area. If the trip is for a few days, I recommend it. the guest house is spacious, however, the shower they provide is not the best. The activities are very simple, though I would recommend an improvement in the administrative side regarding the check-in/check-out process. We only met the host one day, the communication was mostly through messages or calls.

Mahir and his family are extremely welcoming and accommodating. The B&B is a little further out from the city than I had anticipated, so if you're looking for somewhere close to Istanbul this might not be the place for you. The work Mahir asks of you is light and the facilities perfect. If you're a digital nomad this place is ideal.

It was an overall good experience for 2 months, its is a Comfortable place, you have a big the guest house for yoirself and the house is lovely, the family is very easy going with a beautiful baby, all was good. The work is straight forward and easy, it can be spread between day with making the rooms and night welcoming the guests but not an issue. The place is far away from İstanbul center but you can arrange time to visit either way.

Such a lovely family, it's so interesting to talk to them since they've traveled a lot. The work is easy and it can be done in just a few hours . I liked talking to the guests and asking them how their travel was. It was a good experience for me as I was coming after traveling for two months , so I could rest here and recharge to continue my travels. I cooked most of my meals but I could take most of the ingredients from the house kitchen so it wasn't a problem at all. I recommend! ☺️ ( also they kept my backpack while I traveled to capadocia ) Thanks Mahir, Melike and Ece !

I truly enjoyed my stay with Mahir, his wife Melike, and their adorable baby girl. They were wonderful hosts, a very wholesome family. The working hours are fair, the job is not that hard. I learned how to greet the guests and gained valuable experience. The food was great, I loved dining with them and learning more about their family. Unfortunately, I had to leave earlier than expected due to document issues that needed to be solved. However, I would absolutely come back again! The area is nice and the neighborhood is safe, very close to the Istanbul the guest house.

Vivir como voluntario por dos meses en este lugar fue agradable, las tareas son simples y de poca atención, verás que el tiempo que te sobra puede ser mucho, la habitación es enorme (sótano) limpia, agradable. Está sumamente cerca del aeropuerto the guest house el más grande de Estambul, pero es bastante lejano al menos 30km de los atractivos turísticos de la capital es una zona tranquila pero que tiene su encanto. La familia es tranquila y geniales. Los recomiendo
