Marika and Stephan are very nice! It was my first Worldpackers experience and I enjoyed! I truly believe they did everything they could to make me feel welcomed. It's a good opportunity to slow down, enjoy nature and go on bike rides. Thank you ☺️

Our experience was challenging. The natural surroundings and the interaction with the animals were pleasant. However, the unhealthiness of the caravan was unexpected and the toilet placed next to the bed inconvenient. The lack of Internet access made it difficult for us to work online. Also, the tension with the host made us uncomfortable due to a poor communication and yelling while we tried to talk. We finished our stay earlier than expected. At least, I had the opportunity to practise french with the host. We are young and hardworking, we hope to enjoy being volunteers in another occasion.

Our experience was challenging. The contact with nature and the interaction with the animals is pleasant. However, problems such as hygiene in the caravan and the location of the toilets next to the bed made our stay difficult. The lack of internet access made our online work difficult. Tension with the host made us uncomfortable, communication was poor and we eventually left earlier than planned. We believe it is not right to raise your voice when you are not happy with the housekeeping service. It is important to share these experiences to help make informed decisions for future volunteers.

Marika and Stephan are great hosts, cooked delicious meals, often offered us a lift to nearby towns and were always very helpful and understanding. We lived in a fully equipped camper surrounded by nature, including a river just a few steps away, in a company of magnificent animals. Thank you, Marika and Stephan, it was a pleasure 😊

I am very happy to have spent 4 weeks here. Positive atmosphere, delicious Belgian food and nature is how I will remember these moments. Tasks to be done always clear! Access to the river where you can fish! In the area a lot of villages where you can go to travel by bike. I recommend and thank you ;)

This was my first time with Worldpackers and I loved the whole experience! Marika and Stephan are very kind, respectful, welcoming and always willing to help out. The tasks, working hours and living conditions are exactly as listed in the description; the work isn't hard nor complicated. I stayed in a trailer fully equipped, comfy and a little away from the main house (which was great because I had my own space). Personally, I decided to come here because I wanted to practice my French, have a set schedule and be in touch with nature, and this experience was the perfect match. Merci M & S !

It's a beautiful place. I loved my stay. I stayed in a trailer for couple. The trailer is spacious, has equipped kitchen, bathroom with hot water and more things. Great for those who like privacy. Marika and Stephan are a kind couple, they are great hosts, they also made me feel comfortable all the time. We talked a lot at lunch time, we had good laughs too. I couldn't forget to talk about Paco, Sandro and Perle who became my pet friends.

Our stay in Colombie was very pleasant, it is located in a small village that has a lot of nature and greenery that allows you to ride a bicycle provided by the volunteers. The tasks are simple, we have shared lunches with the hosts which I find very positive, they have complied with the working hours, rest times, with the possibility of transfer and food. Marika and Stephan have been very good hosts with us, thank you very much :)

My experience here was great, Marika and Stephan are very kind, whenever they can give you a ride they do it without any doubt, I met many places thanks to them and the bike you always can use. The lunches were always delicious and the trailer was comfortable and with all the things you need for cooking. Thank you guys very much, hope to see you again.

Thank you Laura. You were such a pleasure to have here - it felt like you were part of the family. You were so helpful: always cheerful while executing the daily housekeeping - I really appreciate everything you did and we hope to see you again sometime!

Our experience was good. We had several communication problems at the beginning, but then it was okay.They didn't explain us what to do with the meals or how they like the chores to be done. Vale clean and Facundo helped with construction work.We would recommend that they accep volunteers only if it's possible to stay in the camper van, because their aren't comfortable with having people on the house. otherwise the room we stayed was really nice. They were very nice taking us to different villages arround. And Facundo has the opportunity to taste new and different food that Maricka cooked.

Dear Valeria we're indeed used to only host maximal two persons in the camper and having to explain to several people next to the regular full time makes it indeed very challenging to host.

We under estimated how hard is to divise the attention and try to be avalaible for all the different needs of each
