This was my first Worldpackers experience and I was left disappointed. From the beginning I felt unwanted and unwelcome. There were too many volunteers for the tasks. The 5 hour long shifts were mostly spent waiting for something to do. The staff accommodation was a 50 minute walk aways and volunteers have to source their own bikes which is hard to find in peak season and near impossible to find under €50. Their profile states free use of laundry which wasn’t true. They wouldn’t cater to my dietary requirements. Surfing and yoga were enjoyable but overall I would not recommend.

First person to behave this way since we started welcoming volunteers. Before your arrival, we discussed your dietary requirements and offered solutions, which you agreed to!
The accommodation you were given was 15min away by bike, bike you didn’t have to buy, because we lent it to you for free : yet not once did we hear a thank you !
Don't forget you had free access every single day to yoga classes, surf lessons, surfboard rentals, we cannot recommend you as a volunteer...

This is a very fun experience to live at the beach and surf as much as much as you want but there were some things that weren’t communicated properly. Laundry is not included, neither is wifi or transportation to the hostel for some of the volunteers. You also aren’t really trained on anything, but the hosts would get angry if you did something that was not how they would do it. One of the hosts also had a poor temper and would sometimes explode and create a negative environment. I still had a great time but these are things to know beforehand :)

Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you had a good time with us and enjoyed the beach life and surfing!
That said, we’d like to clarify a few things and put your experience into context. Since you were living at the hostel, you had free access to the Wi-Fi, and there was no need for any transportation, as everything was on-site. No enough space to give you a real feedback....
We wish you all the best for your next adventures and many more positive experiences to come :)

I really enjoyed working with the Cheeky Family team! Dimitri and Mélanie are wonderful and welcoming hosts and they made sure all my needs for my stay were met. I got to do a variety of tasks even though the hostel was closed for part of my stay and still had heaps of free time to explore Lacanau and relax. The free surf lessons were a huge bonus too! I would definitely recommend this experience for anyone who is interested.

I really enjoyed volunteering at the Cheeky family! The hostel is so nice and cosy, and the team are all kind and open people. We ate and worked together, and there was always a fun, pleasant atmosphere!
I made so many great memories, learned a lot and could improve my English and French.
The work wasn’t difficult, mostly behind the bar, cleaning the hostel and making breakfast, and you can always ask for help.
We also had the possibility to go surfing or do yoga in our free time, and the food was delicious.
Thanks again for the opportunity and the lovely experience :)

The people are really lovely and welcoming and the team was so kind and supportive. I felt really comfortable and got to know very inspiring people. The Hostel is such a cute place and has a relaxed, fun and good atmosphere overall. The whole experience was just a lot of fun and I really made a lot of great memories. We always ate together and did a lot of stuff together, therefore you really felt like you were being part of a lovely community/family. I recommend everyone to volunteer here, the Cheeky and the people there are great !

Thanks again for this opportunity!:)
