They were neither welcoming nor communicative. Meals were not announced, and nothing was set aside for later. There was no attempt at cultural exchange, shared time, or genuine interest. It seemed the sole purpose was to obtain free labor, even though they employed paid staff for the same tasks. The kitchen was unhygienic, with mice present and poor cleanliness throughout.

Randy was hiding from us, sneeking in taking things in front of everyone. Behaving terrible to everyone. Difficult with cultural exchange then

The hosts were friendly and welcomed me. The scheduling has less structure than anticipated. The work is not hard and the surrounding area is beautiful with great access to some very nice hiking trails. The experience overall had some challenges but the hosts were good to me and very good people. The greatest strength of the area is the nature and being away from a lot of the noise of the world. The Internet access is spotty, so be aware if you are relying on that.

We enjoyed Thomas help and company very much and thought he fitted in very well

Ulrika's a kind woman, but often extremely stressed. This makes the environment unorganized and chaotic. I had to work extra sometimes because things were forgotten about, not communicated to me, etc.
When I first arrived at Stocklycke, no one told me what to do for the first week or so. I was very overwhelmed, especially since it was my first experience.
I had a private room and toilet almost throughout my entire stay. There's a Gym and an amazingly equipped kitchen and fridge for our constant use. We're even allowed to borrow the car sometimes.
Nature and lake (5min walk) are very beautiful.

The experience at Stocklycke was average.

I had a private room and could use the kitchen anytime, which was great, but the house had no running water, so I had to walk outside to use the bathroom in other house. The internet was very unreliable, often not working after 8 pm, which made my online work difficult.

There was no clear schedule, so some volunteers felt lost, though I liked the flexibility.

In the end, I also helped with cleaning, the café and check-ins.
The surroundings are stunning.

Håkan he is such a sweet elder and despite his momentarily health issue he did his best to be positive and welcoming.
WIFI and cellphone connection are very limited here and that's not mentioned in the profile.
Ulrika seemed triggered every time she was around, when I asked her sometimes "Is everything okay" she started complaining about things which I found to be very counterproductive and super negative, she tried to engage with me in a dramatic manner a couple of times and I just walked away.
This kind of behavior really affected the overall experience
There was other factors as well...

Shervin took a lot of space in a subtle way. He left his room very dirty without saying good bye not just ignoring me but Also the other volunteers as well as guests that he had spoken to previously. I did get very upset with him at one point after telling him to clean up after himself and firstly take from freshly cooked foods served for the guests before making the same for himself . I never seemed to reach him in My attempts to share our ways never landed for him .
