Helping hands in restaurant and kitchen.

An unexpected experience after reading comments as I was one of the first volunteers after the restaurant closed. Working hours and days off weren't set from the start and tasks became repetitive, packing and unpacking as the hosts were moving, and walking the dogs, even on days off, which made it difficult to fully rest. There was confusion with our leaving date, which forced us to leave early, at greater expense. We did enjoy lovely dinners cooked by Roswitha, who also introduced us to some Swedish traditions. I am grateful for the experience, and thankful for what I learnt.

A mixed experience, slightly disappointing, however we visited during a challenging time, helping them move house. Jobs were varied, accommodation was decent, dinners were provided and were tasty, breakfast and lunch we made ourselves, but often from a limited selection of foods. I never felt totally at home, and the hosts were often quite pedantic about how things were done. Working hours and days off weren't structured which meant we couldn't plan ahead, and activities on days off were limited. The dogs were often a challenge as they were untrained. Still, I am thankful for the opportunity.

I loved staying at Roswithas and Fridus place. I had the best time and it was the perfect start in my travel year. The working hours were always respected and i had so much fun working that it dident even feel like work. I was here during the Christmas time and it was just perfect. Roswitha and Fridus are both so welcoming and i felt right at home. I had my own room that was a cozy place for some privacy. The Restaurant was a great place to meet up with the other volunteers. We did so much from karaoke night over game evenings and hiking. I would recommend them to 1000 % and miss them already

As soon as I arrived, Fridus & Roswitha made me feel incredibly welcome, which I really appreciated as I was quite nervous. Working hours were respected and, when I was feeling a bit under the weather at one point and worried about letting Fridus & Roswitha down, they were both so kind and understanding about it. I learned a lot, including some local recipes, which I am so excited to try at home for my family in time for Christmas. There's also so much nature and I would absolutely encourage anyone to volunteer here while you can. Their dogs are the absolute cutest and so friendly as well.

I spended one wonderful month in Tolvsbo. Roswitha and Fridus are so kindhearted, creative people who are always cheerful, positive, and generous! I enjoyed having all kinds of different tasks (inside the restaurant and outside). On the days off, I loved spending time with the other volunteers and exploring the beautiful surroundings. Walking the 4 sweet dogs with other volunteers was also something I looked forward to every day! I felt so welcome and can only recommend that place!

My time in Tolvsbo was wonderful. The work in the restaurant was demanding at times, but this was balanced out by plenty of periods for rest and fun, and there was always good communication and understanding around work hours. Roswitha is fantastically organised and creates a very warm atmosphere for everyone; It felt like a home away from home for four weeks.

Two months at Tolvsbo Värdshus flew by! I spent most of my time working outside tackling different projects and getting to use some cool tools and machines, but also helped in the kitchen when needed. I was never bored! The best part was spending time with the other volunteers (we were 10 at some point!) and the friendly dogs in the beautiful surroundings. I also loved our meals together with the amazing food from the buffet and the pizza nights. Fridus and Roswitha were amazing hosts; friendly, patient, generous, flexible, and they loved spending time with us. I had an incredible time!

This was my first volunteering experience with Worldpackers, and it was fantastic. Everyone was incredibly kind and friendly, and Roswitha and Fridus made us feel very welcome from the start. The tasks were enjoyable and not too difficult. We especially loved the nearby lake and the beautiful nature surrounding the area. The accommodation was cozy, and we absolutely loved staying there.

Volunteering in this place has been one of the best decision ever. I was here while the restaurant was opened, so I could help in the kitchen and in the restaurant as a waiter. It was awesome to acquire new knowledge about food, and on how to deal with a quiet new restaurant's dynamics. The help, the tips, the kindness, and some glimpses of history about the place and the restaurant told by Roswitha and Fridus were the icing on the cake to make this experience unforgettable. Other than these, thank you to all the volunteers for creating lifelong memories. I really recommend this experience.
