This was a very positive volunteer experience, I would recommend it to any prospective traveler. The hosts were very accomodating and welcoming, and it didn't feel awkward. The meals provided were very decent, and they made sure to accomodate to allergies which was very nice. The working hours were very reasonable, and I had plenty of spare time to explore the surrounding countryside, which is very beautiful. The hosts provided a lot of information on navigating public transport and on the local attractions, which made it much easier. Their cat, Hey Hey is very cute and friendly.

It was an amazing experience! It was my first time volunteering through Worldpackers, and it couldn't have been better. The work was very easy and straightforward, and they respected all the hours and workdays. The food was good, and they always made sure to check if I liked what they were going to prepare. The hosts were always very friendly and kind. I highly recommend this place if you enjoy a quiet and peaceful environment. I had the chance to explore a bit of the city during my free afternoons and even visited the famous zoo.

I really enjoyed my stay. Thank you Neil and Marie! Routine: serving breakfast, making beds and cleaning from 7:45 to around 12:00, it depends on how busy it is, but the hours are respected. What you get: cozy room and all meals. I recommend if you're looking for a chill place with great accommodation and easy work. Good to practice english, since the owners are english/chinese. Well located to visit castles. I wouldn't recommend if you're looking for a sociable place, bc you work by yourself and the town is quiet. It might be difficult to work remotely because the internet is unstable.

Me fui antes porque no me sentí bien recibida, dijeron que sería tratada como un miembro de la familia pero me sentí como una empleada. Las tareas no son pesadas pero en todos los demás voluntariados el host nos acompaña, no se pone a ver la tele mientras uno trabaja. Era incómodo que compartía baño con los huéspedes entonces mientras alguien se alojaba yo no lo podía usar. Me quedé durante off-season y no tuve los días de descanso que me correspondían porque dijeron que durante la 3º semana estaría libre. Ojalá entiendan que esto es un voluntariado y que "por favor y gracias" hacen maravillas

Dès le début, Veronica semble débordée par le ménage de 3 chambres d'hôtes, c'est loin d'être un travail difficile et a été complètement accompli par de nombreux bénévoles passés avec facilité.

Je demande plusieurs fois si tout se passe bien, mais je n'obtiens jamais de réponse. J'ai donc supposé que tout allait bien.

Il était au mieux difficile d'engager une conversation, et on me dit souvent que je suis une personne assez extravertie,
bien qu'elle ait dit qu'elle avait étudié la gestion d'entreprise.

S'il y a un aspect important que j'ai appris, c'est que la communication est primordiale dans tout rôle commercial pour réussir.

Nous avons dîné tous les soirs avec Veronica, et pas une seule fois elle n'a mentionné son mécontentement à l'égard du poste de bénévole.
Mais en lisant les commentaires précédents de Veronica, on peut dire en tant qu'hôte que tout ne s'est pas bien passé.

Normalement, pendant les périodes plus calmes, nous faisons le ménage nous-mêmes, il me faut environ 3 heures à moi, un homme de 65 ans.
Je m'occupe également du jardinage, de la cuisine et des réparations nécessaires. En tout, je travaille environ 10 heures par jour et, en tant qu'ancien cycliste professionnel, j'essaie de faire du vélo la plupart du temps pour rester raisonnablement en forme et actif.
Et ma partenaire s'occupe de toutes les réservations, des finances et des sites Web de l'entreprise, ce qui lui laisse 60 minutes par jour pour regarder sa télévision préférée, faire de petites promenades et parler à nos enfants à l'université.

Pendant l'été et d'autres périodes chargées,
nous utilisons des bénévoles pour enrichir leur expérience en leur offrant un hébergement gratuit et des repas sains en échange de quelques heures de bénévolat en faisant le ménage dans trois chambres d'hôtes.

Si après avoir lu ceci vous envisagez d'engager ce bénévole, je vous conseille de continuer à faire défiler l'écran.

Marie and Neil are very friendly and communicative. I felt very comfortable with them. I learned a lot about French and English culture from them. The tasks are easy to keep in order. The city is quiet and pleasant. There are movie theater, zoo, castles and restaurants where you can connect with local people

Marie and Neal are the most hospitable people in the region. To all those who's thinking of coming to volunteer with these lovely two, do it. The workload was a bit monotonous after a while, but it is to be expected of the industry. There are a few caveats, such as food vatiety could be more diverse, and your private space isn't always your own, depending on the booking schedule. However, they're very easily overlooked, as your hosts' golden hearts would trump all of them. I definitely recommend them as your next volunteering opportunity.

Marie and Neill welcomed me very well and helped me whenever I needed it. The house is located in a beautiful location surrounded by nature, and the center of town is 15 minutes away by bike (which is always available to use). There is a time limit to return home at night (11 pm) but if that is not a problem for you, everything is fine. My level of English is better after this experience because they were always very patient with communication. Some tasks take a little more time but in general they are simple, between 12 pm and 2 pm they can be finished. I am very grateful!

From the first day Marie and Neil made me feel at home, I told them I liked the music, so they surprised me with a nice dinner with Colombian music. I recommend this experience because you feel part of the family, the location and the house are very nice, the atmosphere is very quiet and the chores take some time but are simple. Marie and Neil are very attentive people, they cared about me and asked me if I needed anything, I will remember this experience with great happiness. Thank you for everything and a very special greeting to HēiHēi.
