This was truly a unique experience thanks to Laurine and Syed! I knew little to nothing about kombucha, but they were so open and patient about teaching us volunteers about everything. The tasks were clearly told to us and as agreed, we had the afternoons and weekends to ourselves. Syed and Laurine even invited us sometimes to join them on some activities like pilates and jamming sessions. I was also able to explore the island in my free time and Laurine made a whole list of things we could visit, which was super useful. Overall I felt welcomed and learned a lot. Definitely recommend!

Langkawi es un lugar especial, es una isla muy bella con una cultura y un ambiente mas relajado que otros lugares de Malasia. La casa de Laurine y Sid es un lugar limpio y agradable con dos cachorros muy lindos. La cantidad de trabajo me parece super razonable y la actitud de los huéspedes me sorprendió para bien. Hay que cuidar el agua en la casa, pero esto no me represento un problema en ningún momento, hay suficiente para hacer cualquier actividad que la requiera.

I had an amazing week in Langkawi thanks to laurine and Sid. It was a perfect mixture of working in the mornings and free time in the afternoons to explore the island- the hosts give plenty of recommendations for places and restaurants to visit. They both share alot of knowledge about kombucha and I would recommend this to everyone especially for those who already have an interest and want to learn more.

I had an amazing stay with Syed and Laurine. They are very loving and open people that welcomes you openly into their house. I had a very fun time staying with Them and they made me get a good insight of Malaysia Culture.

We had an amazing stay with Laurine and Syed! They are so welcoming, fun and loving people. We learned so much about Kombucha, food and Malay culture. Beautiful Island, beautiful people. Make sure to rent a scooter so you can explore the beauty🤩

Volunteering here could be great but issues with both the facilities and the attitude of the hosts meant that we ended up leaving early. They have basically no water which wasn't made clear to us before we arrived. Laurine gives little guidance on tasks, but is critical if you don't do it in the way she expects. She didn't provide us with any food for lunch initially and made us feel uncomfortable when we asked for basic ingredients. Overall, it didn't feel like a mutually beneficial volunteering experience, instead an overstretched small business looking for cheap labour.

Volunteering at Laurine and Syed's Kombucha the host was interesting, but I often felt more like an employee than a volunteer. I spent a lot of time on housekeeping tasks, which felt unnecessary. Communication was poor, with unclear instructions, and Laurine often criticized rather than guiding us. The hosts were rarely around, making support difficult. Lunch were lacking. But this improved after we about it. Laurine's tone often felt critical and commanding. In the end, it felt more like they were looking for free labor than a genuine exchange of help.

This volunteering has great potential, but unfortunately we experienced lots of issues meaning we left early and wouldn't recommend to others. - Extremely limited water (can't shower/wash hands/clean dishes/flush toilet) - Food not provided as advertised. Given nothing for lunch on our first day and had to beg for basic ingredients to cook with - Rat infestation - No blankets for beds and no curtains on dorm windows - Bad attitude from hosts. Laurine is rude when you don't do tasks exactly her way and bad-mouthed other volunteers behind their backs - Treated like employees not volunteers
