Alvaret Hotel & Hostel

Alvaret Hotel & Hostel has 9 rooms, We are located in the little village of Löttorp. We have rental bikes and serves a organic breakfast buffét in the summer months. We are a relaxed and social hotel & hostel with a good quality standard. The hotel place was renovated and restored 2016. We are also a pet friendly place so expect some wagging tails! everything here is about nature and the nearest city is over 1 hour away so be prepared to stay in the country side. I got lots of experience for running my own place by volunteering and I am happy to teach you how to run a small hotel, if you are interested.

We treat our volunteers as good old friends. I am a 34 yo easy going traveller who used live in Australia for a few years before we came back home to Sweden. We have a friendly dog named Lily and 12 chickens. there is a second hostel down the road that also takes volunteers and we hang out all together sometimes. If you feel social you can take a bike and go around to beaches and forrestes. Lots of deers and other animals on the island. The work is mostly cleaning rooms and I expect you to do it good since we are a hotel, dont worry I will teach you and it will be a great experience to acctually know how to clean in a fast way. nobody likes cleaning that much right? we also take turns serving breakfast and taking care of guests plus some other small things that needs done. we eat mostly vegetarian, sometimes chicken or fish but no red meat. you are welcome to buy and eat what you want ofcourse if so. we cook and eat mostly together and hang out in the evenings, perhaps drinking a beer on the beach :) Welcome to our family.

An amazing and quiet place to enjoy nature and the beautiful beaches surrounding the island. Sofie and Henrik are amazing hosts, who spend time with you, cook and let you get to know the local culture.

The tasks are simple and you have enough time to get to know Lottorp, a beautiful island where you can connect with nature and cycle to many places.

The experience was amazing. I spent two months in Löttorp and Sofie and Henrik were very nice and welcoming. The tasks were not so hard to learn and, sometimes I've even spent free time with Sofie, Henrik and our mascotte Lily 🐻‍❄️🐻‍❄️. I recommend many volunteers this experience 'cause it's worth to live nature nearby and to have a previous experience if you want to work in hotels in the future.

Coming to Alvaret Hotel & Hostel was one of the best decisions in my life! I felt welcomed by Sofie, Henrik and other volunteers the moment I got there. The work was not hard at all and could be done in less than 5 hours. We had the rest of the day off and could explore the island by bikes that were provided for us. If you love nature and everything that comes with it, you'll absolutely love it here! Thank you to Sofie and Henrik for being such amazing hosts <3

My experience in Alvaret was fantastic and I absolutely recommend it!!
I felt welcomed since the first moment thanks to Sofie and Henrik who are fantastic people to say the least and could not be more happy to have had this experience.
Löttorp is a truly beautiful city with lots of places to discover surrounded by nature.
The tasks are simple and even if you have no experience it is very easy to learn everything in a few days, also you always have plenty of free time available.
Thanks again for the wonderful experience, for making me feel part of a family and teaching me so many things ♡

Animal and nature lovers, this is your place! Sofie shares love for animals, and you can help with the chickens! You can easilly explore beautiful nature by bikes!
Besides working and exploring if you are looking for improving yourSwedish, Alvaret is also a good fit for that. Sometimes guests, especially children, like to chat with you in Swedish and Sofie and Henrik will kindly speak in Swedish if that is the language you prefer! Not only Swedish but to practise English Alvaret is a great choice because both, Sofie and Henrik, speaksEnglish on a high level.
Thank you Sofie, Henrik, Lily!<3
