Cornelia is a very generous lady. During my stay, she always made sure I felt comfortable and well taken care of. The work itself was not tiring at all, and mostly involved helping her renovate her house. She also has two lovely dogs who are always there to keep you company. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and I really appreciated her kindness and hospitality!

Cornelia is a fantastic host who somehow makes everything look much easier than it actually is. She does her best to make volunteers feel comfortable, and the animals and plants are clearly part of the hosting team too, but their work ethic is questionable.
She's also an amazing cook, so I spent a suspicious amount of my time eating delicious food. We did some woodworking, had a lovely time, and time went so fast!
A genuinely great person, and a pleasure to live with behind the blue doors. I went there as a volunteer and left there as a friend.

Yes, you really are like that; gone as a friend, therefore you and your girlfriend are always warmly welcome here at any time… and we eat, smoke, laugh, and listen to music… 🫂

My month at the guest house completely exceeded my expectations! The place is absolutely beautiful (even more in person than in photos!), but Cornelia and her pets made it special. She is an open-minded person, an amazing cook, and incredibly hospitable—taking me to the capital, the beach, and her friends' farm, which I appreciate from the bottom of my heart. I grew so attached and enjoyed every single day. I am deeply happy to have contributed to the projects and learned so much. This is a story I will never forget. Thank you for everything! 🫶

Cornelia is preparing her garden so it can grow different vegetables and fruits, part of her house is being completely renovated because she wants to host guests in the future. She is a kindhearted person, she takes care of her cats as if they were her children. The place itself has a lot of charm.

The experience with Cornelia and in Krüje is the kind you know will accompany you for the rest of your life! Nature is beautiful and the city has much to show about history and culture. By also getting the chance to meet Cornelia, a great teacher, I learned many new things!
