I built walls in the garden and installed windows. I mainly did hands-on construction and maintenance work, which was not exactly what was described in the original listing. However, I enjoy working with my hands and doing practical work, so I didn't mind at all. Gheorghe was very kind, helpful, and accommodating. Overall, I really enjoyed my time there and was happy to put my practical skills to good use.

I loved living in Madaras and helping in the guest house, the place truly started to feel like home. George and Adelina were really nice and made sure we were comfortable. First it was a little hard to communicate because of the language barrier but we learned a way to understand eachother. George took us to lot of places outside of Madaras and we got to see a lot. I will never forget about this experience and the people I met, forever grateful!

Our experience was amazing. George and Adelina are so wellcoming and they took great care of us and made sure we were always comfortable. George took us to amazing trips to see sights and we are very greatful of that. The tasks aren’t hard and the hours very flexible. I really recommend.

The tasks varies a lot and usually involve carrying stuff so sometimes it gets physically tiring. Also there's no fixed schedule at all. We just stay behind the host waiting for his requests. The host (Gheorghe) barely speaks english so it's really hard to communicate with him, due to that sometimes it gets also mentally tiring. The place is in Madaras, a really tiny town and there's nothing to see or to do, so I'd recommend to someone who wanna just get disconnected. Adelina (Gheorghe's wife) speaks great english and is very kind. She doesn't live in the same place tho.

We had a wonderful time in Satu Mare/Mădăras with Gheorghe and Adelina. They are wonderful hosts and northern Romania is an interesting and beautiful place to stay. The work was predominantly working around the guesthouse and helping Gheroghe. We enjoyed learning about Romanian culture and trying the local food!
