I had a wonderful experience staying with Iris and Kaj. They were incredibly kind and welcoming from the very first moment, and I genuinely felt at home throughout my stay. They were also really chill and easygoing when it came to work, always taking my preferences into account and making sure I felt comfortable. I had so much fun getting to know the whole family, and the place itself is absolutely beautiful. I'd highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming host family. Thank you so much for everything!

The guest house was my first Worldpackers experience, and I couldn't have chosen a better place. Iris and Kaj were incredibly welcoming, the work was exactly as agreed, and we loved chatting with them in the kitchen during the evenings. The property is beautiful, the atmosphere is peaceful, and the shared lunches were a great way to meet new people. We always felt appreciated and respected. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxed and memorable experience.

I couldn't have imagined a better place for our first experience. Iris and Kaj are lovely people who made our stay truly amazing. During our stay, they made us feel welcome and included.
The work was not hard at all. There were two shifts: one in the morning (clean the breakfast tables and the rooms) and one in the evening (wash the dishes after dinner).
In between the shifts, we had a few hours to relax by the pool or explore the area by car.
I really enjoyed my time there and I will miss it.
All in all, I definitely recommend staying there!

Iris and Kai are lovely, hardworking people who involved us with all aspects of family and rural BnB life and have become wonderful friends. We worked 2 shifts per day; morning cleaning and dinner service - both communicated well, in-between is free time. As their lives are v.busy with children & bnb duties, clarifying days off in person in advanced is advisable so that they can plan their day. The pool was great as we were there during a heatwave. Accommodation is a lovely en-suite bedroom, privacy is respected. Kai is an amazing chef & Iris is a great designer!

Iris, Kai & their two boys are incredibly kind & welcoming. During our two‑week stay we spent spare time chatting, swimming & watching the World Cup with the family & guests. Kai's cooking is fantastic & Iris's design is beautiful, creating a relaxed, inclusive home with great food, wine & conversation. Days were simple: breakfast, a morning room‑cleaning shift, free time to swim or explore, then an evening shift setting the table, eating & cleaning up. Car hire is recommended, as trains from Paris to Saint‑Amand‑Montrond–Orval are infrequent.
