The Experience

We are a young, cool and dynamic couple, and we love meeting friendly, respectful people with good energy. We are looking for volunteers to give us a little helping hand with cleaning and tidying up our little corner of paradise. It mainly involves helping us keep the place clean, pleasant, and welcoming. We are looking for autonomous, motivated, and serious people.

We had a beautiful experience at the guest house! The work was mostly cleaning of rooms after guests leave, helping with breakfast preparation and maintaining the various amenities around the guest house. Most days we were done early and could explore Toulon or enjoy the pool. Tom and Farid made us both feel very welcome, inviting us to family events, introducing us to friends and making our time in France very memorable. Having previous cleaning experience would definitely be an asset as the quality needs to be high. This is a true gem of Worldpackers and we are very thankful for our time here.

This was my first volunteer and I couldn't ask for a better place and better people for this experience. Tommy and Farid made me feel like home since the first day. They are very polite, respectful and kind, always asking me how I was doing. I got to meet family and friends and we shared very good moments and delicious meals. The work activities are normal house activities and Tommy and Farid are always there helping you and explaining to you. I had the best time here and I will always remember my time here. Merci pour tout! C'était un plaisir d'être avec vous à la maison, à la prochaine! :)

I had to leave this experience earlier than planned due to the host's sudden decision. While I tried to communicate responsibly and politely, the host asked me to leave with only two days’ notice because a family was coming, even though I was scheduled until March 31. I also witnessed unfair treatment of another volunteer, who was made to leave early as well. This situation made it very stressful and difficult to manage my stay. Please consider this before booking, and make sure to clarify expectations and rules clearly with the host.

Some people arrive thinking they are on vacation, as if we were their parents and they could get away with anything. We have no trouble telling someone that they disrespect us in our own home, and we are uncompromising on this point. Unfortunately, we see that some people take advantage of this platform to avoid paying for accommodation. It is regrettable for those who come with real intentions to help, like Diana

It was our first volunteering experience and it could not have gone better! Tommy and Farid made us feel at home; they are two wonderful people. Together they created a super relaxing environment, where everything stops for a moment and only the calm remains. The tasks to be done were simple and sometimes we even finished the work in under five hours. Both give great advice on what to visit, on French culture and in general on life. It was a wonderful experience that we would definitely do again and that we fully recommend!

Tommy and Farid, really, are two amazing people, super respectful, they make you feel very welcome, they are always attentive, they are kind and patient when communicating your tasks, they will always be there to guide you. Whenever they can, they spare a little time to give you tours of the city, or take you to the beach, and not to mention how beautiful their home is and the tranquility it conveys, one of the best experiences with the best people you could meet.
