The atmosphere there is indescribably warm and welcomed. You can be part of the projects you are most interested in and your suggestions and thoughts are listened. All your troubles are blown away from your mind when staying and working there.

We had a very pleasant time with Juuli! She was very motivated and open. She always completed the work with confidence and helped create a positive work environment. She is always welcome. :)

My experience was very positive. It's a perfect place to explore mountains, waterfalls, trails and nearby villages. The refuge is rustic, with cabins and a shared dorm, and hygiene could be improved, but you embrace a simple lifestyle with outdoor bathrooms and insects. Work hours (9–13) are respected, and tasks range from cooking and cleaning to gardening and painting. I really appreciate Boris's philosophy, although sometimes his ideas feel too radical and his words too harsh. The strongest part was the family atmosphere, which Jesus helped create in a truly decisive way.

The hostel is a great place to stay if you're looking for a remote location in the mountains and want to get away from the city. The host is also friendly, but we had small disagreements about what we can do for work in his property. Eventually, we solved those, so overall it was okay. I would recommend to check who else is coming to work here and plan to travel together with fellow volunteers because its better to work here as a group.

There were very positive days with Debora. The place, the people who are still here, and I miss them. I enjoyed having her here. She is always welcome to come back.

Overall I had a nice experience and learned a lot while helping build the room outside. The work itself was fair and easy. During my stay, we had many discussions about controversial topics. Boris likes to share his opinions, which often differed from the rest of the group, and these conversations can be mentally draining at times. Best if you enjoy debating different opinions. Sometimes he also got frustrated over small things, like dishes not being washed immediately. I still appreciate the experience, but I think a more relaxed atmosphere would make it even better.

Marcy helped me a lot with the construction. I am very grateful for this, because many volunteers know how to use a hammer or a drill. Privet is very easy to live with and has no great pretensions.

The hostel and surroundings are beautiful.It is remote,but there is a supermarket nearby.It is a great place to meet many different people.The work is varied,and if there is something heavy to carry,we take a break together afterwards.However,the host expects volunteers to continue contributing to projects after work and not withdraw much.He wants volunteers who bring a lot of energy in the morning.He is very honest and enthusiastic in his criticism and may project past experiences onto you,which you need to handle well. Volunteers cooked and washed up.The rooms are nice,the Host is generous.
