I had a wonderful experience at the home. It's characterized by incredibly friendly people, good food, and a beautiful house. Aza and his wife are very accommodating and open, which makes communication very easy and makes them great people to talk to. The house is breathtaking, and the work is easy and fun. The other workers are very nice, and I really enjoyed my time with them. The two dogs and the cat are incredibly cute—I was this close to stealing them 😝 All in all, I recommend this experience to everyone.

My sister Maria and me spent one week in this amazing house helping with gardening tasks, cleaning rooms, recieving the guests… Honestly has been an incredible expirience because all the team is so nice, and it's a dream to sleep in that cozy house. We learned a lot about srilankan traditions, food… and we had time to go aroung and discover the kandy gems💎

I highly recommend this volunteer place. It was an amazing experience and a great way to learn about the local culture and community. A big thank you to Kalpana, Dini, and Raja for being so kind, welcoming, and supportive throughout my stay. Also, thank you to our host, Alzarat. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to meet him in person, but everything was well organized and easy to manage. Overall, it was a memorable and rewarding experience, and I would definitely recommend it to future volunteer

This volunteer is amazing. It’s a little paradise in the middle of Kandy, where you feel in a complete other city. The staff and Aza the owner are so sweet and welcoming. They treated me like a princess 💗 The work is mainly helping around the house with the staff, on my side I mainly water the plants, remove leafs, walked the dog/train him, wash dishes, cooked with the chef and help around whenever they need me. I have to say the private room and the food were exceptional, I never had that in any of my 9 volunteers💕 You definitely need to come volunteer here xx

I had a really nice time staying here!! Communication with Azarath was really good, it is on distance because he lives somewhere else but we called almost every day with each other to check in how everything is going, what can be done and if everything was okay:)
I helped out in the kitchen, cleaning the rooms and most important, I had a really fun time together with the locals working there! If you want a relaxed place where you can do you own thing, swim, read, meditate, this is a good place to stay:)
