Laurine and Syed are 10/10 hosts—friendly, generous, and so welcoming. They provide an apartment for volunteers, with filtered water, a ceiling fan that keeps the space cool, and even a pool! The work is fun and easy. I found the bottling, labelling and stamping to be quite relaxing and very rewarding as the host tastes amazing! Syed and Laurine introduced us to their friends, who are also lovely. They invited us along to open mic music nights and many fun activities around the island. They showed us the best food places and taught us about Malay culture& history. I 100% recommend!

This is an incredible experience! It was the best worldpacker experience so far! Learning how to make the host from scratch was so cool, especially getting to try all the local flavors and take home a scoby. Laurine and Syed are so kind, so many fun lunches out trying local foods, even a birthday boat trip. The accommodation is the best! Full kitchen, bathroom and a pool! You should definitely come to Langkawi! island vibes ✨🏝️ 🌺 🌊 already missing it!

I had a great time with Laurine&Syed doing the host. It was great to learn and good work hs, easy tasks and it's possible to explore the beautiful island. The communication was very clear, and they also invited us to hang out with them and their cool friends. But, if you're a low budget traveller, this might not be a good option. You'll need a bike / grab. If you plan to go walking, the distance is around 1h. I had lucky, cuz we managed some rides from half the way. The house is really cozy, but our mobile network doesn't work properly there, so you'll need to go to a cafe w/ WiFi.
