The Experience

About our place Welcome to our small independent hostel and bungalows in Nong Khiaw, Laos, surrounded by beautiful mountains and nature. This is a real working hostel, not simply a place where volunteers come to stay. I manage the place myself, and reliable volunteers are a great help with the everyday work and maintenance.

I had a great time volunteering at the home. He is a very nice guy and the work was very relaxed. The hostel is beautiful and very peaceful too. Its surrounded by mountains and a beautiful garden. I would highly recommend volunteering there

Petro is a great host who made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The other volunteers and guests were also very friendly, creating a warm and enjoyable atmosphere. One thing I really appreciated was the flexibility of the schedule. I was given the opportunity to create a piece of artwork that will remain and making the experience especially meaningful. I also have to mention the home cooking—he is an excellent cook! Every meal during my stay was delicious, and sharing meals together was one of the highlights of the experience. Thank you for a memorable stay. 🥰

Sophie, besides being a valuable person, works with professionalism and with love for what she does, there were days when she worked on the object (drawing a map of the region) for several hours with skill, completing the best work, the best map of those that exist in Nongkhiaw, the destination of Laos, whatever I write will be little about her skill. Thank you Sophie from the bottom of my heart.

Nous n'avons pas du tout aimer notre expérience et sommes partis avant la fin. on nous a demandé de payer ce qui devait être gratuit initialement (la nourriture). J'ai aider l'hôte à mettre à jour son profil pour que les prochains soient prévenus à l'avance qu'il doivent payer des frais additionnels. On s'est retrouvé à faire le ménage et le jardinage ce qui aurait pu être ok mais nous n'avons reçu aucune reconnaissance pour les taches effectues. La cuisine n'est pas en état de propreté pour faire à manger. En revanche très beau lieu, beaucoup de potentiel à exploiter.

Unfortunately I had a bad experience with the couple, the man was very respectful, a good person with little English but there was a miscommunication, with the woman I have objections, I was forced to make comments such as about the shoes in the hostel, with two comments, bad miscommunication while I told her other things but she understood them negatively, a bad experience that I will no longer accept couples
