This is a very relaxed work-exchange with plenty of free time for you! On average, there is only about 1.5 hours of work per day (around 10-12 hours per week in total), depending on how many guests check out. In return, you get a free bed in our shared room (with your own locker) and can upgrade to a private room for free whenever one is vacant.
Tasks take place after check-out (usually starting around 10:00 AM). Depending on bookings, some days only take 1 hour, busier days a bit more (averaging ~1.5 hours/day). Your tasks: stripping and making beds, cleaning the bathrooms, kitchen, and hallways, taking out trash, and doing guest laundry (washing/drying bedsheets and towels). Once the rooms are ready, the rest of the day is yours!
- Be reliable and ready on time at 10:00 AM so incoming guests have clean rooms.
- Work systematically and with attention to detail.
- If you sleep in a vacant private room, it must be cleaned and ready by 10:00 AM if a paying guest books it.
- Treat our house and guests with respect and keep shared areas tidy.
