I had a nice experience in the guest house, I could pick up a bit of Dutch and paint a looot, which I really enjoyed. Tasks were mostly maintenance and preparing for winter. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, there are so many lakes in the area and loads of possibilities to go hiking or biking nearby with very nice views. I think, looking back, it would have been nice if there was another volunteer staying at the same time but I have nevertheless been integrated into the family quite good.

I feel truly grateful to have had the chance to volunteer at Tolbsvo Inn. It's a beautiful place with lots of nature to discover, and their family is very friendly. Being the only volunteer was sometimes lonely, but they made sure I was included and I ended up loving my time with them!! The tasks were very very varied, which I loved. I picked berries, helped in the kitchen, painted, cut some weeds,… Very fun and easy. I think this is a great opportunity if you're looking for a break in nature, to rest and spend time on your own & with their family! Thank you Ilse and Reinder 🫶

I had the best experience I could have hoped for here at Tolvbso. It was my first time volunteering, but from day 1 on, I felt at home. They are such welcoming, kindhearted people. Our tasks mostly included cooking and cleaning in the kitchen. The work was a lot of fun, and time would fly by. Having other volunteers there with you was also an amazing way to make new friends- we would play cards, go for walks, watch movies, and enjoy hikes. Overall, would 100% recommend, especially if you want a break from city life. Thank you so much, Roswitha, Ilse, and Reinder, for this wonderful time!

Volunteering at the guest house during the Julbord period, a Christmas dinner table that runs for an entire month, was absolutely amazing. The work was varied and work hours were always respected, but above all, it felt like I had a second home here. Ilse and Reinder, the new owners, are amazing people and were always making sure that everything was okay. During my stay, together with the previous owner, they put so much love into this place, which made it feel more like helping out than working. The surrounding area is also breathtaking with lots of magical walks that you can take in the forest

We had an amazing time at the guest house. Every single day was so much fun, we were always learning new things. We had very varied tasks including dog-walking, gardenwork, cooking, baking, painting, cleaning, packing and many many more. This made sure that no two days felt the same and every single day kept us learning. They were the kindest, most welcoming, most generous people who did everything they can to make us feel at home and succeeded greatly at it. We also met volunteers from different countries and after our hours we would enjoy the great nature in the guest house together. I'd love to go again!

We had an amazing experience at the guest house. We did lots of various tasks, including walking the dogs, cooking, baking, garden work, cleaning, painting, packing and much more. No two days were the same, which kept things fresh and new for the day and made sure we were always learning something new. They are the kindest, most welcoming, and generous people, and they truly made us feel at home at the guest house. They really made us feel like members of a community. We are forever thankful and will never forget our time there.

What an amazing experience! They are extremely welcoming and kind people. Working there had a lot of variation from picking berries, helping in the kitching, walking with the dogs, till working on fences. I met with other volunteers all over the world. Most of the time, we were together doing tasks, but also in our spare time, we would hang out at the nearby lake or play board games. Combining the diverese taks and doing other fun things in the spare time, makes this experience actual amazing. Thank you so much for everything!

Dear Roos,
Roos helped us several weeks with al kinds of different tasks, not only practical (garden, kitchen, moving things) but even with keeping an eye on two children (8 & 10) and keeping them busy with activities. And, oh yes, with loving dogs and taking them out on long promenades.
We experienced her as one of our best and most positive volunteers during al these years. Thank you again Roos and good luck in the future....you will succeed, no doubt!

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
