The Experience

We need support in the everyday maintenance of the House like house-sitting, cleaning-up the rooms, changing the sheets. On weekends it's more busy as hikers arrive and tourist groups arrive, and we need support more in the kitchen background, like cooking pancakes, preparing vegetables, do the washing up. We always work in team so our volunteer can choose the daily task that fits better for him / her.

This month was very beautiful and productive for me! It was a unique experience. The place is up in the hill and open for people who go for hiking. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming and always open to get to know me and make me feel comfortable. Victor is very kind and adjusts the schedule in your needs. Sandor is also a very helpful person that cares a lot! The tasks include cleaning, helping in the kitchen with the pancakes and the vegetables. Week days are slow but weekends have a lot of work. This place is so calming and I would definitely recommend it for someone who loves nature!

This was my first volunteering and I definitely couldn't have chosen a better place! From the first day I felt very welcomed! Viktor is an incredible host! Very kind and always concerned about the well-being of volunteers! And I want to say a special thank you to Sàndor, a permanent employee at the hostel and the person who made my days even more special! He became my friend and we were able to share many moments together! They always respect working hours and always allow you to say how much is enough for you! I definitely recommend this experience for everyone!

What can I say, the best Worldpackers experience I've had so far. Viktor and his team (shoutout to Sándor) are truly amazing, we felt at home right away! Viktor is always available for everything and makes sure you feel comfortable with the work and in the house. He always asked us if we wanted to visit Budapest or Szentendre and he offered us ride to the station! The work is funny and not that hard, we mostly helped with the cleaning and we prepared the pancakes during the weekend. We had plenty of free time to relax or to explore the surroundings. Truly recommend :)

This experience was simply amazing. Viktor and Zsofi made us feel like home from the first moment. Everyone was always kind and happy to help if you had any questions. The work was easy and fun to do as you are always surrounded by amazing and fun people like Sandor, Bea and Maté. In addiction, the place is beautiful and peaceful and just 40 min by train from Budapest. I definitely recommend coming here, you will feel part of a big family 💛 I really hope to come back in the future, thanks for everything!

The hostel is in a great location on the top of a mountain. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The host was nice and caring (he gave us lifts to the city, bought us food and even took us to a local rock concert!). The experience overall was fantastic. There is a lot of hard work, but I got the weekdays free, so it compensates. The internet is unstable, but it's normal for any off grid place. When there's snow, the lakes freeze, and it's truly a winter wonderland <3 I recommend it to everyone.
