We had a very pleasant stay. Helene, Melania and Daniel were very kind to us and made our stay as good as possible. Moreover, the tasks to be done were really easy. I would of course repeat and recommend it to anyone but who wants to relax and enjoy themselves.

This is my first exchange on the Worldpackers platform and it was a good experience. Helene, Melania and Daniel are very kind and always hope that you are well. The work is as stipulated, respecting in turn the rest days. Although my English is not very good, they were very patient with me and we were able to communicate. Absolutely, I recommend this experience.

It was our first experience and we couldn't be happier and more grateful! It was a very nice month, everything was perfect. They are very friendly, it was easy to communicate, everything flowed very well. All agreements were respected and they were very respectful of our days off. We were lucky enough to try some Danish dishes and Daniel's fantastic pizzas!

Being at the B&B was wonderful. Helen, Daniel, and Mel are great human beings full of wisdom and are willing to pass it on. I was able to understand the Danish culture and way of seeing and accepting nature. The work is clear and completely manageable. The place is surrounded by nature. It is a magical place. The atmosphere in the house is very pleasant. There are rules as in anyone's house and they must be followed. It was a pleasure to have been able to share with them. I felt at home.

It was my first experience as a volunteer and I can only recommend! Helene and Mel are kind and sweet people. I don't have a very good level in English, especially to express myself, but they were always patient and kind to me. Work is exactly as described, no surprises. The place is so beautiful ! Just go there :)
