My experience working this summer was fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone. The team was incredibly thoughtful and supportive, always ensuring that I was comfortable and had everything I needed. From the very beginning, they made me feel welcome and appreciated. What stood out the most was how much they cared about me. Not only were the tasks simple and easy to manage, but they also made sure to take me wherever I needed to go, which made my time there even more enjoyable. The environment was friendly, and I always felt like I was in good hands.

It was a fantastic experience for me. I recommend it to everyone. Helene and Melania were kind and helpful; you could talk to them about everything. I received a warm welcome, and my stay there was enjoyable. I had the opportunity to explore Denmark better, which was significantly contributed by the people there. I had the chance to try different homemade Danish dishes; they were amazingly delicious. The Hotel itself is beautiful and clean; I enjoyed staying there. The nature surrounding the Hotel was excellent and magical. I am grateful for everything.

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.
