I stayed two weeks at Hassan's and it flew by way too fast, I wish I'd stayed longer. Hassan is a great person, very welcoming, funny, and an amazing cook.
He invited me and the other volunteers to spend some time with his family, took us around, introduced us to some of his friends. You'll learn so much during your stay – he's a true connoisseur of the local culture.
The surrounding landscape is stunning too. We helped out with the renovation of his house: the tasks are simple, and there's room for creative input if you feel like it.
A beautiful experience that I will cherish forever!

The experience was really amazing! I stay with Hassan for a few days and everything was how we agreed. He is a really nice person, he take me with his family, we share a meals (delicious food, he is a amazing chef) and a lot of Moroccan mint teas 😋 The place is super quiet, away from town, surround of nature, so peaceful and beautiful! The work is 3 hours per day, helping in the house repair with a lot of time free for chill, walking, hanging out with other volunteers. Thank you for everything and I hope can come back again.

I am so grateful to Hassan and his family for welcoming me into their home, it was so special to stay with them during Ramadan and truly experience the desert life! I learned so much from Hassan about the history of his village and it was so interesting to see the process behind the rebuilding of his home! It is a beautiful area with many villages to explore - super peaceful and quiet! The work is very easy and you are truly treated as part of the family, I would definitely recommend this experience if you are looking to learn more about Moroccan Amazigh culture :)

It was a wonderful experience. Hassan welcomed me into his home, making me feel like part of the family at all times. He showed me his town and introduced me to his loved ones. Tagounite is one big family.
He was always very attentive and friendly. The work wasn't difficult at all.
A great chef, very funny and always ready to chat.
His house is comfortable and spacious, a little far from the village but ideal for those looking for peace and quiet in nature.

I recommend it 100%.

I really enjoyed my time here! I was the only volunteer at the time and I was very peaceful. We relaxed in the day since it was too hot and did work in the evenings. It is very easy and engaging work, and I also helped with dishes/housework. The hosts are indeed incredibly amicable and chill. They made for a very comfortable and safe space when traveling, especially since this was my first work exchange and solo international backpacking trip. I'd recommend to anyone who's looking to experience something very new. I hope to come back soon! Reach out to me and I'll tell you more!! :)
