I adore Rachael and Mark. They treated me like family from the moment I arrived and went above and beyond the call of duty to be considerate and welcoming. The work was laidback, the accommodation was incredible, and the location was full of things to do - most of all it was a fun and impactful time. I had a wonderful experience and truly cannot recommend it enough.

This was my first world packers experience and I would recommend to anyone wanting to come. It was nice to have my own room with my own bathroom. Everything is within walking distance and easily accessible. Rachel and Mark were very welcoming, the work but simple but can be tiring at times, and you can buy your own food and groceries. I typically worked 10:30-3:30pm, but they can be flexible and allowed me to choose my days off.

I spent a month in the guest house, and it turned out to be a really lovely stay, even if January weather isn't exactly the best here. The work was just what we'd agreed on. Big thanks to Rachael and Mark for being so welcoming!

The guest house was a nice volunteering experience in a beautiful small city. The weekly food money was appreciated, we loved cooking with Gero. Tasks were mainly housekeeping, breakfast hosting and some patio work like painting, gardening, and mold removal. The work standard was very detailed and expectations quite strict for volunteers, though we appreciated the trust given to us. The attic room lacked a proper door and had dust/maybe mold, which caused symptoms during our stay. Not everything matched with me and this place BUT still I am very grateful for this experience!

My experience in the guest house was amazing. The city is beautiful, and the location of the place is excellent. Mark and Rachel were very helpful and guided me through everything to meet their standards. The work isn't difficult, but it can be tiring, so come prepared. Accommodation is comfortable, and you can buy your own food. the guest house is incredible, and I would love to return. The experience is definitely worth it with such kind hosts. Thanks Mark and Rachel <3

That was my second volunteering at WP. I spent 20 days at the stunning the guest house. I felt comfortable from day one. Mark and Rachel are kind n lovely people, always there to help you with a smile on face. I can't thank them enough for for letting me to stay more days, for the delicious dinner, nice talks during the tasks and the tips to do around. the guest house has a beautiful decor n Rachel has a really good eye for it! The house is comfy n has everything that you need! the guest house is wonderful to be in contact with nature. I highly recommend and hope to be able to return one day.

Summer was definitely a busy time at the guest house, but Rachael, Mark and Eve made me feel like part of the family from day one and I can't thank them enough for that. A special thanks to Mark for the delicious dinners, to Rachael for our lovely morning chats and to Eve for her energy and enthusiasm! I also had the chance to properly explore the area and get to know the local culture more deeply thanks to the flexibility with my days off. On top of that, I had the opportunity to meet and talk to guests from all over the world—I highly recommend it as a first Worldpackers experience!

Mark, Rachael and Eve are a gorgeous family! I felt integrated and really enjoyed chatting with them. They gave me valuable advices on places to visit and activities to do. The work is scheduled at the beginning of each week and is super achievable, and I thank them for being very flexible so I could also organize few days trips. the guest house is a fairy town, perfect to those who love to be in touch with nature. The accomodation has everything you need for a long-term stay. Hope to see you again someday! 💫

Mark, Rachel and Eve are a welcoming family, I felt integrated. I really enjoyed the time shared at Townhose. They are respectful and nice people. The work is easy to learn and to do and they have patience to teach. I definitely recommend it and I hope to be able to return one day. The city of Carcassone is wonderful if you love nature.

Hi Sam, It was an absoulute pleasure to get to know you and you were a great help to us. Full of energy and really motivated to do your best.
So good in fact that we use a few of your tips with other volunteers. If anyone is wondering if they should invite you I can say with no hesitation, yes :-)
