Volunteering at the “the guest house” was incredible and enriching. From day one, Ardelina and Gheorge were very kind and concerned about us. The main task was to tidy up the rooms in the guesthouse and also to help with improvements to the outside areas of the house. We became very connected with the local culture and whenever possible they took us to see new places and meet new people. I recommend this volunteer to everyone

I spent a month volunteering at the guest house and really enjoyed my stay. The hosts were welcoming, flexible and friendly. They were kind enough to take me for a day trip to explore the outskirts of Satu Mare, where I got to learn a lot about Romanian culture. I had many opportunities to spend my evenings in the city where I made many friends. The work is simple and easy, all jobs that I did were clearly outlined in the description of the stay before I arrived.

My experience at the guest house was spectacular. Gheorghe and Adelina are very lovely and kind hosts, they showed us to traditional foods and places in Romania and we had a great time together with immersion in local culture and feeling at home. The job was to organized and clean the guests' rooms. I am very happy and satisfied to have been able to help you, thank you for everything.

My time in the traditional house left many teachings in me. Gheorghe and Adelina are very kind people, generous with food. The room where I slept was comfortable. They took us to see beautiful places, and the daily tasks were many but simple to do. I just think Gheorghe should trust more and delegate tasks so progress can be made. I hope to return to Satu Mare someday ☺️✨

I enjoyed my time helping Gheorghe. Since I'm a native English speaker, I feel communication required additional effort on both our parts. Gheorghe and Adelina were extremely welcoming and generous, especially with food. They went out of their way to help me connect with locals and explore the surrounding area. If I had to improve something, I would assume more structure to the tasks. Although this is a personal preference, it didn't take away from completing work. I had a wonderful experience exploring Romania. The experience and time spent was well worth it.
