Daan was very welcoming and sociable. We had serveral interesting convos and fun game sessions. I especially appreciated that he was checking in to make sure I was having a good time and was willing to adjust some things if needed. When I was staying there, it was a bit more quiet, so your experience might look a bit different depending how busy the hostal is. In any case, the nature is absolutely breathtaking and I think it's great what Daan is building. So long as you're comfortable with remoteness, wilderness and a more basic and natural way of living, I think you'll have a great time.

The experience was exactly what I expected work wise : I had full liberty of what I could provide and we set a 2 months program for the social medias, which is nice ! We discovered the vegan lifestyle and are still applying it to this day, Dazn was really welcoming (and understanding 😉), I would recommend if you want to disconnect, meet new people and learn new things !

My experience at the hostelwas positive. I took care of the kitchen and meals for volunteers and guests, I had fun and nothing is missing in the kitchen. Cats and dogs are lovely, there are many animals and birds around, that you can observe. I spent my time in good company, playing cards with the guys, and enjoying the river nearby. Great place to reset mind and body. Thank you Daan for everything and for teaching me how to make your excellent seitan and babaganoush ❤️

Had a great experience at thethethethe hostel: the place is truly beautiful and completely immersed in nature, where you can see stunning birds, monkeys, and insects, and there's a lovely river where you can swim. Daan was a great host: I worked side by side with him the whole time, and he taught me many woodworking skills along the way. He's also a very interesting person, and in our free time, we chatted about the environment, science, and current events, watched soccer games together, and played cards.

The time at hostelwas magical. Being so immersed in the beautiful nature surrounded by like-minded and kind people. I was there over the holiday period when the pace was a little slower, but we completed many kitchen upgrades and learned a lot about eating as zero waste as possible with the local plants.
