My experience as a volunteer at the mountain guest house was exceptional✨️. From the first moment, I felt like I was part of the family, surrounded by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. All the members of the family are so sweet💕. Also, the views were breathtaking, making every day special. The tasks assigned to me were fair and respected at all times, allowing me to enjoy plenty of free time to explore nature through amazing hikes. This combination of work and time to enjoy the surroundings made my experience unforgettable. Without a doubt, a place I hope to return to.Highly recommended to go☺

By far the most incredible volunteering experience we have ever had. As cheesy as it sounds they really have made Valbonne a home away from home. Fariah, Gazi and the hostel were the most helpful, welcoming and generous hosts anyone can ask for. They went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Their home is beautiful, the food is delicious and the work hours are fair. Staying for 2 weeks was one of the best decisions of our trip. We are ever grateful for this experience and can't wait to come back to our Albanian family.

Absolutely wonderful experience in such a stunning location! Gazi and his mother and father run a such beautiful guest house and are so welcoming, kind and hardworking. I would highly recommend if you are considering volunteering with them, do! The hours are respected, and the work is very simple too. Cannot thank them enough for their hospitality :)

Our stay in Fahria's and Gaz's place was awesome. The work was quite easy to do and the hours were ok to work. They made us feel at home since day one and also made us feel like if we were part of the family. The room we stayed at was very comfortable and food was always available 🥹 the place is a bit far away from any city so buying stuff is kinda hard to do, but one special thing is doing the hikings around the place, which has very nice views. We loved the experience and also loved getting to know Gaz and Fahria a bit more 🥰 you'll be forever in our hearts 💕
