I had a lovely experience in Luz Saint Sauveur with Sam, Damien and Theo! We enjoyed lots of lunches together where we had many great conversations. I really enjoyed spending time with sweet Theo. the work was well explained and only a few hours a day. The private room you have is so nice and cosy! 100% recommend and I hope to visit again sometime :)

Damian and Samantha and their place are amazing! Both of them showed so much interest and remembered almost everything we told them. They take great value in their guests and what the hostel think of their place and remember a lot about them as well :) we felt at home immediately and the lunches together (with teo ofc) we're great as well. The food was as good as the conversations we had in which we talked about anything and everything. The working hours were great and both Damian and Sam were always ready to help in case we needed something

We had a really good time during our stay here. Samatha and Damien are amazing hosts and really nice and caring people. Everything went as planned and their hostel is a really cozy and nice place. The work was clear and easy to do with a lot of time left to discover the beautiful Pyrenees! I could only recommend this experience!

Samantha and Damien were wonderful hosts! Communication was great before I got there and for the duration of my stay. We had the most beautiful homemade lunches every day, and I had a lovely room, as well as the shared spaces in the backpacker were so nice to hang out in. The work was very clear and the hours were always respected, including days off and plenty of time to explore the Pyrenees! Luz is a gorgeous mountain town, and I will absolutely return! Thank you Sam, Damien and Teo for providing me a home in France, I am so grateful for the experience and would highly recommend to anyone!

Samantha and Damien (and their son Teo) were a delight to stay with. This was my first solo trip, and was even better than expected! We shared lunch together everyday, made by them, which was always fresh and delicious. The work was quick and easy, meaning I had the rest of the day to explore town and go on hikes. They are happy to show you the best hikes around, and provide help with any questions. Luz Saint Sauzeur is a beautiful town engulfed by mountains, the perfect place to relax. I wish I stayed longer and I definitely recommend! *especially if you love hiking

The hosts Damien and Samantha were super nice and cooperative. The work was very well organised and the working hours were also well managed, they were also very cooperative to adjust the hours for the days where I would want to do something on that day. The facilities were fantastic, I could comfortably work for my other projects online without any issues, and everything else if rather better than what is mentioned on the website. It was my first experience and I was a bit sceptical initially, but now I am quite motivated to da few more of these!

Not enough words to describe how amazing my experience was! Sam and Damien are an incredible couple. The work is so simple for only a few hours a day, meaning there is so much free time to explore the Pyrenees! They cook amazing nutritious food and had the best recommendations for hikes! My room was so lovely and guests were always super friendly

Thank you so much Sam, Damien and little Teo for having me in your hostel team! I stayed for a month volunteering at the hostel, and it felt very homely. We would work in the mornings, doing housekeeping, cleaning, small renovation tasks and/or some babysitting the lovely little Teo. Merci Damien for teaching me painting, grouting, and of course, how to blitz clean a bathroom block to get it sparkling ! Having lunches by Sam together on the terrasse, and chatting out in the sunshine was always the highlight of the day! They were very generous with suggestions for hikes and activities. Merci !

We couldn't thank you e ough Mackenzie you were really a fantastic volunteer. Sorry it's taken me so long to find this page! I wanted to leave you a raving review but was too late :( Mackenzie is just a shining light, so willing, smart, helpful, interesting and super human being! Genuinely one of the best volunteers we've hosted in 8 years

This was my first volunteering experience and it was even better than I expected. I loved staying there! Sam and Damien were both great! The job was pretty easy, cleaning, housekeeping and looking after the cute Teo who I really got to care about. We had a delicious lunch together everyday. During my stay I met so many incredible people from all over the world and had some fun social nights and days. Also became great friends with the other volunteer. I was supposed to stay there for 3 weeks but extended it another 2 weeks. The hostel felt like a home away from home. Really would recommend!
