Volunteering at the camping was a wonderful experience. Hidayat, who manages the property and the team, is incredibly kind, respectful, and welcoming; he always makes sure everyone feels comfortable. The work only takes a couple of hours, twice a week, leaving you with plenty of free time. The tasks are very clear and specific, and Artus, the owner, communicates great. I would definitely come back to volunteer here again! Thank you for making my first volunteering experience so great! I miss the place, the team, and the best little pets (Hazel and Mylo) so much.

I had an amazing time here and can highly recommend this place! Artus, the owner, and Hidayat, who takes care of the place on-site, are both incredibly friendly and always make sure you have everything you need. I also had the chance to meet Artus and his daughter and join them on a beautiful hike to a viewpoint and waterfall in the jungle. I really enjoyed my time here and will definitely come back one day! Thank you for everything Artus and Hidayat!

I had a great time at Forest 8 Senses! The property is very beautiful and quiet with a really nice river. Most of the work is simple, cleaning facilities or clearing leaves and branches from the ground. With the occasional bigger job here and there. There are several activities to do with your down time like hiking, or tubing or traveling around the nearby villages. Forest 8 Senses is a great place for travelers and I highly recommend it for anyone that wants to get in touch with nature.

It was a great experience, except they let the dog run around unleashed over the last few days which made me feel uncomfortable.

I spent one month at the camping and I recommend it! You sleep in a comfy cabin (mattress + mosquito net, no tent). Work is simple (around 20h/week), mostly helping to carry things on a bamboo project or blow leaves on the camping, but you can also start your own with the available materials, free rain. The atmosphere is calm and kind (maybe deserve a little more fun), food is simple but tasty. Artus, the coordinator, visits weekly and is very responsive on phone. the camping is 1h from KL by bus/train, no scooters. Perfect for a peaceful stay in nature.

I had a great experience at the camping. Artus and his team are very knowledgeable and skilled craftsmen. The projects Artus has planned provide a unique opportunity to learn about the potential of bamboo as a building material. While I don't think prior experience in construction is necessary, be prepared to do physical work in the humid Malaysian climate, which can be quite intense over time. Since this project takes place at a campsite, so you will be surrounded by nature and its inhabitants (e.g., insects, ants, etc.), even in the sanitary facilities. Thank you Artus and Agus!
