Rachel explained us very well all the work and chores we had to do during our 3 weeks, which allowed us to not feeling bored. The work is fun and goes to picking up rubbish, cleaning the beautiful terrasse outside while enjoying the sun and the view over the wonderful mountains, doing list of the material, etc... All of this in the city of Vang Vieng which give you a good balance between close nature and all commodities for food and bars. Oh, also there is a kayak you can use for free on the nice river!

Here you'll get the opportunity to meet an interesting community of travelers while contributing & developing your skills in a BEAUTIFUL setting! I helped them redo the website for Yoga in Vang Vieng, do photos/videos for classes & advise on social media marketing. In return, I got a nice private room, plus daily breakfast and lunch. It's a fair exchange with many lovely people to interact with.
There were issues with another team member who was needlessly abrasive, which I found quite disturbing. However, I believe she will be leaving after this month. I still loved my experience overall!

Had such a good time here!, it was low season so was a bit quiet. However, did have a very good experience with the local people/tourists and other volunteers who were also there!. Rachel was very helpful with anything needed!. And hope to return when time comes. Thank you for the experience!!

Rachel is an amazing person and a great host! The hotel staff as well as the bar staff are super friendly and helpful, although you need to adapt a little and learn lao language a little. Located in the heart of VangVieng, it leaves you ton of time to explore the city and around it! Definitely recommend for people that want to connect with nature, explore Lao culture, and get in touch with locals.

Volunteering at the hotel was a great experience. The host Rachel🌸is kind, welcoming, and supportive in oll possible ways. The nature around is truly beautiful with lush mountains, a peaceful river, and quiet surroundings make it a perfect place to relax. The staff is cooperative, warm people they are and maintain the place with high sanitary standards. Discounts on extra activities like yoga or muay Thai if one is interested. I have enjoyed my time here learning about local culture and food. After the volunteering time is over one has enough time to explore the places around.🤍

This experience has been very fruitful and great for integrating learning and skills transfer. I have been able to develop social marketing strategies for the hotel that will be resourceful to grow their social media presence especially in platforms such TikTok which are fast growing . I have created documents that they can refer to when I am gone and be able to learn to monetise, grow and audit their social media across different business. I have also assisted in simplifying social media strategies so that they can be able to use them on a day-to-day basis for growth.

My time with the ponies was really precious and I enjoyed getting to know each of them.
I worked with another lady who was lovely and we worked together really well.
Rachel is a hardworking, lovely lady who I am so glad I met in Vang Vieng.

I've been through an unexpected experiece and requested WP Safeguard thanks to the supporting team. In general the host not respect the job task and obviously does not do pre-alignment and consider they is the boss. I was there for the pony caring job originally and then the host have another nonWP same time ( staying longer ) , the host asked me to do street cleaning and pick up trash one the second morning when I just arrived the stable. I refused without a poper communication before hand for me to understand and think, so the host asked me to leave immediately that day.

Me encanto este lugar, se siente una tranquilidad en el ambiente y los colaboradores del hotel son amables. Desde un inicio el anfitrión es claro con las tareas y horarios, eso es importante porque así pude organizar mi tiempo para poder conocer un poco de la ciudad. Rachel y Tik fueron anfitrionas muy amables y generosas, siempre indicándonos las cosas con respeto. Recomiendo este lugar a ojo cerrado, fue una experiencia inolvidable, seguramente volveria en otro momento.
