Pak Taufik, his wife Mba' Rohma, their family, and neighbors are the most welcoming people! After 8 years abroad, staying here reminded me how warm and hospitable Indonesians truly are. Life on their permaculture farm is beautifully relaxing. I enjoyed helping with chores, exploring rice fields, and eating fresh vegetables from the community - with sambal of course! - also Pisang Goreng and coffee! A highlight was celebrating Eid al-Adha with them—a wonderful reminder of how culturally rich and diverse Indonesia is. Thank you so much to the entire family for this experience.

Mister Tauvick and his wife are very welcoming 😊 they taught us great dishes, and they showed us around by scooter. It was really a great experience far from what we know in France. If you are looking to be immersed in Indonesian culture with locals with a great sense of hospitality, this experience is for you!

I enjoyed every moment of my stay at Lajer Pote. Taufick and Rohma are the most genuine and kind people and they, as well as all the other lovely people I met through the project, makes you feel very welcomed. I learnt a lot about local plants, culture and food and helped in the community and with teaching english. Thank you for welcoming me! 🙏🌱🙌

It was an amazing experience from the first moment! Mr. Achmad Tauvick and his wife will make sure you feel welcomed, comfortable and not hungry during your stay. 😋They prepare delicious local food from very early in the morning and will make sure you feel satisfied and good helping you with anything you need or request. The working hours were really flexible so you'll have time for yourself and for connecting with the students and people from the village. Also you can borrow bikes or the motorbike if you have a license, otherwise they will be happy to take you to visit many places around.

Mr. Taufik, his family, and the whole village were very friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone who truly wants to see what living in a village is like. I hoped to to get to teach more English than I actually did but this was partially due to the weather and being there during the rainy season. Overall a great experience.

We had an incredible experience with Mr. Taufik's family. We received a wonderful welcome in a quiet and comfortable home. The village is beautiful, and the community offers peace and tranquility. Mr. Taufik offered us a great program focused on the children's education, Indonesian culture, and farming. He was attentive and very protective. Thank you to him and the entire village; we highly recommend this experience and will definitely return.

My experience at the community was totally amazing because I learned a lot about culture, cuisine, and sustainability. Mr. Achmad has an interesting program related to education for children, where he teaches ecological principles and English as a second language. In addition, the hospitality from him and his family was absolutely wonderful — they have such good souls. Highly recommended, 100 per cent!

It was a very new and unusual experience for me, i'm really grateful to Taufik and Rohma for providing me with everything i needed. thank you guys for being so understanding, patient, loving, and supportive all the time, you are friends & family to me! locals are also very nice, although sometimes it was unusual to communicate only by vibe with some people, yet there are few people i will remember forever. i do recommend this experience to everyone who wants to experience something new and close to the roots, as you gonna be surrounded by beautiful nature and people:)

My experience at Lajer Pote was truly great. Taufik and the whole community welcomed me warmly and made me feel like one of them throughout my stay. We worked together in the community, where I learned about permaculture as well as local traditions. I even learned how to cook many typical dishes. I was really able to dive deep into the local culture, while also having the chance to explore many interesting places nearby. I would definitely recommend Lajer Pote to any traveler looking for a genuine connection with the local culture.
