Simon was an awesome host, helped with daily life and work balance, and support when needed. The staff were lovely people to work with and be around, and the beach was lovely. The accommodation had everything you needed, and I enjoyed the experience at the home.

I had a great experience here and would highly recommend it to anyone considering it. Simon is a fantastic host—friendly, supportive, and always willing to help. The people you work with are welcoming and create a really positive environment. The work itself is rewarding, and it feels good to be part of something meaningful. On top of that, the area where you stay is great, making the overall experience even better. A truly memorable and worthwhile opportunity!

Simon is really professional and organized, but even very humane. He does what he can to help the guests and make the machine work. Shifts schedule is done and sent in advance, then repsected. Provides the rides to and from the activity, and supplies for food. He's the best crewboss, he only asks for respect and common sense. The stay is comfy, but can be tight on high season; matter of organization. It's not in the middle of a crowded city, so plan your movements with Grab and the local Bus Terminal. Bandar Penawar is not crowded, but it's very cheap. I recommend to get in touch with locals.

Loved my time volunteering in Malaysia with the home! Great people, chill vibes, and such a fun team to work with. Simon is incredibly generous and thoughtful — and also a little sassy and hilarious, which honestly made the experience even better. You really feel taken care of here. It's the perfect balance of immersing yourself in Malaysian culture while still having plenty of chill time to slow down, reset, and reconnect with yourself, OR to go and explore in Malaysia on your MANY days off. Would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a meaningful, fun, and laid-back experience.
