This was very different to what I would normally go for living in almost a city, a place with security cameras and cooking on an induction cooker and everything sparkling clean. I was lucky enough to stay in a garden house during my entire stay. The work I did was also quite different, I was tasked with painting the rails on two balconies. It turned out to be much more difficult than I expected and quite challenging in a good way. Stefan let me work at my own pace and do the job as I saw fit. Everything I needed was provided, he also took me on a trip, there were many places to visit nearby.

The experience the home was a very nice stay, I felt very welcomed. Štefan is a very nice guy, respectful and open minded that you can have very interesting talks, nice walks and activities, he has a wonderful guest house very comfortable, the tasks were clear and he was very receptive and kind. Malinovo is approx 45 minutes to Bratislava and there is easy public transport access. I will recommend this experience if you are looking for a nice place to stay in a village and in the nature. Feel free to contact me if any questions :)

Stefan and his family were amazing! He was very helpful and the tasks were easy. I cut his grass, cleaned the house and made a few meals. The accommodation was at the back of the house. It was an apartment with your own shower and small kitchen. Although my stay was enjoyable there is not much to do in Malinovo. Bratislava is a 30 minute bus ride away so just keep that in mind. That said I had a very relaxing week in malinovo and would recommend this stay to someone who is looking for a peaceful couple of days. Feel free to message me about my experience! Thanks

The accommodation is comfortable and the neighborhood is very quiet.
There are buses and supermarkets nearby and easily accessible.
The days are relaxed, and the host offers lunch.
Stefan is polite and always welcoming.
The tasks require strength, and I would recommend the gardening part more for men.
