Overall this was an amazing experience! Céline was kind and I became friends with the other volunteers and many of the people staying at the hostel. The work was easy and I always finished in the agreed hours. There was so much to do in the hostel and neighboring towns even in winter! Thank you so much for having me! I would definitely come back and highly recommend to anyone!

I had a wonderful time in the hostel! The work is straightforward. Céline and Alex are very nice and always there to help if you have any questions. the hostel is really beautiful; it’s a perfect place to visit if you love hiking and biking or simply want to relax. You’ll have a lot of opportunities to meet travellers from all around the world and get to practice French. Thanks for everything Céline, Alex, Sara and Jenna!

I really enjoyed my experience at the hostel. I cleaned rooms and made beds. I was rostered for 3 hrs 5 days a week but I only worked the whole 3hrs once. I worked mostly on my own and this wasn’t an issue. Céline would help if there were a lot of check outs. Céline and her brothers were all very helpful and nice. I loved the hostel, there’s lots to do if you enjoy the outdoors. This was my first work exchange experience and I would recommend applying.
