I had a very good time at this place with Marlen, her family and two other Wwoofers that visited! And as everyone else has mentioned in the comments, Marlen cooks delicious food! And I loved how each day between breakfast and lunch we also had a small break in the middle of working with some fruits or busicuits, and water to keep up the good working morale. I also enjoyed the work, visiting the chickens and getting eggs every morning, being in the garden, caring for plants and seeing all the things Marlen grows, and also being able to take care of horses for the first time. I really recommend this place! Its also walking distance to the town Oberhofen beneath with bus connections around the lake! Also the nature is so beautiful, I still miss the view of the mountains!! Thank you Marlen!

We had a good experience staying with Marlen and Wisi. They were welcoming hosts and made us feel comfortable in their home. The work mainly involved gardening, cutting the grass, weeding, planting tomatoes , cabbages and potatoes. Also picked Holunder flowers and learned how to make syrup from it. My favorite one is feeding chickens every morning and taking out their eggs. One of the highlights of our stay was the homemade meals provided twice a day, which were always delicious and gave us a chance to share conversations and learn more about the local culture. Overall, it was a valuable experience and a good opportunity to learn something .

This was my first time wwoofing and it will definitely be hard to beat! The work was very enjoyable, the views were incredible, the food was great, and Marlen was a fanctastic host. We started work around 8am and ended around 2:30pm with a big lunch break in between. After that we had the evenings to ourselves until dinner time where all ate together, and sometimes we got to help cook which was really nice. Theres plenty of beautiful hiking trails nearby and Oberhofen is about a 30 minute walk down the mountain. I was even able to take a weekend trip to Lauterbrunnen on my off days. Overall 10/10 experience if you get the chance to wwoof here don't miss it!

I had a great time at Marlens place! The working hours were very fair and we did something new every day, although there was a lot of snow while I stayed at Paradiesli. Marlen also cooked for us every day (and sometimes the Wwoofers did), and the food was really good! There were three other Wwoofers staying with me at the time and we had a really great time together. Marlen and her family are very nice and I would definitely recommend staying at Paradiesli!

I had the best time with Marlen and Wisi .The work could sometimes be heavy on the body but was never to much or to long and we took breaks in between. Marlen is really caring and creates an amazing atmosphere. The surrounding is stunning and the food Marlen cooked for us was absolutely delicious! I would go back in a heartbeat and I am really grateful for the experience

I had a super lovely time in Oberhofen at Thunersee! Marlen is a beautiful person and it was great to help her around the house, in the garden and with the animals. And it was a gift every morning to wake up to such a special view over the mountains! I hope to be back one day :)
