Voluntourism – a hybrid of 'volunteering’ and ‘tourism’ – enables guests to play an active part in charitable projects during their stay.

Unser Angebot an Voluntourismus-Unterkünften befindet sich in der Entstehung. Die Reiseart ist in der Schweiz eher unbekannt, zumindest in Privatunterkünften. Jeder Unterkunftsanbieter, der künftig hier gelistet ist, erfüllt vorgegebene Kriterien. Damit soll sichergestellt werden, dass Ihre Volunteering-Erfahrung bereichernd und sinnvoll ist.

Non-negotiable criteria for inclusion include the publication of a detailed volunteering program on bnb.ch, including a description of what is offered, and images. The accommodation must offer free or reduced-rate overnight accommodation options, as well as cooking facilities or discounted/free meals, so that you feel well looked-after during your stay.

A further essential aspect is adequate insurance cover for all volunteers, so that you have peace of mind as you work. We would like to emphasize that the content of the volunteering program, including expectations, how the program is run, and the extent to which it achieves its goals are the responsibility of the operator concerned. BnB Switzerland is not involved in these matters. It simply provides a platform to facilitate these valuable interactions between visitors and accommodation providers.

Enjoy this unique way of experiencing Switzerland, and use your trip to make a lasting positive impression. Become immersed in the culture, and work hand in hand with the local community!

Sleeping in Straw

Sleeping in straw is a unique experience. You lie on a soft layer of straw in one of the two cosy straw rooms, each with 10 beds. The straw room can also be used alone with a smaller number of people. The beautiful outdoor area with its playground and trampoline, well-kept toilets, and a shower are at your disposal.

My Rose Garden

When the garden is most beautiful (the month of June), I invite guests every year to share with them the wealth of countless flowers in this stimulating environment. Both the historic and the English roses attract with their seductive fragrances. The climbing and rambler roses enchant the pavilions and provide a pleasant shade in which to linger.
