I felt welcomed since the moment I arrived. Devilal ji, Bhati ji and all the other staff members were sweet and always ready to help. I was given a non-AC room but since it was so hot and humid, I was offered an AC one later. The fort is like 5mins walk and hence I kept going there almost everyday. There wasn't too much work to do so I had time for myself. The work included creating the hotel videos and writing posts about the hotel and Jaisalmer which was fun to do. I would surely recommend this experience for anyone visiting Jaisalmer. They even dropped me to the station late night 🙂

Devi Lal's hospitality and generosity is beyond words. We came during low season, so there was less work than we expected. We spent time hanging out together, and his son would drive us and show us many places. We were even invited to a wedding and birthday party. We will always remember the kind heart of jaisalmer people

My stay at the guest house was great! All of the staff here are very kind and made me feel welcomed immediately. The hotel itself is beautiful, the rooms have lots of character and the rooftop is a great place to relax and enjoy the stunning view of the fort. Devilal was an accommodating host who helped me see all of the sights in Jaisalmer, took care of me when I got sick, and made my experience in India feel authentic. The tasks I did were simple and enjoyable, the trade off was definitely worth it. I got to try new foods, stay in a beautiful place and meet many new people!

Since the moment I set foot in Jaisalmer, the warmth and hospitality of the people enveloped me, making me feel cherished and embraced. Attending the wedding of my host's niece was a heartwarming experience, weaving me intricately into the fabric of their family. Every individual extended their arms to me, embracing me as one of their own. Through my two weeks of volunteering, I not only forged meaningful connections but also gleaned invaluable insights and knowledge. My gratitude towards Devi Ji knows no bounds for granting me this unforgettable journey in the city of golden hearts.

Where to start... From the minute we arrived, we were welcomed into the family. Everyone was beyond lovely. The food was amazing, the tasks were short and super simple leaving me plenty of time to go out and explore the beautiful town. The hotel was beautiful with stunning views on the rooftop and the camel safari tour is out of this world <3 I had a great experience! Thank you so much V and Devilal and the entire team 🩷
