Why would anyone agree to this? Because the rewards are immense.
Unbelievable Value: By replacing a paid cleaning staff with a community of responsible Guardians, we can offer you a stay in a very special home for a fraction of the price of a soulless, budget hotel room.
World-Class Locations: You are not staying in a convenient but boring city center. You are staying in places with what are arguably some of the best views in the world—a front-row seat to an Icelandic glacier volcano and the best place to view the Northern Lights in the world (or the best place in Iceland to view birdlife while enjoying the Midnight Sun in the summer season)
True Community: You will meet and share a space with other interesting, independent, and considerate travelers from around the globe. Some of the best travel moments happen over a shared cup of coffee in the morning.
Empowerment: You are not a passive consumer. You are an active, trusted participant in a shared project. This sense of ownership and contribution is something a hotel can never offer.
Supporting a Mission: By staying with us, you are supporting the work of our Charitable Institute and proving that a model based on trust and shared responsibility can thrive in a cynical world.
