Olive trees harvesting in Croatia

If you are a real volunteer (not someone hunting for free food/free accommodation) for sure you will have an amazing time here! Robert is an authentic person and once you understand him and his way of life things just flow with ease! Picking olives was awesome and unique experience! The food was so good, Fatima and Amir were always ready to feed me with the best delights. I also helped in the restaurant (a lot of organizing), cleaning and recycling. And at the end of the day I was blessed with unbelievables sunsets. Do what you are here for and get what you deserve! Robert, you rock!

Staying and working at Guesthouse Gardina was a great start to my volunteer work and travel experience. Robert and the team are all welcoming and warm hearted people. The town is very relaxed and beautiful. The work is diverse and you can learn a lot as well as pick up interesting skills. It's a great place to visit and I'd happily go back!

The place is beautiful and peaceful. The food is always very good. The accommodation I stayed in was new, so there was no water or electricity, but we were offered another one if we wanted to change within a few days. Working hours are respected, and the work is relaxed. Sometimes communication wasn't clear, which led to some arguments, but nothing serious.

Amazing place! Tasks are simple: cleaning, doing laundry, keeping everything organized and functioning and some times helping in the restaurant. Once you know what to do, you're quite independent and manage your own hours. The accommodation is 1.3km away but there are bikes and a car available to use. Robert is also very flexible and let us use the car to drive to Orebić for the day. The food was okay, they prepare it at the restaurant. I'm vegetarian so I did have to buy my own protein at times unless I wanted to eat salad/pasta only. Overall, it was a great experience!

A beautifully stunning location with warm locals. Comfortable accommodation within the hotel and amazing meals cooked by the chefs. Hours are a little flexible because you are like part of the family and the place needs something done at all times. Robert has a wonderful sense of humor and wants to know your feedback throughout the experience. The daily tasks were slightly different which kept it fun and exciting. Don't allow yourself to take anything too personal here and you will be just fine! the inn, Thank you for taking great care of me this past month and helping me to learn!!!

I truly felt like a part of the family! I learned a lot about local culture and olive farming. The place wasn't easy to get to but the host helped me to get there and back. We had some problems with communication in English but figured everything out eventually. If you love olives and fresh fish this place is for you!

The island is beautiful and calm, and the food prepared by the restaurant chefs is good. I helped prepare the hotel rooms, do laundry, and pick figs.

Pros: - beaches are really beautiful and the village is very tranquil and peaceful. We had a great time in that enjoyable environment. - Most of the staff were also really helpful and friendly. Cons: - There were numerous of miscommunication issues, the restaurant owner didn't know exactly me and my friend were going to volunteer until that morning. Regarding the tasks allocation, it was extremely unclear. The owner didn't mention clearly what tasks we have to do and instead just claimed that “you would know what you should do if you treat it as your home” and has been sarcastic all the time

I had a great experience volunteering at the inn. The place itself is amazing; immediate waterfront and beautiful sunsets, delicious food freshly made for every meal, kind and generous people. The work is reasonable with a lot of variety and the working hours are respected, but the work can be very unorganized and we were often given insufficient or contradictory instructions to our tasks. You will be given harsh feedback both to your face and behind your back, but in the end the owner and his team are awesome and always want to make sure you're comfortable. I truly enjoyed my time here!
