Positive: 1. The host is flexible changing work schedules. 2. The place is beautiful, very quiet. 2. The food is delicious. Negative: 1. They gave me a dirty place to sleep, I had to clean it and there was no bathroom nearvy, it is located in a situable place. 2. The pictures are not the same as the actual accommodation, they gave me a trailer to sleep in. 3. They didn't give me good tools to do my job, everything was very neglected.

La comida es muy buena y hay bebida a disposición. Flexibilidad para cambiar los horarios de trabajo. El personal y la madre de Robert fueron gentiles. El pueblo es muy lindo. Dormimos en un camper (no es ni + ni -, estaría bueno que lo pusieran en la descripción). Lo malo es que el baño estaba a 100m, este no estaba en buenas condiciones y en un lugar inapropiado. No nos otorgaron los elementos de protección para trabajar. El vehículo y el lugar trabajo eran inseguros, estaban sucios y desordenados. El anfitrión podría mejorar las formas de comunicarse y los tratos para con los voluntarios.

Las fotos no coinciden con lo visto, tuvimos que dormir en caravan y utilizar un baño que estaba en el restaurante. El transporte en el que viajamos y el espacio de trabajo eran inseguros, estaba muy sucio y había mucho desorden. La comunicación y formas son un gran punto que podría mejorar el anfitrión. No permite otras formas de hacer las tareas. Fue flexible con el cambio de horarios. La comida era muy rica, había bebidas y café a disposición nuestra. Muchas personas del equipo fueron muy gentiles y amables con nosotros. Pudimos disfrutar del mar, hacer snorkel, tabla surf y trekking.

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and it was incredible. Robert is a heartfelt person who wants to get to know you and also share his thoughts about life with you. The staff is also heartwarming once you warm up to them. The tasks are mainly physical and sometimes difficult, but Robert is flexible to your abilities. The peninsula is incredibly beautiful and offers many opportunities to connect with nature and exercise. Other than my stay in a caravan without sanitary facilities (these were provided in the restaurant 100m away) there is nothing to complain about.

I would agree with the other reviews. Pros: - Beautiful town, beaches and food. - There were some super kind workers there who we really liked. - Robert and the other workers were very kind when we had to leave due to my mental health. Cons- Doing the dishes/ setting up and cleaning the table for every meal is not included in your daily 5 hours. - I was told we'd mostly be working in the restaurant, but most of our time was spent in the farm which was hard work. (I didn't speak up on this though). - limited positive talk, only criticisms. Only go here if you aren't sensitive.

This was a unique volunteer gig, in a beautiful little seaside town. Some days are hard work outside farming, and some days are working in the restaurant washing dishes or organizing. There were some communication issues with the host - we were often given contradictory instructions which was frustrating. Robert is really big on communication, but ironically sometimes wouldn't communicate effectively with us. Some staff aren't very friendly or respectful when communicating with volunteers. Overall, it was a beautiful place to be and we loved having a private room and bathroom.

Robert exhibits narcissistic and manipulative traits; his kindness masks an offensive demeanor. He used unsafe vehicles without proper permits, forcing us to travel in substandard conditions. I endured until his behavior became violent, prompting me to leave earlier than planned, despite the additional costs. Coexistence was further strained by his partner Tania's hostile attitude towards the volunteers. The island we were staying on offered limited leisure options and was isolated, prompting us to leave early. Moreover, Robert threatened retaliation if he received negative feedback

The experience at Gradida was very good, they make you feel at home and Robert is a very kind person who makes you feel comfortable, welcome and the food is delicious.

I had a great time staying at the inn! I felt very comfortable in my room and I felt very welcomed from the beginning. We had access to snorkels and paddle boards on our time off. The work was all physical but not too hard. It was a great experience to feel immersed with nature when working at the farm. The food was amazing and plentiful. Robert works very hard and appreciates all help.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I had a great time. Robert is a funny and very generous man. I felt that he really wanted to make sure that I was happy during my time in Lovište. He is also extremely busy running his restaurant and olive farm, so I would recommend to someone able to be independent and flexible. Working hours are very well respected. About half in the morning and half in the evening. In your off time you can chill on the beach, snorkel, etc. My accommodation was shared in a room in the B&B. Food was amazing. I will miss the fresh fish :)
