Building construction worker with experience

Yo particularmente tuve problemas con el encargado del anfitrión por distintas razones, entre ellas, que ellos mismos no respetarán sus propias reglas de limpieza, y luego, me respondieron con varias acusaciónes falsas que nisiquiera iban al punto, a modo de ataque. Y el Anfitrión estuvo de acuerdo con que me vaya antes de lo acordado. A mí me mostraron su lado más inflexible, injusto y desconsiderado a lo último, pero estuve allá 2 meses, y de no haberme topado con esta faceta de ellos en cuanto al trato personal, es un buen lugar, y una experiencia única si te gustan los caballos

I had a really good experience in the lodge. I enjoyed my stay and I could learn a lot of interesting things. I felt really comfortable with the environtment and the treatment I recived. You need to be flexible with the work's schedule and the tasks you have to do, but you can always talk with Igor, and you will find a solution together. So grateful for all this great experience :))

Being in this place was a very good experience, where we learned to do different jobs and helped in what was needed. We could relate to the Balkan culture. Thank you Igor and Marina for the opportunity, hospitality and all the good memories we take. Every day was an adventure and I am more than happy with what I experienced in these weeks.

Been in the farm was a truly unique and amazing experience. I really like to be in this place and contributed with some work while interacting with nature. The tasks are always different and sometimes are physically demanding but normally are easy. You're going to sleep in a tent that's apart of the main house but in general it's a ok place to sleep. Igor and Marina are really nice hosts and actually we feel really welcome there while you interact daily with them. Sometimes you have to help with the horses so it's better to you no be afraid of them.

Volunteering in the lodge was a truly amazing experience! I made great connections with both the volunteers and workers. Working hours are respected, as well as rest days. the lodge is a very isolated place and travelling around can be difficult, but it was refreshing to be so isolated! I am vegetarian and was accommodated for well and ate delicious meals every day. In terms of the work, it was slightly different to what was described on the description, but the work was still enjoyable and I learnt valuable skills to do with construction. Igor is a very nice man and a perfect host for volunteers!

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and it was largely positive. My main tasks were cooking, doing dishes, various cleaning up around the property, and helping with a construction project. There was some heavy physical work but that's what I wanted. I enjoyed working with the local guys and foreign volunteers. This was really the kind of place where you had to just jump in and do what was needed--the property was being developed when I was there (late May 2023). Things were changing a lot, and I'm glad I could help with that. There were plenty of chances to interact with horses!

Este fue mi primer voluntariado y fue genial, Igor y el equipo fueron muy amables desde el día 1, aprendí nuevas cosas en inglés e incluso en serbio y pude practicar el idioma ya que habían voluntarios de todas partes, lo único regular es que en ciertos momentos no había claridad sobre las tareas a realizar durante el día... pero nada grave :)El contacto con la naturaleza y la paz que se respira en el lugar es increíble!!!!

Well, Igor is a guy with a huge heart and a lot of life experience, he is a person who has A LOT of things to teach and share! My experience was excellent, schedules were respected and communication was clear at all times! Every meal is amazing, and you're never left hungry! In addition to the fact that all meals are eaten together, this is a great way to exchange experiences and connect! The property is on a mountain with incredible views, many places to walk and waterfalls to visit! I learned a lot about construction, sustainability and respect for nature. Thanks so much for all!

Igor is a hospitable man. However Free days weren't respected, there is a strong feeling of a labour camp with a semi-hospitable atmosphere. Expect staff to be toxic and overwhelmingly demanding for such living conditions. Alcohol will be provided but probably to make you calm and satisfied with your volunteering (free slave labour (not my words)). Constant and big problems with water, don't expect to take a shower every day. No religion, politics (except host's opinion) only Taoism. Food is diversified, you can learn how to ride, nature around is beautiful, many good and passionate people.

In our culture, offering beer or brandy means hospitality. Many volunteers realize that they can take the drinks as they wish. The meaning of volunteering and helping others has been missed by many, including you. Worldpackers is not for you. Come to someone's property and draw communist signs on the buildings? If I were you, I would be ashamed to write any kind of review at all...

Infelizmente não posso recomendar, tive que sair antes devido a falta de condições e situação precária do local. Falta banheiro, falta água, falta respeito dos anfitriões, enfim, local totalmente impossível de receber pessoas como voluntários. Primeiro fui mal recebida pela mulher do anfitrião, porque não falo inglês. Me dispus a ir embora sem problemas. Depois fui levada ao banheiro q era de madeira no meio do mato onde havia um buraco no chão e só. Depois dormi num barraco de madeira sem energia elétrica num matagal sem acesso a nada e um frio terrível. As tarefas não são as escritas.Péssimo

She wants to get a shower 3 times per day!? In volunteers camps you would get 5l water par day. One day we had a problem with the pumps and she was insolted and refused to do anything on the farm... We dont accept volunteers without knowledge of english and she dont speak a word of english! - she didnt tell me this till arrival.This lady is not volunteer- she is more " how to travel on a cheap way".
