I had a delightful experience at the lodge. Robin and Birgit are amazing hosts, very respectful, kind, and welcoming. I felt like one of the family. They happily included me in activities such as family meals, saunas, movie night, and swimming at the lakes. The natural setting was ideal for connecting with the local ecosystem. In terms of the work aspect, the expectations and tasks were clear from the beginning, and were exactly as advertised online. They encouraged my own creativity and ideas. It was a pleasure creating art for them and I would 100% visit again! Cheers!

I had a fantastic time! Robin, Birgit, Josep and Miabel were a kind and welcoming host family, and the work was a good experience of working in the lodge. I definitely recommend this to other Worldpackers!

I am so grateful to have volunteered at Pillapalu for my first Worldpackers experience! Robin and Birgit are welcoming and supportive hosts,(who, may I add, were very accommodating when I briefly caught a cold.) During my stay Robin and Brigit helped me make my mural come to life, encouraging me throughout the creative journey and supplying all the materials needed. We did many fun activities together as well! I appreciate the warm environment, the magical nature, and kind people. Sending gratitude to the Gurney family, Allory, Mark, Uno, Cookie, Poppy, Sara and Andrea! Thank you all kindly❤️

I couldn't be more grateful for this experience! Pillapalu is a peaceful place where I learned about life, nature, and Estonian culture. The tasks were different and we had a lot of autonomy - a really good atmosphere! I met brilliant people, played with Cookie and Poppy, visited a bog, and went to an Estonian sauna! I'm already missing it! Robin, Birgit, Allory, Mark, Miabel, and Joseph - thank you for everything, and I hope to see you all again!

This was my first experience with the Worldpackers app and couldn't be better. Mr. Robin and his family were so friendly with me and the other volunteers. All morning we did a sync to align the jobs and the activities of the day. We were in 4 volunteers at all, and Mr robin left us free to divide the job as we felt more comfortable. Mr Robin is a very funny and pacient host and his wife, Mrs Birgit, so attentive and hospitable. He showed us so much about the culture and life in Estonia and we learned a lot about the lodge and natural environment.

This was my first time with Worldpackers and Robin and Birgit made me feel very welcome. I helped with making a promotional video for Robin, as well as helping with some general tasks such as raking leaves, chopping wood, cleaning, etc. There were 3 volunteers there at the time and we all got on very well and went for walks after we finished our tasks for the day. Robin also took us to the lake to swim and a bog which was a lot of fun. We also had a sauna and bbq night which was amazing! The place is absolutely beautiful, and I learned so much! Thank you Robin and Birgit

I had an amazing time in Pillapalu. Robin and Brigit really care about volunteers and try to make sure that they have the best experience there. I've felt in the right place since the first day. It's cool that there are tasks and jobs to do but you can also propose something. Amazing!

The Pillapalu experience was phenomenal. Robin is a fantastic host with a wide variety of tasks to be accomplished each day. There are no set hours and you are able to work on what you are best at. the lodge is an amazing place to connect with nature, and the sauna was a fantastic experience. I highly recommend this opportunity for anybody who wants to learn more about the medicinal properties of different types of mushrooms, and wants to learn more about Estonian culture.

Birgit and Robin were thoughtful and fair hosts. They took a collaborative approach to establishing reasonable work expectations while providing flexibility for us to pursue our interests. I enjoyed the variety of our volunteer tasks which ranged from transporting logs to greenhouse work and painting. During our downtime, I got to know the host family (including two very sweet dogs), ate delicious homemade food and took in the surrounding the lodge and nearby lake. Overall, I had fun and insightful experience and would recommend Pillapalu to other volunteers!
