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

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 :)

I spent two weeks at Pansion the inn. The landscapes were absolutely stunning, and I had plenty of free time to explore the beaches and relax. Initially, connecting with Robert at first was a bit challenging but things got better quickly, Robert was incredibly generous and has such a big heart. The tasks were simple, mainly watering plants, serving customers, polishing cutlery and glasses and making the terrace look nice. We also worked on the farm. Lyudmila, Izvieta, and Bogda, just like Robert, hold a special place in my heart. I truly enjoyed my time there. Thank you so much!

For a first volunteer experience the inn was a success. As soon as we arrived we were immediately welcomed, Robert made us feel like we were at home. In addition to being located on a small paradise island, the tasks given to us were without pressure. After spending a week there, we had the chance to get to know a bit more about croatian culture and the value of work team. We are very grateful to have been able to give a little helping hand at the inn!

We enjoyed our stay at the inn, Loviste was a peaceful small city and Robert was an amazing host. In exchange of respecting your weekly schedule of around 30h of work, you'll get a clean room, amazing exchanges of knowledge and lots of fishs and wine:) We recommend this volunteering experience for anyone who's at ease with random tasks, who's flexible and who want to bring a bit of their own at this place. Special mention also to the fulltime workers who really made this experience unique and enjoyable, Mario and the Ukrainian trio of Julia, Egor and Sergey <3
