I had a good time at the lodgeand met amazing volunteers. I worked the morning shift (7–12), helping with breakfast. The surrounding nature is beautiful with nice hiking options, but keep in mind the area is very quiet and the nearest town is a 50-minute walk. The staff is friendly and enjoy joking around, often treating volunteers more like friends than employees. Which makes it important to maintain personal boundaries. There were a few situations involving other volunteers that the staff did not handle well, so that's something to keep in mind. The breakfast and dinners were amazing every day!

When I arrived, I had to take a taxi at my own expense Edon reimbursed me a few days later. When I got to the lodging house, I wanted to leave immediately. There are 10 beds in the room where volunteers stay with no room to store your personal belongings and no security for your belongings. There is barely a pathway in between beds. The bathroom door to the shower doesn't close. You have to put a shelf in front of it to have it "barricaded" for security. It was 5 hours of washing dishes every day. Food was provided, but only when they said you could eat. They often didn't feed you until 9pm.

My two weeks volunteering at the lodgeKaty in Montenegro were truly an amazing experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the people I met were kind, creating strong friendships along the way. The work was rewarding, with manageable shifts that left plenty of time to explore the beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed stunning hikes through nature, and I loved how the community emphasized sustainable living practices. It was a perfect balance of meaningful work and free time.

This is a great opportunity that allows you to explore the national park area and go on incredible hikes. The host family is very friendly and does everything possible to make sure volunteers are happy and comfortable. The work is pretty easy and you will not need to spend money much at all during the stay. You do need to be assertive though and speak up/call when you need help because you will likely be left alone sometimes. Also apart from hiking there is not much else to do the place is a 45 min walk from the nearest town/market. But you can likely get a ride there from the hosts.

I had a wonderful experience atthe lodge! Doni and his family immediately created a welcoming and respectful environment and I felt like I was part of a family. The hours were respected, I worked 7 to 12 on breakfast shift and had the rest of the day to explore or have my own free time. I had some really meaningful experiences and I am grateful to everyone at the lodgefor making my stay so comfortable. The other volunteers were great, I would go back in a heartbeat!

I loved my stay atthe lodge! Doni is one of the best hosts I have ever had, the hours/tasks are super clear and he makes a huge effort to make sure you enjoy your stay! Everyone there is so nice and welcoming. The nature is beautiful and you have lots of time to enjoy the surrounding hikes with waterfalls, springs, mountains etc. You can also walk into town along the way :) I would just be a bit cautious about the tap water. Thank you so much Doni!

My time at the lodgewas absolutely amazing. Edon, Man and their family were so so nice and immedeately made me feel very welcome. I enjoyed my free time during the day by doing hikes in the surrounding areas. In the evening I was a waitress during dinnershift and I really liked socialising with the guests. The other volunteers were also fantastic. I've made very good friends there and plans to meet again later this year. This place has gotten a special place in my heart and I would love to go back someday :)

I really enjoyed my time working here. The location is beautiful, there's many many hiking trails to explore. Doni, his family, and staff were all wonderful people who I liked spending time with. They taught me a lot about the region. The work hours were respected and Doni is flexible with your days. If you want to take time off to da longer hike, he's supportive as long as you plan around the busy days. The food was really good too!

My really enjoyed my the lodgeexperience :) The family and team are very welcoming and social! They were respectful and truly appreciated me and the other volunteers. There was a problem with another volunteer but I cant comment fully on a situation that is not mine. Work tasks were figured out after arriving and were simple and flexible. I learned a lot from the locals and was great for different cultural immersion. Also perfect if you love nature, there's short/long hikes, even with work you will always have time to explore. I miss everyone and the place a lot, hope to see you all again soon! :)

Huge thanks to Donny and the rest of the team atthe lodge. the lodgeis a solid volunteering opportunity. The work is as agreed, 4-5 hours 6 days a week either preparing breakfast or waitering in the evenings. If the weather is good there are amazing hikes and water holes surrounding to property. The hosts go to a lot of effort to make sure you're comfortable and have everything you need, from taking you into town for supplies to organising taxis to and from hike locations. My only draw back is the property is isolating and the local town doesn't offer too many opportunities to fill the down time.
