When we first arrived to Sammatz we were expecting to stay for only 1 month and experience how it is living with a lot of people from different places and helping a community without being driven by money. After the month past which felt more like a week, we understood that we love this place and how open minded everyone is, seeing so many smiles on people's faces every day made us also feel that we have found a place where you can leave behind your monotonous life. We decided to extend our stay for one more month, we know that we'll definitely visit this place in the future and there will be

Sammatz was my first work-exchange experience and honestly, I couldn't ask for something better! Surrounded by nature is a magnificent place, full of activities and fun. Managed by a caring and welcoming staff, I felt included and respected, there's no way to feel excluded or misunderstood. I enjoyed everyday in Sammatz, especially in Christmas time, I had a lot of fun and I learned so many things about taking care of animals and gardening. It's a beautiful place if you want to meet new people, live and work in a fun way and create memories!

Sammatz was my first volunteering experience and I enjoyed my time there and the people I met. My mentor showed me everything i needed to know the first day and was really kind to me, always ready to help and listen to my necessities and i'm glad for that, the place is amazing and if you love nature is going to be great. I felt like a month was just the right time to know about the place, enjoy the company, improve the english and socialise and I would recommend if you are outgoing - I was not and it was really hard in the beginning (we were over 140 volunteers).

I spend a good time In sammatz, I meet a lot of amazing people, I had the opportunity to work on new works and I enjoyed the place around. The place is very beautiful, the people are very kind and you have contact with a lot of international people. The work is not hard but for me it's a lot of hours for a volunteer. Was a nice experience in Germany!

I had a nice experience overall here. I met a lot of really nice people and made some really close friends. The volunteers hostel was a nice place to live and the community was picturesque and quaint. There were a few things that were a bit off, communication wise with some things. The working days can feel a bit long, as you may work several jobs in one day.

Get ready to meet about 60 volunteers at the same time! If you need, remember to bring your own hairdryer. Working content is verified, since its a big community, you will get a mentor to connect with.

It's a great place to meet new people from around the world! Living all together can sometimes be challenging, but you get to learn a lot about yourself and others. I have met people that are now friends and I will cherish those moments forever. I wish that we had German lessons, but thanks to the other volunteers i practiced my Spanish. You'll be working a lot of hours, and some jobs are not easy, if you want to find a volunteering place where you can chill, this is clearly not the place for you! I disagree with several of their ideals but it was a great experience that i'll never forget.

I would definitely recommend the eco village to everyone! This place changed me in the best way possible. :) I got to meet so many new people and amazing friends. Work was almost always fun and I had a blast working in the garden. I loved that you had the opportunity to da variety of activities. I would love to come back to Sammatz one day. <3
