I had a good time in the Center, the place is amazing, the room, the food, german lessons, all very good. My colleagues are also amazing and we had good moments together. On the other hand, there was a misunderstanding about the task. On the platform I applied to the kitchen, but they put me on housekeeping. Then I said that I would leave if I had to do one more week of this task and they said that I could choose between housekeeping or go away and that's what I did. The boss said that he had sent me a message before about different tasks but I understood that that was a standard message.

Unfortunately, you didn't explain this misunderstanding correctly. To explain briefly, every intern is allowed to get to know and carry out different tasks with us. The goal is to get a good overview of the work in a hotel. For this reason there is a job rotation every two weeks, so that no intern has to feel disadvantaged and has the opportunity to try out and get to know different things. I explained everything to you in writing before you arrived. The problem was this: You just didn't want to help with the housekeeping. And you gave us the choice, either you can work in the kitchen again or you leave us before the agreed time. Since we want to treat all interns equally and we don't want to be blackmailed, we didn't respond to your request. To be honest, your behavior also reminded me a bit of my daughter, but she is 12 years old and not 30 years old and she is in the middle of the defiance phase ;-) Completely independent of this incident, we were happy to have you with us and them We will never forget the New Year's party together :-) Sunny Greetings from Germany, Olaf

I had a really good time at the Center. Found a beautiful group of volunteers from different countries which made me live a very special experience. Its a good place to be in contact with nature, out of the noise and hurry of the cities. Gives the chance of spending time with the creative side of yourself. The tasks are clear and working hours very respected, I think it's important to make a rotative timetable between all the volunteers, because some of the tasks are more demanding than others. The team is mostly welcoming, the volunteers room is very comfortable!

I was at the Center for 6 weeks and it was truly a life changing experience thanks to the other volunteers and staff. I met some life long friends here. The breakfast was amazing, dinner was great, lunch was leftovers from whatever we had which was good. Definitely good to know a little bit of German as there was a communication issue with some of the staff who didn't speak English but we made it work. The room was perfect and beds super comfy. I truely believe it was the other volunteers who made this experience so unique. It's quite literally in the middle of no where, which is refreshing.

The one and only the Center! I'm very thankful for my experience there. I met some amazing people from around the world. The stuff was very nice and the jobs were quite fair. The place is very relaxed, the rooms have nice woody vibes, the food is good (but a bit repetative), there's yoga 3 times a day (thanks to the amazing Marina!), german lesson once a week, sauna at the evenings and bikes you can use to the near villages. All in all, to those who seek for some relaxation from the city life I highly recommend this volunteering. Enjoy your life😌

I really had amazing experience at the Center .i met some of the coolest people and it was really one of kind to live like family for month and have nice conversation, have food together and play some games.There were lot of things to do. We could use sauna, lake. They had common room where people meet. The food was good. Lunch is okay but breakfast and dinner are good . You also could do yoga, use bike and go to nearest town through forest or go for run. The good thing you find here should overshadow the some smallest thing!sometime work could be little difficult.the night sky is so amazing.

I loved my experience in the Center. it was a fruitful one for me. I would like to thank the team for the opportunity to let me practice my German in the restaurant. I really enjoyed the experience and the guests were always very nice to me. The food was really good, although sometimes a bit repetitive. There were a lot of fruits and it was always very healthy. I would like to say thanks too to all the staff. I felt like at home and I learned a lot about the culture, the food, new German vocabulary, etc. I'm looking forward to come back. Bis zum nächsten Mal. Jairo

Very good experience in the Center, you can use a sauna, bicycles, German classes and more. A good place to relax. There is a very good relationship between volunteers and staff. I will miss playing soccer with Justin and the friends I made in this place.

The Center is a nice place to reflect and dedicate time to art the Center. I loved the volunteering team, diverse and enriching, they really made my stay ☺️✌️ Work is mostly easy and they respect the 30 hours. The roles are different and I liked when we were asked our preferences, because there are some tasks that are more demanding than others. You have access to the Sauna and the meals are really nice (I miss the delicious breakfast 🥞). It is your place if you love nature and be outside of society for a while because moving around can be challenging and time consuming.

The experience was really good. It's a very quiet place, perfect to relax and enjoy the yoga classes, the sauna and the green surroundings. You can use the bikes to explore the nearest towns, however, if you want to go to bigger cities, there are no good transport links. There are different tasks to do, but we spend the most time in gardening. All the staff were very nice and the rest of the volunteers too, they are always there to help you. You will feel safe and comfortable during your stay here.

In general the colleges have the perception that it's hardworking specially because we have a lot of garden and sometimes we are tired to enjoy around.But if you manage its a great place to focus in some hobbies and habits. I came to do Yoga, when I get up sad I focus on this, I did Yoga class 2x a day and now I am able to practice by myself :D Great food, 3 x a day :) Sauna, lake, bikes. No much to see arround like in a city. Its a calm and nature place <3
