Beautiful place with very nice people. The work we did was in the farm and it was fun for us (like feeding pigs, chickens, donkeys etc), also the work schedule was flexible and the food provided was very good. In low season there is not much people in the hotel or volunteering so it can be very quiet. It also is one hour away from Berlin (by train) and 45' by bike from Fürstenberg, which are beautiful cities! Also close to the hotel there are forests and fields to take a nice walk. Recommended place :)

I would definitely not rely on the comments as each experience is what you make out of it. My perspective on sustainability and also animals has changed for the better. The people are so lovely and I truly wish them the best. I can also speak German way more confidently now which was on my goals and I am so glad to have achieved it. Everyone was so welcoming and I will definitely miss them. Highly recommend this place!

I would totaly recommend this place if you like nature and farms vibes: people were kind and everything was as agreed on WP. Few people speak english but that helped me improve my german. Worth It!

It was definitely an experience I wasn't expecting. I loved the people I met and learning new tasks in the kitchen and front area. A great space to be in nature.

This place reminds me of Hotel California by Eagles. If you know, you know.

Dear Bruno, I am really sorry you feel that way! You stayed with us for more than 2 (!!) months, you never complained about anything. Whenever asked, you were happy. Whenever possible during your stay, we even offered you a single apartment. You were even asking for the opportunity to stay and applying for a real job. Why, if our place was so unpleasing for you, did you not tell us? Than, we would have had the chance to improve or go separate ways - as sometimes, people just don´t fit. But now leaving a negative review - that´s not fair. Nevertheless, I wish you all the best for your future way.

If you came to this place to learn about sustainability and learn about local food this will NOT be your place. The daily task will variate according theirs needs, which are not very organized, so is good to know that you should be fully advocate to this place.

What´s to say? Some people don´t fit to each other.

This is how we have perceived the volunteer: First time working after 3 days past arrival to have enough time to acclimate to the new environment. First job was to assist in our farm shop (own and purchased day to day products). First complain: she is too qualified for this job. First job in our café: She claimed being an educated barista, unfortunately this did not prove to be true according to her performance. She showed no further interest in service (serving self-baked cake, own coffee, freindly guests and great team) even though she applied for a position in service. Our team tried to offer help - no interest shown. We offered to join our farm team to learn about sustainability from the scratch as we grow cows, pigs, chickens, and geese ourselves, we slaughter them ourselves, and process them into products for our farm shop as well as for cooking in our restaurant.
Nevertheless, we wish her all the best with her next worldpacker experiences.

El trato fue respetuoso Todos son amables en especial Pavel y Gustavo Sin duda alguna todos trabajan por mejorar. El lugar es precioso, amé el bosque y la laguna. Hacen que la casa tenga un excelente paisaje. Lo que más me sorprendió fue que tuviera bus rural se puede llegar a Berlín en 2 horas y media. El supermercado más cercano está a 45 minutos en bici o 25 en bus rural. Recomiendo encarecidamente postular al trabajo en granja Nunca faltaron huevos pero hubiera deseado más pollo y menos chancho a la hora de almuerzo Hay un gran compromiso por los huéspedes.
