Helping hand in the kitchen and bar

I'm not sure how to express my view on this experience without going into further details.. but as I have to be short here, I'll say that I'm grateful to have spent 2 weeks in Lovište, the place is paradisiac. The food is spectacular, thanks to Mario and Ludmila. Regarding the work itself and the living situation, I'll say that there's a lot of discrepancies. Some work hard, while others not so much. Some might be placed in a room near the restaurant and some on a far away farm with no electricity. I think having a good time there will depend on how well you can adapt to different situations

The job is entitled bartender and kitchen hand but was pretty far from what the job actually was. The owner is pretty rude to his staff. My accommodation was on a farm a while away from the guest house with no electricity, shower, hot water or door to the toilet which I shared with two others (apparently this isn't normally where they keep volunteers, but they didn't have space for us)

Dear Isla, you got a lot tasks in the restaurant, like keeping the space clean, washing glasses and making drinks and coffees. The owner is strict, when someone is not doing the job right or didn’t listen. We offered you a shared room with electricity, warm water and a shower. You wanted to sleep alone and we offered you for some nights a guest room alone and with everything you needed. Then we needed the guest room and we offered you the room alone on the farm and you accepted. We offered you a bathroom for showers. You told us you enjoyed the experience and it was so fun and you would stay longer, but your sister is crying in Split and you will go to work with her on party boats. You left us the next day and we didn’t had enough time to organise a new volunteer, that’s why the owner was not happy with your behaviour. We still wish you all the best.

I liked my time at the inn. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beach. One of the staff members taught me how to snorkel in his free time and that was an excellent experience. People working there were from Ukraine and Croatia, and some of them didn't speak English which made communication challenging. Communication was a bit of a problem during my stay, apparently, Robert (the host) only knew I was going a couple of hours before I arrived. The working schedule and tasks were very flexible. For more information check my IG (afs_coelho) and tiktok (a.f.s_coelho).

It was my first experience as a volunteer, I would say overall it was a good experience, there was a miscommunication at the end but that was it.

I had a good time at my week long stay at Pansion the inn! I think your experience here could vary widely based on what time of the year you come & who is working here when you do. The inn (with a separate olive farm) is run by a family. The main host speaks English and is the person I spent the most time with during work. It wasn't a family immersion experience; it's more focused on helping with work at the inn. I recommend this experience if you're happy to pick up random tasks and don't want a super curated volunteering experience and if you like quieter, more isolated places!

Pasamos dos semanas en abril haciendo un voluntariado en Loviste. Aunque inicialmente esperábamos trabajar en los olivos o en el restaurante, al no ser temporada ayudamos en limpieza de áreas y construcción de terrazas en campos de olivos, una tarea exigente. Robert, el anfitrión, es muy trabajador, organizado y respetuoso con horarios y días libres. La comida fue muy buena y nos prestaron bicicletas para movernos por el tranquilo pueblo. Recomendamos esta experiencia a personas polivalentes que busquen desconexión, aunque las opciones de transporte son limitadas.

Durante mi estancia en la pousada, disfruté de una familia acogedora y comidas deliciosas. La madre del Sr. Robert es encantadora, y debido a la temporada baja, se me proporcionó una habitación cómoda para mí solo. Aunque el Sr. Robert es amable fuera del trabajo, su estilo estricto y la barrera del idioma hicieron que el ambiente laboral fuera estresante. Además, las áreas de trabajo carecían de medidas de seguridad adecuadas, y al intentar organizarlas, el Sr. Robert se mostró reacio a los cambios. Recomiendo evaluar estas condiciones antes de comprometerse con este voluntariado.

Un buen lugar para relajarse! Es un pueblo pequeño y tranquilo. Lleno de naturaleza y mar. Si te gusta el pescado te encantará este lugar, excelentes comidas por el chef Julio! El transporte para llegar allá es algo complicado pero de lunes a viernes tendrás un bus! Lá comunicación es fundamental siempre!

La comida es muy buena y hay bebida a disposición. Flexibilidad para cambiar los horarios de trabajo. El personal y la madre de Robert fueron gentiles. El pueblo es muy lindo. Dormimos en un camper (no es ni + ni -, estaría bueno que lo pusieran en la descripción). Lo malo es que el baño estaba a 100m, este no estaba en buenas condiciones y en un lugar inapropiado. No nos otorgaron los elementos de protección para trabajar. El vehículo y el lugar trabajo eran inseguros, estaban sucios y desordenados. El anfitrión podría mejorar las formas de comunicarse y los tratos para con los voluntarios.

Las fotos no coinciden con lo visto, tuvimos que dormir en caravan y utilizar un baño que estaba en el restaurante. El transporte en el que viajamos y el espacio de trabajo eran inseguros, estaba muy sucio y había mucho desorden. La comunicación y formas son un gran punto que podría mejorar el anfitrión. No permite otras formas de hacer las tareas. Fue flexible con el cambio de horarios. La comida era muy rica, había bebidas y café a disposición nuestra. Muchas personas del equipo fueron muy gentiles y amables con nosotros. Pudimos disfrutar del mar, hacer snorkel, tabla surf y trekking.
