As long as you can handle some hard work in the sun and have the host being blunt and honest with you, then you will love it here. It can get really hot in summer and it can get hard to work but after work you can go relax in the pool or go to the beach. I meet some amazing new friends here and the community it truly amazing. Knowing you are helping the environment by planting trees and helping build a forest is such a good feeling. I really enjoyed my month here. I would recommend 👌

Be prepared to work. It was exactly what I signed up for. The property is beautiful but needs some loving care, the work was challenging but enjoyable. I would have like to spend more time in the garden and in hindsight sight I should have made that known. It works well when all the volunteers work together and got involved so I hope you come with a good attitude. I will go back when I have more time to offer. The beach is close by and incredibly beautiful. I was very happy at Lambos Gardens!

This has the potential to be an interesting experience for those who are willing to put in a higher amount of work. There is more responsibly put on the volunteers here than the average work exchange, so if you're looking for a challenge to build your management skills than this may be for you. Overall, I would recommend this experience to those who are looking for a less chill and more intense experience where they can develop more serious skills.

Harmen & Luisa, I write this first to say: Thank you for all the things that you have taught me as meditation, eating healthy vegetarianism, and Stoic philosophy. But the MOST IMPORTANT: there are a lot of people NOT interested in the teaching of Osho, so meditation is volunteer not obligatory, the treatment of the volunteers needs to be improved urgently since we are going there to have a Great Experience and not the opposite. Good luck!!

All in all I enjoyed my stay at Lombos garden. I enjoyed working in the nature and I gained a lot new skills around gardening. I also met lovely people there! I just didn't feel very appreciated and I think the communication and the critic was to harsh for being a volunteer and giving your best to contribute to something bigger.

The accommodation and everything that went with it like bathrooms and kitchen was very good. Working in the heat was tiring, but it didn't take too long and was fun with the other volunteers. I just had some personal disagreements with the hosts.

We had a wonderful week in Lombos Garden! The outdoor work in nature was very calming and we learned a lot more about gardening. The meditation and yoga daily sessions were amazing as well. The community has a lot of bright souls and the team is also very welcoming and accepting.

The farmis a really nice place in the middle of nature. It's a nice way to meet new people from all around the world. The other volunteers were really nice and we had a lot of fun together. On the other hand, there was a lack of communication and one of the two hosts (Luisa) tried to micro manage every single step of the work we were doing. Therefore the 5 pages of rules Chris talks about in his review are a good example. Furthermore she talk bad about other volunteers behind there backs, which I think was very disrespectful. I hope in the future she will be open to the thoughts of others.

Theo,
It's sad to read your review since we had a good experience with both of you, although there was always a problem of communication with your friend Merle, but, you stayed longer then 1 month as expected, so, it was not a bad experience for you both and for us...
On the other hand, Luisa never speaks behind the back of the volunteers, in fact, her main problem is to be very direct to the volunteers before their arrival and during their staying guiding them to achieve the best result of their work with the less effort.
Using the comments of who stayed with us less then one week not willing to participate in our daily life, can not be compared with you two.
Yes, we do receive volunteers for more then 10 years and, when we provide space for more then 10 persons at the same time, with a constant rotation, is normal that we need clear guidelines to guaranty a clean and organize living for everyone, which was never an issue for you two.. but we understand that you need to protect your friend Merle, as usual.

Beautiful time collaborating with Pujari and Luisa. This is an opportunity to learn about compost, bio charcoal, planting trees and many other tasks related to an ecological and permaculture experience. It's located in the countryside, what makes more special, our lifestyle connected to nature, the sky at night, a reasonable distance to the beach, sunrises and sunsets are amazing things that they offer, as well as Yoga and meditation option for everyone who wants to join. It was time for meet other shiny souls and time for reconnect with my inner self.

The farmis a very transformative volunteer place where you can meet a lot of amazing and inspiring people. It really felt like living in a big family with all the ups and downs. This taught me a lot. The hosts value their guidelines and an active contribution to community life which has to be kept in mind while choosing this place. The work is sometimes physically challenging and the volunteers input was not always welcome. However, the hosts also make sure that you get your own responsibilities in the garden which lets you contribute something personal to this beautiful project.
