Great vegetarian food was always provided, Monday to Friday for lunch. Got to practice and improve both my German and Spanish. Learnt new skills (eg. coffee making) although I originally applied to be a bartender. Got on well with most of the staff but was made to work extra hours a couple of times. Tumble dryer and washing machine were both broken at different times, but were later repaired. Great location, with bus to nearby train station. Could also take the bikes for free to explore the surroundings. The best part was definitely meeting the other volunteers and spending time with them.

My experience at the guest house was very good. I loved being surronded by nature, where I found a lot of peace. The people who live and work here are truly kind and fun. I helped out in the kitchen, and the work was not hard at all. There were maybe a few pissues at the beginning, but nothing that could not be solved. Thank you very much for this experience!

I worked on the farm, and that was the best part of my experience (5⭐️). The rest, food, hygiene and reception I woluld give between 2-3 stars. The food was not bad, but we have issues during my stay that were never solved, when I left things were still the same. The accommodation conditions were far from ideal, I was first given a very dirty room with no heating (first nights I was very cold) abd later I moved to a better room, but it had a lot of mold on the walls, so I never felt completely comfortable. Jan was always aware of these conditions. The organization in general was very poor.

The place is beautiful and the work tasks are okay. The coworkers are patient and kind. However, depending on the accommodation you get, the experience can be very negative. The volunteer housing didn't meet my cleanliness standards, and the way food was managed didn't work for me. It might be a good experience for those looking for a countryside environment far from the city. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it.

This was my first worldpackers experience, and I had a great time at the guest house working on the farm. The rooms I stayed in (I had to change twice) were all lovely. The staff were friendly, and the food provided was good. Breakfast was provided every day, and lunch too on weekdays, with ingredients for evening meals being provided for volunteers to cook themselves. I will say that the host could work on improving the communication of practical information about the inner workings of the farm and in the hotel, and volunteer duties. A positive experience on the whole, I will be back :)

This experience was incredible. We were there for about two months and at all times we felt comfortable and connected with the hosts and the other volunteers. We totally recommend this experience if you want to disconnect and learn about life and work on a farm. Without a doubt, we would do it again. At all times the hosts were kind and understanding of our needs, there really is a very good atmosphere between the workers and volunteers.

I arrived excited to learn about farming, but there was nothing to do. When I asked for tasks, they had nothing to give me, and I mostly worked in the kitchen, which was disorganized and poorly managed. The food was mediocre at best. I asked the host 15 days in advance if I could leave early since I wasn't getting the experience I was promised. He freaked out, claimed I was breaking our agreement, and told me to leave immediately. I had no choice but to go. Overall, it was a disappointing experience, and I wouldn't recommend going there.

We confirmed Nimrod for vononteering in the kitchen, as Nimrod announced that he is a very experienced chef. We agreed on him as he confirmed the stay until mid of January. This was important as we are running two restaurants and we really needed his help for the new Years Dinner. Our Head chef tried to introduce Nimrod in easy kitchen tasks for the the start. But Nimrod was unreliable from the beginnng on. And his announcement to leave earlier was the tip of the iceberg.

Beautiful place to disconnect from everything, my room was perfect and the tasks were not hard. The transportation it was kinda difficult to get to the nearest small town and to berlin that it's the nearest city

Working hours were respected, food was good, we had access to any ingredients we needed, and everyone was very sociable. We were given a building to sleep in which was sometimes cold, had bugs and had no doors. Four of the volunteers (including me) asked to be moved to different rooms, and this was no problem. It's a beautiful place, and the work I did was not too difficult. I was not working in the farm, so I can't really comment on what that experience is like. I would recommend the guest house!
