Detalhes

Hello! We are a Polish family running a unique guesthouse and restaurant in the small village of Udabno, right next to the David Gareja monastery complex. Life here is raw, windy, and sun-drenched. The views are endless, the food is real, and the effort is genuine.

We’re looking for volunteers who love to be active, solve problems independently, and don’t expect to be babysat. If you’re the kind of person who sees a full trash bin and takes it out without being asked – this might be your place. If you’re someone who needs daily to-do lists, shift schedules, and reminders to clean up after yourself – it definitely isn’t.

We really care about cleanliness — both in our own spaces and the ones we share. If you naturally notice when something needs cleaning and take action without being asked, you’ll likely turn out to be one of the most wonderful volunteers we’ve had. For us, this kind of awareness is one of the biggest assets you can bring.

Regras

We are a place built with and for the local community. We employ many villagers — mostly women for whom this is often the only source of income. Volunteering here sometimes means supporting something larger than a private business, including ongoing charity for elderly, children, and people in need.

Our philosophy: daily activities are part of life, not separate from it. Skills matter less than attitude: initiative, responsibility, awareness, and the ability to care for shared spaces without being asked.

Cleanliness: volunteers share simple rooms and must keep them clean. Managing your own cleaning schedule is your responsibility and not part of your volunteer hours. When we ask you to take over a task (like cleaning the floor), it becomes a regular responsibility.

Solidarity: if a rush happens outside your shift, we expect the natural instinct to help. Community is built through awareness, not rigid rules.

Couples: we rarely accept couples who met recently; no private rooms are provided.

Our dynamic: if after two weeks the energy doesn’t match, we may end the stay— this is not personal and prevents future frustrations. You’re also free to leave anytime.

Responsibilities and boundaries:
– Respect the contribution of local staff.
– Don’t assume access to money, tips, or alcohol.
– Baking a cake or doing extra creative tasks doesn’t count as a required task.

Value and mindset: your stay is fully compensated through accommodation and food, which cost 1000–1500 GEL monthly.

Winter volunteers: you may stay alone and must know how to handle a fireplace. Independence and emotional resilience are essential.

After two weeks we sit together and decide whether to continue — based on whether the collaboration feels right for everyone.
