Olive trees harvesting in Croatia

Uruguai

Amazing place! Tasks are simple: cleaning, doing laundry, keeping everything organized and functioning and some times helping in the restaurant. Once you know what to do, you're quite independent and manage your own hours. The accommodation is 1.3km away but there are bikes and a car available to use. Robert is also very flexible and let us use the car to drive to Orebić for the day. The food was okay, they prepare it at the restaurant. I'm vegetarian so I did have to buy my own protein at times unless I wanted to eat salad/pasta only. Overall, it was a great experience!

A beautifully stunning location with warm locals. Comfortable accommodation within the hotel and amazing meals cooked by the chefs. Hours are a little flexible because you are like part of the family and the place needs something done at all times. Robert has a wonderful sense of humor and wants to know your feedback throughout the experience. The daily tasks were slightly different which kept it fun and exciting. Don't allow yourself to take anything too personal here and you will be just fine! the inn, Thank you for taking great care of me this past month and helping me to learn!!!

I truly felt like a part of the family! I learned a lot about local culture and olive farming. The place wasn't easy to get to but the host helped me to get there and back. We had some problems with communication in English but figured everything out eventually. If you love olives and fresh fish this place is for you!

Pros: - beaches are really beautiful and the village is very tranquil and peaceful. We had a great time in that enjoyable environment. - Most of the staff were also really helpful and friendly. Cons: - There were numerous of miscommunication issues, the restaurant owner didn't know exactly me and my friend were going to volunteer until that morning. Regarding the tasks allocation, it was extremely unclear. The owner didn't mention clearly what tasks we have to do and instead just claimed that “you would know what you should do if you treat it as your home” and has been sarcastic all the time

I had a great experience volunteering at the inn. The place itself is amazing; immediate waterfront and beautiful sunsets, delicious food freshly made for every meal, kind and generous people. The work is reasonable with a lot of variety and the working hours are respected, but the work can be very unorganized and we were often given insufficient or contradictory instructions to our tasks. You will be given harsh feedback both to your face and behind your back, but in the end the owner and his team are awesome and always want to make sure you're comfortable. I truly enjoyed my time here!

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.

I had an amazing time here, it's such a beautiful place and I was welcomed by everyone there. The work was reasonable and hours respected, the split of the hours makes it a bit hard to explore too far away but for me, I was more than happy spending time around the restaurant and snorkelling in the water out the front. If you're looking for an opportunity to meet some interesting and fun people and be by the ocean then I recommend :) also the food is so good!!

Guesthouse the inn is a great volunteer experience. It is 5 hours of work that will be different every day. A prospective volunteer should be aware that this work will involve manual labor and being outside, but it is all safe and reasonable work. Robert is a hard working and fair man, and he is flexible for his volunteers if needed. The guesthouse is in a remote village, so there are not many non-Croatians or other travelers to socialize with. The experience is more one of immersing yourself in the day-to-day life of the small village of Lovište. Recommend for unique and authentic experience.
