Olive trees harvesting in Croatia

This was a unique volunteer gig, in a beautiful little seaside town. Some days are hard work outside farming, and some days are working in the restaurant washing dishes or organizing. There were some communication issues with the host - we were often given contradictory instructions which was frustrating. Robert is really big on communication, but ironically sometimes wouldn't communicate effectively with us. Some staff aren't very friendly or respectful when communicating with volunteers. Overall, it was a beautiful place to be and we loved having a private room and bathroom.

Robert exhibits narcissistic and manipulative traits; his kindness masks an offensive demeanor. He used unsafe vehicles without proper permits, forcing us to travel in substandard conditions. I endured until his behavior became violent, prompting me to leave earlier than planned, despite the additional costs. Coexistence was further strained by his partner Tania's hostile attitude towards the volunteers. The island we were staying on offered limited leisure options and was isolated, prompting us to leave early. Moreover, Robert threatened retaliation if he received negative feedback

I had a great time staying at the inn! I felt very comfortable in my room and I felt very welcomed from the beginning. We had access to snorkels and paddle boards on our time off. The work was all physical but not too hard. It was a great experience to feel immersed with nature when working at the farm. The food was amazing and plentiful. Robert works very hard and appreciates all help.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I had a great time. Robert is a funny and very generous man. I felt that he really wanted to make sure that I was happy during my time in Lovište. He is also extremely busy running his restaurant and olive farm, so I would recommend to someone able to be independent and flexible. Working hours are very well respected. About half in the morning and half in the evening. In your off time you can chill on the beach, snorkel, etc. My accommodation was shared in a room in the B&B. Food was amazing. I will miss the fresh fish :)

I spent two weeks at Pansion the inn. The landscapes were absolutely stunning, and I had plenty of free time to explore the beaches and relax. Initially, connecting with Robert at first was a bit challenging but things got better quickly, Robert was incredibly generous and has such a big heart. The tasks were simple, mainly watering plants, serving customers, polishing cutlery and glasses and making the terrace look nice. We also worked on the farm. Lyudmila, Izvieta, and Bogda, just like Robert, hold a special place in my heart. I truly enjoyed my time there. Thank you so much!

For a first volunteer experience the inn was a success. As soon as we arrived we were immediately welcomed, Robert made us feel like we were at home. In addition to being located on a small paradise island, the tasks given to us were without pressure. After spending a week there, we had the chance to get to know a bit more about croatian culture and the value of work team. We are very grateful to have been able to give a little helping hand at the inn!

We enjoyed our stay at the inn, Loviste was a peaceful small city and Robert was an amazing host. In exchange of respecting your weekly schedule of around 30h of work, you'll get a clean room, amazing exchanges of knowledge and lots of fishs and wine:) We recommend this volunteering experience for anyone who's at ease with random tasks, who's flexible and who want to bring a bit of their own at this place. Special mention also to the fulltime workers who really made this experience unique and enjoyable, Mario and the Ukrainian trio of Julia, Egor and Sergey <3

During my 2 weeks in Lovište I learned a lot! The farms are gorgeous and there are so many olive trees. Robert and Mario made my experience unforgettable! If you get the chance to go fishing with Robert, GO! The tasks weren't too difficult but were plentiful. Mine mostly consisted of helping around the farm, light cleaning, and setting the table for all meals. The work hours are very well respected and off days are flexible. I highly recommend going closest to the summer season, as there is more to do to get everything ready for guests. There are more people around and lovely sunny weather.

This was My 2nd WorldPackers Experience. It was great ! Robert the host is a hardworking man who is also very funny and someone I enjoyed spending with. Mario who is like a second host is also a great person who is really easy to get on with. Robert makes sure you always are keeping track of your hours and making sure you take your days off when you have done your correct hours. Tasks vary in difficultly - Nothing Impossible though. Igor, the chief , his food is amazing so you will be well feed as long as he is there. I was able to meet other volunteers from around the world which was great!
