I will never forget my time here. I could write about many things, but the people here are the BEST. Every person on the plantation is welcoming&genuine. Each person that you meet is friendly&kind. You should expect the accommodation to be very simple, naturally with a few bugs involved. But if you're looking to make some great connections, experience the culture, share your own culture, &learn a bit about coffee then I highly recommend here. I miss it so much , but I'll definitely be back. Thank you all for making me feel like a part of the family. Terima kasih banyak! Sempai jumpa lagi!! 😁

Bri!

What a three enjoyable weeks with you. Learning English was fun, chatting, hanging out, singing, playing games, and of course, seeing how well you work here. Thank you for bringing joy to our place.

I will remember you as the record holder, the only volunteer who had no plans to go anywhere one hour before leaving this place. Congratulations! But please don't do it again haha...

Whenever you want to come back, remember that here is your Indonesian home.

This was a wonderful experience, and i'm so glad I got to stay on the host. Alfi, Wima, Risma, and all the many other staff members are so lovely and hardworking. Everyone is welcoming and kind, and I miss them all already. The rooms are simple but I loved having a space to call my own and there is a kitchen we're able to use as volunteers. The work itself was mostly gardening/maintenance in the morning and then working in the cafe later in the day. We usually finished quickly and there was lots of time to explore the plantation fields, which are beautiful, or relax.

Hi Natalie!

You are a young girl who is brave and smart. I am very happy to discuss a lot with you, one of them is about movies. I hope your dream of becoming a filmmaker comes true. And thank you for participating as “ghost” in our content :p

If I go to the US, I will definitely visit you in Seattle.

See you again, Natalie (Portman)!

The host was a beautiful place to get away from busy city and connect with nature and locals from the area! The managers, workers, and owners take every effort to make you feel special as a volunteer. There are a few opportunities to go into town and also go on nature adventures. They also feed u really good! This was my first Worldpackers experience & I think it's a wonderful one to start off with as the staff is very organized and professional! Two pieces of advice: be prepared for most of your work to be a celebrity to the locals and buy toilet paper before heading to the plantation!

Mi experiencia en la plantación estuvo buena, el lugar es grande, tranquilo con naturaleza y lindo. Las tareas son sencillas. Me hubiese gustado aprender más sobre las plantas de café, sus orígenes y variedades, pero no se pudo por la época del año creo. Gracias a Mr Wima y Miss Lydia por su buena voluntad y predisposición. Bizma y Abry por tenerme paciencia y hacerme reír en el bar. A indah y las chicas por ser tan amables.

Mi experiencia en la plantación fue buena, las tareas son sencillas y más que nada necesitan ayuda de camarero en el café de la plantacion. Tenía expectativas de aprender más acerca de las plantas de café y no fue el caso debido a la época del año. Gracias Mr. Wima y Miss Lidya por su buena voluntad siempre. Gracias Abry y Bizma por hacerme reír. Nos vemos mañana 🫶🏼

This was a great experience! I had a really good time getting to know everyone in the plantation, they all treated us as part of a family. Also, I got to learn a lot about how they run the café along with the several activities available at the plantation. The amount of hours were fair and the food received was delicious. Totally recommend.

Cristian and Miranda, a couple from Mexico, were great volunteers at De Karanganjar Koffieplantage. They worked hard, got along very well with other volunteers, and made a positive impact. Their friendly and cooperative attitude was a big plus. I highly recommend them for any future projects!

It's definitely one of the best volunteering experiences ever. I had an amazing time with them and I would love to come back one day. Everyone at the plantation is very welcoming and you can feel like a part of their family. The tasks are easy and very interesting as you do different activities everyday. We went out to the city together, enjoyed local food, learned about the culture. Truly amazing experience! I loved it and can't wait to come back one day!

"Happy to have your presence here, Weronika!

It's like a reminder of my "European home," Poland, full of memories.

Looking forward to our funny video, hopefully it will attract a lot of viewers! Thank you for your help while you were here! Hopefully we can meet again in your beautiful city, Krakow!

P.S. I just regret that I only found out that you're a veterinarian on the last day. Why didn't you say so from the beginning... we have horses, deer, birds, snakes, and crocodiles that need special attention..."

I had a really amazing time volunteering with them. The volunteering schedule is mutually agreed upon and handed over to everyone beforehand. All the tasks are really thoughtful and socially engaging, and helped me get grounded and more in sync with the environment of the place. The hosts are amazing and really nice, and made sure I lived as comfortably as possible during my time there. We celebrated local tradition together, went out for local food together, went to popular scenic destination together, apart from the volunteering experience.

Shivam!

I am extremely grateful for the unique experience of celebrating Diwali. It was truly memorable!

Thank you also for being a friend to my child, Aga. He will definitely miss you.

Hopefully, we can meet again in the incredible land of India, and don't forget to sing "Koil Mili Gaya"... if necessary, bring the original Kajol along... lol.

I can feel myself tearing up while writing this review because this was one of the most amazing experiences ever. This was my first volunteering experience and I realised that volunteering is a very “up and down” journey. You find out not only about your surroundings but also yourself. I love coffee and this opportunity only increased that love for me. The people of Indonesia and this property are absolutely brilliant. I still cannot believe the hospitality I received. I can keep going on and on. But all I'll say is. Thank you so much for everything. Never goodbye. Till next time.

One of the most special days of this year was enjoying the Indian-style chicken curry at our plantation. I know the seasoning wasn't complete, but I truly enjoyed it.

I also want to say that I enjoyed our discussions about culture, religion, and other silly things. I'm glad to have encountered a young Indian who is open-minded and willing to engage in self-criticism for a better life.

Hopefully, we can meet again in the incredible land of India!

This experience was incredible. Wima and all his family open the door and their hurt to us. All people is very nice. I did different activities everyday, never get bored. The place is amazing, surrounded by nature a perfect place to be in peace, relax and be in contact with nature. For sure I recommend this experience. Thank you Wima, Alfi, Lidia and all the staff for always be so kind and helpful. See you soon.

Hola, Griselda Mercedes!

You are one of the highlights we have this year. Thank you for being a great ambassador in promoting De Karanganjar and Blitar.

Thank you for 'messing up' the Javanese-Dutch theme here and turning it into a Latino theme. Sometimes dancing to Latin music is also fun!

I will miss our discussions that started with cultural, historical, and political topics, and became more philosophical as we went along. Hahaha...

If you have found the meaning of life, please share it with me, will ya ;)

I hope we can meet again in front of the majestic Tenochtitlan, chatting while enjoying tacos and accompanied by a cute tecolote.
