You love Potatoes and Country Side? Come to our Potatoe Hotel an be wellcome :-) Once a week we organize a German teacher for your German lessons. We have a whole house especially for our volunteers. You stay in hotel rooms with multiple beds and get free food and drink in our restaurant. Vegetarian food is not a problem, we have a lot of potatoes ;-)
Our potato hotel has been around for over 30 years. Potato fans from all over the world come to us. Our potato hotel family welcomes you and takes you into our team.

In general my experience at Kartoffelhotel was good, because of the other wonderful volunteers and some of the staff! I applied for the kitchen as I was hoping to learn more about cooking with potatoes and my job mostly consisted of hard work in the forest/outside. In my opinion this opportunity is more like an internship than a Worldpackers experience. Keep in mind that you won't just do the job you applied for. Some situations and small dramas also made this experience not the best I've ever had. Despite everything, I am very grateful for having me.

Dear Maria,
your severe mood swings have been a challenge for all of us. Of course, we have a wide variety of tasks, and we have informed you in advance about this in detail and in writing. And yes, there is also strenuous physical work that takes place outside in nature. And yes, in winter and spring it can be cold and wet outside. We have completed the tasks together with you, although you were not really interested in this work. We managed not to let your mood get us down and even managed to motivate you from time to time. And in that moment you hopefully learned something about yourself too... Goals can be achieved and difficult tasks are easier if you gain a positive attitude towards them. And yes, it is an internship and not a holiday away ;-)
Good luck
Olaf

In general it was a good experience, there were just a few things that could be improved: many of the workers there were very nice to us but others weren't too kind, the work outside was quite hard and we did it some days in a row but generally the place is nice, perfect for those who love nature and peaceful and quiet places. The German lessons were also good.

Hermoso lugar, hermosa gente, lo recomiendo muchísimo. Aprendí mucho alemán hablando con los locales y con las clases. Las tareas eran aburridas de lo fáciles que eran 😂 Olaf es un gran anfitrión y me hizo sentir en casa. El lugar es muy alejado de todo, tenger en cuenta antes de venir. Gracias a todos fue mi primer voluntario y sin dudas volvería!

Kartoffel Hotel offers cozy room and delicious food,people are friendly.Although there was a little drama in between,as I hate party and have to work longer at it,I discussed this with my host hoping for a shorter working time at a party.It didn't work because one has to take care of guests' needs,I also realized that gastronomic job doesn't suit me.After all we made a decision which is best for us,I left the hotel earlier than planned.
My best memories in Kartoffel Hotel is the encounter with people,we chat,eat,watch football,chop wood,run on frozen lake together,which I'd like to remember:)

Hi Shank, Yes, it actually only took one day to realize that physical work in gastronomy is not your thing. That's what an internship is for. However, it doesn't help much if you hate parties because you don't feel comfortable around people. No matter where you do an internship and no matter what tasks you get, always try to be open minded and do your job as well as possible. It will help you broaden your horizons :-) I wish you every success and growth in your journey. Greetings from your Team, Olaf
