It's nice to have contact with people from different parts of the world. But it's important to say that the shifts are very spread out, so sometimes you will start very early and finish very late because you will have several little breaks during the day. Also cleaning bathrooms, showers and kitchen does not count as working hours. Furthermore there is a lot of food waste, and considering that it was supposed to be a sustainable community, this should be improved.

All the people I worked with at Sammatz were really lovely and always went above and beyond for their community. I loved the vibe and the energy in the blue house, and meeting so many new people! There's always such a strong sense of community and togetherness. I learned a lot, especially in the medicinal fields with Nadja and in the Cafe with Caro, and there's lots of different areas. My only complaints are that the hours could be quite long, eg, from 8.00am to 8.30pm (with breaks in between), and that outside of working, there wasn't actually a lot to do.

If you're looking for a typical exchange to do some tourism, don't go to Sammatz. This is not a place to leave your luggage and take a bus to another city. In Sammatz, you have to be present; you'll work a lot and keep your head (and hands) busy. So, only go there if you want to learn a lot, discover new interests and ways of living, and build strong friendships and memories while doing so. For me, the main two improvable points are the Blue House situation with the teenagers and the extra working hours for kitchen and bathroom cleaning. I hope to return soon! <3

I had a good experience at Sammatz. At first it was a big culture shock, but gradually I understood how their routine and culture worked. If you want to connect with nature, this is the place for you.

Nice place to be. You can know a lot of people, the places is really beautiful and the people of Sammatz it's really kind. Sammatz people work too hard and so do the volunteers, however they usually respect the schedules.

The community is an interesting place to connect with yourself, other travelers, and the locals. The community members are kind and generous and are always willing to help you - if you speak up and ask for what you need!! Otherwise they may be too busy to unprompted ask you what you need. If you are looking to TRAVEL you might not be able to do that as much as you may think, but connecting with nature, yourself, and others is a great thing to do on the farm. Sammatz is such a big operation, that you and your needs may be overlooked if you don't speak up for yourself!

It was a good experience, a lot of contact with nature, and seeing how to works a community. It's 32h hours of work and cleaning the comun areas is a plus.

Both the place and the people are lovely. Most of the time the work was easy for me. At first I was confused by the timetable, because it was often split up, so I worked 2 hours in the morning, 2 hours in the afternoon and 2 hours in the evening. But there's not much to do around the community either, you can even cycle to a river. The Sammatz staff are very kind. There are tasks you can't like, in my case it's the garden, the longest I can stay is 2 hours lol. But that's up to everyone, some people don't like cleaning, I prefer it, I'm used to it in other jobs I've had.

Sammatz environment is not only a volunteer area but also a family environment. No matter how bad your English is, you can get along with people and no one judges you. This must be what a peaceful volunteering environment should be like
