I had an amazing time at the lodge, the perfect place to slow down for a week and appreciate the outdoors. Tasks were simple, the weekend was super busy but weekdays were much quieter and had most of the day to relax or go for a hike and explore the nearby huts and mountains. Tina and Andre were super welcoming, room was comfortable and food was plentiful and delicious. Would 100% recommend, absolutely loved this as my first Worldpackers experience!

My time at the lodge was beautiful. It was the slow season so the work was minimal but I was able to explore the many hiking trails all around! I felt so welcomed by Tina and Andre and always had so much fun chatting with them. I would recommend this to anyone :)

I had such a fun time at the lodge! Tina was such a lovely host, i felt welcome there and enjoyed talking with Tina and the other workers. I made a great friend with another worker too. The tasks were simple, there were things to do every day. I had some great food made by tina - mushroom goulash was my favourite. We went up the mountains in the mornings to watch the sunrise which was incredible. I had loads of time to read, to study and practice guitar. The nature was amazing and incredible, i definitely would recommend and would love to stay there again! :D

I stayed only for a few days (I left early due to personal reasons, nothing to do with the lodge) but I had a great time at the lodge!
I had plenty of time to go hiking and the area is truly beautiful. There were other volunteers during my time there and that was a really great part of the experience, most of the work we could share and also spend the free time together.
Work was mostly preparing the rooms for guests and cleaning the bathrooms, most days there was work in the morning and a bit in the evening but the afternoon was free.

I had the best week in the lodge. We got a pretty comfortable place to sleep, the property is absolutely beautiful and if you're into hiking there's a lot of different hikes you can try from where the lodge is located. I am so happy I got to experience so much from the Slovenian culture while being there, my favorite part without a doubt was the food! Tina makes the most delicious meals and desserts. There are tasks that you'll need to do everyday but you'll also get some time for yourself and to enjoy nature for a little bit. I had the best time, will def come back!!💗
