It was an amazing experience, I do recommend it. In summer, they have at least a hundred, and in winter 30 approximately. I met a lot of Spanish speaking Latinos, Brazilians and germans. It is a place where you can talk about any subject and someone will want to talk to you about it. My tips to you, future traveller: Bring flip flops for your feet(having wet socks isn't nice). There is no microwave, but there is a dishwasher. Take your shower downstairs in the blue house, there is a more broken showers upstairs. They will ask you to clean after yourself, try to keep as tidy as possible.

I had the best time in Sammatz! The place is full of volunteers from all over the world, I felt super comfortable the whole time and it's not hard to make good friends:) the work shifts change every day, communication is awesome so if there are any problems you can just talk them out. I felt like I was at home, it was my first experience volunteering and I would suggest this place to anyone:) text me if you would like to know anything in particular

Dear Serena, we would like to thank you very much! We were very happy to have you with us, you are a very open and cheerful person. You got on very well with the other volunteers and were able to make many new friends. You got to know the different areas of work, especially in the café, and were a great support. All the best for you, and we are always happy to see you again!

What an amazing place! I loved every minute (except perhaps cleaning the food truck 😜) and I can't wait to come back, hopefully next year. There are so many areas to get involved in, and the friendliness, helpfulness and general joie de vivre of the place is contagious. Highly recommended to make new friends and add a wide range of experiences to your CV.

My experience at Sammatz was a month of many reflections, social interactions & personally deepened awareness. I came to Michelshof without many expectations except that a month felt like such a long time. What I found was a center for ecology, structure & social life that made four weeks feel like an eternity from the learning perspective but a moment when the month passed far too quickly. The fact that I want to go back to Sammatz as soon as I can speaks for itself. If you search for a space to grow, learn & get to know yourself better both in your own & others company, Sammatz is for you!

This was my first volunteering experience and it didn't fit my expectations but exceeded them. The togetherness feeling in Sammatz is genuine—everyone brings their individuality to collaborate and make it feel as a community. From meeting incredible people and forming friendships, to not worrying about food and a bed to sleep on (you literally don't spend a penny), you feel taken care of. The jobs are nice, you learn something new every day while having fun and knowing you're contributing to a purpose. The only downside to Sammatz is having to leave, but knowing you'll be back.

Honestly an awesome experience all around! The people were great and it was cool to make friends from around the world. They have amenities like a fully stocked kitchen, musical instruments, and little festivals on the weekends. You will usually have an organized schedule where you work various jobs throughout the day like barista, gardening, or working with the animals. Volunteers are set up with a mentor at the beginning of the stay where they set you up with the kinds of jobs that you like.

This experience was amazing, I extended my stay and for sure will come back; I found amazing people from all around the world who will be forever in my heart and some of this friendships will probably for life; working sometimes was tiring but doing it with amazing people in this place make everything easy and pleasant. The place is immerse in nature, living here is like living in a fairy tale, I enjoyed every minutes. I recommend this place to everybody who think this simple lifestyle in a community could fit them.

It was a amazing experience. Full of wonderful exchanges and friends. People in the community are very receptive and open to hearing what we need. When I arrived there were more than 100 volunteers, the culture shock was difficult in terms of cleanliness and organization with the other volunteers, as well as some social contracts such as using loud cell phones in the rooms or talking loudly. Things that are resolved with conversation. The work is not heavy, but it requires commitment. The house and food are very good there is nothing to complain about. Thank you to everyone <3
