My experience in Sammatz was amazing, not only I learned more about community life but also about the hard work it goes to make it possible. I connected with people in a way that they became family in such a short period of time. I'm deeply grateful about my time in Sammatz and I would recommend everyone to try it at least once. I'm definitely coming back:)

Truly, I cannot recommend this place enough. You will meet so many people and share a house, joy and adventures with them, work in the most beautiful garden, walk animals to pastures, make cheese, and have the satisfaction of helping feed hundreds of people a day. I leave tomorrow and feel an intense gratitude for having been here.

Sammatz was my first experience like this, and honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better one. It turned out to be one of the best experiences I've ever had I was honestly nervous at first and didn't really know what to expect, but I'm so grateful I decided to come here. What makes this place so special is the people. Everyone is incredibly kind, open, and welcoming. They're also amazing at listening to your needs and always very responsive whenever you need help or have a question. You really feel heard and cared for. There's so much variety in the tasks that you can always find somethi

İt was one of my favorite volunteering experience. I met with a lot of people from all corners of the world. I was always waiting dinner time in Blue house. That was wonderful atmosphere.if you like being in nature, you will like here so much. I will miss the reading book in amazing fountain view, funny conversations, cake times... I hope I can come here again :)

I had to leave much earlier than planned due to some personal issues I had to deal with. It was entirely unrelated to the host or the volunteering conditions. The staff was very kind, welcoming, and understanding of my situation, and for that I am extremely grateful. Michaelshof is a very vibrant community and I would definitely recommend this place to volunteers who are looking for a very social experience!
