The Experience

We are a community of potato lovers in the north of Germany. Our passion is cultivating potatoes from all over the world, cooking, tasting and serving our guests. We run the one and only potato farm hotel in Germany. You help us in the restaurant to serve food and drinks for our guests. For this task, it is actually important that you have a good knowledge of German. Once a week we organize a German course for you. We plan with 5 days a week

My stay in Karttoffeln Hotel was really nice! I had the opportunity to connect with other volunteers from all around the world, I got to practice my the hostel and It was a great momento to disconnect from the virtual world. In Karttoffeln Hotel you will have the opportunity to see how a Hotel/Restaurant works, with this internship you will be working on various tasks that a hotel needs to mantain itself. Working hours are normally respected, just one day per month you work way more. Staff have some communication problems, but overall a great experience, Thank you very much for everything!

I really loved volunteering here, Olaf and the rest of the full time staff were lovely and the other volunteers made the stay very fun. The location is quite remote but provides a unique experience of an area I never would have got to on my travels otherwise and was absolutely amazing at christmas time!

This was my first Worldpackers trip and certainly a memorable one. Food, accommodation, and work schedules were all great, but the best part of the experience was definitely the people. Thank you to everyone at the Kartoffel Hotel for making this a great experience!

I had a very good time in the Kartoffel Hotel, I spent a month here and the time It was very fast. The house is warm and clean, the food is good and you always eat in the hotel restaurant. The work changes often but it is simple, sometimes it can be harder but still simple tasks and the six hours of work pass quickly, Olaf is a very helpful and kind person, ready to listen to any problems and solve them. I will definitely come back here, I recommend everyone to pass by here.
