I was honestly really scared to come here because I wasn't sure what to expect. I've never lived with a bunch of people I've never met before. But within 10 mins of getting to Sammatz I realized I had made the right decision. As soon as I sat down at one of the living room tables, a few people sat down next to me and made me feel included and welcomed. I quickly realized that's how everyone in Sammatz is. So kind, so inviting, so welcoming. The people I met and the memories I've made will always hold a special place in my heart. If you're thinking about coming here, you should! :)

This is my first time in Germany and Europe. I was a little bit afraid at first because of what I heard about German culture and people. In Sammatz I found a place that welcomes in a really warm way. I decided to extend my stay a little longer because of the people, work and nature. I'm part of the construction team that works every day building the new houses for the community. I've learned a lot about home electrical installations, and construction. This place philosophy is really interesting. Here, sustainability, getting along with the community and nature are the most important topics.

Sammatz is truly a unique place! It was my first volunteering experience and I had no clue what to expect but I guess one must come to experience it themselves😄 I fell in love with the nature and volunteers there, everyone is so welcoming and right from the first days I felt completely comfortable as if I had been living there for years. Talking about hours, there is always a lot of work in Sammatz. So if you decide to come here you should not be afraid to get your hands dirty and sweat a little bit. Overall, I'd really recommend the place, I think a month or two is ideal to get to know it!

Hey Vilija,
Thank you so much for joining our community as a volunteer. You are a very lovely person and have helped us a lot from day one. You were open and motivated to do all the work, and you are especially good at keeping things tidy and clean. We were very happy with you and you were able to help independently. The other volunteers are already sad that you
are gone, as you are such a warm person. 🤗
We wish you all the best on your further adventures, take care! 🙂 😎

My experience at Sammatz was the happiest experience of my life. It was my first volunteer job and it couldn't have started better. The people are amazing, very motivated and inspiring. The place is simply wonderful, probably the most beautiful place I've ever seen. The work is hard but the hours are strictly observed to and the benefits of being a volunteer are countless - the best part is the cake and coffee in the afternoon hehe. I felt very welcomed and at home. Can't wait to go back!! Thank you to all Sammatzians for this incredible experience!!!

I have been here for three months and I can say that it has been an incredible experience. The people in the community and the volunteers make your time an adventure that I highly recommend. The activities are very varied and you can "pick and choose" what area you would like to work in. The work schedule is a bit long but you really enjoy your time there. The rooms are very comfortable as well as all the facilities in general. I am really happy to be in this place and I recommend it without any doubt if you want to experience country side and farm work.

The place is very beautiful, we are close to nature, fresh air which makes the experience even better. The house where we stayed is very well organized, it has a fully equipped kitchen, bathrooms and bedroom. About the food, we had lunch at the restaurant and we have food available at all times in the house's pantry.

Great experience to have if you want to immerse yourself in nature, learn about animal care and the community life in general. And I love how the local community emphasize on sustainability and biodiversity. Work is physically demanding but that is part of living on a farm. I only stayed for less than a month which is not common but they were kind enough to make an exception. I wish I had stayed longer till spring to see all the roses and tulips blooming. Will definitely go back for a visit in spring or summer if I had the chance.

Seldom can you speak well of a place, and in sammatz it is a generous, calm environment, friendly people and smiles, working in the garden, in the stables or in construction was fun and time goes by very quickly, the landscape is Spectacular, walking through the forest or just sitting in front of the lake renews energy, thanks to all of you without exception and I hope to return to recharge that energy that you have to spare. The best experience you can have.

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
