This is truly a family business, really kind people who welcome you not only into their home but also into their family. I had a wonderful time with Lily, Dusko, and the girls. The tasks are not hard; mostly kitchen work when it’s busy, but it’s easy to handle. They are flexible and willing to help if you want to do things on your day off. The business is located in a very quiet area, so you can enjoy nature and have time for yourself and your thoughts. Thank you for everything!

If you are looking for cultural immersion this is a great experience! You are provided with an apartment in a small village, and hitch hike to the guest house, which is about 3km away. The village has a market and ATM. The hours are respected and work is fair. The family is lovely and you feel part of their world very quickly. You will be provided with money once per week to buy food. There are nearby trails, caves, natural pools, boat tours on the guest house, and monasteries. There are also opportunities to sell your off days and work extra hours for payment. Thank you for the amazing experiences!!

This family has been nothing short of enchanting. Lilly, Dusko, and the girls are each their own universe—so different, yet all remarkable in their values. They're always making sure you've eaten well, always suggesting new corners to explore—and there's something deeply lovely in that. Wandering the river, discovering its caves, waterfalls, and natural pools—it's all utterly charming and all of it nestled among the ruins of an ancient monastery stretched along the water's edge. it feels nothing less than magical. I'm truly happy to say that rather than ending, my journey with them is starting

The whole family was lovely and especially Lily, she had me as a part of her family from the arrival. The hours were respected and the tasks are not so organized but it will be easier if you consider it's your family and house. Then, you'll find what to be done and of course you can ask if there is anything specific to do, they are always there to help you. You will be surrounded by nature and it's beautiful that I can't imagine during the summertime!

The hotel sits on the mountainside with a beautiful view of the water cutting through the valley below. I found the experience to be a great opportunity to rest and recharge, as I was there in September (shoulder season) and there wasn't much going on. It's important to note that the family and business had a lot of challenges going on outside of their control during the month I was there, but I felt communication could've been improved with scheduling and with tasks/responsibilities/expectations during the shifts. Definitely got to know Montenegrin culture and experience the guest house nature!

I spent a month with Lily, Dusko, and their daughters — a lovely family. Lily is strong and kind, and even made me a surprise cake on my birthday! =D I shared a room with Crista, who became a friend for life. I also met Akchel and her son, lovely people, and some local people. The village is tiny and peaceful, great for nature lovers. Work hours are respected, and you get €30/week for food. the guest house is 2.5 km from the house. Be ready to walk, ask for a ride — and face 40 °C+ heat! A real, simple, challenging and enriching experience!

Lili was very nice and welcoming throughout the whole 2 weeks. Hours were agreed upon the night before, either chosen by lili or amongst ourselves. Everyone works the weekends as its the busy time for the guest house. The rooms are cute and changeovers are easy. You meet lots of locals as they come to drink at the weekend. Everyone loves the boat trips and although we didn't have time to go on one, i would surely recommend. Lili let's you borrow kayak aswell in your free time. 😀

The guest house is in the most beautiful location and Lily welcomed us in to her family. We were living in our van on site, other volunteers seemed to stay between the house and village so not as social as other experiences. Food money was given and we cooked for ourselves. Tasks were varied and had to use initiative to find things sometimes, mostly cleaning. We had a good stay and Lily is super friendly and kind.

It was my first experience as a volunteer, and I am very grateful to Lili ,dusko and her family for their patience, the opportunity, and for sharing their home with me… I took away a beautiful experience. What stood out was their great patience despite my learning English 🫶🏼☺️ I met two other travelers, which made everything very nice. I had several rainy days due to the winter, but it helped me rest 😴 Thank you so much, I wish you all the best for what's to come, and I hope to see you soon 🫶🏼 God bless you.

This experience has been amazing.I found a wonderful place in Montenegro where my son and I were warmly welcomed.From the first moment, the family made us feel part of their home, always attentive to our needs. I definitely gained a new family here! I learned about cooking and the internal management of a hotel,skills that I truly value.I enjoyed spending time with the girls, especially with Djurga, the baby. Additionally, I made great friends and we explored beautiful places together.Thanks to this wonderful family for welcoming us.We will always keep you in our hearts.
