The Experience

We are an eco-village in the middle of the Prokletije mountains, one of the best eco-villages in Montenegro. We cater to guests who love and understand the mountains. We grow various vegetables for our restaurant. Come and enjoy the beauty of this place by helping us in the kitchen or cleaning rooms or serving as a waiter whatever it's easy for you. This means a lot to us.

I had a great time atthe lodge! I felt instantly welcomed and at ease. I worked the evening shift and really enjoyed it, the tasks were simple and easy to get the hang of! You get 3 yummy meals and have a lot of time to go on hikes and relax while you're there! Although the volunteer room is in need of a revamp I found it rather cozy.

I had a lot of fun at my stay here, however the night I got there I was made to wait for over an hour at the hotel in the town. The communication to start my work and know what to do was very difficult to begin with. It gets better after the first day, the people are lovely and I didn't work more than 4 hours a day. Getting to the town is a little difficult and we did run out of water and electricity a few times. We were given a heater to use as it got cold in the room but the staff are nice and I had a lot of fun!

Had an awesome two weeks in Gusinje! The work was great, the food was fantastic, and the whole experience was an absolute blast. Big shoutout to Doni, Linda and Rambo for making it such a great time, as well as all the other volunteers who made the experience even better. Would happily do it all over again!

My time at the lodgewas amazing! The work was easy and distributed between each volunteer. We had lots of free time to explore and go on nearby hikes! The staff is always willing to help with anything, including scheduling a taxi to and from the hikes. I already miss playing cards and volleyball with everyone! Overall, it was a great experience!!

I really enjoyed my stay! The owners/kitchen staff (especially Doni, Linda, and Ramush) were especially friendly and always joined us for games and volleyball. The work was fun and easy enough, although there could've been more communication early on about what exactly was expected/needed from us. Overall I would recommend this for a little break in nature (it is remote) with some great people!
