My two weeks volunteering at the lodgeKaty in Montenegro were truly an amazing experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the people I met were kind, creating strong friendships along the way. The work was rewarding, with manageable shifts that left plenty of time to explore the beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed stunning hikes through nature, and I loved how the community emphasized sustainable living practices. It was a perfect balance of meaningful work and free time.

This is a great opportunity that allows you to explore the national park area and go on incredible hikes. The host family is very friendly and does everything possible to make sure volunteers are happy and comfortable. The work is pretty easy and you will not need to spend money much at all during the stay. You do need to be assertive though and speak up/call when you need help because you will likely be left alone sometimes. Also apart from hiking there is not much else to do the place is a 45 min walk from the nearest town/market. But you can likely get a ride there from the hosts.

I had a wonderful experience atthe lodge! Doni and his family immediately created a welcoming and respectful environment and I felt like I was part of a family. The hours were respected, I worked 7 to 12 on breakfast shift and had the rest of the day to explore or have my own free time. I had some really meaningful experiences and I am grateful to everyone at the lodgefor making my stay so comfortable. The other volunteers were great, I would go back in a heartbeat!

I loved my stay atthe lodge! Doni is one of the best hosts I have ever had, the hours/tasks are super clear and he makes a huge effort to make sure you enjoy your stay! Everyone there is so nice and welcoming. The nature is beautiful and you have lots of time to enjoy the surrounding hikes with waterfalls, springs, mountains etc. You can also walk into town along the way :) I would just be a bit cautious about the tap water. Thank you so much Doni!

My time at the lodgewas absolutely amazing. Edon, Man and their family were so so nice and immedeately made me feel very welcome. I enjoyed my free time during the day by doing hikes in the surrounding areas. In the evening I was a waitress during dinnershift and I really liked socialising with the guests. The other volunteers were also fantastic. I've made very good friends there and plans to meet again later this year. This place has gotten a special place in my heart and I would love to go back someday :)
