I really enjoyed my stay at Katja's hostel. Not only was the work super easy and flexible, but the atmosphere was also incredibly relaxed. Perfect to conect with nature. I had an amazing month and visited many beautiful places in Slovenia. I highly recommend this place. Thank you for having me :)

I had an amazing time in Prapetno! Katja is such a kind and caring host who truly cares for you and wants you to have a wonderful experience. She explained the tasks and when to get them done by. I felt at ease immediately! Prapetno at first sight is quiet and calm but there is a lot of nature to be explored! The neighbours are friendly and it is worth getting to know everyone. This is one of the most beautiful and incredible places I have visited and have made connections I am truly grateful for! Thank you Katja!

It was perfect ! The work is easy, you share a room/kitchen/bathroom with the other volunteers. You have access to bikes and standing paddles. The Soča river is 5min away by foot. You can hike, visit, or just chill. It is a very safe place and the host, Katja, is the most loving and caring person I have met ! I recommend !

Had the best time in Tolmin. Katja the host was so kind and welcoming. The area is quite but incredibly beautiful with so much nature and historical sites to explore. The work was simple and quick with cheap groceries stores nearby to cook in the volunteer kitchen!! Couldn't recommend more

I highly recommend staying in Prapetno! It was a wonderful experience!! The place is gorgeous and the host is truly lovely. As volunteers, you get a private space all to yourselves, and it's very spacious. For the tasks, the work is straightforward: keeping the hostel clean and handling a few check-ins. There's a lot of flexibility and you can manage the workload as a team however you like. I truly felt right at home, so I can only recommend it. Thank you for everything !
