Just really was not what I had in mind for a coliving. I experienced multiple issues while at play working, and the communication was what really ruined it for me. If you want to volunteer, they seemed to be having the best time - as they used the car as they pleased. However, the volunteers really weren't on it while I was there and it was explained to me that it's more of a "house share" than a co living you're paying for. The group outings were organized around the volunteers schedule and not the paying guests, for example. The best trips I went on while there were self organized, so just plan for that. The website advertised multiple things that weren't true that I think have been updated since, but was annoying at the time. The wifi was unreliable and I had to go to a cafe multiple times - and when I asked if it was fixed we found out none of the volunteers had told the owner it was down. When sharing my issues with the owner, he was so defensive it was really just a waste of time. I was offered a free week if I wanted to come back, but won't use it. Overall - I wish I had stayed somewhere else. It would have been cheaper and more convenient. I also received assurance from multiple other people that I shouldn't let this color my idea of a coliving because most are much better.

Best first coliving experience. I could try to explain all of it but you just have to experience the legendary Voli runs, sunsets, SUP, and just great vibes in the house. It’s access to the surrounding cities, activities, and especially the water make Playworking an S-tier spot.

I could spend all day explaining why staying at Playworking has amazed me in so many ways. From sunset paddleboarding to dipping after work, this is the place to be.

I was planning to stay for one month (August 2022) but decided to leave after three days. - There is no air conditioning in the house at all. It is extremely hot during the day, and I found it very difficult to concentrate on my work and to sleep at night. - The work desks are in no way ergonomically suitable. If this is important for you to know. - You are very isolated. Biking and walking are extremely far and difficult, especially since you are on top of a hill. - While there, I found out that trips to the supermarket are very rare. Even if you bought a lot of food, there's not enough storage in the kitchen or in the fridge for you to store it. - The kitchen always felt dirty, no matter how often they cleaned it. I found the heat and the inconsistency of getting food too inconvenient for me to be productive. The place ended up being much rougher than I expected, so I decided to take a loss and left without the ability to get back my $1,100 booking fee. Additionally, I found it strange that no one in management asked why I was leaving after just three days.

The best place for work and have fun in Montenegro! I arrived at the beginning of March for two months at Playworking to enjoy the beautiful Montenegrin spring by the sea while working remotely - and it was a great decision. In all of Montenegro, this is the only place where you can combine work and leisure with all the amenities. There is an usual sea (though you won't find such purity anywhere else in the world) and there's a sea of entertainment, trips and walks through resort towns, paddleboarding, hiking through the picturesque mountains of Montenegro, and of course, an awesome community of the most interesting people from all over the world. During my stay, there were people from America, Slovakia, England, Brazil, Italy… From atmospheric hangouts to networking for the future. There simply can't be any downsides here. And of course, play hard, but WORK hard. And with work, there are only advantages here. Where else can you live in the purest nature with a view of both the mountains and the sea, the fastest internet, and comfortable workspaces? Only here, at Playworking. Of course, I must mention the owner of this place - Jeff. An American living both in England and Montenegro, and speaking excellent Russian - you can only find this in Montenegro! A very interesting and multifaceted person, with whom you can sit in the evenings and discuss absolutely anything. Jeff is always in touch and can help with advice, and often with action. For example, he helped me to rent a car on the most favorable terms without deposits and credit cards, which are required in rental agencies. If you are still thinking about whether it's worth it or not - don't waste time, throw your swim trunks in the suitcase and head straight to Playworking, you'll thank me later. And a bit more specifics: 1. Internet - consistently 100mbs+ and 4G catches perfectly 2. Workspaces - desks to suit any taste, comfortable chairs, and even a monitor is available if someone needs it 3. Kitchen with any utensils for cooking anything you want, pizza oven 4. Grocery store 20 min on foot or 5 min by scooter or 5 min by car

I stayed in Playworking in January and February this year and had an excellent stay. I was looking for somewhere that would save me money and be quiet to work over the winter months and it fitted the bill - I found a good balance of relaxation and getting work done. I stayed in a double room next to the lounge on the first floor with underfloor heating. The lounge had a wood burner that I lit most days, so all in all very warm and comfortable. It also has a big balcony overlooking the mountains and sea. I think staying in winter is a different experience from the summer, while the weather was way better than I expected (t-shirt weather on sunny days) the water is too cold for water sports (as I anticipated and tbh don't have much interest in) and there are less coworkers and volunteers around. That fitted me really well as we still had a lovely group staying there and had film and game nights, and got out on excursions at weekends (Kotor in particular was really peaceful with way fewer tourists), while I still had peace and quiet to get work done. I walked daily into the smaller supermarket in the village about 20-25 minutes away (the walk has stunning views and i liked the exercise) and the owner Jeffrey also does bigger super market runs a couple of times a week. There is also a really good indepenedent coffee shop the other side of the village. Overall, I would really recommend a winter stay - especially for the price - and I'm planning to do it again in October and November.

I had an amazing time at Playworking. I went paddle boarding almost every day, and went on a variety of other activities with the house. We even did a roadtrip to Domitor as a house! The location is a bit far from the city but that is also an advantage because its more rural and nature orientated. The downside being its difficult to get to town without a car, but we made a plan. I left my laptop and backpack on a bus and Jeffrey(the owner) rescued it by following it on his motorcycle. I was so grateful! I enjoyed my time and would stay again. It was one of the highlights of my entire 5 Month trip.

It's a great coliving. I stayed at Playworking for 2 weeks. The community was made up of half remote workers and half volunteers. It's a big house with many areas from where you can work. Wifi was very good too. Being able to use the bicycles, kajaks, and paddle boards for free was great!
