it’s a well run place, and there are people who return from year to year, it feels like a genuine community in a loose way because there is also a lot of short term stay people-churn. but i’d say you’re likely to get friendly people and a friendly culture no matter who is currently there.
the restricted transport and connectivity forces you to adjust, slow down and also team up with others, you’ll need to wait for a group trip or ask for a ride or team up with other guests to rent a car.
i heard people often say they felt cooped up and needed to leave the house, but i also saw people often very happy and finding ways to go out and explore. i also saw people enjoying themselves in the common areas either chilling out or bonding. i loved the hammocks.
in the hot summer i recommend waiting til after 6pm, then the 20 minute walk to the nearest supermarket is tolerable, it’s open til 9.30pm. i would walk fully dressed into the shower then walk to the supermarket dripping wet to deal with the heat.
there’s currently no rideshare app/uber and a ten minute taxi ride anywhere in tivat costs 30eur.
there are bikes available to borrow and things within biking distance if you can stand the heat.
the owner also runs tour groups so we were offered some great experiences at discount prices, like a boat ride across the bay, and free paddle boarding.
we were also able to freely use the waterfront facilities of a nearby hotel, thanks to a deal the owner of playworking has made.
a co living in a country like this will inevitably have stray animals around, i’ve seen it in portugal, south east asia etc, anywhere like this. i observed some guests here finding this stressful, and it was an ongoing topic.
there is also a resident dog who is very sweet and well cared for.
the internet is fast and whenever there was a technical problem it was addressed as soon as it was reported.
the kitchen facilities were sufficient in my opinion, the stove top was a bit slow. i was glad there was a blender.
the neighborhood feels very safe, initially i was confused that the rooms had no locks but when the existing guests confirmed there was no culture of locking the rooms, i relaxed. there was no mention of security issues.
it’s an elevated spot, there are nice views of the water and mountains and great sunsets.
overall i recommend but go into it with awareness!
I loved staying at playworking! great spot to work, relax, and enjoy the beautiful beaches and nature around. with great atmosphere and fantastic people , I had the best time there! the rooms are very comfortable, as the co working and the shared places. will definitely come again!
I've stayed at a few co-living spaces; this is far and away the best. A perfect mix of community and private space; some of the most beautiful scenery you'll come across; swimming spots (often entirely to yourself) within a ten-minute cycle; ultra-fast and dependable Wi-Fi (no issues I can recall with a couple of months over two visits); very fair prices; and great people. I am back for my third "low season" visit; I recommend Playworking Montenegro unreservedly.
My time in playworking was magical! I went to work and visit Montenegro, and everything exceeded my expectations. I had my own room with all my space and worked wonderfully in the offices with excellent internet connection. I met kind-hearted people with whom we shared trips and trekking in our free time, and I discovered that Montenegro has it all: sea, mountains (in February I was able to snowboard), cities, and bars. Jeffrey was super welcoming and helped me by picking me up at the airport. Plus, the house has absolutely everything, from kitchen utensils to things for all kinds of sports. Brownie is the house dog, and I loved spending time with her. What can I say? This experience is indescribable; this place helped me rebalance myself and find serenity. I want to return in the summer!
Here is an amazing place to live, work and play! Jeffrey is very friendly and helpful. Living with trustful international people, practicing many languages and exchanging cultures!
OMG!!🙌👍👍

greetings from Holland🇳🇱🇲🇪
i love you Julia!🇧🇷
I had a really good time at Playworking, although it was in the middle of the winter and I stayed relatively shortly. It was super easy to make friends and I fell in love with the location, the house and Brownie, Jeffrey's dog. I think it's a really good option for digital nomads and volunteers to reset and focus on yourself while being able to socialize with people at the same time.
There is a lot of space, a complete/spacious kitchen and fast WI-FI, which are definitely the 3 most important things for me being a digital nomad.
If you have any requests, Jeffrey takes initiative and helps you with whatever you need. For example, I wanted to go skiing and he was very helpful and proposed a plan. In the end I didn't go, but I appreciated his willingness to help.
What Jeffrey could Improve on:
- I think some of the furniture could be improved. The benches are not very ergonomic, so I didn't feel they were very comfortable. Also some desk chairs in the office are old and need replacement.
- I found that some of the volunteers work much harder than others. Jeffrey can be much stricter with volunteers freeriding their way into free accommodation. It's not fair for the other volunteers, nor for customers like me who are paying money for rent.
- I felt very fortunate to have a car on me, otherwise it's quite hard to get around, so you will be more dependent on others. (The location is stunning but isn't the easiest, as it's very hilly and not super close a big supermarket or anything, I can only imagine how much harder this is in summer heat).
My time at playworking was great, the location is perfect for deep work and close enough to both nature and city breaks. Jeffrey’s hospitality makes the difference compared to other commercial style colivings. And the garage full of Royal Enfield’s was the cherry on the top.
