Project Bay - Coworking

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Warning: Acute danger of chronic happiness! If you're looking for a place to wallow in self-pity, this is definitely the wrong place. I'm still amazed at how so much warmth and friendliness can be packed into one project! The room & the view: My apartment was so clean, I could have eaten off the floor (but I did opt for the table, after all, good manners). But the real boss is the workspace. When you're sitting up there working, you look out at this view and completely forget that you were supposed to be writing emails. 10/10 for the view, 0/10 for concentration – it's just too beautiful! The heart and soul of the place (The legend: Sissi): Let's get down to brass tacks: Sissi isn't just the "mom" of the place, she's a walking ray of sunshine. The most amazing woman Rügen (and probably the rest of the world) has ever seen! The tarte flambée: An absolute revelation. Vegan check: Sissi has a heart for everyone. Even if you don't eat meat, you'll be so spoiled with culinary delights here that you almost forget you're vegan. Vegans are definitely not left out here – on the contrary, it's a feast! Dog-friendliness: My four-legged friend was also part of the group. Often, you're treated like a walking flea taxi when you have a dog, but here? Dogs are absolutely welcome! My dog ​​is seriously considering relocating here permanently and simply sending me home. Conclusion: Great place, great view, fantastic food, and the world's best Sissi. Anyone who doesn't book here is missing out. I'll definitely be back – even if it's just to adopt Sissi or steal another tarte flambée! Thanks for the fantastic time! 🌊🐶🍕

We spent New Year's Eve with our dog in one of the apartments for the third time. The price per night has doubled this year, and what's offered isn't commensurate with the price. Only the apartments facing the sea are suitable for New Year's Eve, as the main road is noisy on the street side, and fireworks are set off loudly and for a long time from the houses opposite. Below is the feedback we sent to the owner after our stay, to which we unfortunately received no response. A real shame! Dear Sir/Madam, We spent New Year's Eve again in your apartment on Rügen and have now been your guests for the third time. As with our previous stays, we felt very comfortable and greatly appreciated the location (facing the sea) and the peaceful atmosphere. ``` Nevertheless, we would like to raise a few points that we have noticed again and which, in our opinion, would significantly improve the comfort of the apartment: - We do not consider the doubling of the price from €67 (in 2023 and 2024) to €137 per night justified for the "basic" furnishings provided in the apartment. - There is still no suitable storage space for clothing (e.g., a wardrobe or chest of drawers). - There is no trash can in the bathroom. - There is no radiator in the bathroom, so it was always cold. - There is also no second bedside table with a lamp. - The kettle in the kitchen should be replaced, as the lid is broken. - The kitchen equipment should be improved; for example, there is no chopping board. These points were already raised by another tenant in a public review two years ago. At that time, you replied that corresponding improvements had been made. Unfortunately, we have now discovered that these improvements have not yet been implemented, or at least not in the room we rented. We cannot understand this. With the significant price increase, the comfort level, which we previously considered perfectly adequate, should also be improved. Something else is unclear to us: We specifically requested the last room on the left by phone – it also has a chest of drawers – and were told we couldn't have it because a dog lives in the room opposite. However, during our stay, a couple with a dog were able to move in there without any problems. We don't like anonymous reviews and have taken the time to provide this important feedback. Thank you for your reply and best wishes for 2026.

Anyone who wants to enjoy a view of the water while working will find this the perfect place. The co-working space is modernly furnished and offers delicious coffee, fast Wi-Fi, and a fantastic view for a reasonable daily fee. Lunch breaks can be wonderfully spent with a walk, a swim, or stand-up paddleboarding (included). Those who also want to stay overnight can add this on at a reasonable price. This is where my only complaint comes in: the beds creak quite a bit, and because of the thin walls, I can hear the creaking, alarm clocks, and conversations of my neighbors. I was a bit unlucky that some guests had to get up at 3 a.m., and I woke up right along with them. Nevertheless, I would come back again, with earplugs in my bag, because it was truly idyllic, beautiful, and relaxing. Thank you for this great co-working location, dear Project Bay team.

If you need accommodation and at the same time have peace and quiet to work while traveling, this is definitely a great space to use.

Unfortunately, online check-in didn't work. No one could be reached by phone. The building doesn't look well-maintained from the outside. There was no refund.

You can certainly spend time here. The rooms are spacious and quite clean. I just find the overall atmosphere takes some getting used to. But that's easy enough.

Nice room. Quiet location. Dogs allowed. Beautiful forest for walks and close to the beach.

Very friendly staff

This is the worst place I have ever stayed in my entire life. The place leaks horrifically, leaving a constant damp smell throughout the building. EDIT; To the attention of Jeanette NO I will not delete my review, I stayed here with TRAC renewables, my laptop was destroyed because of your leaking rooms, I was extremely kind giving you over a YEAR to at least try to put it through the insurance, but now after you have failed to do so you give me no choice but to leave an accurate review.

Wasn't my first choice to stay here, but work insisted we had to with no other reason than convenience for them. The rooms I can only describe as Josef fritzels basement x 10! Waking up in the middle of the night looking up at the masses of cobwebs and arachnids gives you quite the freight! Damp and moist rooms must have been the requirements of the building regulation as I've stayed in more than a handful of these dwellings, and they are all the same, even some having leaks. Make sure you get insurance on your electronics as we all have damage to our personal belongings with no liability from our company or the accommodation management. Good luck! (Only a fool would stay here)

I desperately needed a vacation, the 3 days were great, I'd love to come back next year for a few more days. My friends and I would like to learn kayaking from my friend and plan a longer vacation, visit the beach, and the staff is super friendly and everything is great. The vacation spot is wonderful, everything was fantastic, we even got to see the Störtebeker Festival. Thanks for the great time!

I thank the whole team for the great time that I and my friends were able to have, and especially for the great apartment.

I needed a break after a difficult time. This was the perfect place to relax. A wonderful welcome and a great introduction to everything by the lovely Jeanette. I had a single room overlooking the lagoon. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the common room with a kitchen was very well equipped. I felt completely at ease. Thank you so much for everything. I'd love to come back again. Best regards, Conny.

I had a wonderful time at Project Bay Lietzow. I desperately needed a break and left happy and refreshed, satisfied with the amount of work I accomplished, the hiking, the sunsets, and the beauty of nature. I will definitely come back, perhaps with some friends, to work from home together and then enjoy nature after work. Everything is very well-maintained and clean. The kitchen really has everything you need. I thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet. All in all, I fell in love with this place and this workation location!

Combine work and vacation. If you need it, it's possible and feasible here.

It looks bleak, no proper parking spaces. They're all closed.

Great concept that has proven successful on Rügen for a year now! Keep it up!

I simply had to get away after the long winter. I enjoy working in my campervan in the summer, but at this time of year, it's a bit tricky. This place was the perfect solution: I arrived in my campervan, was able to park in the garden with a view of the lagoon, and use the sanitary facilities, the kitchen, and the workspaces. I got so much work done this week and, at the same time, relaxed completely thanks to the peace and quiet and the incredible view. During the day, I always took a few hours for bike rides (an e-bike or good physical condition is a big advantage!) and then another one or two hours at my desk... perfect! I tried coworking for the first time and loved chatting and exchanging ideas with others in the kitchen. I'd love to come back.

A lovely place to walk the dog and a great view – perfect for rest and relaxation.

Really beautiful and super nice 👍🏽 See you soon 😍

Great, working with a view of the lagoon. Friendly owners and always something going on.

My business partner and I rented a room for a day at Project Bay Coworking on Rügen. The view of the Baltic Sea was breathtaking, and the friendly staff contributed to a pleasant atmosphere. Ideal for productive work in an inspiring environment.

A great, modern place. Free kayak rentals, a full-day bike rental for only €8, and free coffee and tea.

Since the company also offers overnight accommodation, I took advantage of this, as I was in the area on business. The rooms (including single rooms) are comfortably furnished. I was just a bit stressed and couldn't fall asleep right away (I had to get up around 4 a.m. the next day), and the constant noise of other people in the hallway in the evening was a little disruptive. However, the good thing was that I could also use the tea, water, some food, and the kitchen – coworking and co-living in all areas, which I can only applaud. The night was short, but the stay was still good. I think I could easily imagine staying there again.

5/5!

I'm very happy here. I can work in peace and quiet, and you can make phone calls in designated offices or from the phone booth. The various common areas are also great. Personally, I prefer a single room, which is perfectly adequate. My motto is, you don't need much to live. The view of the water is priceless, and the idyllic setting is a dream. Cycling is a great option, and you can have barbecues in the garden. When it's warmer, you can head out on your SUP or canoe right after work. I also want to mention Jeanette, the all-rounder and community manager, who is always there to help and advise. A very pleasant person! 🤗 If my employer allows it, I will definitely come back.

Special location. A really ugly early 1990 architecture crime on a top location filled with cool modern life. Workation with seaview. Direct train connection, beach (kite spot), self catering kitchen, fellow coworkers on evening campfire, standard callcenter office with some nice gimmicks … I was there in winter and it worked. Summer must be fantastic (I love the Baltic sea). Be prepared for very functional accomodation style - there is still a huge potential to make it more fancy (I was running a award winning top rated hostel in stiff Berlin competition for 15 years and consider me an expert).

This year was my second time visiting Project Bay on Rügen, and once again I was thrilled by the unique atmosphere of this co-working space, the picturesque sunsets, the networking with the other co-workers, and the fantastic Project Bay team! I'd love to come back!

Absolutely perfect!

Highly recommended accommodation! We weren't here primarily for work, but we found the coworking concept very successful. The coworking and coliving spaces are stylish and super functional. We'll be back, next time with some work in tow. The room was very clean. Great view with direct lake access and free SUP and kayak use 😄

Great accommodation!! We stayed here for three days and were absolutely thrilled with the overall package. A great co-working concept, perfect for working but also for clearing your head. Friendly people, a beautiful and clean location, and excellent services (kitchen, free stand-up paddleboards and kayaks, bike rentals, and a games room). Our expectations were exceeded. Highly recommended!

I've been working from here as a coworker for two weeks now and can highly recommend it. Professional, relaxed, friendly, and fair. A lot of things run very smoothly and efficiently for both sides, based on mutual trust and respect.

Project Bay is a great place to work and feel at ease at the same time. I had an amazing week there and very much enjoyed to be surrounded by such beautiful landscape and nice people. The whole space is arranged very practically and with lots of love for details. The shared kitchen is very well equipped. I particularly liked that you could use the co-working space, kitchen & garden, do the laundry, borrow SUPs (all for free by the way) without any "bureaucracy". There is a great community spirit, but it is not distracting - so you can get focused work done at each time of the day/evening. The team is very open-minded and they try hard to accomodate every request. As for getting around: Sassnitz, Binz and Bergen are easy to reach by a short train ride. Some other destinations such as Kap Arcona are difficult to reach without a car (an electric car can also be rented at Project Bay for a fair price). Some tips for your travel preparations: There's no (super)market in Lietzow, so you should do some grocery shopping before your arrival. The dorms are on the road-side so there is quite some traffic noise during the day. Also they are facing East, so in summer the sun will already shine into the room very early. If you are sensitive to noise/light, consider bringing Ohropax/a sleeping mask or book a single/double room facing the waterfront. Last but not least, the lake view from the co-working space is amazing, in particular the evening light and sunsets (see photo). Hoping to return next year!

My place! Work, nature, open and interesting people, an energetic and contagious work atmosphere, and comfortable accommodations. This perfectly reflects my life as a freelancer. I'll definitely be back – thank you!

A great place to work and just be, with amazingly good transport connections. Probably the coworking space with the most beautiful view ever.

Very comfortable and relaxing for working and unwinding. Creative work environment with a great view of the water.

I was there to prepare for my exams. Project Bay is a fantastic way to combine studying or working with a vacation. The location right on the Bodden lagoon is amazing, and the atmosphere at Project Bay is unique! The coworking spaces offer direct views of the water, and you can use breaks to take a quick dip in the fresh air on the beach. The sunsets in the evening are unforgettable, and the nearby Hexenwald (Witches' Forest) is also worth a visit (see photos). If you're traveling without a car, be aware that there are no shops in Lietzow for grocery shopping. However, you can take the bus to neighboring towns for a small fee. All in all, I had a wonderful time with many great people. I will definitely be back!

The beach and forest are very beautiful. The ghost forest is not far away. The glass/concrete block is disgusting. Fishing for trophy perch in the lagoon with waders.

A truly beautiful place to work and network. The working atmosphere and amenities are fantastic. The large kitchen offers all the necessary facilities for self-catering, but you can also grill something outside. Minor problems were dealt with in a friendly manner and resolved quickly. You can tell that the owners are committed to their idea, so they find solutions for many things that you wouldn't take for granted. Thank you for the great time in the Bay, and we'll be back again :)

We stayed here for six nights and were very well looked after. Hannes gave us a warm welcome, and we immediately felt at home. The price-performance ratio is excellent. Cleanliness was a top priority; no matter when you used the shower or toilet, it couldn't have been cleaner. A big thumbs up! We met some wonderful people and enjoyed our holiday. You could even rent bicycles, and kayaks and SUPs were available free of charge. They really thought of everything. We'll definitely be back. P.S.: If you're traveling with a dog 🐕 and it needs to relieve itself, there's no way to dispose of the bag outside, as there isn't a single trash can in any of the parking areas. Best regards from Netti and Coco

Amazing place!

I think the location is fantastic. Friendly, nice staff. I'd gladly come again.

We stayed there for three nights and it was wonderful. Clean rooms and bathrooms, friendly people, and a bright, airy co-working space. We could rent bikes and canoes to explore the area. They even had barbecues in the evenings. I'll remember that weekend for a long time!

Great place for co-working! Fantastic atmosphere, the hosts are very friendly, and it's perfectly located to enjoy nature. The rooms are great too. We'll definitely be back :)

Coworking space located close to nature on the beach. Friendly hosts. We'd love to come back!

Super friendly hosts. You meet great people and can exchange ideas. A place to work and be in holiday mode at the same time.

Nice, quiet, enjoyable. Great staff.

Very tidy and a great host. Very clean. Hostel prices are reasonable. Bicycles are available for rent. Completely satisfied.

I was spontaneously on location for two nights, actually on vacation, because I didn't have a PC with me. But the co-working atmosphere took me a bit and when the owners provided me with a notebook for half a day, I was even able to work a little. Coffee, water and the use of a fully equipped kitchen are included. There is an open atmosphere, if you feel like it you can use the kayak for paddling right outside the door. On one evening we all together, guests and operators, who felt a desire to do so, had a barbecue in the garden with a view of the sea. A nice project, I can only recommend.

Great place to work in a relaxed and beautiful environment.
