I stayed for a month.. the environment is beautiful, surrounded by nature with great hikes, and Roger’s way of organizing things was excellent. However, I found the communication from the founders at times a bit emotionally charged and not always grounded, especially when it came to giving feedback or addressing group matters, which surprised me for a place centered around community and conscious living. At €900 per month, having to clean bathrooms twice a week and cook twice for 10–15 people felt like quite a lot for the price. My room was also next to a busy road - something light sleepers might want to check in advance. What I missed most was a real feedback culture. Even after living there for a month, no one asked for input or reflections, which felt like a missed opportunity to grow together. I also had to follow up myself about the deposit weeks later. It also felt a bit unclear whether Kalart wants to be a genuine community or more of a business. As a short-term guest, it was sometimes harder to integrate, as many residents had already formed a tight group and most activities happened spontaneously. On the positive side, I met some truly like-minded people with whom I’ll definitely stay in touch. Overall, a beautiful place with great potential.
