Tuve una gran experiencia durante 3 las tres semanas que estuve junto a Mariam y su hijo Abel en su hogar. Estoy muy agradecida por todos los aprendizajes que me llevé. El lugar, rodeado de bellos animales y de la naturaleza puede ser una gran oportunidad para conectarse con uno mismo y disfrutar, brindando una sensación de paz y tranquilidad. Lo que sí, al estar inserto en la naturaleza y retirado de la ciudad, puede resultar un poco alejado, pero Mariam o su vecina Ana te pueden llevar en 20 minutos hasta la estación de tren más cercana (Bétera), por lo que debes preguntarles y coordinarlo con anticipación. En cuanto al trabajo, las tareas pueden variar de acuerdo a lo que necesite o le propongas a Mariam ella es muy flexible y llegas a acuerdos si se lo comunicas abiertamente. Lo que más disfruté fue alimentar y cuidar a todos sus hermosos animales, es una tarea muy gratificante, en especial, por la oportunidad de conectar con ellos y darles el amor y cuidado que necesitan (si amas a los animales, será una gran experiencia para ti). Gracias Mariam por tu energía desbordante, por las conversaciones, por las recetas de comida deliciosas que me enseñaste y por compartir cada día contigo y tú especial hijo Abel. Y a cada uno de tus animales, en especial a Pino, Chocobo y Marengo por ser unos guardianes y gran compañía ❤️. Te felicito por tu hermoso refugio y por la misión que llevas a cabo de cuidado y protección animal. Abrazos, Paola.

Eat fresh papaya & platano for breakfast, pick your own salad for lunch, enjoy a beautiful melody after dinner and watch the stars in complete silence! As described, you will have a very special experience during your stay in this magical, remote land. This place is for all those who want to (dis)connect deeply, who want to get back to the true basics and are open to discovering something completely new. The man with the sombrero is a very hospitable, gentle and genuinely loving person. You learn a lot about yourself, about Mother Nature with all her intensity, about building and tackling new projects, about permaculture, about nurturing relationships and hopefully also about sowing seeds in the soil (maybe also in the hearts - who knows!?). La Palma is a very beautiful island with great variety. Come and feel it! All the Love to Miguee, the plants & adorable cat mates!! thaank uuu, and until very soon!!!

I had an amazing time with nick and her family. I spend two weeks with nick and her family. lovley people who are kind and patient. Anazing opportunity to get to know the Lao life. If you have a problem nick is happy to help. usually you would stay in a nice bungalow, unfortunately it was broken when a came. but it was still a nice experience to stay on the balcony sorounded by nature with a beautiful view on the river. thanks for the amazing time to you and your family!:)

We had a great time at this beautiful place. We were immediately in awe with what Elona created: the house, nature and views are stunning. We staid for 9 days which Elona was ok with because we slept in our own van (usually her minimum stay is longer). The work was good, we worked quite some hours but time goes fast and we wanted to work :) Elona is experienced with volunteers and this is noticable, we would have 1 or 2 meetings a day to discuss tasks and schedules. We mostly helped with things like dishes, cooking, cleaning, serving the guests and a bit of garden work. The food that Mira made for us was amazing and abundant. The place is vegetarian but Mira accommodated for my vegan diet, which was great. We would have appreciated a bit more time for a (cultural) exchange, but we weren’t there for long and Elona travelled a few days as well. All in all, a great experience, also with the other volunteer Raph. Thanks Elona & Mira!

There are many excellent reviews on this page about this hostel, the incredible atmosphere and lovely staff. Many volunteers stayed here, extended their stay, came back and didn’t want to leave. So even before I arrived I had quite a good feeling about the upcoming months working and living in the heart of Amman. When I arrived, I was welcomed by Omar, who showed me around, gave me my first tour of the hostel and left me speechless because just from the optics and all the cozy spaces to hang out. It is definitely the coolest hostel I have ever been to. In every corner of the building and the terraces you can see and feel how much effort and love has been put to build but also to maintain it. Constantly it is also changing and improving since tourism in Jordan is only growing and Firas, the owner has a ton of ideas. Immediately I felt lucky, that this should be the hostel where I would stay several months and become a part of the team. Very quickly I met all of the wonderful people working there, including Yulia and Firas who run the place. I started my work at the reception and they gave me time to settle in, ask questions and in general the atmosphere was on such a friendly and honest level that I knew I could approach them with my ideas which was always very much welcomed but also could have spoken about problems (which there weren’t in my 4,5 months time). I felt very trusted and with increasing Arabic skills I could also communicate with the other staff members more and more. I spent many hours hanging out with all the wonderful people there and am so grateful about the friendships I have made. Jordan is an excellent place to visit and really take time to understand and dive into Arabic culture. This is why I would recommend everyone to not only fly by in 1-2 weeks but really settle in, meet local people and be open for all the little and big adventures to come. I am very excited about how the whole place will look when I come the next time!

Paul is an amazing young man, mature for his age and extremely helpful. Proactive, responsible, trustworthy and most important a good person. Besides all of that is a pleasure to spend time with him; good conversations, good sense of humour... we will miss him. And he is an incredible chef, oh my I will miss his cooking skills. All the best in your travels amigo, you know you have a home here forever.

Josefina Ed Emanuel due ragazzi intraprendenti. Sono stati ospiti da noi troppo poco tempo. Instancabili attenti al lavoro e soprattutto agli animali. Sempre pronti e disponibili. Abili a fare tutto in campagna e in casa. Non ho mai sentito un no uscire dalla loro bocca sempre educati e cordiali il gulasch di Emu è squisito.

Andrew is a great host. The renovations he's doing on his house are a massive project but he was trusting and not micro-managing at all. He treated me like an apprentice and would explain what we were doing before letting us go for it. I learned some things and enjoyed the work. Outside of work, Andrew was a social and a great host, full of useful recommendations, took us to op shops and out to a brewery one night. Super smart dude, i'd happily work for him again.

Max helped me out last minute. Great dude great area! The accommodation was great and Max was kind and helpful and had good recommendations. The area is great for surfing.

We had a wonderful time with Lyn for our first experience of New Zealand! Lyn picked us up from Queenstown airport (a VIP service we are very grateful for!) as there was no bus running at the time we landed! We then had an amazing drive to Gore with Sophie and Dottie where you can look out the window in awe the whole time! We also explored Omakau, Bluff, Gore, Dunedin (and the Forsyth Barr Stadium!) Alexandra, Ida Valley and Lauder. Lyn you always made us laugh, smile and feel like we were at home and comfortable. Thank you for making our introduction to the South Island very memorable and authentic! We will miss you lots and hope we meet again someday. Tom and Hollie 😎🥰

Wataru, works independently and hard. You do have to check his understanding as he is still learning English. However I did not have any trouble in conveying my instructions. He was mostly gardening while here. He picks up things fairly quickly. His room was left tidy and clean. He has a lovely manner and a happy chap. He also cleaned up after he finished his work for the day and put everything away neatly. I would have Wataru here again, anytime.

We loved being at Kath's place. We were house and cat sitting while Kath was away for a few weeks. Kath was really welcoming, and we had a really clear handover with her, including details of other tasks we could complete as part of the Workaway exchange. They were all really enjoyable tasks, that enabled us to get fully into various projects - including a full overall/improvement of her garden irrigation system, which ticked my love of nature and gardening, and Paul's engineering skills which came into play setting up the automatic system, and fixing various junctions. We also did some painting jobs, some decluttering tasks, and lots of watering of her indoor and veranda plants. Kath kept in great communication with us while we were away - so we could ask any questions, but she also left us be, to get on and enjoy our time in Ibiza. We felt really trusted by Kath, and we had a lovely time exploring the local area - coastal walks, beautiful clear water coves, fishing villages and amazing fresh local food. We also had the pleasure of meeting her amazing children who are so bubbly and happy. We enjoyed outdoor BBQs sitting around the fire pit with them at the end of their stay. It was the perfect first time in Ibiza - away from the party side of the island, but with enough life and culture around. We loved it! Thank you Kath! :)

Kathi and Milos came to us at the end of March and stayed 3 weeks with us and during that time they were a tremendous help in the garden and around the house .... We really enjoyed their company and had many happy evenings and good chats. They did a broad range of jobs and in all weathers so a huge thank you to them both for all their hard work. Hopefully we'll see them again and wishing them good luck for the next chapter back in Germany Thank you Kathi and Milos .......

chris was with me for three weeks and i had a very nice time with him and he will come back. he does all his tasks with joy and leaves the place clean and tidy. he is very empathetic, always friendly and attentive in the house and in every job there is to do. it is also fun to work together with him when it comes to solving a problem. he has good ideas and also accepts those of others. so a common solution can emerge. he is always welcome back at my place.

Noemie's dedication to volunteering is truly commendable. Her passion for sustainable practices and community involvement shines through in her work. Noemie's efforts are making a meaningful impact, and her commitment to making the world a better place is truly inspiring. Thank you, Noemie, for all that you do

It was a pleasure hosting Maria and Maren There dedication and hard work are truly commendable. Their efforts in supporting sustainable agriculture and contributing to the local community are invaluable. Consider yourself lucky if they volantear for your project Girls you are always welcome

I had a wonderful time with Gonzalo,Kat, Miles and the volunteers, drinking beer in the evening and enjoying good moments The work was nice and chill, you go at your own rhythm and you are quite independent (that's the best) The general vibe of the hostel is amazing, clients are nice, location is top If you go there you'll feel how good and easy life can be you'll feel home very quick and time will pass very fast I loved this little island life with you guys, thank you enjoyyyy

Leo is an amazing person for one so young! Mature beyond his years. He has a good work ethic, uses his common sense and contributes to "strategizing"! We found him to be kind, polite and thoughtful. And he has a great sense of humour and is a good conversationalist. We were very grateful for his input to the boring task of renovating our pool. Scraping and cleaning old cement off for days on end. But he was also happy to get on with whatever task came up. We were sorry when he left and will miss him.

Green bird ostrich farm is a place where you can learn about the habits and behaviour of different species of animals while caring for them. There you will meet ostriches, emus, peacocks, guinea fowl, geese, ducks, chickens, guinea pigs, cats and a big smart dog - Indy. If you're at the farm at the right time of year, not only will you learn how, when and where ostrich eggs are collected, but you'll also find out how to use an incubator and the specifics of hatching ostrich chicks from eggs. If you have any questions, ask Gail and she will answer them in detail. One of the most enjoyable things about my two week stay was the communication and interactions I had with the large African and Australian birds. For people interested in sports, the rural school has a basketball court and one of the best calisthenics facilities in the country. I thank Gail for her hospitality and the new things I have learned from her.

Jim stayed 4 weeks on the farm and his help was precious! No need to explain twice what needs to be done. Though young, he is able to work on his own and quick, loves to work outside and do heavy jobs like using a streamer, chainsaw, etc. He is good willing, open minded, calm, good company, polite, respectful, easy going. You can rely on him. I wish he will be back another time!
