Why does workaway.info allow listings of hosts who charge money?
In developing countries (Where most hosts are involved in charity work or community development) some of our hosts may ask for a small donation to help the host family or charity (often less then 5 dollars per day) Workaway will allow this listing when the donation goes directly to the family or charity and is just to cover the cost of the volunteer‘s stay. (This will be clearly marked on the host listing).
We will strictly not allow listings posted by agents, “middle men” or projects who we feel are looking to profit from a volunteers stay.

$5 to help with food and expenses

We had a wonderful time staying with Gopal and Juno, they made us feel completely at home and looked after us very well. Juno's home cooking was delicious, giving us a taste of many different Nepali dishes, and we were also able to share some of our own cooking with them, making a couple of meals from back home in Scotland. They were so welcoming… read more

Wow, what an amazing time I had staying with Gopal and Junu!!
I stayed at their place on Lovely Hill for about a month, and it was over much too soon. By the time I left, I truly felt like part of their family and I couldn't believe it was time for me to leave already!
Before I arrived at their place, I picked up a nasty stomach bug in Kathmandu… read more

I stayed 10 days at Juno and Gopal's house and it was an amazing experience. Everyday I would wake up with a sweet cup of black tea, then work a little in the garden (for instance, take care of the compost to make a good soil for the vegetables), and chill at the farm or go to Lakeside, meet their brother-in-law who owns a restaurant and cook some… read more

We stayed with Gopal and Juno in April and May. They truly are our family now. While travelling around Nepal we decided to come back in May. The couple is very caring and would always treat you like a family. The house is on the hill overlooking the city of Pokhara and it is very peaceful.
Rooms are also very nice and clean. You can experience '… read more

Gopal and Junu are excellent hosts and provided my wife and I with a unique experience outside of the touristy area of Lakeside.

It's an amazing house with incredible views. The location is peaceful and we were able to take lovely walks each day. We ate delicious home cooked food and spent time getting to know our hosts, their way of life and… read more

Junu and Gopal are a charming couple living in the outskirts of Pokhara. Staying at their house, felt like staying at our Nepali family. Through generous motherly care, Junu made our two days stay an experience we will remember for the rest of our trip. The house is about an hour walk from Pokhara's lakeside (some said it is 30 minutes walk, but… read more

We've been with gopal and Juno in january, sory about the late review. For us it was not a workaway, it was more like a homestay, because we did not worked. But it was a good days we spend in the mountain and the couple was very friendly with us. We had some nice experiences.

My friend and I stayed at Gopal and Junu's house during four nights. Gopal and Junu are a very nice couple and made our stay pleasurable. We enjoyed experiencing Nepalese way of life, and helping him in the garden. There are nice walks to do around the area. As it is said in the previous comments, the lakeside is not too far away from their place.… read more

Gopal and Junu are the best hosts you can hope for !
We had a amazing time at their place, and we came back twice during our stay in Nepal.
Their house is very nice and comfy, in this beautiful area where you can admire Pokhara from the lovely hill. It is a good oppotunity to be in the nature and not too far from to the lake side (40min by… read more
