Sveta stayed with me for 4 nights as part of a language exchange, she helped me practice my Russian, and I provided accommodation. It was a genuinely wonderful experience. She was generous with her time and patient with my Russian exercises, which I really appreciated. Beyond the language practice, we went out together to a concert and she even cooked for me, both lovely moments that made the whole stay feel more like hosting a friend than an exchange. On the practical side, she's tidy, clean, and very respectful of the home. She's also flexible, fun, and has a great sense of humour. Easy to be around in every way. I'd warmly recommend Sveta to any host. Would love to have her back!

Can't explain in words enough how beautiful and beyond any expectations this place is. Bruno is a very kind and generous person with a little time to spend and a huge heart to give. I enjoyed the time working in the kitchen, the bartendering at the wedding, picking fruits and weeding the garden. this place feels heavenly with the nature around, the pool, the amount of food given every week, the waterfall, the little lake with ducks in front of the volenteers house. im very greatful to have this experience. thanks very much Bruno and family :-)

Rodrigo is a very interesting and creative artist. we prepared for filming a project that was canceled last minute. I enjoyed staying there. rodrigo made sure I have everything I need, instead he took us to drinks at the beautiful beaches, made food and chilled out with the mosquitoes :-) thanks for everything felo artist, hope to see your project coming true

Yiqian came to assist in teaching and caring for the children with great dedication and kindness. She is gentle, patient, and treats every student with equal care and attention. During her time with us, she helped create a warm and friendly learning atmosphere. The children felt happy, more confident, and enjoyed learning much more. She consistently supported the learning process and took good care of the children. Her sincerity and commitment made a positive impression on both teachers and students. We are truly grateful and sincerely appreciate her valuable support. Thank you so much :)

Noam stayed with us for almost four weeks and was a truly valuable help throughout her time here. She took on the responsibility of caring for the cat house, including daily cleaning, feeding, and spending time socializing with the cats. She made sure the space was always clean, organized, and comfortable, and she gave the cats the attention and affection they need, which made a noticeable difference. With the dogs, Noam was involved in cleaning the kennels and outdoor areas, assisting with their general care, and taking them out for walks. She handled these tasks reliably and with great care, always making sure the animals felt safe and well looked after. Noam is a real ray of sunshine. She has a genuine love for animals and treats them with patience, kindness, and respect. At the same time, she is very communicative, easy to be around, and always open to learning new things and improving her skills. She is an excellent team player who quickly connects with others and contributes positively to the group dynamic. At the same time, she is able to work independently, takes initiative, and thinks ahead—qualities that are extremely valuable in a place like ours. We are very grateful that Noam spent this time with us. It was a pleasure having her here, and we would be more than happy to welcome her back anytime in the future.

Eloy & Jose fueron muy amables y nos ayudaron mucho durante su estadia.

Mai was helping for 3 weeks and we have no complains, she is very enthusiastic and have many skills to share, she has a beautiful art in several areas: painting, playing guitar, singing. Thanks and hope to see you again

Maxime & Cassandra was 2 weeks with us, really with us. They did not just work, they did everything with enthusiasm and dedication. They are people with very good energy. We wish them a lot of wonderful experiance.

I stayed with Karen for 10 days in March 2026 & it was a very enjoyable experience. Karen is very friendly, enthusiastic & helpful - & she asks for very little in return for a lovely room with a view over the old town of Cuenca. I did one hour of housekeeping maybe 5 times during my 10 days, a little bit of cooking, & I attended her book club as they were reading a book by an Irish author. Cuenca is a lovely town surrounded by gorges & wonderful landscapes; it is also just an hour by train to Madrid and Valencia, & a bus runs from the bus station to the train station, which is outside of the town. Overall, it was a fantastic cultural exchange & I would recommend it to anyone who loves walking, meeting new people, & experiencing real Spain, away from the costas. Thank you, Karen!

I came to the mill in the dark days of jan-feb and had a wonderfull time with two blizzards! I was sleeping in the converted sheep stable in -12 and had a blast. I did this by choice, if you're not into the cold as much there will probably be a warmer room (with central heating) for those cold cold days ;) I got along well with the other workawayer and made a mosaic around a door and painted the door itself, I loved that project. Other than that I took care of the animals, which are mischievous little beasts. They're great to practice German with (although I practiced some with humans too, they lent me great German books aswell). Aside from that there are many odd-jobs so no day is the same. I'm coming back this july to see the contrast between the more emoty winter and busy summer, so see you then!

My sister Fatima, thank you so much for the wonderful efforts you made with children, both young and old. You were the best teacher and educator. We learned correct English pronunciation from you. We traveled together and had a wonderful time. Fatima has high morals, prepares her lessons meticulously, and gives the children all the talents we have. I hope you will visit us soon. I and the children miss you. We love you so much .we wait you visit us soon

Paso a Paz is a beautiful, creative, welcoming space that really invites many ways of expression and experience. Kike is an amazing host, being a very caring and open minded individual that encourages dance, playfulness, creativity while giving space for any others kinds of experiences. It felt like a co- creation, learning from one another in many different way and spending a connecting and special time. Very grateful for this experience and would always come back😊

John y Ludmi fueron una ayuda fantástica! Siempre proactivos, creativos con el trabajo y muy divertidos de tener cerca. Se integration genial en nuestra familia y en la finca y nos encantaría recibirle de nuevo. Dieron unas Clases de gimnasia hermosas y son excelentes cocineros

Al8ce and Cat stayed with us for two weeks. We enjoyed the moment together. We shared the experience and teach English for kids. Alice and Cat helped me create the video and took a very nice photoes. I am so happy to host them they are so nice people. I highly recommend that you won't be regret if you host them. Thank you

Jérémy est resté avec nous environ deux mois. Tout de suite, nous avons aimé son franc parler, son absence de gêne. Avec une bonne communication, nous avons pu ajuster notre relation au temps et nos attentes. Jérémy vit dans le moment présent : très investi et attentif de chaque membre de la famille. La priorité est l’humain. Les enfants ont adoré apprendre : Jérémy est un excellent pédagogue, patient, curieux, passionné par les sciences. Entre adultes, nous avons aussi eu des conversations riches et passionnantes. Nous partageons l’amour de la bonne bouffe. Jérémy cuisine très bien. Une belle expérience et une amitié qui perdure.

Ich hatte eine sehr schöne Zeit bei Cleo. Die Katzen haben mein Herz maximal erobert und ich vermisse sie unfassbar. Ich hab in meinem ganzen Leben noch nie so viele freundliche Katzen getroffen, die vor allem fürs Bauch kraulen offen sind! Und das bei um die 70 Katzen 🐱 Die Arbeit dreht sich rund ums säubern der cat shelter und das Haus. Ab und zu gibt's auch mal Gartenarbeit. Die Kuschelpausen mit den Katzen beim Arbeiten, lassen die Arbeit eigentlich gar nicht wie Arbeit wirken. Man hat ein eigenes Zimmer und ist mit Essen bestens versorgt. ABER: am besten waren natürlich die Fahrten mitm Auto durch den Fluss😂 Ich wünsche allen das Beste! Und bin froh bei Cleo mein erstes workaway verbracht zu haben 🩷 I had an amazing time at Cleo’s. The cats completely stole my heart, and I miss them so much. I’ve honestly never met so many friendly cats in my life—especially ones that are so open to belly rubs! And that with around 70 cats 🐱 The work mainly involves cleaning the cat shelter and the house. Every now and then there’s also some gardening. The cuddle breaks with the cats during work make it not feel like work at all. You get your own room, and the food situation is great—you’re very well taken care of. BUT: the absolute highlight was definitely the car rides through the river 😂 Wishing everyone all the best! I’m really happy that I got to spend my first Workaway experience at Cleo’s 🩷

Lucy stayed with us for a month and we couldn't get enough of her peaceful energy! She is a very understanding and calm person, full of new ideas. She taught English to our students from different levels and she was able to adjust to each person's needs. We had only good feedback about her during and after her stay. We would love to host her again anytime she wants <3

Irini and Vassilis hosted me last minute and immediately made me feel at home. Despite their busy schedule they found moments to spend together and made sure I had everything I need. The tasks were light and it is a pleasure being around them. Also the area is beautiful and their friends I met were very nice. Thank you so much!

It was Freddy's first volunteering experience. It was a great pleasure to meet him and have him with us. He can do almost everything, he is very manual and takes care of the details. He is always welcome to us. Thank you so much!

Annie was absolutely fantastic! She adapted to the life in the shelter with no issue and always found something that needed to be done, always going an extra mile, super easy to have around and lovely company, the dogs adored her and she even learnt to deal with our mean duck. We really enjoyed having Annie here and she's welcome to come back any time!!!!
