Sven was with us for six weeks. He is a very pleasant individual and was a big help to our Sanctuary Manager, Daren. He and Daren set up our mobile catch pen shortly after he arrived but unfortunately due to high winds that kept blowing the gate closed, we didn't actually catch any donkeys while he was here. However, Sven did get some "action" when he helped bring in an abused donkey in our trailer. He also helped Daren treat the Sanctuary donkeys for external parasites and helped control them for their castration surgery. We were grateful for Sven's help and would welcome him back any time.

Amelia & Finlay are an amazing couple we are glad to have met. During their stay they were friendly, proactive and respectful. They were helping us a lot in our garden and future home. They were so lovely to Mateo and were helping us as well with him. I really appreciate the time they spent with us. For us it was very special that they were staying with us, as they became part of the family. They will have forever part in this big dream we are building together. Thank you again! We appreciate it so so much!

Nora est une jeune femme super capable et autonome. Tres agréable et elle voit le travail. Grace a sont parcours de vie elle est tres mature pour son age.

Adrià & Judith were an absolute pleasure to host. From the moment they arrived, they were friendly, respectful, and easy to have around. They approached every task with a great attitude and genuine care, whether it was improving the rabbit enclosure, helping with caravan renovation, collecting materials for the wetland project, or assisting with animal care. They worked well together, stayed motivated, and were always happy to get involved. Beyond the work, they were fantastic company. We shared some great meals and conversations, and they brought a really positive, relaxed energy to the place. They were tidy, considerate, and made the most of their time here while also contributing meaningfully to the property. I’d happily recommend Adrià & Judith to any future host—they’re exactly the kind of people that make the Workaway experience so rewarding.

Savannah was our first workaway stay of 2026 and what an amazing start to the year for us this was 💖 We were delighted to host for an extended stay of nearly 2 months and our whole family enjoyed the experience so so much from start to finish. When we met on video call it felt like we hit it off well and the conversation was relaxed and easy and this was how things continued to roll on so smoothly during the stay. I happily commited to Savannah’s stay a good few months in advance because of her commitment and the two glowing references she was able to provide me from work in Australia.. it became very apparent in her stay with us as to how incredably true every positive word said was about her. ✨💫 Savannah was our youngest workaway helper and she really seemed to naturally adapt and fit into our family day to day life so well, very much becoming and feeling part of it. Savannah had no trouble picking up and adapting to our help requirments within the first few days and always took the work on with an extremelly positive attitude all throughout the stay. Nothing was a problem, always punctual, reliable and flexible with our day to day routines. I always felt the sense that she was there for me if I needed help, often checking in with me when familiy life was busy and asking me what I needed or even been one step ahead of me already. We all became very good friends but what was extra special about this stay was that Savannah managed to build a really positive friendship with our teenage son who can sometimes keep to himself these days. I really want to praise her amazing natural abililty and talent to connect with this age group and I can definetly see this been a future career pathway. Always super chillied energy, relaxed, fun, great humour but with sensible and lovely calm bounderies. We really appreciated so much that she went above and beyond in taking an active interest in our son’s sports hobbies and making connections with him though this. She spent time on her weekends at his rugby games, which I know really ment a lot to him I could easily keep going a few more paragraths of lovely things to say but I hope this review gives enough positive feeback that she deserves to be considered for any future workaway roles. We wish you all the best on your exciting travel adventures Savannah and we feel very privilaged to have been part of your journey. We really hope to see you again in the future, your always welcome anytime to visit us. Keep in touch!

Flavia was a genuine pleasure to host. She was always willing to get involved across a wide range of tasks, including farm work, fencing, painting, gardening, and helping around the house. Her attitude was consistently positive, and she approached everything with care and reliability. Beyond her work, Flavia was a lovely person to have around. We shared some great meals and conversations, and she contributed to a really enjoyable atmosphere during her stay. She was respectful, easygoing, and great company. I’d happily recommend Flavia to anyone considering hosting her in the future.

Grace was fun to host for a couple weeks. She is an avid birdwatcher and drew our attention to the skies - always a wonderful place to look. She helped with cooking group meals, cleaning, sifting compost, tilling gardens, pruning trails, and was generally enjoyable to discuss the world with. I sincerely hope our paths cross again. She is a very sweet person, and her stay truly exemplified Workaway's commitment to cultural exchange.

Pierce was a joy to have around. He has a positive, can-do attitude and is a pleasant conversationalist. During his visit he helped with trail work, preparing gardens for the season, sifting compost, cooking meals, and some painting. We are hoping to see him again in June!

joe is a very kind, gentle and considerate person. he took work and his responsibilities seriously and was always keen to help even when tasks where hard . highly recommended

From the first message she sent me, I knew Lucía was the perfect candidate to spend a couple of weeks at my house, and she didn't disappoint. A girl with a great personality, a great sense of humor, a big heart, and intelligence. She did every task I asked her to do perfectly, and if she took a day off for a hike or shopping, she made up for it the next day with a job that was always done well. I'll always be grateful that she spent the whole day cooking for my birthday party, something she decided to do without me even asking. She also won over my friends with her special personality. In short, a force of nature, someone worth getting to know. Desde el primer mensaje que me envió, supe que Lucía era una candidata perfecta para pasar un par de semanas en mi casa, y no decepcionó. Una chica con gran personalidad, sentido del humor, gran corazón e inteligencia. Hizo perfectamente cada trabajo que le propuse hacer y si tomaba algún día para hacer una excursión o ir de compras lo compensaba el día siguiente con un trabajo siempre bien hecho. Siempre le agradeceré que pasase el día entero cocinando para mi fiesta de cumpleaños, algo que fue su propia decisión sin yo habérselo pedido. También conquistó a mis amigos y amigas con su forma de ser tan especial. En definitiva, una fuerza de la naturaleza, una persona que vale la pena conocer.

What can I say? My three-week trip to Tanzania was absolutely amazing. If you are hesitating, I can only tell you to go for it 100%. I learned so much about local life during my stay. A special thanks goes to Martha, who showed me around Arusha and took me to places like Materuni Waterfalls. Martha is very open-minded and made me feel at home from the day I arrived. The food was always very tasty! I was also very lucky to book a 7-day Kilimanjaro tour and a 4-day safari through her organization. For me, the combination of experiencing local life and joining these more touristic activities was simply perfect. By the end of the trip, I almost started to feel like a local myself, especially after going into the city alone, buying groceries at the local market, and even bargaining prices. 😅🙈 This was my first workaway experience, so I was unsure what to expect. However Martha is very responsive and answers all your questions in advance very quick. The communication was just perfect and everything went smoothly. Regarding the work: Martha allows you to work very flexible and you can arrange work as you like. For me it consisted mostly of taking, evaluating and editing the pictures during Kilimanjaro and Safari. I can only express my deepest gratitude to Martha and her family for this beautiful experience. I will always carry these memories in my mind and in my heart. Thank you so much, Martha!

Tuve una experiencia increíble en Hostal, donde me quedé durante seis meses y 20 días como voluntaria, y que terminó sintiéndose como un segundo hogar. Mis tareas principales eran de aseo, sencillas y bien organizadas, lo que hacía que el trabajo fuera llevadero y justo. Pero más allá de eso, lo que realmente hizo especial esta experiencia fue el ambiente del hostal: desde el primer momento me sentí muy cómoda, rodeada de personas maravillosas. El equipo de voluntarios es increíble y se crea una atmósfera muy internacional, cercana y llena de buenos momentos que se quedan contigo. Quiero destacar especialmente a Jona, el administrador, y a José Luis, el dueño, quienes hicieron que todo fuera aún más fácil. Ambos son personas muy cercanas, respetuosas y siempre dispuestas a ayudar. La comunicación con José Luis fue siempre clara y fluida, algo que se agradece muchísimo y que genera mucha confianza. Sinceramente, no tengo nada negativo que reseñar. Ha sido una experiencia muy enriquecedora a nivel personal, de esas que te hacen crecer y que recuerdas con mucho cariño. Recomiendo este lugar sin ninguna duda, tanto para hacer voluntariado como para alojarse. El entorno es ideal, el ambiente es inmejorable y el personal es increíblemente acogedor. Sin duda, un lugar al que siempre me gustaría volver. —— ——————————————————————————————————————————— I had an amazing experience at the Hostal , where I stayed for six months and 20 days as a volunteer, and which truly ended up feeling like a second home. My main tasks were cleaning, which were simple and well organized, making the work fair and easy to manage. But beyond that, what really made this experience special was the atmosphere at the hostel. From the very beginning, I felt comfortable and surrounded by wonderful people. The team of volunteers is incredible, and there’s a very international, warm, and friendly vibe full of moments you carry with you long after you leave. I would especially like to highlight Jona, the manager, and José Luis, the owner, who made everything even easier. They are both very kind, respectful, and always willing to help. Communication with José Luis was always clear and smooth, which I truly appreciated and which created a great sense of trust. Honestly, I have nothing negative to say. It has been a very enriching personal experience—one of those that help you grow and that you remember with great affection. I would definitely recommend this place, both for volunteering and for staying as a guest. The surroundings are beautiful, the atmosphere is amazing, and the staff is incredibly welcoming. Without a doubt, it’s a place I would love to return to.

Oh, how I miss this place and the wonderful human beings and the sound of the sea with the scent of fresh Rosmary. Jenn, Vico and Amaru are truly some very special beings that have the gift to make you feel like a family member from day one. This experience will hold a very special place in my heart and I would love to go back one Day, for sure.

I stayed here for two months at the beginning of the year and it was the best volunteering experience I've had so far. This is truly a paradise where you can recharge, grow, learn to trust humanity again and it's a safe space to embrace your femininity. I volunteered here and I had the opportunity to learn a lot about syntropic forestry, sustainable living and community life. The work started at 8 or 10:00 (when joining yoga class) and continued until the afternoon. We collected branches, mulched the syntropic lines, pruned aromatic herbs, made compost, digged in the water irrigation systems and planted seeds, trees and some plants like the aeonium ( a favorite of mine!). The donkeys and alpacas were to be fed by us every day and towards the end about 40 sheep got a new home as wellll! Each week we harvested some fresh fruit and veggie produce for the kitchen, how wonderful to be able to do that. There are loads of edible herbs and flowers to pick on the domain if you're into phytotherapy or edible plants. The food was delicious, colourful and nurturing and the daily yoga classes were a perfect way to devote myself to more self love and develop a healthier, deeper mind-body connection. I think the biggest things I've learned during these two months are how there are still places in the world where people more genuinely care for each other, where true kindness and happiness are dominant and where people express and create without it being a competition but for the sake of enjoyment, connection and to be in a flowing state and that friendships and interpersonal relationships can make life so much more beautiful and worth living<3 My confidence in others and myself has come back :) Thanks again to Vidya and all the other members. Namasté!!!!

Roos is a great companion. Unfortunately she came here when a dishwasher was broken but she faced it like a heroine. She is very good with animals, beloved by kids, useful helper with construction projects and always ready to help. We really enjoyed chattting with Ross about everything, specially her adventures in South America. Thank you for everything Roos and see you next time. :))

It was an absolute pleasure having Francis come to stay. She was hardworking, kind, interesting, very open and just a pleasure to be around. Please come back again one day….

Misaki or also named Kiki was here as a Workaway guest in February, and we had a wonderful time together. Kiki has a very gentle, friendly, and polite nature, and our conversations about her country and culture were very interesting and touching. Kiki's work style was calm and focused, and she didn't stop until she had completed the task perfectly. I was constantly amazed by how much she accomplished. Dear Kiki, I wish you all the best for your future in every way and sincerely hope you'll visit again sometime. Thank you so much for the wonderful time and your excellent work, Martina

I had a wonderful stay with Enes, Sinem, Alp and Bala. They are a welcoming family who immediately put you at ease, you have a lovely room, cozy house and wonderful meals cooked by Sinem. I enjoyed helping her in the kitchen and trying her beautiful soups ! The work was chill, mostly basic easy cleaning, I would wake early and help clear the kitchen before school. Most of the day was free to relax or explore, take the dog for a walk, and when Alp was home we would play or watch English songs. Bala sometimes too, though she often had homework or other things to do. Alp remembers EVERYTHING, he is bright and wants to learn. I was impressed at how quickly he retained vocabulary and phrases from songs. I would recommend English songs which he loved to watch and games with movement. A very sweet boy who is easy to teach or just play games with. Enes and Sinem also want you to enjoy Turkish culture, so they explain things about the foods, and it was Ramadan a week after I arrived, so I tried foods unique to winter and this period. I met some of their extended family who are also very generous and kind. The family are still learning English, so you cannot speak fast, but between google translate and taking the time over dinner to exchange, you can learn a lot. They are always willing to help and I enjoyed my stay, both at home and visiting Yalova, Bursa, Iznik over the weekends. Thank you very much for the lovely welcome I learnt a lot and will surely return to Turkey in the future :) Emma 🤗
