Thank you Genevieve! You were amazing! Genevieve was helping me out in a chaotic periode, allways willing to do every task asked and doing it well. Friendly and respectfull to guests and our workers! Defenitly recommended!

I had the privilege of spending five incredible months with Venetia, Ollie and their three gorgeous kids. I was welcomed into their lovely home in the gorgeous Welsh countryside warmly. Venetia and Ollie are kind and accommodating hosts with hearts of gold. They have three of the funniest, clever, creative and kind kids I've ever met! The house is a 15 min walk to the gorgeous town Hay on Wye. An amazing place to wander around. There are several incredible hikes and walks surrounding. From epic snow adventures to gorgeous Christmas trips away, I've had the best time with this family and will be forever grateful for my experience!

Dominica estuvo un mes en casa, y nos ayudó mucho con el huerto, la casa y el jardín. Una chica trabajadora, respetuosa y con muchas aptitudes. Un placer acogerte en la yurta. Gracias! Buen camino!

Un placer tener a Ehouarn y a su hermano en la yurtaa! muy amables, cuidadosos y respetuosos! Gracias chicos! hasta la próxima!

Este Workaway fue maravilloso. Dionny es una persona única y fue muy divertido pasar tiempo con ella. Nos sentimos como en casa. Fue muy amable con nosotros y nos incluyó en todo. Cocinamos mucho juntos, reímos y ayudamos con la cosecha. En nuestro tiempo libre, siempre podíamos hacer senderismo, y Alan nos ayudó a organizarlo. ¡Recomiendo muchísimo este lugar! <3 Muchas gracias

My first experience doing a volunteer program was at this place, and it was the best decision. I arrived in mid-December planning to stay for one month, but time kept passing and I kept extending… until I ended up staying two months, that’s the kind of magic this beautiful hostel creates. From the very first week, I already felt at home — and I don’t think that’s something that happens everywhere. Thanks to the whole staff that feeling was possible. We spent Christmas, New Year’s, birthdays, dinners, nights out, and so many afternoons together that made us feel more like a family than just a work team. It was the first time I spent the holidays and my birthday away from home, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place. I felt supported and truly happy the entire time. The hostel is big, comfortable, cozy, and clean — it makes you want to stay there (to give you an idea, one of our favorite activities was reception rotting). The views are incredible and they’re with you all the time. I had reception, cleaning, and bar shifts. The tasks are simple and enjoyable, and the team is always around to help and answer questions. At the same time, they gave me autonomy and trusted the way I worked. I made friends that I know I will keep for life. Together we went to the beach, climbed Villarrica Volcano, did trekkings, helped each other with shifts, went out dancing, had dinners together, and shared thousands of stories and memories. I believe it is a great place to meet people, whether they are volunteers or guests. Thank you, family, for trusting me from the very beginning. thanks Marilyn for being the best reception trainer, thanks Nene for inviting me to the bar and teaching me how to make the drinks, thanks Titi for being the top shift partner, thanks Pilar for being our hostel mom and thanks Tomi for giving me the opportunity to be there and spend this season with all of you .This was an amaaaazing experience that will definitely happen again. See you on New Year’s!!

Just amazing ! I was at Rashed’s place for almost 3 months, it was a fantastic experience ! Your main tasks are to make breakfast for the guests and to clean it, you’ll also have some checkin/checkout shift You don’t feel working as the vibe is friendly and super chill, you have plenty of free time to explore surroundings or to go surf !! Super cool breaks around 👀 There is a good energy and you’ll be part of the local surf community with the surfshop staff If you want to experience living in a small Moroccan town by the sea and discovering the local culture while meeting super friendly people, it’s the perfect place ! Thanks again Rashed and Nadia for everything 😉 See you soon bro ❤️

Esta es Berna escribiendo! La experiencia en es simplemente transformadora. Con Lau, Agus, Mate y todo el equipo formamos una familia muy especial desde el primer día. Se creó una comunidad hermosa donde tanto voluntarios como huéspedes encontrábamos algo más que un lugar donde dormir, encontrábamos un hogar, y eso describe perfectamente la energía del lugar. Conocí personas increíbles, compartí experiencias y momentos que me hicieron crecer muchísimo y lograr desenvolverme socialmente como nunca antes. Aprendí muchísimo sobre el mundo de los hostels y el voluntariado, pero más allá de las tareas y responsabilidades, lo que más me llevo es algo que Lau me dijo antes de irme: que habían plantado en mí una semilla. Y realmente lo siento así. Una semilla de ganas de seguir viajando, de ayudar, de formar parte de este mundo tan humano y tan lleno de intercambio cultural. Me voy profundamente agradecida por todo lo aprendido, por la confianza y por el espacio para crecer. Sin dudas recomendaría esta experiencia a cualquier voluntario que quiera aprender, conectar y dejarse transformar un poquito.

Estuvimos un mes en la finca de Ronny y Eva y fue una experiencia maravillosa. Cada mañana les dábamos comida a los animales y, en general, los cuidábamos, y luego las tareas cambiaban según el proyecto que los chicos estuvieran desarrollando en ese momento. Tienen muchas ideas y proyectos, y en no faltan actividades. Ronny es un experto en permacultura, compostaje y mucho más, y siempre está dispuesto a explicar todo con gran detalle y claridad. Eva es instructora de yoga y masajista, y ha compartido con nosotros su experiencia y conocimientos, lo que nos ha aportado muchísimo. Los hijos de Ronny son unos niños fantásticos y es muy agradable pasar tiempo con ellos. Además, la finca tiene unas vistas maravillosas al mar, es un lugar tranquilo y silencioso. La Palma es preciosa y, en los días libres, hay muchas rutas de senderismo que hacer y lugares que explorar. Muchas gracias, chicos, esperamos volver a veros.

J’ai passé un très bon séjour chez Véronica et Guillermo. Mon travail s’est fait de manière autonome, ce qui m’a permis de m’impliquer pleinement et d’organiser mes journées avec responsabilité. Les attentes étaient claires et les échanges simples et respectueux. J’ai particulièrement apprécié de disposer d’une chambre et d’une salle de bain individuelles. Cela permet de garder son espace personnel, et ma tranquillité a toujours été respectée, y compris durant mes jours libres. Le cadre est agréable et offre aussi de belles possibilités pour profiter de l’environnement : kayak, vélo, et la compagnie de quatre adorables chiens qui rendent le quotidien encore plus sympathique. Merci pour l’accueil et pour cette expérience enrichissante. Je souhaite une belle continuation à Rio Vivo.

I stayed two weeks in Tad Lo and it was a very nice experience! I helped to give more visibility to a small restaurant and traditional handicrafts by painting the place and taking pictures of the handmade products. Mathilde and Kelly have been available when I needed but they also gave me a lot of autonomy during my stay. I organized my tasks and time as I wanted. There are a lot of very nice projects happening or to come, always in collaboration with people from the village. A great way to be involved in local life at this beautiful Tad Lo !! Thanks for welcoming me it was a pleasure to meet you all and help !

my partner and i stayed with Siri for one week helping her to teach her students and wish we could have stayed longer 😊 Siri is a wonderful host and made sure we were comfortable and never hungry :)) she also took us around her town in our free time and to nearby waterfalls which was amazing! Siri is an amazing teacher and all of her students clearly love and respect her. We had a great time teaching all of the kids who were all happy and keen to learn and we learnt so much from Siri also. she was always there to help if needed 😊

Rae stayed with us for almost two months last spring. She is such a lovely person, full of energy and funny! She mostly helped with the kids, cooking and cleaning and we were very happy with her. We did some nice nature walks and we enjoyed her delicious food and her company. Long evening talks about everything while cleaning the kitchen or having tea. I recommend her amazing Risotto!

Java was such a pleasure to host. She is brilliant, resourceful, and excellent company. She is responsible, sweet, and fun to talk to. Any person is lucky to have Java in their life.

We stayed at Lili and Wolfgang’s finca for three weeks, living in their van. We had a lot of fun, although the work was quite hard: planting trees, building walls, laying concrete, and helping with their two children. Lili provided us with breakfast and sometimes also something for lunch or dinner. Overall, it was a very nice experience, and we thank Lili and Wolfgang for their hospitality :)

Misky es una chica taiwanesa muy trabajadora y tranquila, muy flexible en todo, nos acompaño 10 días y nos ayudó mucho en la cosecha y limpieza de choclo. Además en la cocina es muy colaborativa y también ayudo en la clases de ingles a los niños de la comunidad. Me deseamos lo mejor!

Staying in Emily's farm was a truly grounding experience. Emily and Riley were incredibly warm and welcoming and we shared lovely and funny experiences that made my stay feel meaningful and genuine! I learned a lot about shallots and garlic and mulching during my stay , I enjoyed the work and had a great time! Being surrounded by nature, community, animals and open space brought a sense of calm and grounding that I'll never forget! Thank you for hosting me Emily, all the best!

Emilie y Frederik son una pareja muy feliz, amable y siempre muy colaboradora. Ella se quedó 10 días y Fredy algunos días más. Nos ayudaron en la cosecha del choclo y el riego. Fredy nos ayudó a hacer las cuentas del choclo. Son una pareja muy especial, tranquila y siempre respetando las reglas en la casa. La pasamos muy bien con todo el grupo de workawayers. Además ellos son artistas y hacen artesanías de piedras preciosas muy bonitas. También nos ayudaron con las clases de ingles a los niños de la comunidad. En resumen está pareja son lo mejor de lo mejor!

Alexa and Holger welcomed us like family from the very start. This was our first workaway but we were blown away by the friendliness and generosity offered. What an amazing way to exchange cultures and make new friends, we feel so so lucky! We stayed for about six weeks and helped with some renovation work for their awesome farmhouse. We were extremely well fed and comfortable, and they always made sure we were warm enough in the cold 2026 winter. We were treated to delicious traditional dishes and traded our own stories and recipes from home too. We also loved meeting their friends and family in the village, playing with Willem, practing German, and taking some side trips to see more of Northern Germany. Alexa and Holger are both such kind, interesting, and fun people to be around! The way they welcome people into their lives is inspiring. We'll miss them! Willem and Lotta too of course! We could not recommend this workaway more.

Antonia un grand merci pour ta présence ici au loft avec nous. Quel gentillesse, discrétion et douceur tu incarnes… c’était très agréable de t’avoir avec nous et notre porte te sera toujours ouverte. Merci d’avoir su si intuitivement voir le travail qu’il y a à faire dans une maison et ta formidable connexion avec les enfants ou entre nous. Au plaisir de te revoir Antonia 💚
