Steven's family was absolutely lovely! We stayed in our own room with own bathroom in their beautiful home and really got to know the whole family. Unfortunately Steven does not live at home so we wish we got to spend more time with him. There were always lots of chores and tasks to be done around the home that keep you busy. July was a ball of energy and excited to learn any English we could teach her! The family invited us out on every occasion they left the house and we were welcomed for every traditional Ecuadorian meal they had. The kitchen was always open to us to use as well. One of us was pretty sick with altitude sickness the whole time and Steven's sister who is a doctor was very accommodating and caring during this rough patch. Overall you will feel like a part of the family as they were all so welcoming to us!!

I spent nearly 3 weeks there and it was great :) Living with the other volunteers and living in the countryside was the best part of it. I recommend this workaway !

Phoebe stayed with us for a week in deep winter. With her open, friendly and positive attitude she fit right into our household. There was an instant connection. For the short time we made the most of our time. Phoebe is a fantastic cook, her garlic soup will be a staple in our house from now on. She organized, cleaned and knew what to do. It really was a joy having her with us. We will miss the game nights with her and her bubbly personality.

We enjoyed meeting and being with Rosie. She's very personable, eager to help in the house and on the land, flexible, maintains a "REAL" mood of cheer and friendliness, and a lovely being. Gift yourself with her presence if you feel the fit.

I stayed 8 days with Sumer and his wonderful fanily. A great time, learning the ways of life in the desert and enjoying rhe beautiful landscape. I helped with farming, the care of the camels, and some advice with online matters. it was also lovely to speak to the kids who come here to learn English and computing skills. Sumer and his family were so accommodating, welcoming me as one of their own, and even when I was unwell they looked after me. could not have asked for more.

Anouk and Quentin stayed with us for two weeks and it was a great experience! They were so sweet, motivated and very passionate about learning about farming and off grid living. They're also good with kids and played a lot with our daughter. They were very motivated and did lots of work on the farm - clearing land, planting veggies, and they made us wonderful food which we really appreciated! Anouk also painted us a beautiful mural :D They're a lovely couple, very sweet, peaceful people and we were very grateful for all their help :)

Nana and Jelena stayed with us for a week and we had an amazing time with them! They brought so much laughter and good vibes and were very playful with our daughter. They were hard workers and did lots of gardening, clearing and even painted us a beautiful mural! They both are very lovely, bright young women with hearts of gold :)

Daniel was an amazing volunteer, flexible, communicative, helpful and always with the best possible attitude. We shared weeks together and got to know him personally and professionally, he is great with animals and our dog fell in love with him and his energy!

Ute ist eine wundervolle Gastgeberin und ein sehr herzlicher Mensch. Man merkt sofort, wie viel Liebe sie in ihr Zuhause steckt. Ihr Garten ist wunderschön gepflegt und lädt zum Entspannen ein. Besonders beeindruckend ist ihre Leidenschaft fürs Malen, die dem Aufenthalt eine ganz besondere, kreative Atmosphäre verleiht. Außerdem hat Ute mir sehr geholfen, mein Deutsch zu verbessern, wofür ich ihr besonders dankbar bin. Ich habe mich bei ihr vom ersten Moment an sehr willkommen gefühlt und kann sie als Gastgeberin nur wärmstens empfehlen!

Claire stayed with us for two weeks and we had a wonderful time with her! She is very sweet, responsible, intelligent, mature for her age and motivated. We really have only good things to say about her! She was so helpful and flexible and very nice to our little daughter as well. She helped us with lots of different tasks in the garden, clearing land, making compost, planting seeds and even painting the house. Thank you so much for your help! :)

We had a great experience with Tommaso as a volunteer. From the day that he joined us, he did a great job integrating himself with the team. He was a team player who was willing to step in where need be, and even made some delicious Italian food for us a few times. We would welcome Tommaso back as a volunteer anytime.

Our time here couldn't have went any better. From the minute we arrived we were welcomed with open arms. The entire team made us feel at home immediately. Our tasks were clearly explained to us and our daily schedules were respected. 5 hours per day, 5 days a week. There is a morning, afternoon and evening shift. Tasks included checking guests in and giving them a tour of the hostel, serving breakfast, dinner and drinks, keeping the area tidy, helping reception with any tasks they may need and helping guests with any issues or questions they may have. We received free breakfast every day with coffee and tea, and free family dinners twice per week. We received discounts on food, drinks and tours also. It's a great place to practise Spanish. This was the most stress free volunteer work you could possibly imagine. It is run so incredibly well that we were able to slot in effortlessly. The hostel feels like it's own sanctuary and we absolutely loved spending time there, chilling in the hammocks and cooling down in the pool. The communal kitchen assigned to us is AMAZING. Salt, pepper, oils and multiple spices are available for free. By far the best kitchen we have ever seen in any hostel, ever. The entire premises is kept spotlessly clean by the amazing cleaning team. Guests constantly comment on how clean it is. We could honestly keep going on how good this place is to volunteer at but we hope this is enough to convince other Workawayers. To the amazing team .. thank you for giving us the opportunity to work with you all. We truly loved our time there and the only downside was saying goodbye to you all. Keep doing what you're doing and you will continue to go from strength to strength! Muchas gracias y hasta luego! Kora y Tom 🇳🇮🤝🇮🇪

This is my first Workaway, so I was a bit worried that I might not be able to help much. But I’m really happy because Shota and Yuho welcomed me so warmly. The other volunteers were also very kind, always helping me and teaching me patiently. The work is really enjoyable, so time passes very quickly. During our free time, we usually cook together, play games, go out for walks, enjoy the sauna and onsen, and do many other things. I’ve learned a lot of new things here, and I would love to come back again someday.

We spent around 3 weeks at Joanna's place in beautiful Deià, and it's been a great time. The house is located in a beautiful spot, view on the valley, and a short walk to everything in the village. We were lucky to meet many locals thanks to Joanna, who knows virtually everyone around. The help we provided was more centered around the ceramic shop, and small house tasks, adapted to our individual skills and what we felt like doing too. We still had loads of time and privacy - Joanna is very generous and accomodating, she's a busy bee with a strong personality and lots of stories. Her drive and energy is contagious! 💫

Cher Victor, Quel bonheur de lire ton message ! Daniel et moi tenons à te remercier pour tes mots, mais plus encore pour ta présence à nos côtés à l'écolodge, ces dernières semaines de 2025 et ce passage à 2026. De ton arrivée en Workawayer (dans cette approche humaine) à ton adaptation face aux tâches du quotidien, lors de nos échanges à l'heure des repas... ces 4 semaines ont été une belle aventure. Ta générosité et ton enthousiasme communicatif ont été d'un soutien précieux pour nous deux et travailler à tes côtés a été un véritable plaisir. Sache que tu as laissé une trace ici, au milieu des volcans. On garde précieusement l'idée d'aller te voir un jour au Brésil pour découvrir tes terres à notre tour. On te souhaite le meilleur pour tes projets futurs et sache que tu seras toujours le bienvenu ici. Avec toute notre affection, hugs, Laurence & Daniel

We wanted to touch base on the review provide by Emma and Eline, and take the time to explain our side of the experience. The feedback was far from many other volunteers that we have happily hosted here on the property over the years. We ask our volunteers to commit one month to the project, and many have stayed longer stating how much they enjoyed the work, living arrangements, and location. Our Workaway posting clearly states we provide separate living space for our volunteers on the property, complete with up-to-date kitchen, bathroom, living room, bedroom, and many other amenities. Volunteers do not live directly with us in our house. The girls arrived on Dec 19th with an agreed upon commitment of one month. We were also in transition over the Christmas holidays with staff members. The children's main teacher retired after two years of employment. We now have a new main teacher starting for the new semester. The girls had asked for additional days off to leave over the holidays and New Years Eve. We happily granted their request. Then they informed us they would only be able to fulfill two weeks. We plan accordingly to our children's education and depend on reliable, committed volunteers. At this point, we made the decision to accept a last minute volunteer in their place to help with the project. The girls were here 12 days total and worked only 4 days. We wanted to start the new year off with other volunteers committed to the project, children and timelines required. Since the girls were leaving for their New Years vacation, which was 2 hours from the property, we gave them 48 hours notice and advised them to continue onward with their journey. As an experienced host with many happy volunteers, we do our best to accommodate our volunteers. We took the girls into town for groceries as soon as they arrived and provide all volunteers a trip once a week for supplies. We always accommodate the living arrangements to help ensure peace and comfort. We also provide bicycles they can use for a 15-minute ride into town. We provide contact information of local taxis as well as bus schedules. All in all, we try our best to create a comfortable and great experience for all volunteers. It is unfortunate this did not work out as planned.

I don't even know where to begin to describe this volunteer experience; it was so impactful for me. Aigul and her family made me feel right at home. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was staying with a member of my own family. Aigul is simply incredible—a dynamic and incredibly kind woman. She's an excellent cook and always happy to share culinary moments. She is also a great russian Teacher and will be pleased to teach Russian basics if you want so. Her apartment and the room I stayed in were perfect. Living together went very well; sometimes we spent time together, and sometimes we enjoyed our own space. Her daughter lives in Bishkek, and I was very happy to be welcomed into her home with her family each time, as if I were staying with my own relatives. About work at school, it was my first teaching experience. I was quickly given full autonomy with my students, and at first, it was a little difficult to find a program suited to each class's level. But the students were always very willing and excited to come to class with me. The class can be maximum 6 students, but most of the time 2/3 students or private class. Eventually, I was able to adapt to each student's level, and I have wonderful memories of my time at the school. The other teachers are lovely, always ready to help, and I had a great time in their company. I worked four days a week, so the rythm was easy to manage, and I was able to explore and enjoy Kirghizistan. The school is a 10-minute walk from the apartment, and the town of Kara Balta is very pleasant. I will never forget these weeks spent with Aigul, and I hope to return someday. Большое спасибо Айгуль ❤️

Poussez les porte de la Maison et vous entrez au paradis ! J’ai rejoins cette famille qui a été la mienne pendant 1 mois. J’ai eu du mal à quitter cet endroit si apaisant, accueillant, ressourçant… Béa, Hervé et Laeti sont d’une douceur, d’une joie et d’une générosité débordantes ! Merci pour ces précieux instants à vos côtés 💖

È stato un vero piacere ospitare Matteo per i dieci giorni di workaway nella nostra casetta nel bosco. Si è dimostrato fin da subito molto volenteroso e un grande lavoratore: sempre disponibile, affidabile e pronto a dare una mano in ogni attività. Ha un carattere gioviale ed educato, qualità che hanno reso la convivenza semplice e piacevole. Ama la tranquillità e la semplicità della vita all’aria aperta, e si è integrato perfettamente nel nostro ritmo quotidiano. Lo ringraziamo particolarmente per la sua disponibilità e il suo impegno anche in un periodo invernale, quando lavorare in campagna e nel bosco non è affatto facile. 4 ore al giorno di spostamento legna, carriole di ghiaia e cesoie non è una passeggiata! Ti auguriamo il meglio per i tuoi prossimi progetti. It was a real pleasure to host Matteo for ten days of workaway at our little house in the woods. From the very beginning he proved to be very willing and a great worker: always helpful, reliable, and ready to lend a hand with any task. He has a cheerful and polite character, qualities that made living together easy and enjoyable. He loves the peace and simplicity of outdoor life and fit perfectly into our daily rhythm. We especially thank him for his willingness and commitment during the winter period, when working in the countryside and in the forest is not easy at all. We wish you all the best in your future projects
