We have enjoyed staying with Mohamed and family. We get to experience the Moroccan culture and food, learn to cook tajine and treat the guests at the hotel. During free time, we go for hiking on the mountains. It was really a nice experience and we love it. Thank you for having us and we will miss your nice hospitality.

Jackie is a great host - nice and a lovely lady (and incredibly strong !). We arrived at night and thought of coming on our own, not knowing we could not access to the internet with our sim-card. We had trouble finding her place and Jackie came to find us. We were very glad. The place is comfortable, and spacious. Thank you Jackie !

I needed help in my garden and I am happy that I found Shakira and Shamsul.
They helped me to prepare the garden for the winter, cut hedges and cared for my pets. They cooked very good Malaysian dishes and we had good times sit together, chat and play.
They are very pleasant, friendly and funny and it was nice for the whole family to have them… read more

We were contacted by Ina via the workawayer nearby and we were glad about it. It was unplanned and we suddenly got the chance to visit Schwabisch Gmund. It was a beautiful town. We were grateful to be there. Ina, Marc and Rio are a wonderful family with great hospitality. We felt lucky. The house and garden are beautiful. We were blessed with… read more

We stayed here for 3 weeks. It was pleasant to stay at Kirsten’s. Everything was nice and fresh. We were there at the onset of autumn, the forest was green and few days after that, it all turned yellow. Pretty sights. We learnt new techniques in certain thing and reasons why certain things were done. We enjoy spending time with Kirsten. The… read more

We want to say thank you for the easy and quick response we get from Jon to get a host in north Ireland. We also want to say thanks for giving us extra time space and time while we were there. We have enjoyed the area, it's near Castlewellan and Newcastle. Lots of place to visit and check out.

Syakira and Tengku are a lovely couple and willing to have a go at any task.
When they came here, they had no experience with horses but they filled hay boxes, picked up droppings, filled buckets, mixed feed and after a few days, groomed one of my ponies.
They also did some weeding on my riding arena, treated fence posts and a shed gate with… read more

Sami and Syakira were excellent workawayers. They stayed with us two weeks and even though we were not there all the time, they did all the work we asked and worked well together with our guardian of the property. My son adored them and they kindly watched him several times when we had to work. They did all the jobs we asked them to do very well.… read more

This is our second workawayer experience and we love it! The stay was super comfortable and we enjoyed it. We also liked the volunteering work on the land. We have learnt a lot with this stay and had the chance to see things we have not seen before, olive - oak - grape trees, and had an enriching visit to the nearby town. Everything is beautiful… read more

This is our first workawayer experience and we are glad that we registered with Workaway. We are happy to have a chance to meet Bram and family. We had the opportunity to expose ourselves to Belgian culture. The Mongolian yurt that we stayed has been amazing and new for us. The lovely memories that we had with Bram and family will always be with… read more
