This was by far one of the best experiences I have had abroad. The communication from the host Hani, and the school staff was out of this world. The atmosphere and environment where I was based had a culture I have never quite experienced before. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and always had smiles on their faces. If you are looking for your first workaway experience I would highly recommend this one. Thank you Hani and to the school for this wonderful opportunity. I will definitely be back very soon!

LUCA is a delightful young man who came to stay with us for a month. He has a huge smile and is not afraid to get out amongst things and search for the best experiences. Luca was happy to try new things and took his time to work out how to do it properly. He was really pleased with his achievements and we were too. LUCA helped us to rebuild an old path and to create new paths as well in our garden. This included digging out the area and laying granulated sand. He created wooden borders around our gardens for us. He helped us with cleaning out shelves in our shed and sorting things beautifully so that we could find things more successfully. He is so easy to get on with and a delight to have around. I thoroughly recommend him to any other Workaway hosts.

Gina is one of those people who feels lika long lost relative who has come home. We like Gina. We really want to see her again. To see her jump into the fjord wintertime was fantastic. All the best from us all! Gutes leben and all that

What an excellent time we had with Sayaka! Sayaka stayed with us a little over 2 weeks and she was a lovely person to host! She was so cheerful and super keen to get into everything! Her enthusiasm for everything made us really happy to know she was enjoying her stay and all the work, food and local outings! Sayaka was really great about doing a variety of work. Since Tasmania is heading into the darker, cold and soggy season, we had to abandon the garden at times for some indoor stuff. She was equally enthusiastic about craft projects and house cleaning. We enjoyed taking her on our local hiking and beach adventures and to the local community group in town to meet others. We will miss Sayaka, and hope we meet again!

We really enjoyed having Federica on the farm. Nice, sweet, hard working and the best the Roman empire can offer. Its a dream to have an italian chef under the roof! We would very much like for her to return. Mi casa su casa!

We’ve had the pleasure of hosting Mike with us for several months! He’s an honest, hard worker with a positive attitude that made us really happy to have him on the team. His integrity and willingness to help out really stood out - even when unexpected things came up (as they sometimes do in the outback!) Mike was happy to lend a hand, jumping in to help his teammates. Awesome communication as well, he was never afraid to ask questions when he wanted to make sure something was done right. Thanks for everything, Mike! Wishing you all the best :)

Laurie stayed with us for 2 weeks in May and with her warm smile and easy going way fitted in perfectly at once. She always handled all given tasks very reliably and with great care, doing gardening work as well as cleaning and feeding our horses and wild boar, taking care of chickens, ducks and the two cats, too. Very interested in everything she engaged with guests and team and in her free time she explored the surroundings. Everytime calm and friendly it was a pleasure to work with you, play at cards and board games with you, dance or chat with you. Thank you for your support! We wish you all the best and would like to have you here again.

Mako was courteous, respectful and instantly felt a part of our family. Mako helped us predominantly with our two children - playing games, painting, going for walks, exploring the garden. She was very attentive to their needs. We were all sad to say goodbye, and hope our paths will cross again.

Adèle arrived with her bf Nassim at our farm for 5 days. Dynamic and friendly young couple. We were happy to show them the sheep shearing and onions weeding and they helped out with other tasks. We wish Adele all the best as she continues solo on her Workaway adventures for the next few weeks.

Sometimes you do not need many words to make an accurate review So here it goes. Tilly is the jewel of Thuringen and the future of Altenburg. We are gratefull that we got to know her and she is now a familymember.

We had a wonderful time working with Cecile. Cecile is funny, eager to learn new things and always there to help! We will miss you dear! Till soon!

We had the pleasure of hosting Vanessa with us for four months! From the very start, she stood out as being extremely capable, with a strong work ethic and common sense that made training and working with her a real pleasure - she was very quickly able to work independently and did awesome work, no matter where she was helping out. She was super reliable throughout her stay too, always happy to lend a hand and also very often being the one to catch the “little details” that mattered. I can say with certainty that many of our guests have had a better time here because of Vanessa’s contributions to our team. For much of her time with us, she was helping train our new team members, and we knew 100% they were in good hands! Thank you for everything, Vanessa. You’re always welcome back here, anyone who you join in the future will be so lucky to have you! :)

Filip was a great addition to the project. He is very helpful,reliable, always in the mood and he loved being in the garden. He could tell us clearly what he needed so it was easy to adapt and to ensure he had the best possible experience during his stay. We’re happy he is coming back into the project! :)

Hey Chris, thanks for the great time! Chris was always helpful, and it was fun working and spending time with him. We wish you all the best for your time ahead in Germany. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that all your plans come true!

I would highly recommend volunteering at the monastery. Spyros the ever welcoming host/Innkeeper and longer stay volunteers are always in need of a helping hand. Always thoughtful and respectful of your own needs, working hours and time off. Whatever you bring to the monastery, skilled, unskilled, youthful energy or life experience, there is a place for everyone. The monastery profile, volunteer feedbacks and even the Google reviews (unusually) are refreshingly accurate. My initial visit of a few days extended to almost two months. I’m happy to say I’m now heading back for a similar stay. Spyros, Holly, Mac, lovely guests and especially Blanco, you have my heartfelt thanks.

We stayed with Paula and Is for 1.5 wonderful months and are deeply enriched by the experience! Paula and Is are kind, patient and knowledgeable, we learned an incredible amount from both of them — gardening, animal care, and building skills that we will continue to carry with us. Helping to repair the chicken coop (fingers crossed it stays strong!) and building the greenhouse together were especially memorable. Beyond the work, they went out of their way to show us the beauty of the Blue Mountains. They introduced us to fantastic local spots and beautiful landscapes and scenery. We also shared many memorable meals and deep conversations. We especially loved our evening drinks at the Hotel with Paula and the peaceful meditation sessions with Is in their beautiful meditation room. Spending time with their clever and energetic dog Mila was definitely one of the highlights. She is one of the most well-behaved and joyful dogs we’ve ever met! Looking after the hens every day was also a great joy for us. Our private room with en-suite bathroom was cozy, private, and comfortable the whole time. We also really enjoyed cooking in their large, well-equipped kitchen — we had so much fun sharing and exchanging different recipes and cooking tips! Paula and Is are warm, generous hosts who created a truly special homestay for us. We highly recommend their place to anyone considering a Workaway in the Blue Mountains. Whether you’re looking to learn practical skills or explore the region, you’ll be in excellent hands. Thank you Paula and Is — we’re so grateful for everything! ❤️

Aina has been so wonderfull to our hostel. As a social host she had an amazing skill to connect with all the guest. On top of that she was been able to do an incredible wall art. Overall bubbly, exciting and great person !!

We spent 10 days here and had a really positive experience overall. Before our arrival, communication was smooth and friendly, which made planning the trip easy. Finding the place itself was a bit of an adventure, but once we arrived everything worked out perfectly. The town is easy to reach from Sapa and has everything you might need, including shops, restaurants, and other basic services. When we arrived, we were welcomed by the other volunteers and later introduced to the local team managing the project while Nadine was abroad. They provided all the information we needed and quickly helped us settle into our accommodation. The highlight of our stay was definitely teaching English to the adult students. Four evenings each week, we spent two hours in conversation classes, and we genuinely enjoyed every session. Many of the students travel quite a long distance to attend the classes because they are eager to improve their English. Most of them balance work and family responsibilities, so finding time to practise outside the classroom can be difficult. Despite that, they always arrived motivated, smiling, and ready to learn. At weekends, the project also runs educational activities for children aged 6 to 14. Rather than focusing only on traditional teaching, the aim is to create a space where children can explore new ideas, make choices, and experience a more flexible style of learning than they might find in regular schools. This makes the volunteering experience varied and interesting. One thing we learned is that every volunteer brings a different personality and teaching style. There is no single “correct” way to lead activities or classes, and part of the experience is discovering what works best for you. It was a great opportunity to gain confidence and try new approaches. The house itself was beautiful and created a welcoming atmosphere for both volunteers and students. The surrounding area is stunning, with plenty of opportunities for walks and exploring nature during your free time. Looking back, one of the reasons we enjoyed our stay so much was the wonderful group of volunteers we shared the experience with. We were lucky to meet great people, and together we created many memorable moments. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be part of this project. We wish you all the best for the future and hope many more volunteers will enjoy the experience as much as we did. Vojtech + Katerina

From the moment I arrived, Jane and Andrew made me feel like part of the family. Jane is a fantastic cook and having home-cooked meals together set the tone for the whole stay — warm, generous, and genuinely welcoming. The property itself is beautiful, surrounded by nature and animals, and the work was anything but repetitive. Stable cleaning, feeding horses, gardening, renovations, mandarin picking — every day brought something different. Working alongside their son Austin made it even more enjoyable; great energy and always a good laugh. Andrew's racing simulator is an experience in itself seriously impressive, Evenings winding down in the jacuzzi after a full day's work? Hard to beat. I left feeling rested, grateful, and already looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend this one.

Ik ben hier 5 dagen geweest en heb een geweldige tijd gehad. De sfeer was erg fijn en ontspannen. De dieren zijn ontzettend lief, vriendelijk en heel knuffelbaar. Er is veel ruimte om zelfstandig te werken en je eigen interesses en voorkeuren te volgen, wat ik erg prettig vond. Ik voelde me welkom en heb veel plezier gehad tijdens mijn verblijf. Zeker een aanrader voor toekomstige Workawayers!
