We had a very nice time at Ninia’s home in Poti, she was so kind to let us go there without her being there, we didn’t meet but texted over WhatsApp, she was super sweet and gave us some simple tasks we could do around the house and garden, we have fun time doing it all (building the outdoor shower was nice haha) we made a fire, went out to the sea and overall beautiful place and town ! Thank you so much again Ninia and sorry about the key … 😘

Corinna was very enthusiastic, and happy to get stuck in! She was great with our animals as well, thank you Corinna!

Isabelle, Matthias and Vasili were great Workawayers during their one-week stay. They took on gardening tasks with care and consistency, and contributed positively to keeping the outdoor space in good shape. Even though we never actually met in person, the communication and workflow still went smoothly, and they managed to complete the tasks independently without any issues. They also supported and helped the other volunteers who were already on-site, which made a positive difference to the overall team dynamic. I really appreciated their reliability, calm attitude, and willingness to get involved wherever needed. Thank you for your help and contribution during your stay, it was genuinely valuable.

Emily was a great member of the team, and happy to complete all types of tasks. Thank you Emily!

Angela was a great person to have help here, very easy going and happy to complete any task assigned. Thank you for your help Angela!

Heloise was a great member of the Grounds team while here, and happy to complete any tasks that were assigned. Thank you Heloise!

This spring I spent 2months in this super cozy hostel and I would highly recommend it! Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, and I felt comfortable from the start. The work was fair and easy to understand, and there was still plenty of time to relax and explore. The hostel had a nice atmosphere, and I met lots of amazing people during my stay. Special thanks to Kostas for being super patient and very helpful! I hope to be back one day:)

We had a hard time pulling ourselves away from Karolina's; it is such an oasis! We had a great time on our short stay, mostly gardening and talking to the puppies, kittens and of course the family. Everyone was so welcoming and we instantly felt at home in the charming little wagon. Karolina has made a creative sanctuary here, the art and pottery scattered around the property is beautiful - we were very kindly invited to the pottery studio to make bowls (still looking for a fire pit to finish them off..!) so it is a great place to engage with both nature and creativity. Every chat with Oscar and Karolina had an interesting fact about the area, and Karolina took the time out of her week to share some very enlightening information about her homesteading experience, which you will want to copy if you come here - would recommend to anyone!

Rosita was nice and did a great job at painting gates, weeding flower beds and cleaning.

Marije was great - both to have around, and for her contribution - took on significant tasks with minimal supervision, enabling me to prepare for a big trip of my own. Was happy enough to leave Marije looking after the place for a few weeks after I left. Would be welcome back anytime.

It was my ver first expierience with workaway and I couldnt be happier. Reserva, Marc, Pablo and the little Río are the most loving and caring people and I felt for this small time like a part of the family. They by themselfs are former workawayers and it felt like they are giving what they themself we're once looking by traveling in this manner. They are good human beings and make this world with their sustainable and kind way of living to a better place. Thank you guys a lot! P.S. Rio is the most sweetest little boy. Every person that loves childreen will fall in love.

My three weeks at Frank’s project were truly unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and comfortable. For most of my stay, I was the only volunteer there, and Frank’s patient, caring, and respectful nature made it easy to feel at home. His passion for improving and nurturing this place is truly inspiring. Seeing what he has created over the years was incredible. Knowing that he built so much of it himself—from the bricks to the structures and furniture—gave me a completely different appreciation for the effort, creativity, and dedication behind every corner of the project. This is not a place for people looking for luxury or convenience. It is a place for those who want to slow down, reconnect with nature, learn new things, and experience a different way of living. Without the distractions of constant internet and modern comforts, I found time for myself, time to reflect, and time to reconnect with what really matters. Life here moves at a different pace. Cooking over a fire, spending time outdoors, and being surrounded by nature helped me become more patient and more present. I left with new skills, valuable lessons, and a renewed appreciation for simple living. The animals were another highlight of my stay. Lilli and Jade, the two kittens Frank rescued, brought so much joy, and the abundance of wildlife, especially the butterflies, made every day feel special. I am incredibly grateful for this experience, for everything I learned, and for the time we shared. If you are looking for an authentic experience close to nature, this is a place I wholeheartedly recommend. I would love to return someday ❤️

Viola was a wonderful guest and volunteer — I’d welcome her back without hesitation. She stayed with me for a month El Médano, Tenerife, and from the very first day she showed initiative and a genuinely helpful attitude. When I needed to clear out a garage quickly upon her arrival, she jumped in without being asked twice — that set the tone for everything that followed. Her main tasks were house and Airbnb cleaning and maintenance, and she handled these with care and consistency. She’s thorough, reliable, and takes pride in leaving spaces in good condition. I also put her digital skills to use: she helped me organize a garage sale, creating the Facebook event, photographing items, and listing everything on Facebook Marketplace and Wallapop. She approached this creatively and competently — the listings looked great. During my first week, an emergency came up and I had to fly out for about 5 days, leaving her in charge of the house and my animals (a cat and a dog). She took this responsibility completely in stride — the animals were happy and well cared for, and the house was in perfect order when I returned. I felt completely at ease leaving everything in her hands. She also drove both my automatic car and manual van — to drop me at the airport and to help move items. She handled both confidently and I had no hesitation leaving my vehicles with her. Beyond the work, Viola is simply a lovely person to have around. She was curious about the island, enthusiastic about authentic local life, happily took surfboards to the beach, and was always up for exploring. Her energy is warm, positive, and easy-going. She respects spaces, boundaries, and house rules naturally — it never felt like something I had to manage or remind her of. Communication with her is effortless. Most importantly, she’s genuinely independent. She doesn’t need hand-holding — she observes, figures things out, and gets on with it. That kind of self-sufficiency is rare and incredibly valuable in a volunteer. Highly recommended. 5 stars.

Bei Ulfhild und Gerhard habe ich zwei Tage/drei Nächte zugebracht und bin ganz wunderbar aufgenommen worden. Wir hatten ganz tolle Gespräche, haben gemeinsam gekocht und gegessen und uns sehr gut kulturell ausgetauscht. Die Arbeit war absolut OK und mit im Schnitt 4h am Tag längst nicht zu viel. Ich habe die zwei Tage als Erholung zu meiner Wanderung sehr genossen.

Sheridan is a wonderful and very generous person. We spent 10 days at her place, and the time flew by. She is full of positive energy, always smiling and very interesting, with a busy and inspiring life. She is also very caring and an excellent cook. Even though our English wasn’t perfect, she always took the time to speak slowly, repeat things, and make sure we understood everything properly. For the work, we mainly walked little Louis and did some gardening in the yard. She is very flexible with schedules, which made it easy to do activities on the side. We were really happy to work there, as she was very relaxed and easy-going with us. Everything felt simple and in a very good atmosphere. The place is truly beautiful, just a few minutes from the beach and right next to a bus stop that makes it easy to travel around the island. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with very open-minded people. We even had the chance to be introduced to some of Sheridan’s friends. Thank you again for this unforgettable week. We wish you all the best for the future. This beautiful experience almost marked the end of our adventure in New Zealand, and we were very happy to spend one of our last weeks here with you. Warm regards, Camille and Thaddé

We stayed with Marie in Bounou for just under 2 weeks and got to spend some time with her, Charlie and her lovely cats. It was an incredible experience and we loved walking around the dunes, relaxing in her garden and cycling to the village of M’Hamid (with the bikes she provided). Marie is an extremely kind, friendly and adventurous woman who introduced us to her friends here and made sure we had all we needed throughout our stay. We hope to see her again soon. Merci beaucoup pour tout, Marie! ❤️

Two weeks (as planned) spent here was an unbeliveble experience of living in the large buddhist community - with greatly generous, kind and hospitable people. I could say a lot of great, unique experience of being part of the really big community, about great comrades, tasty food, beautiful places like Main Shrine, Sutra Repository, Buddha Land, Buddha Museum, Sleeping Buddha. The whole place is like a small town, really, it impressed by its size, variety, hidden places worth to explore and see. I've experienced a great onboarding (thank you Hui Zan and Boey), living conditions, interesting activities and work, and a lot of compassionate and understanding when e.g. I needed have a break, drink water, cuz climate is way different there than in my country (it was very hot and humid during my stay). Thank for this great experience, for the opportunity to be part of your community.

It was very nice to have Tim here as a Workawayer here at Hitra. Tim works very well. He is a perfectionist. Everything he does is perfect. It was a pleasure to watch him work, he is very creative and I learned a lot from him. This is how it should be where we can give each other new knowledge. He is sociable and we had a lot of fun together. Tim is good at cooking, he is a perfectionist there too. A great pleasure to have met him. Good luck going forward

It was very nice to have Marinus visit as a Worawayer here at Hitra. He was here for 5 weeks. He worked well both independently and together with me. He learns quickly and can handle different tools. He is sociable and we had many nice times together. He is recommended to other hosts.

This experience is great for volunteers that have the ability to get around the island without relying on the host. It’s certainly an volunteering experience that requires a level of intelligence and maturity, because of the circumstances of the exchange. Pantelli offers a weekly stipend for food, but it is sometimes difficult to cook in certain areas, just because of how limited the kitchen space might be. There is clean filtered water for everybody to drink from, which was amazing to have. Overall the experience was pleasant, people just need to be ready for certain expectations and need to have the willingness to meet those expectations or risk being overwhelmed by the outcome.
