I stayed here for my first Workaway with my sister. We both had the most amazing and relaxing time. the work was fun and never to difficult. The food was amazing and by far some of the best my sister has had in her Workaway life. We stayed around 6 months ago and were so busy that we didn't get round to doing a review. Thanks again so much, we both loved our time and still talk about our stay with you loads. All the best, Benjamin and Erin from the UK

The monastery is a really wonderful and special place with serving believers. We were working mainly in the kitchen, the communication was straight forward, the accommodation really lovely and the team young and fun. We wish them our blessing and can reccomend!

I stayed with Brahim for a week in October and it was a wonderful experience. He and his family are fantastic, welcoming people, and I immediately felt at home. Brahim's words reveal his love for his culture and his country, and I learned so much about Morocco. I worked mainly on his website and I hope I was able to give back at least some of what I received from them. I would recommend an experience with Brahim to anyone, both to learn something and to make a real contribution.

Zac Zac Zac Zac!!! Amazing!! Zac came to help during the olive harvest and brought that Bohemien touch made the harvest really great! Zac is laid back with a nice attitude and he is a fantastic poet. We had nice conversations about several topics and time flew away quickly. Thanks Zac for your help and wish you all the best and hope to be part of your best seller novel! I recommend Zac and you will have a great great time with him! Grazie mille ancora Zac!

Jorges kindly took me in at short notice for two weeks, and we hit it off right from the start. He did everything he could to make me feel comfortable, treating me with kindness and simplicity. His house is just beautiful; you immediately feel at home there. His eight cats are absolutely adorable, with a slight preference for Timo, who stole my heart 🐾. On the work side, Jorges wanted to redo his entire nursery, and it was with great pleasure that I took care of it. He took the time to explain to me exactly what he wanted, while always being very willing to share his knowledge and teach me new things. The tasks are to be carried out freely, without pressure or schedules, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. Jorges is a very attentive, deeply friendly and passionate person. He also took the time to show me his beautiful region, which he shares with enthusiasm and love. A huge thank you to you, Jorges, for your welcome, your trust and your generosity. This experience will remain a wonderful memory, and I am already looking forward to coming back to visit you very soon. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

This review is overdue! I stayed with shirin for only ten days but it felt like much longer. Shirin and her mother felt like family right away. Jb is a cool town and her house is super cozy and centrally located around lots of restaurants and shops. Her garden is a little paradise in the middle of it all and I felt so grateful to get to experience it and help her maintain it. It used to be a place where people dumped their trash and she rescued it then turned ito a thriving ecosystem with fruit trees and medicinal plants! The food was always delicious and shirin went out of her way to make sure myself and the other voulenteers got to try the best dishes jb had to offer, whether she cooked it herself or stopped by the best local food spots. Shirin is just a wonderful person with the best energy and brightest smile that can light up the room and I am very thankful to call her my dear friend. If you like to work hard, learn about permaculture, have good conversations and eat delicous food, this is the place for you! Thank you shirin for all you did for me and Im really looking forward to visiting again some day.Much love!

We spent three absolutely wonderful weeks with Ute, an exceptional woman. This was our very first Workaway experience, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to begin. Staying in such a unique, historically rich setting made it even more special. We wholeheartedly recommend this place. And if you’re in the area, don’t miss the café, a true haven nestled within this magical environment. Ute, we shared unforgettable moments that we will always cherish. Your stories will be deeply missed, as will Tina. Thank you for your warmth, generosity, and kindness. We wish you all the success and happiness you so truly deserve. Greetings, Joyce and Ana :)

Jorg was a wonderful addition to our family. Polite, easygoing, cheerful and entertaining, he was the perfect house guest and an incredible worker. Happily got on with the tasks we asked (garden clearing and wood chopping) the area will forever be known as Jorg’s battlefield. In just 10 days he has prepared enough wood for our log burner for at least 2 years. Highly recommended and 100% welcome back anytime.

This experience has been one of the most amazing experience in our lives! If you are looking for a remote place and want to be disconnected from the noisy world, this volunteering is for you. You'll learn sooo much about nature and wildlife. You'll learn how to be patient and passionate. The only noise you'll hear will be the songs of the birds, the trees and the rain. Our time at the reserve was life changing. We've met incredible people. CK and Sophie are amazing💚

Well, where do I start ....... Michelle gave me the poops .. .. ha ha ... She knew every plant in our garden not only by their standard name but also their botanical name ........ OK, let's talk real stuff ...... Michelle and Steve arrived on the Monday evening, and we did the usual pleasantries, and what we were looking at them doing. Graeme gets up about 5am, but does tend to nod off, whilst I get up at about 8am. Michelle and Steve were already in the front garden pulling weeds out!!!! Graeme is in his mid eighties whilst I am in my late seventies, and we felt lazy :-) :-) They left on the Friday morning, and although they were here for the 3 days and we tried to ask them to stop work at mid-day, they did more work than Graeme and I could do in a month!!! Steve and Michelle weeded both the front and back gardens, trimmed bushes and plants including our roses, replaced sand between our pavers, and, much to Steve's chagrin put up lots of solar lights and liked the finished product. They ate everything, and never complained about anything. Their room was well looked after and when they left, Michelle insisted on running the vacuum over everything and cleaning their bathroom. This morning, they left, and, we told them if they are ever in the area just to drop in and have a cuppa ... and, we expect to see them later on in the year. Such a wonderful couple ..... if they ask you to host them say NO, then, hopefully, they will come back to us .... :-) :-)

I had a very pleasant stay in this vibrant village, truly an awesome place to learn more about this part of Australia. Rachel and David were wonderful hosts who made me feel part of the community from the very first day. They were especially helpful right from the start, always making sure the logistics worked smoothly. I had a great time caring for the two dogs and felt blessed every day by the presence of the alpacas. My tasks included gardening and helping around the house. Sharing beautiful moments each day helped me gain a deeper, more personal understanding of life “Down Under.” I definitely recommend this Workaway experience, and who knows, I might even come back one day!

I spent two incredible months (Oct-Dec 2025) working with Jimmy and Denis delivering counselling to individuals, families and groups in the villages surrounding Fort Portal. Although it was emotionally challenging to hear the harsh realities of people’s lives, I absolutely loved this work! Jimmy and Denis’s passion and commitment to their work is truly remarkable, and I felt privileged to be working alongside them and learning from them. They were very open, too, to my comments, feedback, ideas etc. and made me feel really part of the team. It was also a privilege to be able to develop meaningful relationships with our clients, from whom I also learned so much. There’s a wide range of ways in which the work can be supported, so you don’t need to be a counsellor (as I am) to volunteer here. As if that wasn’t enough, I was blown away by the scenery and the wildlife in this part of Uganda – there are lakes and hot springs and caves to visit, and there’s really good access to safari experiences etc. from here. The town of Fort Portal is small and pleasant, with markets, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, botanical gardens and a palace to visit, for all your leisure and living needs! The accommodation was a few miles out of town, and rather basic, but that just helped me to better understand something of local life. The town was easily accessible by motorbike taxi. I truly cannot overstate how awesome and rewarding this experience was! Jimmy and Denis have found a very secure place in my heart, and I will never forget the time I spent with them and with our clients.

Very great experience with Andreas, Katharina and their son. This was my second Workaway experience and their first time as hosts. I am delighted to hear that they also enjoyed the two weeks I spent with them. 😉

We spent 20 days at the farm with Barrir and his whole team, we also met many volunteers, we loved it! Sincerely it is an exceptional accommodation with common areas, hammocks, a ping-pong table... Aimy is very Devoted and caring. Barrir helped me a lot, When my phone broke he took all the steps. He also taught us many things about permaculture... As soon as we arrived we left for 2 days on a hike to another village to celebrate a ceremony. It was one of the best experiences of our trip. In short, thank you to all of you, you are awesome! :)

It was a real pleasure to host Ezequiel. He is very dedicated, strong, attentive, and joyful, always ready to help with any task. He adapts easily to new situations and quickly learned many new skills, showing both motivation and curiosity. He worked seriously and reliably, while always keeping a positive attitude and good energy. His presence was greatly appreciated by everyone, both for his hard work and his friendly, easygoing nature. We would gladly recommend him to any host.

I got the chance to spend the most enjoyable two weeks at the farm of Joram and Eli. I enyoyed taking care of their animals (most lovely dogs 💕) very much and being in great nature as a contrast to my big city life. They are very kind and open people and it was a pleasure to meet them before and after my house and pet sitting. Their guest house is made with a lot of love and I spent cozy evenings in front of the stove😌 I could not wish for a better experience. Thanks a lot and I hope to see you again 😊

It was a true blessing to welcome Melissa for her first volunteer experience. From the very beginning, she was an example through her dedication, kindness, and joyful spirit. She approached every task with seriousness and generosity, always ready to help and to serve with care and humility. Her presence enriched the community in a special way. Her faith practice was sincere and inspiring, lived with simplicity and deep respect for everyone, regardless of their beliefs. She brought a peaceful, positive energy, and shared genuine moments of connection, laughter, and reflection with all of us. We are deeply grateful for the time Melissa spent here and wholeheartedly recommend her to any future host. She would be a precious volunteer to any community.

Hosting Alice was an absolute joy from beginning to end. She is a wonderfully open, kind, and generous person, always attentive to others and fully engaged in community life. Alice approached every task with enthusiasm, care, and dedication, whether working in the kitchen, the garden, or on indoor projects. Beyond her reliability, she brought something truly special to the abbey through her sensitivity, creativity, and warmth. Her presence was uplifting, and she connected naturally with everyone around her. The moment she shared her singing with the community was deeply moving and will remain a beautiful memory for us all. We are very grateful for the time she spent with us and wholeheartedly recommend her to any future host.

Haruka was a truly wonderful presence in our community. From the very beginning, she showed herself to be attentive, kind, and warm, always approaching everything she did with dedication, sincerity, and a genuine sense of responsibility. She is trustworthy, patient, and consistently considerate of others, which made daily life with her easy and pleasant. She contributed with great care to every task entrusted to her and could always be relied upon. In addition, she is a very good cook, bringing both skill and thoughtfulness into the kitchen. Her calm, balanced, and genuine nature created a peaceful atmosphere around her, and she was a real joy to work with and to have as part of the community. We warmly and wholeheartedly recommend Haruka to any future host.

It was a real joy to welcome Marine in the abbey. She is an open-minded, attentive, and deeply respectful person, always eager to learn and to help. From the very first day, she showed great goodwill and dedication in every task entrusted to her, whatever the service: she worked seriously, efficiently, and always with a positive attitude. Beyond her commitment to the work, she brought a kind presence to the community. Marine listens carefully, adapts easily, and is genuinely interested in others. We truly appreciated her reliability, her generosity, and her ability to contribute wholeheartedly to community life. We would warmly recommend her to any future hosts.
