I was very lucky to have met Laura. She is very diligent and also a real pleasure to talk and spend time with her. It was a real pleasure to have Laura staying with us. She's kind, responsible, fun, hard working, precise. She was a really reliable help and a very good company! Laura very quickly she finds her way around a new situation. Because of her calm and pleasant nature, she soon seemed like a member of our own family. She sees herself responsible for what needs to be done, is good at getting things done and completes all tasks conscientiously and neatly. She adapted to every situation and day. She had so much patience and affection towards our little girl. She taught me that you can live life joyfully and appreciate the beautiful things in what you are experiencing and that everything around us is beautiful. I would definitely recommend her to any host and would be super happy if she decides to come back here at any time.

Ella stayed about one and half month with us. She was not just a volunteer but we really became friends and enjoyed a lot her presence at home. She's a very quiet but hard-working woman that helped us a lot with all the tasks of the farm, like working with the coffee, planting, preparing some seedlings, doing fences to protect the gardens (so much patience for that, amazing work !), working on the compost, watering the plants, helping in the kitchen and much more... oh and of course petting the dogs ^^ She's a bit too shy to speak Spanish but it's just a question of confidence, keep on trying and trust yourself my dear! She was always ready to do something and asking if she could anything to help (especially to support Clem in the kitchen). We also did some wonderful chocolate bars together, such a great recipe :p We wish you the best for your future plans and thank you again for your generosity and your presence with us !

I had a nice time on Teresa's farm, sharing with a very nice Spanish family and 2 Moroccan girls. We got on well once I'd settled in and managed well despite the very challenging weather we suddenly had! This led to powercuts which wasn't ideal during cold nights in a caravan but we all coped ok. Work was a lot of orange picking and looking after the chickens and Dango, who was a challenge at times but I've definately missed him! The surrounding area is nice to walk after the work is done, and you can also bus or walk into Tortosa which is worth checking out and to buy food. I'll miss everyone there, it was a good experience for me and I learned to cope better in the cold and dark- thank you!

Thank you so much Angie, Ñaño and Fafi for a beautiful three weeks not only in your home, but as part of your beautiful family. Always curious about other cultures, languages, personalities, and it was a joy to share what I could with you and learn everything I could from you. If I ever return to Chile I would love to see you all again, and if you ever visit Scotland you have a home with me. All of my love, Hally ❤️

I had a nice time back in November with Lisa, Bernhard and the playful boys. The work was quite long hours and I also filled their wood burner each evening by myself (some days twice as it had gotten very cold outside!). I cooked for myself but I could also join Lisa for their family dinner when possible. The surrounding area is picturesque, just a little tricky to navigate at first- Gmunden is very nice to visit but a good distance away so I went by bike as they kindly lent me a bike. The accomodation is very nice with a kitchen shared with anyone staying there. I had a nice time chatting to the family, playing with the kids, and learning some woodwork skills from Bernhard. Thanks for the nice stay!

My experience at Nicola's was truly rewarding. They gave me their full trust, which I really appreciated. They were very understanding and supportive when I made mistakes, and extremely accommodating, giving me lifts when needed and even letting me use their e-bike so I could fully explore the region. I also really enjoyed sharing meals with them, and the area was absolutely wonderful. I would highly recommend this placement to anyone looking for a welcoming and enriching experience.

Great experience! Martin and his family are lovely and interesting people. They get along very well and taught me the importance of family. Sometimes they shout at each other in the kitchen, but it's hard love😂 I enjoyed the beers with the other volunteers and celebrated my birthday with them. Lived in a generous apartment, never felt overworked and was treated fairly. Thank you ✌️

Alexandre did an excellent job at the English academy. The students connected with him very well from the beginning, felt motivated, and actively participated in the classes. His teaching was incredible—clear, dynamic, and engaging—and he created a very positive learning environment. His contribution was truly valuable for our students and the team.

Navee is a super welcoming person, who never says no to a plan. She is in for every activity and creates a wonderful vibe with her bright smile and positive attitude. She was always hands on, ready to help with anything she could and did her volunteer work absolutely perfect. She is responsible and reliable and absolutely perfect to be around your hostel. Unfortunately she left us way earlier than expected, but she let us know as soon as possible to allow us to find a replacement for her and leave everything organized. So in short, anybody receiving Navee as a volunteer can relax, you got a really good one here! :)

Mariaaaa =D She was very kind, helpful and friendly to everyone here at my place. She not only helped us to paint some woods, she did alot of cleaning and gardening too. In fact I named a path in my garden after her! Haha. Oh, she never had any complaints and always try to understand others. To me, she is such a brave woman to be able to travel alone at her age and do things all by herself (with such heavy backpack haha) Future hosts will be lucky to have this lovely person as their workawayer!

We had a great time hosting Ekatarina and Petr's family. Good chats, funny cooking sessions and nice mutual understanding. All the family helped around, especially installing the new wooden floor. I would definitely recommend to host them!

Sára is a wonderful, very interesting person, who lights up the room with her positive energy. She loves to communicate with people and shares a lot about her home country (gifts included! :D). Anybody working with her as a volunteer can be super happy, because she always gives 100 % in what she does. She goes far and beyond to create an amazing atmosphere for everybody and help wherever she can. She is motivated, responsible and just a perfect fit. We were happy to have her and would love is she crosses our hostel again one day. Thanks for everything, Sára!

Awesomee workaway!! :) I've stayed here for one month and a half around 4 years ago and I still think about it often. Arif is a legend, he is very easy going and he likes to work in a smart way. His family is truly wonderful, everyone is such a character and the pizzas you will learn to make are fantastic! Arif made sure we enjoyed our time and made us understand how special the island is. He toured us through a traditional village, to the waterfall, brought us to a local festival, to eat the best Nasi goreng in town and gave us a lot of suggestions. The work was easy, it did not feel like work most of the times, it felt like helping friends and family while having fun. Often we were so surfed out that everything suddenly became hilarious ahaha Nias can also be culturally shocking, it is full of incredibly nice locals however be prepared, in some occasion, you might feel like a superstar surrounded by paparazzi ahaha also the more you stay the more you see, understand and hear about "crazy" and sometimes perplexing stories, I guess it is also what makes the workaway so special. Would love to go back and see what’s going on! Hope you are doing fantastic, a big hug to the whole family :D

Sajjad came to my place on 20.10-25 and left on 06.01-26. We got along very well from the beginning. He was a great help to me during this time. He made sure that there was always firewood inside to heat the wood stove, which also provided additional heat for us. He also shoveled snow from the yard and cleaned the house. I was very happy with him. We also went to meet my relatives. Together we went to the Porvoo Christmas market and met Santa Claus. On New Year's Day we went to Askola to watch the fireworks and eat grilled sausage. I also had a small farewell party for Sajjad. I would like to welcome at my place once again.

Veramente piacevole compagnia

Gracias, Pilar, por todo lo que has hecho. He apreciado mucho tu acogida, tu amabilidad y tu forma de comunicarte: eres clara, receptiva y siempre respetuosa, lo que inspira confianza desde el principio. Te tomas el tiempo necesario para explicar las cosas, ofreces un marco serio y, al mismo tiempo, sabes escuchar y ser flexible cuando es necesario. Se nota que quieres que todo salga bien para todos, y eso realmente cambia la experiencia. Gracias a ti, me he sentido cómodo y bien acompañado, con una organización sencilla y una comunicación fluida. Te doy las gracias sinceramente y te recomiendo sin dudarlo a cualquiera que busque a alguien fiable, humano y muy amable.

My time at the hostel was really great and chill. I met people from all over the world, made new friends, and discovered different and incredible places in Lebanon. The work is very relaxed and the team is very nice and honest, which is very important in the world of volunteering. The owner is very nice and is always willing to show you places in the country, where to go, eat, and see. I'm really happy and glad to volunteered here. Thank you Hichan for accepting me was a pleasure to meet you and Ana.

Lisa and Phill were an absolute joy to have at the house. They brought great energy, were always smiling, and adapted easily to all the different activities and schedules. Even though we don’t usually host couples, they truly stood out by making the effort to connect deeply with our guests and our family even our little cat austero when he got sick . They didn’t just help—they became friends, and their presence added so much warmth to the experience. We’re very thankful for everything they shared with us and would welcome them back anytime.

Hillary and Rebecca are excellent workers and really lovely people! We very much enjoyed meeting and hosting them. They worked extremely hard, followed instructions intelligently and needed minimal supervision. If they are ever back in Portugal we would love to see them again. In the meantime, we wish them good fortune and happiness in their journey.

It was a pleasure to host Marco and Chiara at our family farm and to accompany them on the Kanchenjunga Circuit Trek. Throughout both experiences, they were respectful, reliable, and genuinely engaged. At the farm, they contributed enthusiastically to daily activities, including field preparation and planting fruit and spice trees, and showed sincere interest in traditional farming practices and local cuisine. During the trek, they were positive, adaptable, and considerate companions, demonstrating respect for local culture, nature, and the team. We are truly grateful for their time, effort, and positive attitude. We would confidently recommend Marco and Chiara to other hosts and would be happy to welcome them again in the future 🙏
