I hosted Marnie for about two weeks and we had a great time together. She took care of the things that needed to be done and there’s nothing I can complain about. Marnie was friendly, reliable and willing to support wherever needed. Her positive attitude contributed to a great atmosphere for both guest and staff. She’s welcome to come back anytime!

Audrey stayed with us in the month of May, she helped us out with cleaning and general maintenance of the hostel. She was proactive, and would go above and beyond without being asked. She's independent, she has her own vehicle which made things easier for her, this also meant she could bring others on adventures - needless to say that she got on quite well with everybody. We would definitely recommend Audrey to any future hosts

You can't wish for a better volunteer! Azura has been the sweetest person to have around, highly skilled, perfect work ethic- she did such an amazing job! I can only recommend her. and would be happy to welcome her back anytime. 💖

Our first-ever Workaway experience in France was everything we could have hoped for and more. We had an amazing time, learned so much, and felt genuinely welcomed from the moment we arrived. A special thank you to Jane, whose kindness, generosity, and incredible knowledge of the local area made our stay truly memorable. Her passion for the history, culture, and hidden gems of the region added so much to our experience and helped us appreciate the area in a way we never could have on our own. We leave with wonderful memories, new friendships, and a deep appreciation for the Workaway community. Thank you, Jane, for making our first Workaway such a positive and unforgettable experience!

You can't wish for better volunteers! Azura and Luis have been the sweetest people to have around, highly skilled, perfect work ethic- they did such an amazing job in my house! I can only recommend them and would be happy to welcome them back anytime. 💖

Tobi is a beautiful human being! He stayed with us for 10 days and it was an absolute pleasure to have him. He is generous with his time and presence, mindful, cares for details, curious and very easy to live with. We had a few projects in mind for him to help us but we had an unexpected visit from the construction guy and finally we could tear down a wall we wanted to take out for many months...so most of the first week was focused on that. We all learned together and he was stoked with all the tasks we did and proposed him to do. He also helped us finish our last bed of the garden, transplant some veggies there, clean the chicken house, cut the grass/bush and prepare a future green filter/garden next to the chicken house. So yes, plans changed and he just adapted to every new turn of events with a big smile. We had deep conversations and also made jokes about mundane things... very easy going! We also practiced yoga together in the city and he joined Pol for an openning of a friend's new business and got along with Pol's friends easily :) It was a blessing having him with us. Thank you Tobi for being how and how you are!!!

We really enjoyed our time at Inken’s place helping her get the downstairs Airbnb apartment ready for the last 2 weeks. It was fun putting our renovation and repair skills to good use. The apartment we stayed in was lovely and Aljezur is beautiful. The outdoor deck and pool were a highlight for us! It’s also only a 30 minute drive to Lagos. Inken is a warm and kind-hearted person. It was really nice to be around her calm and positive energy! We enjoyed the opportunity to get to know her more throughout our stay. Having a hire car was very handy so we could explore. Walking to the shops and the beach is doable but not super practical, so we’d definitely recommend having a car. It was cheap to hire a car from Lisbon but Lagos is also an option for a little more. Before we left, we got to share a lovely dinner with Inken and another Workawayer. We also enjoyed the opportunity to cook a meal together during our stay. We also loved having Inken’s fur babies around. We would come back in a heartbeat and wish Inken all the very best!

I had a wonderful time at the cottage. For a few hours per day I helped out in the garden. Emilie and her cat Doolin were fantastic hosts and great company. We shared lovely meals and interesting conversations together. All in all, I felt very welcome, safe and comfortable at the cottage.

We spent a month with Rachel, Chris, Elliot, and Oliver and their wonderful animals. Of their menagerie Ivory the chicken, Shadow the three-legged dog, Joey the cat, and Jaque the horse became close companions of ours. They made it very hard to say goodbye. Home for the month was a renovated pigeoneer — one of those charming old stone towers you see dotting the French countryside — and it was the perfect little base for everything that followed. The work was varied and satisfying: building a compost bin and a new muck heap, stable shelving, hauling gravel for the driveway, repointing the old farmhouse wall, pruning trees, and helping out with the horses and chickens. Nothing felt overwhelming — just good honest outdoor work with a sense of real contribution at the end of each day. The area is stunning. Historic villages and châteaux practically around every corner. Bring a car if you can — it opens everything up and makes exploration so easy on days off. Rachel is warm and genuinely great to work alongside. Her boys were so polite and helpful and Chris was a great conversationalist. If you’re looking to slow down, get your hands dirty, connect with animals, and soak up the French countryside without any of the noise — this is your place. Thank you Rachel and family for allowing us to have this experience. With appreciation, Kevin & Ella

I had such a wonderful time with this family, and honestly, it was a truly special experience. They are without a doubt some of the kindest, happiest, and most genuine people I have ever met. Valeria is an amazing mother, Ezio is a wonderful person, and Elia… oh, he is simply the sweetest, gentlest little boy you could ever imagine 🥰 They made me feel at home from the very first day. Even though I only spent a short time with them, I already felt like part of the family, and I’m sure this is only the beginning of our friendship. The vegan food was always delicious, and every day was filled with warmth, kindness, and positive energy. Besides being truly wonderful people, Ezio and Valeria have created a beautiful home surrounded by nature and full of love. Their values, outlook on life, and way of living are inspiring and deserve great respect. I genuinely felt welcomed and cared for throughout my stay. They are open-minded, thoughtful, warm-hearted, and incredibly generous people. Thank you, guys, for our trip to the adventure park, for the lovely evening with your friends, and for all the beautiful moments we shared together. I’m leaving with wonderful memories and I truly hope to see you again very soon 💛

they were a Lovely couple.. A big help, not only in the garden, but also they showed off the skills using tools to extend the cabin/accommodation. They are always polite and friendly and keen to get on with things. both friendly and keen . I can recommend both Amber and Marty to any other hosts. to other hosts ; Should you need any more recommendations /Confirmation , please contact me directly. thanks again and good luck with your travels .. Mark and Kana.

If you want a real authentic experience of Bedouin life in Petra this is an amazing place to go! Every day we had a delicious breakfast at Ghassab’s sister’s house and then went into the silent hills of Petra either with the sheep or goats. Herding the sheep is more chill/easy (just a couple hours in the morning and afternoon to take them up the hill and back) and herding the goats is better for people who like hiking for the whole day and are confident on rocky/steep terrain. You also take a lot of breaks and sit in the silent beautiful environment while the goats eat. It can be hard to understand instructions sometimes but it’s fine, Norah is an incredible woman and you will have a real experience not a tourist one! I even saw Norah deliver a baby goat and I carried him home. I felt welcomed straight away by Ghassab and very comfortable as a solo woman - completely disagree with the previous person’s feedback here. The volunteer house is really nice and comfortable and it was brilliant sharing the experience with other volunteers. In the evening we returned for a delicious dinner. I would highly recommend this experience ⭐️

No tengo más que palabras bonitas hacia Saúl. He tenido el placer de tenerlo en casa varias semanas en dos períodos distintos (y espero que vengan más), y realmente ha sido una gran experiencia coincidir con él. Es una persona muy responsable a pesar de su juventud. Hizo sus tareas (y más) a la perfección, dejando el huerto bien preparado para siembra así como ha dejado el bosque como un jardín de lo bien cortado y mantenido que está. Ha hecho un gran trabajo físico exterior a parte de colaborar en el dia dia de la casa y cuidar a los distintos animales de una forma muy ejemplar. Hemos compartido muchos juegos de mesa (poker sobre todo, aunque muchos otros más, que por cierto, se le dan muy bien), charlas, risas, comidas y muchos otros momentos que hemos pasado en casa. Llego un voluntario y se quedo un amigo. Un autentico placer, y hasta luego, porque nos volvemos a ver seguro.

We had such a great experience spending a wonderful month there in the northern wild of Norway. Britta and Marco were excellent hosts, everything went perfectly ! The island is pure gold, so much birds and animals, and the weather was really something with the eternal sun. The balance is perfect between work and freetime : we worked in the morning, had lunch alltogether and then could use the afternoon for whatever we liked. We usually had dinner together as well, each cooking on a different day. We spent a bit of time with other workawayers only at first, as Britta and Marco were on vacation. They were very kind to let us use their car to go to Tromsø or hiking, and to have trust us enough to let us come even as they weren’t there. It was great to also have time with them before we left as they are really gentle and welcoming people, always caring and interesting to talk to :) We couldn’t be happier about this workaway experience, and would recommand it without hesitation! Thanks for everything and hope we’ll meet again! :-) PS: sauna was great! And we already miss the waffles

Le cadre est sans aucun doute l’un des points les plus marquants du projet. Il s’agit d’une zone de montagne très belle, avec des sentiers et des espaces naturels qui permettent facilement de se déconnecter. Concernant le travail, il m’a semblé équilibrée et conforme à ce que j’attendais. La vie en communauté et l’organisation du quotidien ont été plus variables. À certains moments, la communication et les relations changeaient de manière notable, ce qui pouvait créer une certaine incertitude et une forme d’inconfort dans l’ambiance générale. Malgré cela, je reste reconnaissante pour ce que le projet m’a offert et pour ce que j’y ai vécu.

Great job

Wonderful experience. Welcome back anytime. Great help!

My experience with Cumie, Alex, and little Kai was simply wonderful. It was my first Workaway experience, my first solo trip, and my first long stay in another country, and I couldn't have imagined anything better. I stayed with them for five weeks, and if I had been able to, I definitely would have stayed longer. Cumie is an incredibly helpful, calm, generous, and supportive person who is always there when needed. Alex is equally kind, generous, and very funny! And Kai is the cherry on top. Kai is a child you need to get to know in order to live well with him, as he has his own needs that may seem challenging to manage at first. However, it doesn't take long to build a connection with him, and once you do, everything becomes much easier. He respects the boundaries that are set for him and he’s a sweet and generous child. He was patient with me and my not-so-perfect English, and it was incredibly sweet whenever he said, “Tell me the words you don't know in English or Spanish, and I'll teach them to you!”. I learned so much from him, and he will always hold a special place in my heart. They provide accommodation but not food, so that is an expense to take into account. Sometimes they offer you tappers of food but these are definitely not enough to survive, it’s just a plus. They were also very kind to invite me on a boat trip for a day! I stayed in another house they own (not the one where they live), where other people live. There I met people who became friends in a very short time, and with whom I shared so many great experiences. The atmosphere in that house is truly magical. The room is not the best but it has all the basic essentials. I sincerely thank this family for making my experience unforgettable, and I hope to be able to return and visit them again someday. ❤️

This was absolutely the most unique experience I ever had - the project was so much more than contributing to help building the school and washing facilities! From the friendly volunteers&staff members, the incredible lovely people & resilient community, the integration in the Philippino culture and discovering the island - all of it made my experience and journey there even more unique! Feel blessed, and even though the work is intense, it is absolutely rewarding!! Returned home with recharged energy and a full hart! Keep up the amazing work everyone with AH&H is doing!!

Such a delight, courteous, thoughtful, gentle caring nature, works really hard. A total pleasure meeting Q and getting to know him. Hope to be friends for a very long time.
