I stayed at Åshild place for only a week but it was a beautiful one. She is so kind, thoughtful and made me feel very appreciated. I helped with the vegetable garden and during the drum building retreat with the cooking and cleaning. So special to be part of that time and meeting many beautiful people. Thank you Åshild and I hope to be back one day to build my own drum.

I had the pleasure of having Pierre and Hollie in our home, where they helped with Noah and Elara, as well as assisting with painting and improving the house. They were an exceptional couple, and their presence was a true relief. From the start, Pierre and Hollie were cheerful, independent individuals with a great willingness to help. They quickly adapted to our way of life and were always patient, especially with my English. Despite the language barrier, they did everything they could to understand and contribute to whatever we needed. They are very resourceful and hardworking people. They helped in every way possible, and their support was crucial in getting the house into great shape. Although their main focus was on organizing and settling the house, they also got along very well with the kids, always being attentive and kind to them. Pierre and Hollie proved to be very responsible and committed to their work, and I was extremely grateful for their support. They were an exemplary couple, and I would definitely recommend them to any family. Muchas gracias por vuestra paciencia y comprensión. Estoy segura de que os irá genial. Espero volver a veros chicos!

It was a pleasure having Blandine as an au pair in our home for two and a half months, and I can confidently say that it was a very positive experience. From the beginning, Blandine showed herself to be a kind, reliable, and eager-to-learn person. Although she initially faced some challenges in adapting to the routine and environment, she quickly settled in and demonstrated a great ability to care for Noah and Elara. She took care of them without any issues, providing them with affection, attention, and building a good relationship with both. One of the things we appreciated the most was her responsible attitude and organizational skills. She is a very clean and tidy person, which was a big relief in the house. She always took care of her tasks efficiently and respected the house rules without needing reminders. Throughout her stay, Blandine proved to be a very respectful, attentive, and well-intentioned person. It was a pleasure having her in our home, and I would definitely recommend her as an au pair to any family. Te echamos de menos Blandine! À tout à l'heure!!

Bea and Christian are fantastic and experienced hosts. They are knowledgeable, thoughtful, and fun to be around. They included me in their lovely mix of work / holidays, in their beautiful place and all around the island : we shared seabath, picnics on the beach, saunas, bike tours, … They know the amazing sites of Hiiumaa and I felt like discovering it as an insider with them. Logically, their place (and Bea’s delicious cooking !) attracts nice people and I met radiant personalities there. I was here in July and helped with lots of different tasks, including collecting and spreading hay, collecting herbs and flowers, repiquage of seedlings, weeding, … Each activity was well prepared and explained, with great quality tools. So, for the unique beauty of Hiiumaa, the generosity of Christian and Bea, I can only recommend to go and see them !

I spent three weeks with Susan, an incredible woman who made me feel comfortable from the very first moment. Her warmth and hospitality created a truly welcoming environment. We spent time playing cards, having deep conversations, and also went on many little outings and adventures together. Susan always made sure we had the option to be driven wherever we needed to go, which added a real sense of freedom and flexibility to the experience.For anyone looking to improve their English, this is the ideal place—Susan speaks clearly, slowly, and very understandably. She’s also a fantastic cook who treated us to delicious homemade meals and always made sure we were well taken care of. Our tasks were mostly outdoors: stacking wood, pulling weeds, planting flowers, and doing a bit of painting. Everything was manageable and even fun! Susan lives with a group of the sweetest dogs, cats, and chickens. They’re all extremely affectionate, and I genuinely enjoyed spending time with them. And Susan herself? She's witty, incredibly intelligent, and endlessly empathetic. She's someone who listens, compromises, and makes sure everyone feels heard and included. Time with her is never dull! I would absolutely recommend visiting Susan at least once—it’s an experience that stays with you.

Cole was great. A good worker and fast learner. He did gardening, helped with carpentry, pool maintenance and other things around the house. We also had a great time having him at our place. A cocktail maker, good music purveyor, a fun guy overall, smart and with good sense of humour. I wish him the best for his adventures across the globe.

This July I was spending time with Nina, Tim and friends and fam at their beautiful place in Rinnefors. It was my 2nd work away experience and it was priceless. Nina and Tim have created a paradise at Rinnefors! As a workawayer you are part of the family and based on your skills and preferences you decide together what your tasks will be. In my case it was gardening in their beautiful garden. Besides working there was plenty of time for good convo's, jokes, swims in the lake, relaxing canoe trips, and I even slept on an island in the lake with my tent once! Not to forget that Tim and Nina cook absolutely great, tasty and healthy meals. The summary: it was an amazing stay! Thanks Nina and Tim!

What made this stay truly special was how Filippo went beyond just hosting—they made me feel like part of their life. Yes, the work (gardening, weeding, feeding chickens) was fine, but the real magic happened after work. We didn’t just see the area—we lived it: swimming in hidden creeks, smoky BBQs under the stars, and dancing at a local village party like we belonged there. He enthusiasm for sharing their culture turned simple moments into adventures—whether playing game over wine or laughing at our failed attempts at each other’s languages. If you want a Workaway where you’ll gain friends rather than just complete tasks, where you’ll experience rather than just visit—this is it. Thank you for everything!

Nia stayed with us for a month and helped with cleaning, gardening, and some creative mural painting projects. She is polite, respectful, and very quiet — a good fit for hosts who appreciate a calm and independent presence. She was open to instructions and helped out where needed. We wish her all the best in her next adventures!

Katie was an exceptional volunteer during her 6-week stay with us. (Luciana unfortunately was unable to join this time, which was completely understandable.) Katie proved to be consistently kind, warm, and attentive to our clients. She was highly responsible and diligent in her tasks, and her skills as a yoga teacher were a wonderful addition. Beyond her duties, she significantly contributed to a positive atmosphere throughout the hotel. We were also very touched by the excellent care and affection she gave to our dog, Kaya. We are truly grateful for her valuable contribution

Adele stayed with for our regular volunteering schedule (during our semester break) and helped clean the academy in preparation for our summer retreat. Despite not having classes here at the time she engaged with the community in a really open and positive way. She then joined us in visiting our more rural location in Dongshi town to help prepare a chanting with local volunteers and other workaway guests. Adele was engaged in all the activities and interactions with both respect and humor- something our regular members try to embody as well. She won over some members and we hope she can visit Taiwan again in the future!

Mathieu stayed with us for two weeks and his Chinese language skills were so appreciated by staff and volunteers! Everyone here tries their best with English so they especially appreciate when foreigners come showing a language and cultural interest. Mathieu rolled with the schedule and activities here and seemed to spend equal time within our academy as well as heading out and exploring Taipei. He was easy to get along with as we had other volunteers coming and going for period during his stay.

Robin es un joven súper alegre colaborador muy responsable. Muchas gracias por tu ayuda Te deseamos lo mejor esperamos volver a verte

Sorine was great to have at our academy~ she was very present, engaged, took initiative, and was thoughtful with the staff and volunteers. Taiwanese members were very touched by her politeness and grace. Sorine is also a great conversationalists and was flexible and easy going with the schedule and other guests/volunteers! Hope you have a great trip Sorine!

Ich hatte eine unglaubliche tolle Zeit auf Björkebo! Man wird von Anfang an wie ein Familienmitglied aufgenommen und ich habe mich so wohl gefühlt. Es hat einfach alles gepasst, die Landschaft und Umgebung ist wunderschön, die Menschen waren super und die auch die verschiedenen Tätigkeiten waren super, ich habe viel Neues gelernt. Ich kann ein Workaway auf dem Campingplatz nur empfehlen!!! Ich freue mich schon auf meinen nächsten Besuch dort!

Juliane joined our home for two months, and was really a dream to have here. She brought a breath of fresh air into our family, bringing lovely conversation, interaction, and attention, to my parents, the resident kitty and the resident bird, and the other human residents in the house. She really went the extra mile to make sure everyone and everything was well taken care of, rising to occasions including but not limited to: a toenail emergency, a washing machine malfunction, a toilet malfunction, and a shower malfunction (in short, just about all the water options) - alongside all the daily support such as meals, conversation, cleaning, light gardening etc. We really appreciated her understanding that sometimes everything happens at once and things are busy, and sometimes things sail along by themselves and there is more free time. I was very grateful for how straightforwardly she coordinated with us at all times. Juliane has an insightful and also joyful outlook on life that is a pleasure to be around. We really enjoyed her time here and would be delighted for the friendship we've begun to continue for a very long time.We wish her all the very best in her continued travels!

Ruchi is a very special person! She was a pleasure to have in our house and so aware of leaving only a very small foot print on this earth! My dogs who are usually very wary of new people just loved her and she has many skills that I admire! She is not afraid to get her hands dirty and my garden which is very large benefited very much from her labour! Mostly things were done as she saw them.. she needed very little instruction because she has so much common sense!! I cannot recommend her highly enough Fran

Tamara was a super workawayer who stayed with me for two weeks. During that time, She was happy to throw herself into any of the tasks we had. Eager to learn and not afraid to try her hand at anything. She has a ton of knowledge regarding BnB (as she ran her own business previously) I found her to be a great all round person. Intelligent, very communicative and considerate. Clean, tidy good with gardening and a great cook. It was sad to see her leave. Tamara is welcome back any time.

We have recently had an excellent experience with Barb: she is reliable, responsible and has excellent work ethics. We hope to repeat the experience in the future. Anto and team.

Marion’s dedication and hands-on approach were unmatched. She was always going the extra mile whether cleaning, helping with tasks, or giving the dogs all the love they deserved. A truly invaluable part of the team!
