Laissé par l'hôte (Learning new skills at a ...) pour le workawayer ()

Normally we wouldn't want to give energy to this kind of behavior, but more than shaming Eline, we want to strengthen the values that we stand for and encourage people to take volunteering as a serious commitment — with any host, not just us.
Eline stayed with us for around 9 days. Everything went well at first, but it quickly turned into one of … read more the most unpleasant experiences we've had since we started hosting volunteers.
After a few days in which everything was pleasant, with no prior political interaction, she approached Eyal — who immigrated to Colombia from Israel 10 years ago — and demanded to know his position on the Israel-Gaza conflict so she could decide whether to stay or leave.

We're proud that ours has always been a place where people from all cultures, without exception, can meet and exchange experiences, gaining from the immense value of connecting with people from around the world and exchanging views and ideas — with one rule: mutual respect and tolerance, and respect for the house and program rules.

Once Eline took her political position, it felt like she stopped seeing Eyal as a person with whom she had very nice interaction up until this moment and started trying to provoke conflict. She decided to leave as soon as possible because, in her words, she "couldn't stand to share the space with someone with different views than hers." That's unfortunate, and it could have been avoided entirely if she'd communicated her intolerance before coming — we would have simply rejected her application and avoided the discomfort of our peaceful house being used #redacted#.

She also asked for a refund for her remaining days and made a scene about it, despite having agreed to our policy in writing before her arrival. This is exactly the kind of situation that policy exists to prevent.

We hope this review reaches anyone considering our volunteer program:
This is a little paradise bubble where people from any culture can meet, exchange life views and experiences, and work as a team on an eco-resort while learning new skills. Please don't come if your intention is to disrupt that peace and create conflict.
Over the last 10 years, we've constantly improved our volunteer program and how clearly we communicate it to applicants. If something in our policies or routine doesn't appeal to you or that you disagree with, we strongly encourage you to raise it before accepting, or simply decline — rather than showing up and hoping we'll reshape the whole program around you

First I want to say that I left because Eyal and I had different views on moral topics. And I wasn’t comfortable staying knowing this. But I also wanted to say that I think this place doesn’t do justice to a ‘workaway’ place. You have to pay for two weeks when you arrive, which doesn’t give you the freedom to leave when you want and forces you to … read more

Sol was a lovely person and she cares and helps you if needed. You have a whole place for yourself and three other volunteers with kitchen, bathroom, washer and dryer and a lovely terras! You had to be independent and in the beginning I found it hard as I didn’t really know the place and knew what to do and how. But after a while you get used to … read more

Eline is brilliant, calm yet restless, quiet yet full of surprises—I must say she makes extraordinary fruit smoothies that we really miss a lot. She’s reserved, but when she laughs, she lights up the whole place. She helped a lot with repairing fences and pipes, and she’s so loving toward the horses and dogs. We rode along the beach and through … read more
