Beautiful place, amazing people. very well organized and fully equipped. I higly recommend

Aida stayed with us for a month and we wished she could stay longer! She is one of the most helpful guests we have had the pleasure of hosting. Aida was very easy to talk to and get along with, as well as punctual, hard working, and a great listener with attention to detail. When a task was assigned to her it was done efficiently and correctly. Her tasks included shovelling snow, hauling firewood, cleaning the kitchen and dining room, brushing the dogs, vacuuming, minding the baby, and some meal preparation and kitchen help. She has a broad range of skills and is a quick learner. She was happy to join us on weekends for activities such as snowmobiling, cross-country skiing etc. She was interesting to talk to and speaks perfect English. She was great with the kids and dogs as well. Thanks Aida, we hope to see you soon!

Throughout this past month, Jules and Lisa have been such a lovely presence; always with a smile and a wonderful, uplifting energy. Often singing, always in a good mood, bringing lightness and positivity to the daily rhythm of the place. A beautiful attitude toward teamwork and everyday tasks, contributing with kindness, enthusiasm, and a genuine spirit of collaboration. The shared coffees, little anecdotes, and simple moments naturally turned into beautiful memories. Both brought something special to the team, and it has truly been a pleasure having them here with us. Thank you for the warmth, the energy, and everything you shared during your time here.

A big thank you to Juliette and Fanny; two truly sunny souls who brought so much vitality, kindness, and positive energy during their month here as volunteers. Wonderful city girls with a beautiful spark, always ready to help, share a smile, and bring their good spirit into the little moments of everyday life. It has been truly lovely having you here and sharing this time together. Thank you for your energy, your laughter, and your light. ✨ Bird Island Team, Vico & Emma

Trbajaron duro y me ayudaron muchísimo.. y disfrute de comidas japonesas de interpretación de Yachi...nos divertimos y tuvimos desayunos prolongados..Los echaré mucho de menos..o sea los extrañare Un fuerte abrazo julio

We loved having Tash stay with us. She was very helpful, respectful and lots of fun. She worked well together with us to complete the many jobs on our list, showing initiative on many occasions. And she was happy take on new tasks even when unfamiliar to her. We would recommend her to other hosts. We have certainly made a new friend and plan to keep in touch.

Thank you to Natalia and Fernando for letting us stay so spontaneously! We spent about a week with them and their beautiful family and had a great time. They made us feel very welcome and we had some great conversations! It really felt like staying with friends :) We did some housework, but also got to work together on some of their projects. A highlight was joining Natalia's English classes! Laguna Verde is a friendly place with a nice beach and good connection to beautiful Valparaíso and Viña del Mar. Getting here from Santiago is easy! Thanks again to all of you, we can only recommend this workaway!!

Adam is great fun and help. We hope he returns soon.

Achil helped us at our hostel for three weeks. It was a wonderful experience having him on our staff. He's a very sociable, friendly, and kind person, always willing to help with anything. He quickly integrated into the group of volunteers and shared wonderful days with many guests who stayed at our hostel during that time. We hope he does very well and that we can meet again someday.

Who is this Workaway guy named Edgar? Basically, he's a man with an interesting life story. If you look at his hands, you'll discover a history of intense manual labor. But what has been most valuable to us is his extensive knowledge of climbing. And to be honest, he's been a taxi for all the volunteers to go climbing, and he's transported many things we've needed. Edgar leaves, disappears, and then disappears again. Edgar is a fantastic guy with a great sense of humor and a genuine love for friendship. A hug, Paco

Good evening... Namaste... We would love for you to stop by our project... for many reasons, but the most important is so you can speak to us in Italian... Our eldest son, Pablo, 39, who is ill, loves a long conversation every day... about movies, travel, philosophy... The second reason is because of your experience in other projects... something very interesting... We love to talk... Spaniards and Italians are the most talkative in all of Europe... Greeks too... We speak English... and, a little rustic. We're waiting for you... Best regards, Paco... We await your message, Paco

My partner and I stayed here for 3 weeks. however, before we arrived we had agreed on a minimum of one month. we thought this meant we would have the chance to work on a bigger project, but that was not the case. The tasks seemed to be very separated and a bit random, like painting a wall or picking up some thrash. There seemed to be a lack of guidance for the volunteers and that became clear immediately so we shortened our stay. the place is truly beautiful and Kenzie's vision is really amazing, sadly she was not there for most of the time and the vision she has is not really translated in the actions of the workers. there is still a lot of alcohol and cigarettes and we were also asked to paint the trees with gasoline which is just really bad for the environment. I tried to open a conversation about this but there was no openess from their side sadly enough. We did created our own project in working with herbal medicine which was incredibly nice so there is a big openness in doing your own project (as long as it brings profit to the place because that is a really important thing there). But you have to be assertive and creative enough to do that or you'll be stuck with painting a wall or varnishing a tree for the whole stay. Also we were expected to cook for guests and serve them at the restaurant which was never discussed beforehand and we were also not allowed to count this as working time. Meaning we actually worked 7 hour shifts often and could only end our day by 9 in the evening which was really tiring

Paige and Luke were our first volunteers at the Hotel and they were incredible! So pleasant, helpful, and patient with us as we figured things out together. They got along well with our staff and our guests, were respectful in all interactions, and exceeded work expectations. They were an absolute delight to host.

Dan really saved me when I needed to leave other place (not workaway place). Dan reacted so quickly and offered me that I could stay with him for a while which I really appreciate, it was last minute. He told me lot about Aboriginal culture and showed me interesting places around. However I can't tell if it was because such a last announcement of my arrival or if it's standard, but the place was little bit messy (which I was quite OK with, but I am writing it here because someone else could be more sensitive about it and be surprised in a bad way). My room was tidy and clean, I am speaking just about the shared area of house (kitchen, living room etc.) And also could be better for next guest to know that it would be better to visit this place with a car as there's not so much around and not so good acces to public transport. However I am really glad for welcoming me and offering me a place to stay and wish you all the best, Dan! Overall for me the most important thing about hosts is how they are friendly and open minded (as you were), not so much how the place looks. I just think it's fair to write it here so others wouldn't be surprised.

Ha sido un hermoso tiempo en Palomino con Ángela y Angela María te hacen sentir como en casa, te explican todo antes de que lo hagas, están muy pendiente de si necesitas algo y son muy amables, la comida es muy rica y tienes snacks en el turno. Las actividades son principalmente jardinería (replantear, sacar los mentes, podar con maquina) te dan los materiales de protección, y limpieza cosas muy básicas, son 5 horas al día 5 días a la semana. Tienen piscina y los horarios están bien para tener la el resto del día libre, tiene una habitación privada solo para ti

I stayed at Steen place for about 3 weeks and it was such an amazing experience. I've had the chance to meet him, his daughter and a couple of his friends and it was really a good time spent there. Steen is a really pleasant person, quite and genuine. We had the chance to talk about everything and nothing, and he was always there for help and recommendations. He cared a lot about me not working too much, encouraging me to enjoy my stay and visit Copenhagen, which I've done a lot! He was also super appreciative about my works in the garden and I really worked with tranquility and at my own pace. The view from the house is special and the sunset there are just beautiful. I've found a peaceful place where being in contact with nature is easy and distressful. So thank you so much for everything Steen! I hope we cross each other's path again!

If you love animals and are vegan, look no further: this is the place! I adored all the animals. They all have a piece of my heart, from the newest residents A’a and Mischief to the sanctuary elders like lovely Prince and darling Yow Yow. Shawna and Maria are incredibly kind, thoughtful, considerate, understanding and generous. They are happy to answer any questions and show you everything the Hawaiian way whereby you learn by watching first how it’s done and then doing it yourself. The sanctuary is a super intentional, well organised, clean, tidy and a peaceful place for both the animals and the humans. The thought and care put into the animals and humans experience is incredible. They have thought of absolutely everything from providing wellies so you don’t have to worry about your luggage/baggage allowance to provinding snorkelling gear, beach towels and beach bags whenever you have free time. They respect and appreciate volunteers time and never went even a minute over the allocated work time. I loved just hanging out at the sanctuary during my free time but the local town is neat too, the library, post office, stores, cafes, etc are all within walking distance. The only danger is if you try the brownies at Kayas… financial decimation is a real likelihood. Maria and Shawna have created such a special place where all the animals get to just be themselves and live their lives peacefully. At the sanctuary, everybody who calls it home is treated with love, kindness and are given the highest level of care. Maria and Shawna are definitely doing their part in helping to make the World a better place! Thank you for letting me lend a hand for a little while and seeing what the World could be for the animals we live alongside! I signed up to Workaway in the hopes of getting to come here, and I had the best time here and I can’t wait to hopefully come back! They’ve really set the bar high for what Workaway should be like! If they’re happy to have you at the sanctuary: take the opportunity with both hands! ( P. S . A huge thank you for all the Mac n cheese! Best Mac n cheese I’ve had!!)

I had a great time staying with Denise and Betsy - what a joyful, kind, and witty pair! Work included dusting high places, washing walls and floors, and weeding one of the pathways alongside their house. I had *ample* (much more than expected) time to explore Queenstown and the surrounding areas, and I would second the review that says they won't ask but it’s good to help out extra where you can (like cleaning up after dinner), since they are so generous about letting you have your time off. I was well-fed with both food and pleasant company, and River and Willow, though yes, a bit chaotic! were great fun to make friends with and good couch company. I can highly recommend a stay to anyone.

Vera came and spent a couple nights here visiting as we already had a work away staying as well. She was an easy guest and even made a Portuguese dinner for us.
