Workawaying hwew was such a fun and memorable experience! From the moment I arrived it felt like a really social and welcoming place, both for Workawayers and guests. It’s the kind of hostel where there’s always something going on and it’s very easy to meet people from all over the world and cuddle with Lashi, the hostel cat ❤️ The work was straightforward and manageable, mainly helping out around the hostel and keeping things running smoothly. The team works well together and everyone was really supportive, which made the shifts feel relaxed and enjoyable rather than stressful and you have days off to travel around Albania if that's what you'd like to do - a really beautiful country One of the best parts of staying here was definitely the atmosphere. The hostel has a really cosy vibe and there were plenty of opportunities to hang out with other Workawayers and travellers. It felt less like “work” and more like being part of a little community. I made some great friends during my time here both Workawayers and guests and have lots of funny memories from nights out, shared meals, and the general chaos that comes with hostel life. And Nanna and Rovina are amazing cooks! If you enjoy meeting new people, social environments, and being part of a team, this is a great place to Workaway. Thanks for the experience and all the good times Disi xox I'll be back ❤️❤️

I stayed five days here in Narangala, and it was a truly special experience. The place is located in a small mountain village surrounded by beautiful nature and a very peaceful atmosphere. The local people are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Rubeenson and his family are kind, generous, and very hospitable. The meals prepared by Rubensson’s mother were absolutely delicious, some of the best food I had in Sri Lanka! During your free time, you can enjoy wonderful walks in nature, relax by nearby waterfalls, and even swim there. It’s the perfect place to slow down, connect with nature, and discover a very authentic side of Sri Lanka. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a peaceful place, beautiful surroundings, and a warm, welcoming family.

David and Hayley were amazing workawayers and the loveliest, down to earth people with a beautiful manner and endearing personalities. I felt very privileged to meet and host them. I would not usually have workawayers cook for me but Oh wow .....I am still enjoying the flavoursome, healthy meals Hayley made for me to put in the freezer. As a professional chef, she knows how to look at what you've got to come up with delicious meals. This was such a treat! Dave has a broad repertoire of skills - he serviced my air conditioners, the gator and ride on mower, whipper snipped, fixed my robotic vacuum and much more. Both Hayley and Dave were resourceful, worked effectively and used their initiative. I said "If you see something which needs doing, please do it". Nothing was too much trouble. I feel so grateful for all of the work they did both inside and outside on my farm. They were respectful and left my cottage in tip top condition. Anyone around the world would be lucky to have Dave and Hayley as individuals or as a couple as Workawayers. Thanks so much guys! Guess what I'm having tonight? Hayley's superb meatballs - Yummo!

Paphatchaya is a wonderful person, and her property is a beautiful slice of joy away from everything. It was lovely to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life for a while. When you are here, you are far enough from the city to enjoy the peaceful woods, but not so far that logistics become impossible. There are plenty of beautiful small towns within biking distance, and you’ll have enough time to meet local shopkeepers and make friends in the nearby villages. There is even a little wet/dry market within cycling distance. Si Sa Ket City is also close enough for an affordable taxi ride; I actually had a dental emergency during my visit and had no trouble getting help. ​This was perfect for us as a couple—basically two weeks away from the world. If you are a solo traveler and arrive when there are no other Workawayers, it may get a little quiet, but perhaps two weeks of solitude is exactly what you’re looking for. ​Her mom lives nearby and is friendly and patient when communicating via a translator app. Sometimes small miscommunications happen between her and Paphatchaya, but nothing that can’t be easily resolved. There’s a small fridge and kitchen, perfect for preparing meals for two. If you have more people, I could see it becoming difficult to prepare a full meal in the space, but the rice cooker and kettle make things very convenient. ​Nothing will take away from the amazing experience we had here. If you’ve read all of this and it sounds like something you’d enjoy, I definitely recommend it.

The host provided an own accommodation for me, in a house up the hill from where they live themselves, and the house I stayed in had everything I needed. Their place is situated in a nice, quiet area in a small village. We worked on a field and prepared it for the spring, and we also worked with cutting wood. I think it was a nice experience and I like the ideas they had about ecological farming. Helga and her husband are very helpful and easy to speak with. I enjoyed the time I spent at their place.

Alice stayed with me for 2 weeks and I found her to be an absolute treasure. Alice has a friendly easy going personality, she was fun to be around, I found her to be an excellent communicator, she is respectful and has an a terrific work ethic. Alice is also a very independent person arriving by car and in her spare time would go find surf or do a bush walk. Alice mowed my lawns,whipped and snipped and weeded which are not an easy tasks as I live on a hill. Alice also cleaned the windows of my large house and scrubbed an external timber wall. Alice is a competent person and completed all the jobs in good time and with a smiling face. Alice was also a great house guest helping out in the kitchen with meals and dishes. Alice has good interpersonal skills, is fun company and was well liked and accepted by the local community. Alice also showed a great appreciation for the local environment and wildlife. I can totally recommend Alice to any other host as a great workaway to have come stay with you. I wish her all the very best and hope our paths cross again one day.

Gian stayed with us for a couple of weeks through Workaway, and he was honestly one of the best volunteers we’ve ever had. From the moment he arrived he brought an incredibly positive attitude and energy to everything he did. He is easily the hardest-working Workaway we’ve hosted so far. Nothing was ever a problem for him—he just got on with the job, worked hard, and always did it with a smile. His willingness to help with anything made a huge difference while he was here. Gian also fitted in beautifully with our whole family. He was friendly, respectful, and genuinely great to have around. His outlook on life is inspiring—always positive, happy, and grateful—which made him a pleasure to host. We honestly couldn’t rate him more highly. If Gian applies to stay with you, I would absolutely recommend welcoming him. He’s a fantastic Workaway and any host would be lucky to have him.

Haruka, Kouichi and Kotaro, From the first day Julie and I felt so welcome. It was an absolute joy working in the fields with Kouichi-san. We worked hard and laughed harder. Haruka-san the love and pride you take in your home and family is so clear. Thank you for sharing your stories, warmth and incredible cooking with us. Both of your dedication to community and natural living is very inspiring. Spending time with Kouichi, Haruka and Kotaro was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Truly unforgettable 🫶 Good luck in the growing season! MABUSHI 🤩

I stayed with Bettina for 8 days. She is a sweet and gentle woman and very busy. I only saw her in the evening when she came back from work and a bit in the weekend. She lives in a great old house with a nice garden, and there are always things to be done. Nambour has a lot of nice places around and the beach not too far away. Unfortunately the weather was very bad - raining for days - and that made everything a bit heavy. Thank you Bettina for your kindness, nice food and wine. Hope to see you again.

Volunteering here was an absolutely amazing experience. I love how Marcus, founder and principal, set it up to be a cultural exchange between volunteers, students, and teachers. I really felt a part of the school and I have never saw a better group of teachers and students. All the other volunteers I worked beside were kind and thoughtful. I really appreciate how you had a careful balance between autonomy and guidance. I look forward to returning to see how the students and teachers progress!

A beautiful young man. Helped us heaps honestly.happy person always had a smile on hes face.i would have him back any time. Be kind to him

Lishan is one of the best Workawayers we have ever hosted, and we feel incredibly blessed to have had her with us. She truly goes out of her way to understand the needs of the hostel and contributes wherever she can. What stands out most is that she is here not as a tourist, but as a traveler who genuinely wants to understand the local way of life. Lishan is extremely capable and communicates very effectively. She takes the time to appreciate the people she works with, and her kindness is felt by everyone around her. Both our guests and our team have been very happy to have her here. Coming from a first-world country, she still goes above and beyond to make herself useful in every way possible — whether it is helping with tech work, housekeeping, hosting guests, or even setting up excursions. She contributes wholeheartedly to everything she does. She has such a kind heart and is truly a gem. Anyone who has the chance to host her in the future will be very lucky.

Estelle and her partner Victor were excellent WorkAwayers: they were extremely friendly, treated the apartment entrusted to them with care and worked diligently to support me in the seasonal work in the olive grove. They were always open and interested in the background to olive cultivation. I would be delighted to welcome them back to the south of the Peloponnese.

Beaconsfield Ashram was a truly special place to start my journey in Australia. The amount of karma yoga is fair and absolutely loved picking the mulberries everyday for the kitchen! The programs are informative and the ashram is a great space to grow as a person

I had a really lovely experience at this farm working among strangers that turned to friends by the end of the week. The work is busiest during early hours, from 6:30 am however everyone is free to choose their schedule. There are mosquitoes so carry repellent or nets,I personally had issues with the lunch ladies due to miscommunication and language barrier but the rest of the people are welcoming and lively . It felt like working and living in a hostel! Mukunth is the go to guy for everything and Mayoor is the owner , and a person of varied interests! I also got invited to an incredible 30 course vegan lunch and a non vegetarian dinner at the owner's childhood home and it felt warm and so beautiful to be a part of their culture even for a short while. This is one place you ought not to miss.

We had a fantastic time at Rupert's camp in Nata. We loved helping to give the guests the best stay possible, cooking breakfasts and dinners and checking people in and out. We also loved doing some DIY projects building a chair and bedside table alongside day to day camp DIY. The camp is so great and we felt relaxed and comfortable the whole time. Thank you Rupert. Hope to come by again.

It was great to meet Catarina in my homestay. She is a wonderful person very active very organized and funny. She always having great time with us. She was taking care of my homestay while I was busy. I really recommended for hosts!!! Thank you very much Catarina for your all attention and great time😍🙏🏽. I hope you really enjoyed Alleppey Backwaters and Alleppey beach and all our company. Hope to see you somewhere else in the Planet,😄

I stayed a few days with Simi, and she is such a lovely person with great energy❣️ She has attention to detail, keeps a very clean and tidy home, and has deep knowledge of holistic health and music! It was truly interesting to get to know her better and spend time together. I enjoyed excellent food every day — healthy, balanced, and prepared with care. I supported her with organisational tasks during my stay.

Aimee & Luke are an amazing couple, we have been hosting for nearly 3 years and had many great folks volunteer on our hobby farm… but Luke & Aimee were the best we have had. They were great company, we had many interesting & broad ranging conversations and laughed a lot. They got on really well with our other volunteers and family aged from 21 to 60. They cooked some really delicious meals for us and appreciatively ate what what was prepared for them On a work front they have an impressive work ethic and have a broad range of skills and talents, which we put to good use on projects that required creative problem solving skills. They were particularly good with our animals and very responsible and caring. We can't recommend them highly enough, and would love to see them return. If you get a chance to host them, grab it with both hands.

Jacinda and Jason were the best Workaway hosts ever. I can't even put into words how impactful this experience was to me! Jacinda and Jason's kids are so sweet, and their extensive extended family were all wonderful. They all welcomed me with open arms to tons of family, community, and invaluable cultural events at the marae that Jacinda and Jason work at. I learned so much about Maori culture and the history of the land in Motueka and the Golden Bay. If you have the opportunity, please spend time with this lovely family!
