My stay was the best! I was supposed to stay 1 month and I ended staying 2 months 😅! The place is very peaceful surrended by nature, beautiful animals and humans. I learned to much about natural horsemanship thanks to Saita. The poneys are awesome! All of them have they one personality and it's so rewarding to see them getting more trustfull towards you, with time. My job was to take care of the poneys: - feeding, grooming, bringing them to the paddock, ground training The other part of the job was to sometimes give some support to the staff with the clients of the hostel. As they don't speak a very good english it's helpful for them if as a volunteer we can facilitate the communication. Saita is a very generous and patient person, always kind to transmit her knowledge and make you feel at home. She is a pretty busy women so she needs people who are able to work in autonomy and take initiatives. I recommend the place 200%! I hope I will have the opportunity to see again !

Our experience was wonderful and positive! The work wasn't too hard, and the natural surroundings were fantastic. We learned so much about plants and Tayrona culture, and what we enjoyed most was the cultural exchange with the Kogi community. The atmosphere with the staff was also relaxed and friendly. It's a very peaceful place to relax, enjoy the river right there, and in the afternoons, if you're up for it, you can also explore the area, which has many beautiful things to offer! We highly recommend it to anyone who wants to spend a few days in a place that's so much more than just a hostel!

Rouven was an amazing volunteer! He was always kind and respectful, and made a great addition to our community. He was also SO helpful in upgrading, fixing and installing different electrical systems which was a HUGE help. I would highly recommend him for any Workaway needs. Rouven, please come back and visit us again soon!

Maxence and Jeanne were the most fabulous couple in every way. We loved welcoming them into our family on their honeymoon. We were SO sad they were on such a tight schedule and we only got to enjoy them for a week yet we feel we have known them for much longer. They are intelligent, fun, helpful, respectful, tidy......and more. They were so interested in the farm and helped with drought feeding, cleaning troughs and anything else that needed doing. The set up our new Robot mower and vac/mop. They helped with meal preparation and some spring cleaning. Absolutely threw themselves into anything that needed help with We cannot recommend Maxence and Jeanne too highly and miss their company!

I had such an amazing time staying with Jane in Greece! it was my first wok away experience so I was not sure what to exepect, but Jane was so welcoming and very kind. the work was enjoyable, helping pick olives and some garden work. the island is so beautiful and one of my favourite places I have ever been. I only stayed one week but I wish I could of stayed longer!! I would recommend this Workaway with Jane to everyone!

This was my first Workaway, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for more from the experience. Miguel is one of the kindest and most caring people I’ve ever met, always going out of his way to make you feel welcome. From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The hacienda is absolutely gorgeous, and the work was fun, varied, and filled with plenty of laughs. Miguel truly integrates you into his life through time spent with his family and friends, which is an amazing way to meet people and improve your Spanish! Caring for and riding the beautiful horses is an experience I will never forget. Miguel made sure to teach us everything he could, from saddling and riding, to cleaning, caring and training the horses. The animals at the hacienda are all stunning — especially Tyler! Overall, this was an incredible Workaway with so much to offer. Thank you so much again, Miguel, for the unforgettable experience and memories. Until next time, my friend! 💙

We spent the pre-season in Madarao with Dan and Andy, and it was such a special and rewarding experience! Communication with them was extremely easy from the start, and they really want you to have a great stay: Dan even helped me (Héloïse) getting started driving on the left side of the road. We had a very comfortable studio and free use of a car, which was amazing to explore the area (Togakushi, Nozawa Onsen, Lake Nojiri). Dan and Andy are very fair about working hours, pay, and days off. They are flexible and always open to feedback. We did various tasks getting the properties ready for the winter season: sanding, deep cleaning, painting, general DIY, organizing, and even sewing! It was a real pleasure to work for them and we can’t recommend this workaway enough. Dan and Andy, thank you so much for your kindness, and we hope the winter season is and will be incredible!

We spent three weeks and a half at Midori-san’s in January, and we had an amazing time at her house in the countryside. Even though it’s a bit remote, the bikes make it easy to get around. We were able to go to local New Year’s celebrations (Noh theatre and Iwami Kagura) and one of her friends drove us to a beautiful onsen. We were lucky to experiment a wide range of activities: calligraphy, glass art, chashaku making, and kendo. Being able to play the piano was a huge bonus. Midori-san is always ready to put some time aside to share her interests and knowledge, and if you commit to learning, you’ll really reap the benefits! This was the case with Japanese lessons, tea ceremony, yoga, and Japanese cooking. We did various jobs around the house and the garden, and the working hours were very fair. We would recommend this workaway to anyone who wants a peaceful stay and to discover Japanese culture. Thank you for everything Midori-san!

What a chance we had to find this wonderful place ! Linda and Andy are the best ! Our time there was so nice that we extended it, and would have stayed even more if we didn't have something else already planned ! They really took extreme care of us, and make sure we felt good, listening to our needs, involving us in interesting tasks, cooking us delicious food! They also made us discovers the surroundings : Deloraine, some of their friends... We had so much fun with them around card games, sharing travel stories and listening to music ! There place is an amazing project ! A little heaven ! They have huge knowledges in landscape design, we learned a lot with them! It was really a pleasure to work with them, they are sharing a big positive vibe ! We loved our cabin, it was so confortable with 5star view ! It was hard to leave them, we felt with family here and we can't wait to see them again !

I loved staying with Carmen and the doggies! I knew exactly what my duties were and did my best to fulfill them.

I spent three incredible months with Patrick and Emilia, and it was without a doubt one of the best experiences of my life. I don’t have enough words to describe everything I experienced during this time. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed as part of the family. Their house in Toronto is very well located, making it easy to do almost everything on foot or by public transportation, which gave me a lot of freedom to explore the city and truly enjoy life in Toronto. I had plenty of free time to visit, discover new places, and make the most of my experience there. The time spent at the cottage was completely different but just as special. It’s an incredibly peaceful and relaxing place, perfect for disconnecting from daily life. We spent a lot of time hiking with the dogs, enjoying nature, and slowing down, which made the experience even more meaningful and balanced. Thanks to Patrick and Emilia, I was able to see and experience things I had never seen in my life before, and every moment felt truly special. Patrick and Emilia are kind, caring, and wonderful people. The tasks they asked me to do were simple, enjoyable, and very reasonable, offering a perfect balance between helping and having personal time. We also cooked a lot together and shared genuine moments of connection, laughter, and warmth. And what can I say about Bigsley and Bando… they are incredibly loving, affectionate, and attached dogs who absolutely adore humans. They give so much love every single day and are honestly way too cute. They became such an important part of my daily life, and I am going to miss them so much. I’m leaving with unforgettable memories, so much gratitude, and the feeling of having lived a unique and deeply enriching human experience. I honestly don’t know how to thank Patrick and Emilia enough for their generosity, trust, and for everything they shared with me. I would recommend their Workaway without hesitation to anyone looking for a meaningful, balanced, and unforgettable experience.

Alex is very passionate about preserving this jungle space and has an immense respect for nature. His simple way of living and maintaining balance between both sides of the world is very inspiring. He was very kind to cater my need of vegetarian food. He has great travel and off grid living stories. I cherish the time I spent talking to him about almost everything. Also, he is very open for new ideas and welcomes all kinds of creativity and art work. He doesn't boss around. I felt right at home. I look forward to coming back and contributing more to the project. I wish all the good things for him. May the jungle be always protected and embrace its children

Kelsey is simply the best. We have been doing workaway for about 10 years and she is in our top 4 of all time. She is smart, hard working, loyal, considerate, capable, fun, cool, and makes great decisions. She is a leader and is 100% reliable. We are happy to share her with the world but will miss her greatly.

Tiziana ended up housesitting for me as I was going to be away on the dates she wanted to stay. She did a really wonderful job of caring for my 3 cats and some silkworms for about a week and kept me updated on how they were going. I highly recommend her as she is easy going and took great care of my home and pets.

I spend here, 6,5 weeks (November-January). Do you know the meaning of the word: anticipatory nostalgia? -is that bittersweet feeling of missing the present moment even as it's happening, because you know it will soon become a cherished memory- This is what especially the last week felt like! Just knowing how much I will miss the magic of this place while still living in it; hopping kangaroos in the living room, wombats joining the feeding at 5 outside, colourfull parrots flying around, giving bottles to the kangaroos, having a sleeping kangaroo on top of you, living in the woods, with people that feel like a big family! Manfred, the host, is such an amazing person!!! Always open to teach you something and laugh! He is extremely kind and he made this entire incredible experience even better!!! Beside the typical day of cleaning enclosures, desinfecting water and feeding bowls, giving bottles, making milk, laundry, giving medicine, cleaning the bottles etc. I also got to join a couple of rescue missions! This was sometimes intense, and hard, but also so rewarding and so special to witness!!! My favourite memories were the evenings, they were most of the time spend socially! People that feel like a family sitting around the table while a snoring kangaroo named Chicane is sleeping on the couch, and Kevlar having the zoomies, while Pecker is sucking someone's finger, while Rizzo wants to play with someone and Sparks is just chilling somewhere... And around 21:30 (9:30PM) is another bottle feeding time, the noises they make while enoying their milk is also just magical! And after enjoying their bottles, they often wash their nose, which is so cute and incredible to see too!!! If you are thinking about coming, or think it is too good to be true, it is as amazing as it sounds, maybe even better somehow!!! Do it, you will not regret it! And enjoy every single second because time will literally hop by!!! These 6 weeks, I will cherish forever!!! And I will make more weeks here, that I will cherish forever, because I will come back next month and the month after that!

I had a wonderful two weeks with Rachel and David on the farm. They were great hosts—we cooked together, shared music, and exchanged lots of stories. We went on trips to waterfalls and to Nimbin, had dinner with friends, went swimming, and spent many fun evenings at the Tavern. I truly felt at home there <3

What an incredible property and experience at Tuei and Tim's place out in the woods near El Bolsón! There are so many different projects on the go and Tim is always super supportive in letting you choose the tasks that are a good fit for you. He's also encouraging about sharing ideas and brainstorming possible solutions together. I also really liked that he gives volunteers lots of autonomy during the day to switch between tasks when necessary to keep things interesting and give your body a break from challenging physical tasks. He's also very flexible about how you complete your hours during working days which is super helpful for pacing and planning. Tim and Tuei are both super kind, fun, down to earth, generous, and all around lovely human beings to hang out with. Tim is also a really great cook and I will remember those amazing shared meals very fondly. I also really loved the other volunteers I met during my time there and miss them already. The time went by way too fast! I highly recommend volunteering here and I would love to come back again sometime. Thank you Tim and Tuei for such an incredible week!

What a great time I had at Charlie’s Hostel! There’s really nothing left to praise that hasn’t already been said in the comments. It’s simply amazing to stay in this small town with such an incredible wave. Charlie is friendly, appreciative and funny, and he places a lot of trust in you. Thanks, Charlie, for having me!

Me quedé 10 días en este hostel familiar y tuve una experiencia maravillosa. Mi tiempo de trabajo se distribuía generalmente a lo largo de la semana de la siguiente manera: de lunes a jueves, ayudaba en el albergue, y de viernes a domingo, en la recepción. Gracias a toda la familia (extendida) que me recibió con los brazos abiertos. Pude vivir una auténtica Navidad con una familia boliviana. Tengo que destacar que la comida que preparan Cande o Mercedes siempre es increíble, equilibrada y con muchos colores. La familia es muy sociable, lo que siempre es agradable para discutir múltiples temas en la mesa. Además, la vida en Samaipata es tranquila, y hay muchas rutas de senderismo para hacer en los alrededores durante los días libres, incluyendo la que lleva al mirador del pueblo. ¡Si pudiera, volvería sin dudarlo! :)

We had such an amazing time with Chris and Derek! We couldn’t ask for a more lovely experience than the one we had. They are so welcoming, friendly, and kind. Chris was so sweet, and we loved Derek’s jokes. We truly enjoyed every moment. The tasks were simple and clearly explained, and they always took good care of us. Learning about local life, experiencing a different culture, and sharing beautiful bush walks, BBQs, meals, ice cream, and so many more memories were all so special to us. These are experiences we have never had before in our lives. If you are reading this review now and thinking about staying with them, we highly recommend it! We truly appreciate everything they did for us, and we love them,Chris and Derek, their friendly dogs (Surge & Clio), and their lovely horses (Moki & Tiga)! We wish Chris and Derek all the best in the future!
