We spent almost 10 days with Ervin and his family. From the beginning they clearly communticated everything and the work was organised good and fair. Our main task was sanding and painting the fence and two small doors- so not too difficult :) The area there is pretty nice where there is a lot to discover (beaches, waterfalls or cute villages) Unfortunately, public transport barely exists but luckily they provided us a car (and bikes) to discover the local area. The holiday apartment which was given us was comfortable. Ervin and his family were always open for chatting and Puma (the cat) was always open to receive cuddles. We both can really recommend this place- nice people, the beach closeby, easy work and nice accommodation. Just make sure to have a car/ driver's licence and that you are able to handle the kinda old car. Wish you all the best and hope to see you again!

I stayed for three weeks at this workaway, I believe it is the most I have learned over such a short time period in my whole life. The team are fantastic, despite regular having volunteers come and go, they are always happy to talk about their experiences and knowledge of the reality faced by asylum seekers in France. Jed especially is an inspiration, who has gone out of his way to learn Kurdish to better communicate and support the people passing through. Every organisation supports asylum seekers slightly differently, but I really respected the teams humanistic approach to their work, on days where we had time we would chat and occasionally play dice with people in camp. The place even had some long standing relationships with members of the community who stayed their permanently, individuals who would support the team by bridging language gaps and providing extra support (and even invited us to their delicious pop up restaurant once). The volunteering team was also lovely, a great bunch of people, some of who Ive stayed friends with even after leaving. Thank you so much for providing me with the opportunity to provide this important support, the experience has deeply shaped my world view, and your committed team has inspired me to continue working with asylum seekers back in my own country - I wish you all the best in the future

Es un hostal enorme y muy bien ubicado. El personal es excelente, muy amable, especialmente Paulo en recepción y Navis en el servicio de limpieza. Fue una experiencia enriquecedora para mi primer voluntariado. Me motiva apoyar futuras iniciativas y quizás incluso volver a ser voluntario.

We had the honor and pleasure to host Birgit & Joni for 3 weeks. From the first video call on, we were excited to meet them as they are also food lovers like us :-) They were both independently working on the entrance pathway to our guest area - we just had to check-in shortly each morning, but otherwise they worked on it on their own, which was a great help! They treated the work and our home like it was actually theirs. You could see and feel that they care about what they are doing and wanted to make it perfect. (It is actually now looking perfect!) We had such a great time together, unbelievable that 3 weeks passed by so quickly. The weeks were full of love, laughter and food, of course! :-) They felt like they belong to family. We already miss them. Hope to see them soon again!

I had a pleasant stay with Lina's team. The students are sweet; mostly there are kids and teens, all very polite and lovable. Staying in the institute is convenient and comfortable; you have your own room and bathroom, and you don't even have to walk to work. Yopal itself is a very pleasant, safe, and peaceful place, surrounded by beautiful nature. There is a vivid nightlife, and you can always find something to do. We were offered a Colombian dish every day by our hosts, and could participate in some truly fun activities. I got to know amazing people here, both in the institute and the local elementary school, and made long-lasting friendships. Thank you, Lina, for the experience!

This was our first Workaway and we couldn’t have wished for a better experience! Anna and Dominik were so welcoming and amazing hosts. We very much enjoyed the work we did and learnt a lot about mushroom foraging, making preserves and growing your own produce. Both Anna and Dominik made delicious Polish homemade meals and we enjoyed helping out in the kitchen cooking together. We felt more than Workaway helpers, they made us feel like family friends. We had lots of great conversations at the table and enjoyed eating our meals together outside in the sunshine. Dominik took us on a lovely bike ride around the village and on the weekend we took a trip to Kielce to do some exploring. We sat around a camp fire together, and they have the friendliest pets! We felt very trusted with their home and responsibilities which was lovely. Anna set us a few daily tasks we can work through the day, which varied so it always allowed us to do something different everytime. She also allowed us to take breaks when we would like. It has been so amazing to meet you both, thank you for teaching us so much we will always remember you and your lovely home! Best wishes, Izzie and Julia

Johnathan's school is a highly professional, well-organized institute with students of all ages. It was a pleasure to get to know all of them and learn about their plans, dreams, and passions. I loved to participate in the filming sessions: the school has outstanding marketing, in which it's a lot of fun to take part. Johnathan did everything in his power to make me feel welcome: the provided accommodation was comfortable with the right amount of privacy, perfect for a longer stay. Manta itself offers you jaw-dropping and relaxing beaches, tasteful food, and friendly people. I will miss my students and the team, but hopefully we will meet again in the future.

We had a wonderful experience hosting Amitay, Dana, Maya, and Tom. Tom and Maya were very kind children, and our son Adrin always misses them. All of them were extremely hardworking, always ready to help with any task. They supported us in harvesting, planting, cooking, and every part of farm work with great energy and positivity. We truly recommend them to any host and would be very happy to welcome them back again in the future.

We (Jesse and Titus and our toddler Gabriel) had such a brilliant time staying with Sarah, Henry, Sam and Leo. From the moment we arrived they made us feel at home, so warm, welcoming and easy to be around. We slotted into family life straight away and had so much fun together. The work was perfect for us. Both of us got to do things that suited our skills, and it felt really good to get things finished and feel appreciated for it. The balance between us worked really well and we genuinely felt valued. They were so generous too, treating us to food out, making sure we had everything we needed, and giving us the cosiest caravan to stay in (with a heater for the colder Asturian autumn evenings!). They also offered us to have to a bedroom in the house too if we needed. They introduced us to their lovely friends and neighbours, which made us feel even more part of things. The boys are wonderful, polite, sweet and so kind playing with our toddler, and the animals were a joy to be around. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and we’ll definitely be staying in touch with this amazing family. 100% recommend Sarah and Henry to other Workawayers!

I spent 10 days at Arnaud’s chapel, sleeping in a cozy caravan and spending my time with him and other workawayers, surrounded by a beautiful countryside and curious cows (and brambles of course!). It’s still incredible for me how welcoming and nice Arnaud is, he lives there by himself but somehow he was able to create a sense of community and sharing. He’s very sensitive and able to understand other people needs. During the time I spent at la chapelle, we cut trees, made jam, talked about life, literature or silly things, sewed curtains, released dormice, lived the social life of Aubigny and also had some walks! He always take care that the food is enough and the work not too much : ) I’m deeply impressed by his ability to be that open, human and kind with people, probably thanks to all the different lives he lived. Thank you again Arnaud, for everything, it’s cool and heartwarming to meet people like you in rough times like these! See you soon and enjoy the winter : )

Eszter has been a wonderful volunteer at the English School. She brought a lot of positive energy to our classrooms and quickly connected with our students. Her speaking sessions were dynamic and engaging, helping learners build confidence while practicing real conversation. Beyond teaching, she showed great cultural openness and was always willing to support our team with kindness and professionalism. We truly appreciated her dedication and the cultural exchange she created with our community. We highly recommend Eszter to any future hosts, she will be a great asset wherever she goes!

I had an absolutely fantastic time with Gerard and Kate. They are both incredibly kind and welcoming, and I felt at home right away. The work was easy and well balanced, and the exchange was more than fair. We also did a lot of fun activities together, including a great boat trip, and Kate showed me around the area, which made the experience even better. The food Kate cooked was always delicious and such a treat to enjoy. It was also really nice to join the garden gigs and Gerard’s gigs in town, which added something special to the stay. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend Gerard and Kate to any Workawayer.

Paul was a volunteer with me for just 10 days but I found him a very well mannered, helpful guy with excellent English. He was well able to work away on his own and I found him 100% trust worthy. As he is studying art and keen sketcher in pencil he drew a wonderful picture of my dog Polly which I am delighted with a look foward to framing, he always made some delicious pasta dishes. I wish you well Paul with your next host and in completing your studies. Thanks

El tiempo con Hugo fue genial, se adaptó súper bien las 5 semanas que estuvo con los diferentes voluntarios que llegaron, tiene habilidades con carpintería y trabaja bien en comunidad y en equipo! Gracias huguito!

We stayed with Lydia and Rupert when we first arrived in Ireland and couldn't have been more welcomed. Every task they needed done they explained very thoroughly, and it was the perfect mix of work and free time. Lydia always made the yummiest food and gave us great recommendations on what to do in the area and in Ireland in general. Lydia and her lovely family have helped us out so much and we couldn't thank her enough!

Dear Marielle & Helena, Reading your review brought such big smiles to our faces — and yes, maybe even a little tear or two. It was truly a joy to host you both, and honestly, we often said to each other: "If only they were our adopted daughters for real!" You're the kind of guests every host dreams of: cheerful, respectful, hard-working, and full of warmth and humour. From the very first day, you fit in so naturally with our world here. Your help around the domain — from weeding and gardening to cleaning rooms and living spaces with attention to detail and initiative — was deeply appreciated. But even more than that, your kindness, curiosity and gentle energy brought life to every corner of the place. We loved sharing stories and meals around the table, and seeing your joy in the simple things — fresh vegetables from the garden, croissants, a good laugh, a quiet evening in the countryside — reminded us why we love what we do. You also reminded us how beautiful this place can be through fresh eyes. And while you say you felt at home here — we want you to know that you truly were home here. You made this house feel lighter, warmer, and more alive — and we missed you the moment you left. You're welcome back anytime — not just as helpers, but as honorary family. We wish you all the very best for what comes next. May your journey stay full of adventure, beauty, and connections as genuine as the one we shared. With all our gratitude, Marika

To say this has been an incredible experience would be an understatement. To stay with Alexander was one of the best experiences of my life. My work consisted of some gardening, but mainly collaborative work brainstorming with Alexander and helping her use canva and some social media coaching. From getting to spend time on the most breathtaking property, to the most delicious food fresh from the farm, to truly enjoying my work with Alexandra - this was an absolute dream. Alexandra and her family are so warm and welcoming, and truly made me feel at home. I could not recommend this highly enough.

Tom is a great helper and a great person in general. Curious, appreciative and enthusiastic about everything he does, reliable and hard working. Digging holes for fence posts, cleaning up piles of goat poo, cutting firewood with a large circular saw, cutting the grass with weed-eater. We had good conversations together, he is also patient and good with kids - our 2yo loved him so much! He felt like he really wants to be here, meet other people, discover the countryside, learn and try anything. He is a humble guest, always willing to help and nothing is a problem for him. So happy for the opportunity to have him around.

Hello, I spent three weeks there and I had a wonderful time. It is a nice and quiet place and if you can be on your own and like hiking and fishing it is the place to be for you. Ole and Siggi are very nice hosts. I did a lot of painting and gardening work and it was very varied. In your freetime you can go hiking or blueberry picking. It was my first workaway experience and I am very happy that I came there.
