OMG ! Ffi & Marc ! We're already missing you guys and it will last until you're back ! It was a pleasure to have them in our team/family for few weeks ! Unfortunately it was too short, we would like them to stay so much longer ! Ffi&Marc are, by far, the friendliest and most social volunteers we had here ! Always smiling, always giving a super warm welcoming to new guests and volunteers. You can feel that they don't force nothing about it, they are really a couple full of kindness ! About the work, they're super fast learner which is our main expectation ! They allowed us to relax and be 100% confident during their shifts ! They know how to run a hostel for sure ! And they are super social, it is obvious ! They're really good to connect with people and federate gangs for activities together ! Obviously they'll always be welcome back here, they found a home away from home but we found new family's members for real ! To others hosts : Go for Marc&Ffi without any doubts ! You'll love them ! We love you ! Please come back as soon as possible !

I had a fantastic time here. The work schedule was really well communicated, Cami, Carlos and all of the staff were really welcoming, and the place itself is beautiful! I really enjoyed the language exchange activity they host as well. Thanks so much, you made a great experience for me & the other volunteers :)

Ghadeer was a wonderful volunteer! She was helpful, kind, and a positive presence in our home. She was eager to learn and a quick helper with all the tasks we gave her. We wish her all the best in her future travels and would welcome her back anytime!

My 2 months at Qué Más with Chris have been truly amazing. He really is a chill guy and we came along very good. It was easy to find a good balance between working (on different projects, developing and learning new skills), as well as having much time to develop and work on myself. Also it was amazing to see the already nice place become better poco a poco. He encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone every once in a while, and I can recommend the place for everybody that is open to do a variety of tasks, while having the freedom to have some hours everyday to work on oneself. It was an amazing time where Chris made it hard to find open wishes that couldn’t be transformed into reality.

Christina is a lovely guest! very much i enjoyed to share some space and time with her. she is very helpful, creative, has ideas into MANY directions, is responsible for the most beautiful fridge on the island (that she painted), made a very good job in the garden: stone decoration and planting, even she did the most dirty work (.......) that i do not ask the ladies to do, but she did it without been asked before i started to think about it ( i confess that i may be late sometimes). she showed me some of her art that consists of several sub genres! i found it quite amazing- so if anybody is looking for a super talented artist- that's her!!!

Eri is so kind and calm, such a nice person to have around. Eri was supposed to stay with me for a week but ended up staying for a month, and I enjoyed it so much and my two cats loved her too. We had good conversations, spend a lot of time together doing different tasks, watching films, cooking and cleaning - just normal every day life. My home feels very empty now that Eri has left. Thank you Eri, I wish to see you again soon! :)

we really enjoyed the company of this couple. It was a joy to have them around. We hardly had to ask them doing things, they had already seen it and started doing it, although the weather was very inclement. They were with us for 10 days together with other helpers and it for made a very harmonious and pleasant time and at the same time we got a whole lot done. At the end we were sorry to see them go, wishing them both the best for their future life and travels.

We spent three weeks with Fabienne and Kabire. During that time, we mainly worked in the garden but also took on a couple of tasks in the house. Fabienne and Kabire are very nice and friendly people with whom we had great conversations and were able to exchange about our cultures. We had a wonderful time and wish them both all the best.

This is such a beautiful place, exceeded my expectations! I was taking Spanish classes and my volunteer hours were for photography. I stayed for 2 weeks. This photo volunteer program is really self guided in terms of how you spend your hours, there is no strict schedule, but working around my Spanish classes, and the many activities run here, I found this system worked well for me. The 1 on 1 Spanish classes are so good. A really refreshing and engaging style of teaching, I was able to learn more grammar but also have conversations about topics i'm actually interested in. All the teachers are great and bring their own personality and flavor to the classes. The owners Jesse & Carlos are super super sweet people, dedicated to making this place and the experience for students/volunteers/guests as easy and comfortable as possible. All the staff here are so lovely, always willing to help or answer questions. The food in the restaurant is really tasty, but I did find that for me, the portions were a little small. I adjusted to this after the first week, and also bought myself some snacks to supplement. I swam in the river every day, did my own yoga, walked around the local area and thoroughly enjoyed my free time here. One thing to note, depending on what room you are placed in, you may not have access to a hot shower. If I needed it, I just asked one of the Volunteers in another room if I could use their hot shower, no problem. Would highly recommend!

I honestly don't know where to start. My boyfriend and I left another Workaway in Thailand after having a bit of a bad experience and took a risk on an expensive flight to Chiang Rai to volunteer at a hostel. Two weeks later and we are crying on the next leg of our travels, wishing we could have stayed for longer! We are already planning our trip back. This hostel is amazing. If you're lucky enough to get a volunteering spot here, go! Some things I love about the hostel: 1. The chill, social vibe. You're on shift for 5 hours, either morning, afternoon or evening. You actually work for about two hours (hanging up laundry, check ins, emptying trash, making beds and checking soap / shampoo supplies, organising day trips) and then the other three you're just chilling, chatting in the garden getting to know people from all over the world! 2. OMG the beds! They are SO comfortable, the sheets are so soft and the volunteer dorm is so clean, has lockers, shelves and privacy curtains. It's so cozy. Perfect place to escape if you need to recharge your social battery for a bit! 3. The evening activities! Every night it's some form of game or activity or trip to the reggae bar (but never pressure to drink). I was laughing every night and always getting to know new people. My favourite was definitely the social bingo! Most of all, we had the most magical experience. The "social but not party" vibe is perfect and hits the best balance. We met people from Iceland to Venezuela, saw so much of Chiang Rai, and even watched the sunrise on a mountain looking over Laos. The guests, other volunteers, V and Kanoon (and of course Natthida, Luma and Lucy) are really what make the place what it is. I feel like I have a home away from home, where I will be welcomed with open arms, always. I am so grateful for this amazing experience. Thank you guys, we will see you again ❤️

Charles came with his friend Guillaume, they were fantastic! Having studied civil engineering, they fitted exactly into what we had to do with knowledge and ability. Among several other jobs, we put up a small solar pannel system on a bank below the house and built a small technical room out of concrete blocks. They were excellent helpers, very motivated, good company, very social and we had a lot of fun with them, discussing and playing games. Charles speaks very good english and is a very good cook, they produced some very delicious french meals. They stayed 3 weeks and we were very sorry to see them leave.

Alessandro is an incredibly warm and likeable person — versatile, curious, and gifted, someone with whom it would never get boring. He is wonderfully easy-going and was absolutely kind and responsible with the horses as well. It was truly beautiful having you here, Alessandro, and you are welcome back anytime. We hope life lets us meet at least twice!

Thank you so much for accepting me Erika:) It was a great experience for me to live with you! Erika told me not only for Finnish culture but also how to live in Finland. I really like you made eye contact with me when I got up! I never forget you and let me know when you come to Japan feel free!:)

The olive harvest here was an immersion in an authentic and supportive community environment, where we all shared both hard work and laughter, culminating in an exceptional quality extra virgin olive oil 🫒✨. Giovanni excels in organisation and leadership, skilfully managing relationships and wisely delegating according to each person's abilities. The trust he placed in me by assigning key tasks – not always delegated to others – made me feel an integral part of this winning team, an unforgettable experience! 🙌🌿

In this shelter, I've found a family of people ❤️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 who, with love and passion 🐕💕, devote themselves to the dogs with unique professionalism 🏆.The ability to coordinate and organise the work between experienced and new volunteers is truly admirable 🤝✨, as is the foresight in recognising each person's skills to assign the most suitable tasks 🎯👏.Laia and Oli embody authentic leadership 🌟👩‍💼👩‍💼, capable of listening 👂, motivating 💪, and inspiring 🌈, ensuring every dog receives the attention it deserves 🐶❤️ and every volunteer feels valued and part of this wonderful mission 🐾🙌.Thank you for giving me this profoundly human and greatly responsible experience 🙏✨🐕.

It was an absolute pleasure having Charles with us for almost 7 weeks. He was a great worker getting stuck in to a wide variety of tasks, wood processing, plastering, painting, woodwork etc all with a willing attitude. He was easy going and a great addition to the team socially, making us laugh and sharing music! He was also wonderful with our 8 month old baby keeping an eye on her at mealtimes and playing with her. It was great to have you with is Charles! Good luck with your next steps ✨

Martje and Malte volunteered with us at the school for one month, teaching German to our students. From the first day, they were reliable, punctual, and very well-prepared for their lessons. They quickly built a positive rapport with learners of different ages and levels, creating a friendly and motivating classroom atmosphere. Their classes were dynamic and engaging, combining clear explanations with practical activities, games, and real-life communication tasks. They adapted well to our context, were open to feedback, and showed real commitment to helping our students improve their German. Outside class time, they were always respectful, easy to communicate with, and integrated very smoothly into the daily life of the center. We are very grateful for their contribution and would gladly host them again. I fully recommend Martje and Malte to any future host looking for responsible, kind, and dedicated volunteers, especially for language teaching projects.

Mathilde has been a lovely presence on the farm. She’s kind, easy to work with, and always willing to help with whatever needs doing. On top of that, she’s a great singer! She’s been a joy to host, and we’d happily welcome her back anytime!

Laila was a wonderful addition to our team. She helped us on the farm and quickly became someone everyone enjoyed having around. Being trilingual, she was able to communicate with just about everyone here, which made collaboration so much easier and more fun. She’s kind, easygoing, and brought a really warm energy to the group. We’d be happy to welcome her back anytime!

Rachel has been wonderful to have here. She’s been helping on the farm and taking Spanish classes at our school, and she’s incredibly kind to everyone around her. She brings such a positive energy to the space. We’d be happy to have her back anytime she wants to return!
