Rocío and myself ended up joining Rosa's project quite unexpectedly, and it was undoubtedly the best thing that could have happened to us. Rosa is an incredible host, with so many exciting projects that it seems there's always something to do and something to learn. It's been an amazing two weeks where we've done a lot of climbing in the area, as well as meeting many of Rosa's friends, all of whom have hearts of gold and lives straight out of a movie. By the way, i don´t know how but they all cook like five stars chefs! One hundred percent recommended; plus, if you're lucky, you might even get to take home your own olives to season them ;)

So much fun with horses and doggies, as well with all the people! I had lovely time with Monica in Trilla, learned so much, and the shared stories are unforgettable! Thank you life long friend ❤️

I had an amazing time working and living here! I only wish I could have stayed longer :) Teton Village is beautiful, close to national parks and hiking trails, and everyone I met was so kind. The work was also very organized and there were always managers available if you had any questions. Thanks for having me!

Cinco estrellas es poco , creo que se merecen todas las estrellas , fueron de una gran ayuda en este tiempo de inicio del verano, tanto Liciane como Gregori tienen muchas habilidades y cualidades que las pusieron al servicio de la huerta de. Un modo amable, y eficiente, todos los que los conocieron quedaron muy encantados.

Martha from the UK stayed with us and she was an absolute pleasure to host. She is well-behaved, has good manners, and is naturally quiet and thoughtful. She loves reading and is very active, always helping with whatever she could. She respected our culture and never disturbed us in any way. As a native English speaker, she helped us improve our English, and we had many lovely and meaningful discussions. She really enjoyed our food, and we truly enjoyed having her with us. We would be very happy to welcome her again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, respectful, and helpful volunteer. We wish her all the best!

I stayed with Luka and Meta for 3 weeks and really had a great time! From the very first moment, they made me feel at home as they are both very friendly and welcoming :) The tasks I did weren’t too hard; e.g. I took care of their animals and cleaned the garden. As their farm is located in a beautiful and quiet landscape, there is always a nice view and a calm atmosphere. They also told me a lot about Slovenian culture, traditions, and everyday life, which was really interesting! I recommend this place to everyone who likes the countryside and wants to get to know real farm life :) Warm wishes, Tabea

Heike and Kees Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback. We truly enjoyed every moment of your three-week stay. It was a genuine pleasure to share our home, meals, and projects with you both. Your hardworking nature and consistently lovely attitude made everything more enjoyable and productive. From the olive harvest to painting, your contributions were made with such care and positivity. You both were independent, did the work on your own, and yet were connected in a pleasant way to the energies of the house and the surroundings. This is a quality that you don't find very often and that is enjoyable to experience. Please remember, there will always be an open door and a room for you here. We sincerely hope our paths cross again and would be delighted to welcome you back anytime. Warmest Wishes, Maria & Mathieu

Benja is the coolest! Not only because he is undertaking a huge and beautiful project, but also cause he's very welcoming, chill, respectful, and interesting to talk to. He also balances perfectly the amount of work and chill/free time in order not to rush. Even though the house is not yet completed, the hospitality has been already extraordinary! As for the project, the structural part of the house is mostly done, but lots of interesting works are of course still needed (he will tell you more about it). If you enjoy contact with nature and various types of DIY works (depending on your preference as well - Benja is very eager to know other's opinion and have their partecipation in his lifelong project), this is the place for you! A little disclaimer: the house is a worksite, completely safe for living, but still a worksite and a work-in-progress. You live and work within the forest in a house that is developing, so it is normal to not have all the comforts of your home. If you don't mind renouncing some modern commodities, then you will have a very good time :) Feel free to contact me for more details!

Denise and Pete have welcomed us on our arrival day in Perth. We found their welcoming incredibly warm and we could have not hoped for a better one after such a long journey from Europe to Australia. Their house is lovely, located near City Beach which is a very beautiful a calm area of Perth. We have been gardening and doing some cleaning around the house and the work has always felt fair and satisfying. They have helped us a lot settling down during our first days in Australia and have given us a lot of support and help, for which we feel truly grateful. Denise also has prepared delicious meals and cakes for us, she is such a great cook! Overall, a truly great experience. Thanks Denise and Pete and hope to see you again soon!

Staying at the Saroj place is a peaceful experience and the best way to connect and more understand the local culture. The family treated us so well, we could share moments around fire altogether, playing games... I would hardly recommend this place <3

We had an amazing stay with Pearse and Margo. They welcomed us so warmly right from the start and made us feel at home and included in the family straight away. They offered us lots of activities to do with them during our free time, like going to the sauna, meditating, seeing shows, or listening to traditional music in pubs… They are incredibly kind people! They even let us use a car so we could explore the area on weekends. We were really happy to help them out in their big garden in exchange for all their kindness and generosity. A message for future workawayers: don’t hesitate to stay with Pearse and Margo if you want to experience the true warmth of an Irish family. Hope to see you again soon ;) Paola and Benji

I stayed at Mori-san and Makiko-san’s house from Nov 15 to Dec 1🥺my first Workaway, and truly the best decision I made this year. Mori-san is the fairest employer I’ve ever met: we worked three hours a day, tasks matched each person’s ability, and everything was clearly explained. Even the furniture had labels, which helped a lot. I have ADHD and need more time to remember instructions, but I always try my best, and I really felt that Mori-san noticed this (even though he’ll joke “really?”). He was patient and truly respectful. I’m very scared of bears, so for outdoor work he always put me in a team of two with my amazing roommate Laeti — I appreciated that so much.🫶🏻 And future volunteers, don’t worry: no mountains golf course behind the bamboo forest = no bears at all. Mori-san understands mental health, sees everyone’s strengths, and even makes different desserts almost every day — if you work seriously and respect the house. When I said sushi was my favorite, he and Makiko-san took me for sushi on my last night, and I still get emotional thinking about it. And Makiko-san… my heroine, my goddess, my 神様 😆🤩 Always smiling, gentle, and full of love. She takes great care of the two senior dogs (please treat them softly) and always sees the good in people. I’ll never forget when she thanked Mori-san for driving and reminded us to say thank you — such a small moment but it meant a lot. The most precious thing here is that every effort is noticed and treated fairly. You are valued as a person WHO YOU ARE not just as labor. I wish happiness and health to both of you, to Utako-san, Father-san, and the friend who brought donuts and fish… and to Stray Kids and dogs and cats, but not to bears. I left with so much gratitude. My fingers hurt so I’ll stop here 😅 and Laeti — I love you. I’m so lucky I met you. I’m so lucky I met Mori and Makiko. 🫶🏻🥰

It was a pleasure to have Lynn and her beautiful dog Mint around, that is well trained . Lynn is eager and willing to work, I recommend her.

We had the pleasure to host Wendy for about 10 days, and from the very first moment it felt like meeting someone truly special. She has this rare mix of empathy, kindness, and initiative that immediately lights up a place and the people around her. We trusted her instantly to look after our home, our dogs, and our chickens while we were away— and she cared for everything with such natural reliability and heart. Her presence brought so much warmth and beautiful energy to our projects, and our conversations with her were genuinely enriching. She touched us not only with her generosity, creativity and the delicious meals she shared, but also with the sincerity and dedication she put into everything she did. Wendy is the kind of person who leaves a mark, and we feel grateful to have crossed paths with her.

Gracias a Marcia, Eulogia, Juanita y Liz. El trabajo es muy simple. Trabajaba de 7h a 11h 6d/7. Me ocupé de los desayunos para los huéspedes, luego hice la limpieza y terminé con 30 min 1h en la recepción. El desayuno me fue ofrecido. Todo el equipo está a la escucha y muy buenos consejos si es necesario. Pasé 2 semanas geniales y os echaré de menos. ¡Hasta pronto!

Mitzi is just an absolutely lovely person. Kind, gentle, creative and a wonderful knowledgeable addition to our family. When Mitzi came I had just had major surgery, meaning I was way more out of action than normal and needed a lot of basic help- shopping, food prep, child care, cooking etc- with a gentle and calm approach, she kept everything running smoothly and was on hand to help in lots of supportive ways. Mitzi is fun, smart, warm, gentle and wise and a lovely addition to your home or team!

Julie is just amazing! The warmest hearted, generous, organised, fun and kind lady. Her expertise as a nurse meant she just whisked in and got the house running like clockwork- full of fun, she planned birthday decorations for my birthday as a surprise and was always giggling with our kid, who loved her. Always offered a listening ear and lots of good ideas, we so enjoyed having her join our family! Highly recommended!

To Gaia and Balam, two of the most humble and beautiful 😍 human beings I've ever met! And to the gorgeous cats and dogs - I will miss them. Both Gaia and Balam are laid back and very welcoming. We enjoyed great food together, laughter and with Balam many funny moments - the Tortilla Challenge, a water balloon battle (yes in December) 🥶 but it was awesome! Am already missing them greatly, but hopefully can visit for a longer stay in 2026 and help with anything they need. Please stay in touch 🍫🙏❤️

If you are looking for a motivated, intelligent, energetic, reliable and trustworthy volunteer, look no further than Lotta. She stayed with me for 2 weeks, which just flew by. At the time I had an injury & she made it so easy for me to have confidence in her looking after my very precious animals. She brings with her many skills and is a sponge for more knowledge - definitely a lifelong learner. She is great company and a wonderful cook, I enjoyed our evenings cooking, chatting & sharing knowledge. Truly a five star volunteer, who I hope to see again

It was my first workaway experience and I had a really fantastic time on Zakynthos. Antje and Pavlos always took care of everything that was needed in this five weeks. In addition, we had wonderful accommodation, great meals together and lots and lots of laughs. Thank you for the wonderful time!!!
