Workaway is a revolutionary way of travelling that makes true cultural exchange easy, safe, and affordable. Not only do you share your skills in exchange for hospitality, but you immerse yourself fully into your host community. Workaway actually goes beyond travelling, it is a step ahead towards global citizenship.

All things considered: you ALL fid very well. I received the volunteers request, biography, photo and their interests corresponded to my needs for helpers. Issue: ( more my technical ¿abilities? Is getting to the correct venue for leaving my critique and ?logging in via your app or through/by responding to your emails, emails are no problem. , app, I get lost in your biography

Workaway is a very nice way of travelling. One of the best, I think. You help local people with your volunteer work and not join to the tourism mainstream that enrich the big business and impoverished the local shops and stores. Very suistantable, cultural ethic and full of lovely experience for both sides!
The only reason because I don't give 5 stars it's because at first, for me, was very difficult to find a host. I wrote messages to almost 7 host an no one of them answered me. I think Workaway has to be more serious and strict about the inactives profiles because you spend so much time searching and sending the message for soliciting the place and maybe the host haven't seen his profile in a long time ago or just don't spend a little time for answer you.

I have had a wonderful experience with WorkAway! I have been able to meet people and explore places that I normally never be able to. Being able to stay and eat for free in exchange for work is great!

I was volunteering in Hagianggo during a week , helping them with marketing and interacting with guests . And I really love ❤️ this place .
Everything was perfect - the hotel is clean and comfortable , the staff is very friendly and most of them speak English well , they serve nice breakfast for guests for free , and make very delicious tea and coffee ☕️.
The WiFi works well everywhere and there are many chargers, including common area (which is suitable to work with laptop 💻) .
I stayed first night in private room and then in the dorm (which I even liked more - it's so cozy , with privacy curtains , chargers, and there is a balcony where I did my exercises every morning 💪.
The hotel is located close to the main bus station , but on a quite street , and it's not noisy here at night (I slept next to the window and felt myself well) .
What I really like is their approach to guests - they explain everything about the tours in details (telling what is included and what is not very clearly, the guests always know what they pay for ) , they give recommendations about places to visit and can give a personal plan , if you want to ride a motorbike yourself . But most of guests choose a tour with local drivers , because it's safer and more relaxing . All the guests I talked with after the tour were satisfied. They have different tour options from 1 to 4 days .
Their website is informative, and Instagram , YouTube and TikTok are full of amazing content (each guests has a chance to become superstar ✨️ ).
Also, they help to organise transfer to/from Hanoi, and the buses come under the hotel , while waiting the bus , guests can relax in the common area , drink tea/coffee and take shower .
Me , as a volunteer , I really appreciated their shared lunches and dinners and flexibility of my work hours and tasks .
Many Thanks 🙏 to Tom , Lee , Mai (I really appreciate the Lucky Cat 🐈 you presented me ) , Thanh , Hong , Hoang , Hoa , and all of others which names I don't remember , sorry 😅 (I hope I wrote your names correctly and didn't mixed up with you surnames😹) .
I wish you good luck 👍 ✨️.

the workaway program is a great way to connect willing "workers" with those who need assistance. But the many benefits come more from the great conversations and connections it creates. We have now had quite a number of workawayers who have done a whole range of tasks and we have so many great experiences and made real friends

Workaway is a great way of being able to receive volunteers all over the world and offer individuals to travel and experience different places/ culture/ country in their authenticity.
To optimize: it would be great if reviews can only be seen/ published once the other party also has given a review.
