Overall, the experience has been good. The job allows for plenty of free time, and I've been able to explore many areas of the host. The apartment is new and very well located; you can walk to many places. I've met other travelers and locals, and I've improved my English.

I'm really grateful for my time in Msida. The work was simple and repetitive but could be tiring since I cleaned full the host alone. Not too hard, not too easy. Schedules were sent the night before and could change last minute. Anthony and Angela were kind and always ready to help. The private apartment was modern and clean and in a great location. There were no other volunteers so I had to put myself out there but met great people. Sometimes hours went over 20 but when I spoke up it was sorted fairly. the host is beautiful and I fell in love with it.

My stay at Anthony's the host was from March 10 to March 31, 2025. I helped out there as a volunteer cleaning the host. It was a very nice, pleasant stay at Anthony's the host 😊. I had to work between 4-8 hours about 4-5 days a week and always had a lot of free time afterwards. the host are very chic, and I felt really comfortable. Unfortunately, I couldn't speak much English, as most of the work is done alone and you have to socialize outside. To secure the "employment relationship," a contract is signed at the beginning, but don't worry, it sounds worse then it is :-).

Unfortunately, our expectations were completely different. This felt more like a work-for-accommodation arrangement than a volunteer project. The day after I arrived, I was assigned 8-hour cleaning training shifts through an app. My host was unavailable (I never met him), refused to connect via WhatsApp, and all communication was impersonal. The staff misunderstood my role, even believing I was a hired housekeeper. Feeling unheard when expressing my discomfort, I chose to leave and request relocation. Living alone with no interaction with other volunteers, I gained nothing from this experience

Bullet points,due to symbol limit:
- You knew you’re our 1st worldpacker,we provided whole apartment for you,you loved it.
- On 1st day 8hrs - true, so you learn from our supervisor. I also explained that longer days = getting 4 full days off per week.
- I am sorry I cannot welcome each person myself having a lot of properties and duties, my team usually takes good care of everyone, I still cannot understand what went wrong there. You had WhatsApp connection with 2 people from my team.

Well, to start with, in which woofing can you be welcomed by someone who will never have you under their thumb for less than a month of stay? Being content with just being in charge of the tasks to do doesn't tell the whole story! That's actually what three-quarters of the work crew you'll be with do. The others, South Americans who barely speak English, but they don't bite—that's the essential! No meals are provided during the month; that's about 600 euros spent on food for 1 month! You are happy with the trip! Because yes, life is expensive there. In short, it's as the first review says.

Thank you for your feedback. You were part of the housekeeping team with a supervisor overseeing your tasks. We’re an international group that values diversity and teamwork, even if communication styles vary.
Meals were not included, as stated in the offer. The apartment we provided had an equipped kitchen, and Lidl is nearby. A €600 food budget usually covers a family of 3–4, so actual costs depend on personal choices.
We appreciate your input and wish you the best in your future travels.
Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
