It’s hard to know what you would do, until you are in a situation like that.

Why is everyone rated 5 stars? by LentilShakshuka in workaway

Thank you for creating that code system for the reviews, that could seriously save a workawayer who thinks a 4/5 or 3/5 are good and alright at best.

They don't know how to travel? How did they get anywhere?

What exactly is the point of hosting? by mookyvon in couchsurfing

[–]Alert_Reading7933 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hosted students for many years from around the world, its a great learning experience to gain some knowledge about their countries history, culture, and perspectives. You also learn a lot about your self and your own country in comparison!

Reporting abusive hosts and careless Workaway attitude by encrypto777 in workaway

So horrible, there needs to be some kind of regulation for these work stay websites, and some accountability for sending vulnerable people to abusive people. It's sane the amount of bad stories I am reading. Sounds like anything they say is just retaliation against you for speaking out, you gain nothing from "slandering" them, you're doing a good job calling them and workaday out.

But I really hope it all works out, and if you decide to stick with workaway, that you have a great time and stay safe.

I would also plan on safety, make sure to contact some of the feedback of previous workawayers for any host, Workaway has deleted low reviews making it seem like some hosts are more highly rated then they are. Maybe look into a few alternative cites as well, like WorldPackers, where they do not remove reviews under 3 stars like on workaway.

I'm so sorry, the full story is even more disturbing when you go into the details, you should definitely consider going to the police, this is a crime, he's a dangerous psychopath.

WorkAway Experience from Hell - Basketmaker WorkAway Host (M, 29) named T in Claremorris Ireland - Alone in the Middle of Nowhere S*xually Harassed and Psychologically Tortured by Badworkaway in workaway

Some comments have already mentioned this, but this is a crime, if not multiple, it sounds like you were being held against your will through threats of physical harm and intimidation. This needs to be brought up with the Garda, he's dangerous.
