Workaway Travel App

I got workaway and within a week i met my first host by complete fate on a ferry to the island they live on before they even saw my text, they were able to connect me with more host in my next journey and then again and so forth. Workaway is great to network meet new people and make new connections.

I’ve had this for a few months now. I haven’t gone on my trip yet and am still looking for a place. I had a position lined up, all was well, and they suddenly dropped me. I was polite, responded to all questions, and they didn’t give any indication there was an issue before I received a very unpleasant message from them. I’ve never even met these people. But now my account is gone. There has been no response from Workaway. It looks like they just erased my account. I did actually pay for this. I believe the people I was to stay with had something come up, and rather than taking the hit, got me banned.

I had an experience where the host turned out to be blatantly racist, and when I reported her profile, an investigation was never launched and I actually never even received a response from Workaway. She ended up leaving me a lower review (even though I would do extra work on top of a full day's work and go out of my way to be respectful as I was consistently being disrespected) and the only response I received from the Help Desk was that "reviews can't be changed once they're left". So, while unjust, my account will remain with that lower rating forever, and I've already had hosts decline me because of it. My case is also not the only one - I've head stories like this from others as well. Don't take it from me though - I would recommend doing your own research... At this point, my best option is to delete my account, and the membership fee is not refundable.
