### 1/5 — Don’t get suckered into this platform

*2021-04-15*

Worldpackers is a scam. We tried Worldpackers as a host. We got one good Aupair but we actually recruited her through aupairworld, she happened to be on Worldpackers too. The other 4 volunteers were basically no shows, one guy upgraded to a room to stay after one day of work because he felt mowing and cleaning was beneath him. Another one came and left without saying hello, we figured he must have seen a ghost, never met him. The third one was a lady from Brazil who decided after three days that she didn’t like our island and left. Another one arrived, worked one day and then immediately wanted a day off to tour the island. From our vantage point this platform scams travelers out of $50 for a false hope to get free stays for a fun “experience” that really doesn’t resemble volunteer work. Stay away, you’re better off recruiting directly.

**Developer response:** Hi there, we’re very sorry to hear about your experience back in 2021. We always strive to ensure positive exchanges between hosts and volunteers, and we regret that your experience wasn’t as expected. If you decide to use the app again in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team — we’re here to help. 💙

### 1/5 — New Version 3.0.3 CRASHES 100% of time

*2020-01-02*

There is no way to read the messages, as it crashes when attempting to open new unread messages. Makes this app completely useless. 😖

**Developer response:** Hi! Sorry for that. Could you update the app and check again, please?
If you prefer, send us a message support@worldpackers.com

### 1/5 — Não atualiza inbox no app.

*2019-12-27*

Tem que entrar pelo computador toda vez que entra uma mensagem inbox, o que torna o app inútil.

Poderia atualizá-lo, por favor?
Esperamos sua resposta para saber se está tudo ok.
Obrigado!

### 4/5 — My experience as a host with Worldpackers

*2025-12-12*

My experience as a host with Worldpackers has been great. All of the volunteers have been responsible and easy to work with.

The communication with Worldpackers can improve. It can be challenging to resolve a problem at times.
