Hosts are terrible but the volunteers are 5 stars

I am struggling with getting good hosts.

My last hosts were absolute abusers, everyone left earlier because they were giving little food, and were demanding that the 5 hours were intense working hours on their construction site.

They kept saying everyone was slow and taking too many bathroom breaks and drinking water breaks.

They gave little to no safety equipment and the site was super dangerous. We were moving heavy furniture up/down a goats path I almost fell with a 50kg wardrobe.

When I asked for more food at lunch and more safety, the host freaked out and demanded I leave earlier.

The volunteers were absolute the best, made real connections, struggling together to endure the host and its conditions made a strong bond. But unfortunately they can't review my real character on workaways. Only the host that was abusing me.

And now other hosts want reviews from other hosts... I can easily find 6 volunteers as a reference but not one host
