Vom Host für Workawayer (Honoka)
Honoka stayed with us for 5 weeks in April and May 2025. She was a excellent workawayer and we were really sad to let her go. She was like part of our family.
She is a very kind ans gentle person, interesting to talk to and always ready to help. She is very organised; a fast learner and saw things which had to be done or when a hand is needed on

She helped us in the house, with cooking, cleaning and other household things. She helped in the garden and did weeding, watering, planting and harvesting. She was painting wood for a fence. Once we explained something, which she should do, she did it reliable on her own, correctly, accurate and always with a smile. She learned soon how to handle Rico our dog, who adopted her as part of the family right from the first moment.
She also took care for the quails, feeded them and gave them water. Honoka was a good companion also for family activities like hiking, visting cities and museums. She was always interested in learning about our culture and traditions.
It was a pleasure to host Honoka „san“. We wish her all the best for her future and hope, we meet again some time.

I had a great time with Reinhard, Sabine, and Rico.
I stayed with this lovely host family for one month, and it was a truly warm and unforgettable experience!
My main task was painting fences, which I enjoyed a lot.
They always cared about how I was doing and made sure I felt comfortable.
They explained many things to me — their church, local
… read more traditions, and delicious Bavarian food.
Even though my English isn’t perfect, they always used simple words and listened to me with kindness and patience.
They also took me to beautiful places, and I even got to see a traditional Maypole festival for the first time.
Everything was so fun and meaningful!
This family is truly wonderful, and I hope to visit them again someday.
I can highly recommend them to anyone!
Thank you for everything:)
Vom Workawayer (Matthew) für Host
My experience staying with Reinhard and Sabine was a positive one. I learned a lot of woodworking skills from Reinhard, Sabine made lovely food and taught me about German history, and both were really patient and gracious in speaking German with me. My confidence using German increased a lot because of them.
Two things keep me from giving a full
… read more five stars. First, Reinhard and Sabine would sometimes argue while we were eating or driving together, which could make things uncomfortable. Second, I noticed toward the end of my stay that we were working six days a week instead of five. We never worked more than 25 hours per week, and I'm sure if I asked to switch to five days we would have. So not a big deal, I just recommend clarifying the work schedule upon arrival.
That said, I want to emphasize again that my stay was a positive one! Sabine and Reinhard were VERY generous with both their time and money, moreso than any other couple I know. They bought me a nice winter hat so I wouldn't be cold, helped me with getting an important prescription, went with me for a doctors visit, took me on lovely trips to nearby attractions... and that's just a few things. They went beyond their obligations as hosts, and really made me feel welcome and cared for.
Reinhard and Sabine, thank you for sharing your home with me and making me feel like part of the family.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Zara helped us excellently in the household, dog sitting, weeding and watering in the garden as well as some reconstruction works. We enjoyed her Persian cooking capabilities.

Great experience with wonderful people. I was nervous as this was my first experience but I got a very good first impression on video call and when I arrived they made me feel home right away.

Vom Workawayer (Giulia) für Host
Staying with Reinhard and Sabine was such a wonderful work away experience. During the three weeks I stayed, I primarily worked in the garden helping to prepare vegetables for the summer (repotting, watering, planting, etc).
Reinhard and Sabine are both wonderful people and I enjoyed spending time and having conversations with them during my

Sabine, Reinhard, and Max took the time to explain the culture of the region and answer all of my questions about it which made for a great cultural exchange. I also got to go hiking with Max to see the beautiful landscape.
I really appreciated being able to have my first workaway experience here. Thank you!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Fabio)
Fabio stayed 4 weeks with us. He is a very polite and pleasant person. Fabio immediatelly integrated in our family and enriched our living together.
We could bring ahead our foreseen works by his engaged support. Fabio and our son Max got a good team in pouring concrete, doing woodworking and building up our stock of firewood. He also did

He was always interested in learning German. It was very astonishing for us how good his German was developped, knowing he never had German language at school. It was also no problem to communicate in English.
We wish Fabio all the best and can fully recommend him to other hosts. We hope to see Fabio once again.
Vom Workawayer (Fabio) für Host
My stay with Reinhard und Sabine was my first workaway experience, or I'd better say, my "eataway" experience. In fact the work load was really nothing in comparison with the time I spent with them visiting cities, going walking and, of course, eating at many typical restaurants nearby.
I will never forget our cultural trips, where Sabine was

Reihnard's knowledge consists not only of engineering and gardening, but also in music: I loved listening to his Italian playlist in the car (in particular Laura Pausini's songs).
Max was the perfect work companion, very accurate in everything he does and always patient to teach me what to do in every situation.
And I'll miss naturally "der Kaiser vom Ende der Welt" Rico the Terrier, too.
As I've not studied German at school, my
language skills were pretty bad, but there was never misunderstanding because they could amazingly translate every single word in English, French and Italian as well!
As Reinhard said, probably after these four weeks I've gained 2 kilos of fat and 2 kilos of muscles: I'll let you know!
Thank you for everything, hope to see you all again in Germany (or in Italy).

Vom Host für Workawayer (Giada)
Giada was 5 1/2 weeks in our house during COVID-19. She helped us preparing the garden for winter time, house reconstruction as painting walls and wood, supported us in daily cooking and general household. As she was familiar with dogs she was the first Workawayer where we had full confidence when she was out with our dog for a walk. There never

She integrated very well in our family spending most of the evenings with us. Sometimes we felt having an additional daughter. We liked her sympathetic nature, her laughing and her singing when she was working with the dust cleaner.
Her main objective was to improve her knowledge of German language and we could see how her photographic mind took one after the other vocabulary into memory.
We can recommend her for other Workaway hosts and wish a good future to Giada. Grazie per tutto!

I couldn't ask for a first better workaway experience!
Reinhard, Sabine, Max and Rico are a very lovely, kind and caring family and I felt very welcomed and safe at their place from the very beginning.
I stayed with them a month and in this period I helped them with some housework, some tasks in the garden and I assisted them in renovating their

I had the amazing opportunity to immerse myself in the typical german life by eating local food and by visiting, before the lockdown, touristic places in the beautiful Bavaria.
I loved every moment spent with them, how close the family was, how caring and how willing they were to always teach me and show me something about the german culture and their sustainable life.
I appreciated a lot how patient they were with me despite my German not being perfect and even if I hadn't been the best cook.
I felt more than just a workawayer with them, I felt like a full-fledged family member and I hope I'll have the opportunity to meet them again!
Thank you for everything, it was an amazing experience and I'll always have a beautiful memories of this time!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
