Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 15

C'était juste parfait. Facile, agréable, efficace, et bien sympathique comme échange. Je recommande Jasmin qui est une personne courageuse, discrète, respectueuse qui s'adapte très bien aux différentes tâches proposées, même celles qu'elle découvre. Et sa compagnie est des plus agréable, ouverte à différentes discussions. J'ai adoré son côté naturel.

Roy stayed with us for two months, and having him here was a truly great experience from start to finish. He is an incredibly **active and productive person**, always ready to jump into any task with energy and a positive attitude. Whether it was physical work, problem-solving, or daily tasks, he approached everything in a very **hands-on and practical way**, which made a huge difference for our project. Roy proved to be extremely reliable and trustworthy. You could always count on him—he was consistently on time, well-organised, and brought a steady, focused presence to the work. At the same time, he was always in a good mood, which made working together easy and enjoyable. Beyond the work, Roy was also great fun to have around. It was always a pleasure to spend time together, and there were plenty of laughs—he really added a light and positive atmosphere to daily life here. He contributed a lot during his time with us and supported us in many areas, always willing to help wherever needed. His motivation and consistency really stood out. It was a pleasure to have him as part of our project, and we can highly recommend him to any future hosts.

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting this wonderful young woman from Scotland, and we honestly couldn’t have wished for a better experience. She is such a lovely, warm-hearted person, and from the very beginning she truly became the soul of the project. Her presence brought a special kind of calm, kindness, and positive energy to our place that we will all remember. She was always caring and attentive, not only towards the work but also towards everyone around her. What really stood out to us was how much more developed and mature she is than her age would suggest—something quite rare and very beautiful to witness. In the garden, she was an incredible help—motivated, hands-on, and always ready to support wherever needed. She worked with such dedication and joy, which made a real difference to our project. We already miss her very much, and she left a lasting imprint on all of us. Whoever gets the chance to host her next is truly lucky.

Kaede was great help for us, always ready to help whit smile on her face! We warmly welcome her back when ever she can!

Gracias Colin por estar con nosotros, por todo tu trabajo, fue de gran ayuda. Lo recomendamos, muy responsable y trabajador.

Fue un gran placer conocer a Nozomi, es una gran persona, la mejor maestra de Japones, y le enseño japones a mi hijo. Fue muy responsable, trabajo muy duro, nosotros la recomendamos muchisimimo. Gracias Nozomi por estar con nosostros.

Queridos Swami, Yovana y Alain💐 Muchas gracias por estas dos semanas tan especiales. Llegué sin saber exactamente qué esperar de mi primer voluntariado y sinceramente no podría haber elegido un lugar mejor. Desde el primer día me hicieron sentir parte de la familia y me acogieron con mucho cariño. Disfruté muchísimo de todas las actividades: pintar con tierra y agua, arreglar cercas, ayudar en la construcción y aprender tantas cosas nuevas. Pero lo que más recordaré serán las comidas compartidas, las risas, las conversaciones que tuvimos y la forma tan especial en que viven y comparten sus valores. Gracias por todo lo que hacen y por la pasión que ponen en este proyecto. Son una inspiración para mí y para muchas otras personas. Me llevo recuerdos maravillosos y espero volver a verlos algún día, Hanna🥰

It was my first Workaway experience and I enjoyed my stay (4 weeks). The garden is beautiful and very well maintained and the greenhouse with the outdoor shower is a highlight. The tasks were simple – weeding, mowing the lawn (which I enjoyed the most), fertilising plants, doing mosaic work, and cleaning tasks. Yeshe is very friendly. She took me along a few times and also invited me for meals. I really enjoyed getting to know her perspective of life, which I found inspiring. At the same time, we had little contact overall and communication was sometimes challenging due to the language. Over time, I found the place a bit isolated (I think its nicer to come with another person to this place or have a car to be more flexible). El Paso is a 30 minute walk away. Going on trips required more planning, especially if I didn’t want to walk back after dark. Temperatures were often 15°C, especially in the mornings and at night it was a bit uncomfortable. There was a gas heater available, but I didn’t feel comfortable using it overnight. The accommodation itself was lovely and I especially enjoyed cooking in the outdoor kitchen.

We had such a lovely week and a bit with Azucena (Naia) in June '26. We hit it off instantly on a video call first to arrange her coming here. We hadn't hosted anyone since November due to several uncomfortable experiences, and Naia has restored our faith in Workaway and how it can be such a wonderful exchange and a way to connect with lovely people. Naia is intelligent, intuitive, creative and so helpful and she fitted in instantly, just helping out in a common sense way apart from the official tasks that needed doing. She did so much work in the garden, strimming, weeding and clearing firewood and she's naturally organised and likes order so she did a great job sorting out various kitchen storage areas. She's fit and strong and well able for physical tasks. She also used her creativity to take beautiful photos and videos of our place and my musical instruments. We loved Naia's energy, company and sense of humour and we had great chats. It was a pity the time was so short and busy as I was away to a yoga retreat, but she knows she's welcome back any time. I highly recommend Naia. Thanks for all your help and hope we meet again!

We spent two weeks with Paul and Aine and we couldn't have been happier with our workaway! Paul and Aine are very kind, generous and flexible with everything. We felt very welcome in their home, and throughout the stay it really felt like we were simply spending time with friends. We had many delightful dinners together and shared stories over a glass of wine, and we learned so much about life in Italy as well as about the region itself. We hope to see you again soon! -Alex, Isabel and James the cat

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure hosting you, even for a short stay. We are delighted that you felt welcomed by the community and enjoyed the accommodation and local food. We truly appreciate your openness, enthusiasm, and willingness to contribute

I spent one month at David’s place in May 2026, and I truly believe it was one of the best experiences of my life! I met extraordinary people and learned so many new things. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to live closer to nature, meet people from all walks of life, and learn how to live in a community. I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to experience this. Thank you, David, for this wonderful experience. I hope to see you again soon!

I've been with David and the crew on and off since November as my first workaway, in total for around 5-6 months, it's my third time coming back and I've had the time of my life throughout all of it. The amount of connections with people you make here is insane, and it's a whole different experience to get into, very different than living in the city. I've enjoyed painting a ton on the ships, meeting all kinds of great people and being a part of the project. I'll be coming back to the project for the coming years for sure, and I'm confident it's a project which will continue for many many years.

I had an amazing time staying with Catherine and Andre,they made me feel very welcome. The house was lovely, and I stayed in my own apartment which was very nice. The area is very beautiful and there is a lot to do. I went on many beautiful hikes straight from the house, and they lent me a bike so I could explore the area further. The food was amazing, with plenty of it, you definitely won’t go hungry. Lots of amazing bread and pastries. I worked in the garden with Catherine which was good, the garden has an amazing view of the mountains. I worked from 8-12, then had the afternoon off to explore the area. It was a very nice balance. I had a very nice stay,and I can’t recommend this place enough.

Working on the farm, combing the grapes and picking cherrys - lots of fun, a bit hot but still good work. Anna and Fabrizio were so welcoming and accomodating. Highlight was getting to visit a dance class with Anna and learn a southern italian dance! Tenno as a town is beautiful and such a cool place to spend a couple of weeks. Thankyou so much for having me :)

I stayed with Isaac for 7 days, and he was very helpful throughout his stay. He assisted me with uploading photos to my website and updating its content. Isaac was flexible, accommodating, and easy to work with. I appreciate his support and would recommend him to others.

My time with Joana and Bruno was fantastic. They are very grounded, easygoing, and welcoming. My work involved helping with the renovation of their new Airbnb, entertaining their three kids, and taking care of daily chores. Their kids are full of energy and always ready to learn something new. My circus tricks received good reviews 😊 and I plan to bring back more when I go back to Colares. Overall it was a lovely stay and I highly recommend this place to anyone.

Krystof is a calm, respectful, and independent person. ☺️ How peaceful presence brought a nice balance to the house, especially during a busy period with many volunteers. He was responsible with his tasks and easy to host. I also appreciated his quiet hobbies, like playing guitar and sewing, which reflected his thoughtful nature. I would gladly host him again

I spent a wonderful month doing a Workaway as a Social Media Manager at this hostel, and it was an incredible experience. Even before my arrival, Lucky arranged a video call to clearly explain my tasks and everything I needed to know about the place. From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. Lucky was super understanding and always made sure we had enough free time to explore and experience Sri Lanka. He was also very clear and professional regarding my daily responsibilities. Despite being the low season with fewer tourists, the hostel has an amazing vibe. The common areas, like the pool and the board games, make it so easy to connect with everyone. I felt deeply involved in all the activities, from surfing to community dinners, ranging from delicious local food to fun taco nights…It was incredibly easy to bond with both the team and the guests. I highly recommend volunteering here, and I’ll always remember this experience:)

To describe my experience in Assa is very difficult, but I will try my best. The whole experience left me feeling very very thankful and I missed it as soon as I got on the bus. I feel humble and greatful for all the locals that met us with openness, curiosity and generosity. They seemed really greatful for our role as teachers at the language center, which was a great base and opportunity for cultural exchange! Most of the students at the language center were eager to learn and very kind! The teachers and students made it so much fun to teach ! I think that it is a perfect place to learn how to or improve one's teaching, learn about the saharawian culture and language. I was an assistant teacher at the other English classes in the start and after a week I had my own class which was a pleasure. A big thanks to all of the amazing teachers and especially to Nathan for believing in my abilities, helping me, managing the practical things and keeping us all in a safe and good environment. As for the surroundings: Assa is a small city, but I didn't feel like anything was missing. There are two places that accomodates volunteers - a smaller apartment in the city and a house that is a 20 min walk from the city center and 2 min from the school. Lastly I want to say infinite thanks to the other lovely people from all over the world. Everyone did their best to include one another and make the house a nice place to be. Ofcourse I want to thank Lachen for his dedication and generosity! He is really kind and I appreciate everything that he does and did for me while I was staying in Assa!! So all in all I cannot recommend this enough! Thanks for reading <3333
