Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 4

I had the most wonderful time at Paul and Julia’s lovely home. The surroundings are truly beautiful, peaceful and calming. I was very lucky to have my own room and bathroom, which made my stay even more comfortable. The work was more than fair and enjoyable: it mostly involved some gardening and painting the windows. Paul and Julia really made an effort to show me the area and help me discover the beautiful surroundings. Paul and Julia are both incredibly welcoming, caring and generous hosts. Julia is such a kind, understanding and warm person. She creates a safe space where you feel you can talk openly about anything. Paul is a genuinely funny man with a wealth of life experience and wisdom and he always had fascinating stories and insights to share. Their cooking is absolutely fabulous and I truly enjoyed sharing meals and conversations with them. The house is also full of lovely animal companions including the sweet dog (Madame) Plume, who loves going for walks, and the many adorable cats that make the home even more special. I would highly recommend staying with Paul and Julia. Thank you both for such a wonderful experience! I am truly happy I chose this place for my first workaway experience and I will definitely miss this place.

There are places you visit, and then there are places that become part of who you are. Mayoor's farm will forever be one of those places for us. When we first arrived, our plan was simple: stay for one month, learn a few things, contribute where we could, and continue our travels. Life, however, had a different plan. One month became three months, and even after all that time, leaving was one of the hardest things we had to do. If our visa had not come to an end, we would have happily stayed longer in this little piece of paradise that captured our hearts from the very beginning. Looking back on our travels across India, we can say without hesitation that this was the most meaningful, rewarding, and life-changing experience we had in this beautiful country. Mayoor is an exceptional host and an exceptional human being. Kind, respectful, generous, knowledgeable, and endlessly patient, he created an environment where everyone felt welcome and valued. Some of our favorite moments were the long conversations we shared with him about farming, education, politics, culture, and life itself. We learned so much from his experiences and his perspective on the world. What made our stay even more special was Mayoor's willingness to share not only his farm but also the incredible farming community around him. He regularly took us to visit neighboring farms, and every trip became an opportunity to learn something new. We visited fascinating places, met inspiring farmers, and discovered different approaches to agriculture and sustainable living. One of our favorite visits was to the pineapple farm. We always looked forward to those trips, not only because they were educational but also because they ended with the freshest and most delicious pineapple juice imaginable. These experiences gave us a deeper appreciation for the land and the people who care for it. Over three months, we learned more than we ever imagined possible. We followed the entire bean-to-bar chocolate-making process, from harvesting cacao pods and fermenting beans to drying, roasting, and transforming them into beautiful chocolate bars. Watching this process unfold from beginning to end was fascinating and gave us a whole new appreciation for the work behind every piece of chocolate. One of the projects we are most proud of was building a pathway completely from scratch. We poured our energy, creativity, and hard work into it, and seeing the final result was incredibly rewarding. Knowing that a small part of us will remain on the farm long after we have left fills us with happiness. We left our mark on the farm, but the farm left an even bigger mark on us. Yet what made this place truly unforgettable was not the work, the projects, or even the beautiful surroundings. It was the people. And above all, it was Mukunth.There are not enough words to describe how much Mukunth means to us. During our stay, he became so much more than the volunteer coordinator. He became family. From the very beginning, he treated us with kindness, patience, and genuine care. Day after day, we worked together, laughed together, shared meals, stories, and countless moments that slowly built a bond we never expected. Somewhere along the way, he stopped feeling like a friend and started feeling like a son. We will forever think of him as our second son. Mukunth taught us many practical skills, but more importantly, he taught us with patience, trust, and encouragement. One of the greatest gifts he gave me was teaching me how to milk a cow. What started as something completely new soon became one of my favorite daily routines. He trusted me with responsibilities that made me feel useful and valued. Every day I cared for Babu and her calf, milked the cow, delivered fresh milk to the neighbors, fed and bathed the animals, and helped care for the six wonderful dogs who brought so much joy to our lives. The trust he placed in me meant more than he will ever know. One memory will stay in my heart forever. During my first week on the farm, I casually mentioned my birthday. I thought nothing of it afterwards. Two months later, Mukunth appeared with a birthday cake and warm wishes. He had remembered the date all that time and had gone out of his way to get a cake for me. I was deeply touched. In a world where people often forget small details, he remembered. It was such a simple act, but it spoke volumes about the kind of person he is. I will carry that memory with me for the rest of my life. We also want to express our deepest gratitude to the incredible tribal women who work on the farm. They welcomed us with open hearts and quickly became some of our closest friends. Despite our different languages and backgrounds, we shared endless laughter, jokes, stories, and unforgettable moments together. Their warmth, strength, and joy made every day brighter. Their children brought so much happiness and energy to the farm, and we loved every moment spent with them. The volunteer community was another beautiful part of this experience. We met wonderful people from all over the world, but some became especially dear to us. Naguesh and Catherine will always hold a special place in our hearts. Their kindness, friendship, and beautiful spirits made our journey even richer. As our departure date approached, a feeling of sadness slowly settled in. We realized we were not simply leaving a volunteer placement. We were leaving family. We were leaving friends. We were leaving a place that had become home. On our last day, it felt as though a piece of our hearts remained behind among the cacao trees, the animals, the pathways we built, the laughter we shared, and the people we came to love. Thank you, Mayoor, for opening your farm and your heart to us. Thank you, Mukunth, for your friendship, your patience, your generosity, and for becoming family. Thank you to the amazing women, children, volunteers, and every single person who made this experience so extraordinary. This farm gave us memories that will last a lifetime, friendships that will never fade, and lessons that we will carry wherever we go. We arrived as strangers. We left as family. And although we had to leave because our visa came to an end, one thing is absolutely certain that we will return home to this beautiful farm.

It was a pleasure to host Denis and Noemie, who both put effort into the tasks undertaken. The only problem is that they couldn't stay longer ! Thank you for your visit, good luck with your endeavours,

It was a pleasure having you here and sharing this experience together. I'm happy you felt at home and enjoyed the time with us. It was wonderful to exchange cultures, meet new friends, and create great memories together. I wish you all the best in your travels, and you are always welcome back anytime!

Thank you so much for your beautiful review and kind words. It was truly a pleasure to host you and share this experience together. I really enjoyed our conversations, the music, and the time spent exploring the area. Thank you as well for your help and positive energy during your stay. You are always welcome back, and I hope our paths cross again one day. Wishing you all the best on your future adventures!

The 5 weeks we spent with Lloyd were truly wonderful, comfortable and peaceful. From the very first day, Lloyd adapted so naturally that he felt like part of the home. He is very hardworking, smart, responsible and solution-oriented. He doesn’t do things just to finish them — he genuinely cares about doing them in the best possible way. During his stay, Lloyd helped us with many different kinds of work and always did everything carefully and with great attention to detail. He cleaned all the stone walls of our house from construction residues such as dirt, lime and cement with incredible patience and care. He also did tile installation, sanded wood surfaces, assembled furniture, helped in the garden and took care of the vegetables. One of the most touching things was the love and kindness Lloyd showed to the 10 baby kittens in our garden — he fed and cared for them every day with genuine compassion. Even though he did not speak the same language as my elderly mother and father, he still managed to build a warm and positive connection with them through his kindness and energy. Lloyd was always respectful, thoughtful, positive and very easy to communicate with. Whenever there was a problem, he stayed calm and focused on finding solutions, and he was always willing to help with anything. His trustworthy character made us feel completely comfortable having him in our home, almost like we had known him for a long time. He left a beautiful impression here not only with his help and hard work, but also with his warm energy and sincerity. We are truly happy to have met Lloyd. I wholeheartedly recommend Lloyd to every host, and our door will always be open for him if he ever wants to come back 😊

Peace, joy and lots of laughter... these are words that immediately come to mind when I retrospect on my stay with Nina. From the moment I arrived, I immediately felt at home, and that feeling never left. I can say without doubt that this is a home I will always return to. Nina's place is simple, peaceful and deeply connected to nature — blissful walking paths, friendly neighbours, and her parents' magical garden just five minutes away where one could spend hours doing garden work. Friends of Nina's would visit from time to time, and they were all wonderfully warm. I also had a great time with Nina's sister. The tasks were varied and enjoyable... mucking out the stalls, looking after the majestic ponies (Laila and Luana), weeding, walking Bell (an adorable dog), small repair works, playing with Joli (Nina's nine-year-old niece), helping Zoé with maths, cooking, and household cleaning. I normally prefer garden work over cleaning, but Nina's home was so full of love and bliss that I often found myself just enchanted and dancing while cleaning for hours with joy and simply losing track of time. I think we can safely say Nina has a gift for enchanting people...with love, homeliness and kindness. Nina also went out of her way to enrich my experience — taking me to the pool in the next town, late night music together (singing and playing the guitar), a peaceful forest walk that culminated in breathtaking views, and even teaching me bareback horse riding. Zoé joined too, a pro rider with one of the best smiles ever, what a cheerful, ambitious young girl. Good luck with your future plans, Zooeeeeeeeeeé! Time flew by, and it truly saddened me to leave. And as if joy, peace and lots of laughter weren't enough, Nina sent me on my way with happiness, satisfaction and wholeness of heart. Until we meet again, Ovie 🤍 --- Deutsche Frieden, Freude und viel Lachen... das sind die Worte, die mir sofort in den Sinn kommen, wenn ich an meinen Aufenthalt bei Nina zurückdenke. Von dem Moment an, als ich ankam, fühlte ich mich sofort wie zu Hause und dieses Gefühl hat mich nie verlassen. Ich kann ohne Zweifel sagen, dass dies ein Zuhause ist, zu dem ich immer wiederkehren werde. Ninas Zuhause ist einfach, friedlich und tief mit der Natur verbunden, wunderschöne Waldwege, freundliche Nachbarn und der magische Garten ihrer Eltern, nur fünf Minuten entfernt, wo man stundenlang Gartenarbeit machen könnte. Freunde von Nina kamen von Zeit zu Zeit vorbei, und alle waren wunderbar herzlich. Ich hatte auch eine tolle Zeit mit Ninas Schwester. Die Aufgaben waren vielfältig und angenehm...Pferdeboxen ausmisten, die majestätischen Ponys (Laila und Luana) versorgen, Unkraut jäten, Bell (einen entzückenden Hund) spazieren führen, kleine Reparaturarbeiten, mit Joli spielen (Ninas neunjähriger Nichte), Zoé beim Mathe helfen, kochen und Haushaltsreinigung. Normalerweise bevorzuge ich Gartenarbeit gegenüber dem Putzen, aber Ninas Zuhause war so voller Liebe und Glück, dass ich mich oft dabei ertappte, wie ich verzaubert und tanzend stundenlang mit Freude putzte und dabei einfach die Zeit vergaß. Ich glaube, man kann sagen, dass Nina die Gabe hat, Menschen zu verzaubern, mit Liebe, Heimeligkeit und Freundlichkeit. Nina tat auch alles, um meine Zeit zu bereichern...sie nahm mich mit ins Schwimmbad in der Nachbarstadt, wir machten gemeinsam spätabends Musik (Singen und Gitarre spielen), einen friedlichen Waldspaziergang mit atemberaubendem Ausblick, und sie brachte mir sogar das Reiten ohne Sattel bei. Zoé war auch dabei, eine Profi-Reiterin mit einem der schönsten Lächeln überhaupt. Was für ein fröhliches, ehrgeiziges Mädchen. Viel Erfolg für deine Zukunftspläne, Zooeeeeeeeeeé! Die Zeit verging wie im Flug, und es hat mich wirklich traurig gemacht zu gehen. Und als ob Freude, Frieden und viel Lachen nicht genug gewesen wären, schickte Nina mich mit Glück, Zufriedenheit und Herzensfrieden auf den Weg. Bis wir uns wiedersehen, Ovie 🤍

Christine was an excellent Workway’s in the farm, she helped me in the maintenance of the house and with my daughter . She’s gently and a good worker.

There are some places you visit and enjoy, and then there are places that leave a permanent mark on your heart. Staying with Ashwin and Tanisha was one of those rare experiences for us. Before they were even members of Workaway, we spent a month with them on their beautiful farm and instantly felt at home. When it came time to leave India, we knew we couldn't go without seeing them again, so we returned for another two weeks. Looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made during our travels. From the very beginning, Ashwin and Tanisha welcomed us not as volunteers, but as family. Their kindness, generosity, and genuine care for others are truly remarkable. They are two of the warmest, most sincere, and inspiring people we have ever met. What they are creating is so much more than a farm. It's a place built with love, purpose, and a deep connection to nature and community. During our stay, we learned an incredible amount. We helped with weeding, planting, watering, preparing the soil for cultivation, landscaping, mural painting, and many other projects around the farm. Every task felt meaningful because we could see the passion and vision behind everything they were building. We arrived with little knowledge of farming and left with new skills, new perspectives, and a much greater appreciation for the hard work that goes into caring for the land. Some of our favorite memories were not just about the work, but about the life we shared together. We spent evenings talking for hours about travel, culture, dreams, nature, and life itself. Those conversations will stay with us for a very long time. Ashwin and Tanisha have a beautiful way of making people feel heard, valued, and included. The surroundings are equally special. We explored the stunning hills and forests around the farm, enjoyed peaceful hikes, and experienced a quieter and more authentic side of Goa. The local community and neighbors were incredibly welcoming and added even more warmth to our stay. The food deserves special mention. Every meal was healthy, nourishing, and prepared with care. And then there were Ashwin's pizzas! We were absolutely spoiled with some pizza nights, each one better than the last. Those evenings gathered around good food and great company are memories we will always cherish. What touched us most was how much Ashwin and Tanisha genuinely cared about our well-being. They always made sure we were comfortable, getting enough rest, eating well, and enjoying our experience. Their generosity comes naturally and creates an atmosphere where everyone feels safe, relaxed, and appreciated. It is difficult to put into words what this experience meant to us. We came as strangers, but we left with friends we will carry in our hearts for the rest of our lives. This was not simply a volunteer experience. It was a lesson in kindness, community, simplicity, and meaningful living. We cannot recommend this place highly enough. If you are looking for a genuine experience, want to learn new skills, connect with wonderful people, and be part of something truly special, this is the place. Ashwin and Tanisha, thank you for opening your home and your hearts to us. We wish you every success with your future projects, especially the café. We have no doubt that everything you create will reflect the same warmth, care, and passion that made our stay so unforgettable. We already miss this place and know that one day we will return. Until then, thank you for the memories, the laughter, the lessons, the pizzas, and most importantly, your friendship.

Workawayer failed to show up without giving notice. After we have wrote here reminding mail a week before arrival, she didn't answer anymore, even if we saw at the system that she has read it.

Mythe found our remote place with her little camping car and managed the rocky road with no problems. She was a great help securing our faisans enclosures despite the unusally hot temperatures for this season, which made outside work more strenuos. She was open to help wherever needed and did her best also with tasks who were new to her. We felt that she had a genuine love for the animals, particularly the ones who were less fortunate in life. She was interested and willing to learn about animals and their needs and behavior. To summarize it, Myrthe is a very pleasant person to whom we wish all the best for her future! Merci beaucoup

Henry stayed with us for a week, he was respectful, clean, tidy and professional. We made him have a go to all the different tasks of our project and he was always keen to have a go, try and learn. He completed successfully every task and we're really satisfied of his work. He's a very joyful, energetic and funny guy. We had a really good time with him and can recommend him to the other hosts. Alessandro & Manon

This place truly is amazing, but can be very quiet só if your someone who is more extroverted be prepared to be alone when going out for hikes or swimming, especially before summer. There is a lot to do on this island like hiking and football and swimming. I really Reccomend to walk as much as possible to take it all in and to eat burek as well. I will come back to this island again it really is a getaway. The hosts Denis and Leah are also very nice and understanding and were always there to help me, be prepared to clean and clean well as this place is kept very clean. You may also do some gardening and even just talking with guests if they have questions. most days you will work the 5 hours but some days especially if there are other workawayers you may only do 3 hours, the free breakfast is also really nice as well lots of options. I do have to say if you are young like 18-21 and are not coming with anyone else this may not be the place for you as losinj has a lot of older people and só it may be harder to connect with the people. Overall this was a very nice and laid back workaway, and I will come back to losinj at some point. thank you Denis and Leah God bless

Excellent welcome ! We helped John remove polytunnels, had a great time, and shared lots of laughs. John explained everything we needed to do very well. We also had a wonderful time with Sara, enjoying some great conversations and getting helpful tips for visiting West Cork. Thank you so much for everything ! We'll enjoy seeing you again. Aurélia and Eric

We both had such a lovely experience working with and getting to know Brenden and Kellie in Kildare! They were kind, gracious and accommodating hosts. The work was not too strenuous, it varied which kept things interesting and we appreciated working alongside Brenden and learning bits of his wisdom along the way. We felt that we learned a lot about Irish life and culture while we were here. Each morning and night we shared a delicious meal and great conversation with the two of them, and there was always plenty of free time for us to explore and do our own thing. Their two adorable pups Eddie and Missy were so fun to play with and have around :) An excellent Workaway experience, we highly recommend! Thank you so much!

Skye and Ciara were an absolute pleasure to host. From the moment they arrived, they approached everything with a positive attitude, enthusiasm and a genuine willingness to help. They were friendly, respectful and easy to have around, quickly fitting into the rhythm of daily life and always offering assistance wherever it was needed. Holly, Banjo and Lana quickly became very fond of them and thoroughly enjoyed their company. Both of them demonstrated initiative, worked diligently and showed a great ability to learn new skills. They were equally happy to contribute their own knowledge and experiences, making them enjoyable and engaging people to spend time with. Throughout their stay, they were considerate, reliable and took pride in the work they undertook. They consistently showed kindness, maturity and a strong work ethic, making them a valuable addition to our home. We would gladly welcome Skye and Ciara back at any time and highly recommend them to any future hosts. We wish them all the very best as they continue their travels and adventures.

I enjoyed having Lugh and Rosie here for three weeks. They were both good workers and very willing to do whatever I needed them to do. They are interesting people and a pleasure to be around, I especially enjoyed playing dominoes with them, a game I taught them and they picked up readily and then consistently won. They are highly recommended and welcome to come here anytime.

Deirdre and Etuka provided us with such an amazing Workaway experience. This was our first Workaway and our stay with them greatly exceeded our expectations. They are such kind people who were gracious hosts to us and we loved getting to know them and their pets. We highly recommend a Workaway stay with Deirdre and Etuka in their beautiful place in the French Alps. There was so many activities we enjoyed in the surrounding areas and in town. We are so grateful we stayed with them in Haute-Savoie, highly recommend this experience!

Rebecca spent 6 weeks with us between May and June 2026 and because of her presence, we were able to accomplish an impressive volume of essential work. She is tall, physically strong & a very fast learner. She provided invaluable help, including dividing and replanting irises, pruning even substantial trees, cleaning and weeding flower beds, shredding garden waste for the compost. We have benefited greatly over the last decade from welcoming via workaway, many talented and experienced gardeners, Rebecca was definitely up there in the top 5%. Highly capable and with a strong work ethic, she is a workaway gem.

Meilleure expérience de woofing! 2,5 jours de travail par semaine en échange d'un tel coin de paradis, on peut difficilement faire mieux. Franck est une source intarissable d'informations sur l'agriculture et la Nouvelle-Calédonie, patient et très à l'écoute. Chloé incarne l'organisation décomplexée et partagera ses mille et une recettes à la banane et au corossol (rassurez-vous on ne savait pas non plus ce que c'était). Cela dit, méfiez-vous de Mad Minou, la terreur du quartier et surtout du canapé! 😼
