Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 5

We just finished a three week exchange with Rin. She was such a joy to have stay with us. Incredibly polite and respectful and always happy to give a new task a go! Rin had lots of "firsts" with us which we were so happy to be a part of. We would welcome her back in a heartbeat!

My experience here was mixed. The hostel itself is lovely, the location is great, and the family is welcoming. However, communication was a consistent issue. I arranged a 9-day stay months in advance and confirmed multiple times that a shorter stay was acceptable, despite their preference for longer-term guests. Upon arrival, there was no clear schedule or agreement. I was told I would work 5 hours per day in exchange for accommodation and food, but aside from starting at 7am, no structure or expectations were clearly communicated. On my first day, I worked around 7 hours. I made several attempts to clarify the schedule and expectations, but it was difficult to get clear answers. Even after discussing it in person and suggesting structured options, communication remained unclear. Although we eventually reached an agreement, I was uncomfortable being shown video recordings of myself taken on the property without my knowledge and being told my work was not satisfactory. I am open to feedback, but I had followed the instructions given and checked in after completing tasks. Due to the lack of clear communication and the discomfort with being recorded without consent, I decided to leave. It’s a shame, as I liked the place and had hoped for a better experience. I would recommend future guests ensure clear expectations and schedules are agreed upon in advance. I would not return.

Richard is very good and I would recommend him and host him again. He is easygoing and hard working, he is respectful of others privacy and keeps his guest cottage clean. He eats whatever is put on the table and always helps to clean up. While with us we did landscape gardening and weeding, some painting and made a nice Zen garden. He always helped at my friends house when her roof was leaking and they needed help to cover it. I like that he does not drink alcohol and was flexible with the working hours when the rain prevented us from working outside.

Gabin thanks for your help was a pleasure having you here, Gabin was fast Lerner and he have done various tasks to help ,he is also very talented with his camera , enjoy your travels hope to see you again in the near future.

we had a wonderful time staying with Aktam and his warm family. They went out of their way to immerse us into their family and traditional Uzbek life. Each day, we helped out with some of the farm work that needed to be done (digging trenches for watering the fruit trees, digging up the grape vines after winter) and I was invited to speak at Aktams university about education in the UK. We were also so lucky to join in many interesting trips, like walking into the mountains, swimming in the nearby lake, making samsa and Plov ! There wasn't a clear schedule and we were often invited to join things last minute, so if you want a clear plan or structure, it might not be your vibe but overall we had a really wonderful time with our new Uzbek family - thank you Aktam !!

Yohanna was an amazing host and I had a fantastic week with her, her lovely family and 2 other volunteers. Because of the last week of Ramadan we didn't do a lot of volunteering (as she mentioned before I arrived), but we did a lot of fun activities together (Tumpak Sewu, batik, Bromo, natural pool, ...). Through her and her family I learned so much about the Indonesian culture and about the Islam, I even joined two days of Ramadan and the family was so supportive.

I enjoyed my stay with Mark and Maze to the fullest. The place Mark created is just wonderful and I was happy to battle old man's beard, harvest the potatoes, feed the ducks and much more. Connecting with the other workawayers was heartwarming and inspiring. I definitely recommend experiencing this beautiful place.

Adrien and Elle made me feel at home from day one – their kindness and positive energy made my stay truly special. I helped with outdoor work (clearing brush, weeding, greenhouse setup, and fruit picking), and Adrien’s practical DIY skills were inspiring! Their kids are lovely, and the whole family is incredibly inclusive. Elle’s homemade seeded bread is a must-try – so good! If you want a friendly, well-organized Workaway with genuine cultural exchange, don’t hesitate. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much, Teressa, for your warm welcome and for sharing your time with me. Working with you on the future creation of your home has been a real pleasure. I also really appreciated being integrated into your life here – meeting your neighbours, your children, and your friends made the experience even more special. Wishing you all the best with the rest of your house project! I’d love to stop by again in September to visit before I leave. Keep up the great work!

Izzy and James stayed with us for just under four weeks and were the first Workawayers we have hosted. They were a pleasure to have around, and we really enjoyed hearing about all their travels and adventures. James is an experienced carpenter, and Izzy is hardworking and practical. They worked on several outdoor landscaping projects which required a good level of physical fitness and many hours of hard work. We really appreciate the great job they did in transforming our back garden. We wish them all the best in their travels.

Morgan and Rebecca stayed with us for two weeks and were a great help in the garden. They did lots of pruning and tidying up as well as collecting and spreading mulch. They also did a great job of cleaning the house and windows after the Summer holiday onslaught. I really admired the way that they got stuck in and saw each task through to the end. On a personal level they're a lovely couple to have in your midst, gracious and considerate. Thanks for your help Rebecca and Morgan and wishing you well for the rest of your adventure.

Me complace recomendar ampliamente a Silvia como instructora avanzada de yoga para oportunidades dentro de la plataforma Workaway. Durante el tiempo que colaboró con nosotros, Silvia demostró un nivel sobresaliente tanto en su práctica personal como en su capacidad para guiar a otros. Sus clases están cuidadosamente estructuradas, integrando técnicas de respiración (pranayama), alineación postural y secuencias fluidas que se adaptan a practicantes de distintos niveles, desde principiantes, como yo, hasta avanzados. Silvia posee una presencia tranquila y profesional, logrando crear un ambiente de confianza, respeto y conexión en cada sesión. Su enfoque va más allá de lo físico, fomentando también la conciencia corporal, la relajación mental y el bienestar integral de los participantes. Además, Silvia es una persona responsable, comprometida y proactiva. Se integra fácilmente en entornos comunitarios, muestra iniciativa para organizar actividades adicionales y siempre mantiene una actitud positiva y colaborativa. Su capacidad de adaptación la hace ideal para proyectos diversos, especialmente en contextos internacionales y multiculturales como los que se encuentran en Workaway. Estoy convencido de que Silvia será una valiosa aportación para cualquier anfitrión o comunidad que busque enriquecer su espacio con prácticas de bienestar de alta calidad como las de ella.

We've spend wonderfull month in the hills of Güímar — many thanks to Alex and Yarina for welcoming us! Vladimir (and his two amazing little girls!) taught us so much about organic farming and how to transform its products, all in a joyful and caring atmosphere. We loved our fellow volunteers (bonjour Irina ;) !), the peacefulness of the place, and the beautiful sunrises overlooking the sea. The little harbor of Puertito, just a few kilometers away, is full of charm :) We would definitely come back without hesitation! Alice & Julien-Yacine

Mon expérience ici était vraiment agréable, l'endroit en lui même est calme et reposant avec de magnifiques coucher de soleil. Le travail demandé était simple et laissait largement assez de temps pour surfer. Promener Wilson toujours enthousiaste était plutot un plaisir! cuisine bien équipée. Rafael est quelqu'un de très ouvert d'esprit et c'est agréable de discuter, ou de partager une session de surf avec lui. Lobitos est l'endroit parfait pour le surf!

Joe was a great help, especially in the garden planting blubs, weeding and mowing. Coco, my dog, became hist shadow and loved all the walks they went on. Happy to recommend Joe

Words won't be able to describe the time I had. I was lucky to spend around 4 weeks in this wonderful little home Zach and Vale have created in Southern AZ. During this time, I got to dig new garden beds, do some painting, learn natural building with adobe on their new indoor shower and outdoor bathroom whilst also spending some fun time with their two daughters. In my last week, I was even able to welcome two adorable little goats into the world! Besides, Zach and Vale's deep commitment to their busy life whilst maintaining deep kindness, ambition and insight has left me so so soo inspired. They are truly awesome and amazing humans. I hope to become close to what they are someday. I was also lucky enough to partake in two homeswaps and one seedswap which redefined and strengthened some of the attributes I imagined to be related to community. This diverse group of people shared an strong sense of mutualism and care for one another that I'd rarely experienced before. Lastly, the town of Bisbee is super funky and cool and I really recommend going to Chiricahua Ntl Park!

Heather was very flexible and accommodating during our stay, and I learned how to use a weed whacker and she gave me some great gardening tips while I was there! We went with her to pub quiz night which was fun and she even came along when I played at an open mic night. She makes a great quiche as well. It's around a 40 minute walk to town but it is a nice walk, and Heather was kind enough to drop us off at various places.

What a joy to be around! She was communicative, a hard worker, and open to sharing and listening. Thanks for sharing meals and life conversations! You're welcome back here on the ridge anytime Bobbie!

Hola! First of all I want to be grateful to Dee and her Mom Spomenka's hospitality and how they treated me with lot of love and kindness during all my stay (for about 3 weeks last summer)... Dee took care about our needs as volunteers and allowed us to make suggestions to develop some projects like the vegetable garden, orchard and soil improvement... Mostly I was in charge of tidying up and organising spaces, since the property was under renovation... Specially thanks for the support and all the arrangements that allowed to play music at a concert, for me one of the best moments in my life, unforgettable and even recorded! I hope we can meet again soon and would love to see all the improvements in your projects! Thank you so much for everything! Hvala Puno!

Our stay at the monastery was truly wonderful. We found a peaceful place to pause, breathe, and organise our work in a gentle rhythm. What meant the most was the strong sense of community, the genuine kindness, and the deep spiritual atmosphere that shaped each day. We leave grateful and enriched.
