Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 78

Eva stayed few weeks at home and we really enjoy our time together. She made great compote with the figs (we had tons !) and helped a lot with the kids. She also cooked some great German recipes. Our daughters loved sharing time with Eva. We had great conversations and had some good laugh together. She is also very independent and open minded. Thanks a lot again to Eva for all your help ! We will be very happy to have you back ! All the best for you !

It might be that you are the lucky ones who will host Yoed one day. ;) So here comes our recommendation from deep within our hearts. Honestly, it’s not easy to let him move on – even after just two months of living with us and volunteering in our family. What a gift. From day one, he was a true asset: reliable, polite, honest, and wonderfully caring with our kids. Daily tasks? He simply joined in – without many words. He knows how to use tools, and he was also doing the dishes and helping out whenever we needed support. Now he continues his journey. So if anyone needs help – in the household, the garden, or daily life – we can wholeheartedly recommend him. He doesn’t drink (maybe a glass of wine once in a while), doesn’t smoke, is sporty, strong, and contributes with a deeply respectful attitude. A real jackpot! 🍀 We even invited him to celebrate Christmas with us – and without any doubt, this was one of the best decisions we could have made. The universe gifted us this wonderful young man. Dear Workaway, we are so grateful to have had this opportunity for cultural exchange. Go for it, lovely people all over the world. Yoed, we wish you all the best for your upcoming journey. May you be blessed, may you be happy, may you be safe, and always open-minded to discover life in all its beauty. 🙏✨ Thank you for all the effort you made. You are a special and wonderful soul.

Liza's and Alex were the most incredible hosts. they went above and beyond for my French language learning and the tasks during the day were minimal. not to mention the accommodation was so beautiful and a real chance to take a breather in the countryside. couldn't recommend them enough ☺️

Haruka and Ai were such a pleasure to host for the 10 days stay. They are disciplined and self starters. They take joy in their allotted tusks and seems to be always in a very good mood and happy.They turned the compost heap on the first day in the garden. It was challenging but to my surprise it was done very well. This is not a small task our compost piles. They help a lot with the planting and of course with the weeding, its a big garden but didn't seem to frighten them. Hanging the Christmas Lights on the big Pohutakawa tree was fun task but challenging as the tree is very big and a lot of climbing is needed. Helping in the house was tremendous and for that I really want to give our special thanks. And not to forget Sveijk. Our dog is not the easiest to have around but they managed to take control of him. Taking him out several times a day and look after him. It was so nice to see the bond growing between them and the dog. I am sue he will miss them now they are gone and so are we. Thank you for you both and I hope we will meet again. Wishing you safe travels. Margaret and Avi

Living and working alongside Guy and Pasha was one of the most meaningful experiences of our travels — memories we will never forget. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and treated like part of the family. They put so much effort into making you feel at home. The bedroom is spacious, clean, and very comfortable, and the outdoor chill area was a highlight for us — a sofa, a huge hammock, and stunning views over the mountains and garden. Guy and Pasha are two of the most genuine and kind people we have ever met. They speak about life with real love and passion and are incredibly generous with their knowledge. Pasha shared so much about health, mindfulness, and wellbeing, giving us new perspectives we had never considered. Guy is a wealth of knowledge in horticulture, biodynamics, and organic farming, and was always happy to teach, lend books, and answer every question in detail. The work was enjoyable, varied, and never exhausting — safety was always a priority. Alongside the work, we had so much fun, from cooling off in their private creek to sharing delicious meals full of laughter and stories. We learned so much, gained valuable skills, and left feeling inspired. We stayed for two weeks and wish we could have stayed longer. We are incredibly grateful to have met Guy, Pasha, and beautiful Ava, and cannot recommend this stay enough ❤️ Can't wait to see you all again one day!!

These women are amazing, very proactive and comprehensive. Whatever project they put their hands on, is guaranteed success. You can trust them in every sense.

Adalis looked after our house and chickens for three weeks while we were away. It all went very smooth. Adalis was trust worthy and very easy to communicate with. Before we left for our trip we had some days together with Adalis. She cooked us a lovely Venezuelan meal and we noticed she was very easy going and adaptive.

Irene and Emanuele were excellent in all ways - professional, well organized, self-directed, worked well with a team, and produced amazing content! We were fortunate to collaborate with them.

Cecilia was a great help during the time she spent at our foundation. From the beginning, she showed strong dedication, responsibility and a genuine willingness to help wherever needed. She later took on the role of volunteers’ coordinator, becoming an important reference point for both the team and the volunteers. She demonstrated deep compassion and a sincere love for the dogs, and was able to calmly approach and gain the trust of even the more challenging cases. Her presence was always positive and reassuring, both for the dogs and for the people around her. Cecilia worked consistently and reliably, often going beyond her assigned role when necessary, always keeping the dogs’ wellbeing as a priority and consistently offering support whenever needed. We truly hope she will be able to visit us again in the future, as she is greatly missed by the team and the dogs.

We stayed on the farm and had a really great experience. Tiago and Claudia are very open-minded, friendly, and truly do their best to make you feel at home and comfortable. Everything was very easygoing and fun, including helping out on the farm. If you love animals, this is the perfect place — and it's also ideal if you want to gain some real farm experience. The accommodation was very clean, new and beautiful. We really felt at home so quickly. We even had the chance to visit Lisbon, and you can always ask Claudia and Tiago anything — they are very patient, relaxed, and helpful. You can really feel how much they care for their animals; they give everything for them, and listening to their stories truly warms your heart. We already miss them and the animals so much and can only highly recommend this place. Thank you so much!💞

Yoann al principio fue muy silencioso y tímido, pero con el paso de los días y de la convivencia en casa pude empezar a conocerlo mejor! Yoann fue incondicional conmigo y las labores de la finca, podía estar tranquila porque sabía que aún si no le decía que tarea realizar, él encontraba cosas por hacer en la finca para avanzar, no necesitaba estar con él todo el tiempo, me sentí muy feliz con su ayuda y compañía, es una persona con un alto sentido de la responsabilidad, cumplido, tranquilo y servicial. Creo que es una persona muy resiliente y en la búsqueda real de lo espiritual, de construirse como ser humano y de aprender cada día. Estuvo apoyándome en diversas terapias y tratamientos con diferentes medicinas y fue muy abierto de mente para comprender lo que pasaba con las personas para estar al servicio. Eso fue muy valioso para mi. ! También me pareció maravilloso las sorpresas que tuvo para la familia, cuando regresé de viaje había hecho un jardín con flores hermoso, otro día le dije que quería un pequeño estanque para peces y luego lo estaba construyendo, ¡cocina muy bien! resuelve la alimentación con lo que tengas en casa y agradezco por toda la ayuda que me brindo en todo lo que siempre debo hacer, desde las labores de la finca, limpieza, cuidado de los niños, hacer compras. Es un ser con el que realmente puedes contar. Entre otras cosas tiene una excelente relación con los niños, aquí los niños lo buscaban para jugar con él y nos divertimos bastante, también les enseñó muchas cosas divertidas como hacer trampas para atrapar gallinas y a cuidar de los animales. Yoann como todos los voluntarios que han venido a casa ahora es parte de esta familia! Nos dio pena tu partida, pero estoy segura de que pronto nos volveremos a ver, Kenai, Arawi y Amaru te mandan muchos abrazos. Gracias de corazón por dejar tu huella en este territorio y en los corazones de muchos. Gracias Yoann por todo! me siento muy feliz de haberte conocido y poder compartir este tiempo en familia. Buen viaje!!! que sean muchas mas aventuras en tu camino (no creo que tantas como aquí en Colombia jajajaja) un abrazo.

We had a very great experience... Laura is an incredibly friendly, funny, and open-minded person who really makes you feel welcome from the very beginning. The house is absolutely beautiful, and the dogs are so sweet and lovely. You can always ask Laura anything, and she truly does her best to make sure you feel comfortable. We felt at home very quickly. The room and the bathroom were both beautiful, and we were very satisfied with everything. We had a wonderful time and can only recommend this place to others.💞

Staying with Ines, Doug and their gorgeous doggies was an absolute pleasure! Their home is warm, inviting and such a cool space. Their garden and natural pool is so special. They love company and enjoy the help that you can offer, celebrating any skills and talents you can bring! They love to cook and I tried some incredible traditional food from their combined rich cultural backgrounds. A truly special place that I have returned to on a few ocassions!

We had a wonderful stay at Ignacio's property. It's a tucked away place surrounded by mountains (a stunning view in the sunset), a local family of cats on the property, and plenty of land, which feels like a secret garden! Ignacio's project is in its early stages, so we spent most of our time clearing land, but he was really chilled out about our workload, as it was rather hot during our stay. He unfortunately couldn't be around all the time due to work commitments, but we had a great time with him in the evenings.

Rickie stayed at the farm for about a month in Autumn 2025. She was cheerful, polite, tidy and good with the horses. A good rider and a hard worker. Definitely recommended!

My experience with Mo and Kiki was absolutely amazing. We mainly house and pet sitted for them while staying with other workawayers on their property and it was absolutely beautiful. We had dinner together every night, were free to roam around their property with the dogs and cats, and only had to do two hours of work per day since we paid for our own food. It was a very nice way to end my trip after being in Europe for around 3 months since it was nothing but insanely peaceful. We also got to explore the town of Tortosa and meet Mo and Kiki's friends from the community. Definitely one of the highlights of my trip and highly recommend staying at their place. Hopefully we will be back someday :)

Gloria stayed at the farm for a few weeks in Autumn 2025. She was cheerful, polite, tidy, good with the horses....and a great cook! Highly recommended!

Giulio was a great addition to our team. Punctual, he works hard on solo activities and also as part of a team, he is sociable and friendly. He always did a great job and was very quick. He was always willing to help other volunteers and staff. We definitely recommend him and he is welcome at any time in our hostel. Safe travels

Meri from Brittany is one of a kind. He is really nice, kind, genuine, and hard-working. He was a great addition to our team and always did a good job at the hostel. He listened carefully to instructions and learned fast. He was always considerate with volunteers, staff, locals, and guests, and everyone around him. He brightens the place with his presence and sense of humour, and he is always up for fun games and activities. We wish to have more people like him. We certainly recommend him to other hosts in any situation, and he is always welcome at our hostel at any time. A well-presented lad and a great bagpiper player. Best of luck and save travels

There is always light at the end of the tunnel. While juggling between university and workaway, Estel has helped me with various tasks, including workshop, wall sanding, tile making. At the time I did not have energy to organise any other activities due to a busy work/life schedule. Estel also posed for my students for a life drawing class (of course... Wearing clothes) character wise Estel is a social person and always in a positive mood, she might be a bit of clumsy but not in a bad way 😁 it forms part of her pippi long stockings or Dora the Esploradora character! Thanks Estel for your help! It was a great pleasure hosting you and you are always welcome!
