Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback. - page 102

This was my very first Workaway, and I was so lucky to meet the perfect host from the start! Antoine always gave me missions I could do, and he was very thoughtful and caring. He also gave me plenty of free time, so I could enjoy the beautiful city of Albi, which I really fell in love with. I had a great time living with this fun family, and I even got to make pizzas, which became a wonderful memory! I was also very inspired by their organic lifestyle, staying true to their own values. Thank you so much for everything! Next time, I’ll come back for Laure’s Gyoza🥟 !

Nous avons eu le plaisir de recevoir Zachary chez nous plusieurs semaines. Il s'est immédiatement mêlé à notre quotidien. Il est très sympathique, intéressant et vaillant. Sa présence est à la fois empathique et discrète. Il est généreux, attentionné et il émane de lui une douceur chaleureuse. Ses connaissances sont aussi vastes que son envie d'apprendre et les discussions ont toujours été riches. Nous avons aussi beaucoup ri. Si vous avez la chance de remarquer son profil, n'hésitez pas. Merci Zachary pour ton séjour chez nous. Nous sommes heureux de t'avoir rencontré et nous espérons te revoir un jour. Marie-Laure, Franz et Chaussette

Noah was outstanding. He had mild construction experience, but his eagerness to learn and his physical strength more than made up for it. We was curious and often said: "How can I help?" with a smile on his face, which was truly appreciated. He was respectful of our home situation and bed times and also patient with our two dogs. I would highly recommend Noah for anyone looking for a helping hand and I will dearly miss his assistance!

Harry joined us as a volunteer and quickly made a positive impression with his curiosity, initiative, and friendliness. He showed genuine interest in getting to know others, often asking personal questions in a polite and respectful way that felt more like curiosity and conversation than intrusion. This helped him build rapport with both guests and fellow volunteers. During his time with us, he contributed to several hands-on projects including painting bricks for a new garden area, organizing the workshed, raking leaves, and sorting through DIY project materials. He approached each task with enthusiasm and care, helping to improve the functionality and appearance of our shared spaces. Harry also demonstrated good social skills, easily connecting with others and fostering a warm, welcoming atmosphere. He was a positive presence in the group and worked well both independently and as part of the team. Overall, he was a helpful and personable volunteer whose efforts were appreciated across multiple areas of the project.

Heike stayed with us for about two weeks and it was very nice. She was super flexible and of great help! She helped with everyday tasks, also in the kitchen, and was super nice also with our kids. After we had shown her around, she and another guest who stayed at our place at the same time, would easily find themselves tasks to do. Some were small and seasonal (like collecting nuts), some were bigger and really made a big difference in the garden. Their biggest achievement was to build a sun trap from scratch. We had old roof tiles piled up and they did a great job with those and a hole lot of mud :) Heike is warmly welcomed to stay with us any time again!

I spent the whole month of May in this beautiful place and i'm delighted with this experience! I felt very lucky to be a waitress in Albania, the owner of the place was super super nice with us and always trying to help, I really recommend this workaway! Thank you to my albanian and international team! PS: I think if I got to go back I would go in the high season because I like work with a lot of customers! Also don't forget that this is another culture and they might not have the same vision on daily subjects (for example women's role in society). Anyway I loved my stay!

I had the true privilege of welcoming Azadeh and Shahriar to our ranch. What a gift they are: two extraordinary souls who radiate joy, respect, and kindness, with hearts that are genuinely in the right place. 🌻 They jumped in with love and energy, helping me move hay for the horses, cleaning and transporting manure to enrich the land, preparing the fields so oats can be sown for the horses’ winter greens, and moving stones at the fences. They worked tirelessly, never once shying away from a task, whether it was pulling weeds, pruning trees, or simply lending a hand wherever it was needed. Every action they took carried a sense of care, contribution, and excellence. Together, we shared moments of fun and culture, they got a chance to see the vibrant festivities of Moros y Cristianos in Jijona, the beauty of the beach, a trip to Castella, the serenity of the mountains, and the heart of Jijona’s old town and of course, we went to a typical Spanish restaurant too. They embraced every experience with openness and gratitude, making those moments even more special. After a dreadful experience earlier this year, Azadeh and Shahriar restored my faith in the youth of today. They reminded me that there are still people in this world who show up with pure hearts, ready to receive and to give, to grow, and to share. For that, I am deeply grateful. Azadeh and Shahriar, you will always have a home here. I look forward to the day our paths cross again. Until then, keep shining, keep contributing, and never change the beautiful hearts that make you who you are.💖

Our time with Marie was not just an experience-it was truly coming home. From the very first moment, we felt embraced with love, care, and kindness. The rooms were spotless, the linens fresh, the air pure, and the view from the top-simply heaven on earth. Everything was cared for with the highest quality, always hygienic, always nature-friendly, and infused with Marie’s beautiful spirit. Marie is not only a wonderful host -she is a motherly soul, a guide, and a friend. She listened to us with the heart of a parent, cared for us beyond expectations, and treated us as part of her family. Every meal we shared together, every idea we exchanged, and every task we worked on as a team felt natural, joyful, and deeply connecting. She is flexible, kind, spiritual, and endlessly supportive. The two dogs, Jingles and Pinto, were pure joy to be around. Jingles, the smartest and cutest soul, and Pinto, so intelligent and friendly -we are already missing them dearly. They added so much love and laughter to our days. We also want to honor Robert, a 72-year-old gentle soul who visited every day to feed the dogs with sausages. His humility, kindness, and spiritual presence touched us deeply. Meeting him was like meeting a saintly friend - he connected with our hearts in a way we will never forget. This journey gave us not just memories, but bonds that will remain with us forever -with Marie, with Jingles and Pinto, and with Robert. We carry their love in our hearts and are already looking forward to meeting them again, sharing meals, working together, and celebrating the beauty of life.

Annika is an amazing young woman: independent, interesting, helpful and she has a good sense of humour. I was very happy to meet her. As I was very busy organising and running an artists' symposium, I couldn't give her as much attention as I would have liked. But thanks to her skills, she was able to complete many tasks entirely on her own. It would be lovely to meet her again.

We immediately felt at ease with Gäby and Venise! In the three weeks we were there we did a lot of outdoor jobs and building on the bus. We had great conversations and a lot of laughs. Gäby and Venise made us feel very welcome and relaxed. Back at home we still often think about those weeks, the amazing views and the cold swims in the fjord every morning. What a wonderful place with wonderful hosts!

Since Nico arrived, we have had a wonderful time. He is kind, easy to communicate with, and a very pleasant person to be around. He was always willing to help with different tasks, eager to learn about planting, and knows how to work with construction tools and equipment. During his stay, he supported us in a variety of jobs around the property, such as installing trims in our roof, helping us finish a fence, preparing beds for our vegetable garden, planting new crops, and doing general maintenance. We highly recommend Nico to any future hosts — he is hardworking, reliable, and great company. We wish him all the best for the rest of his trip and studies!

Our stay at the Pousada was a nice discovery, with its beautiful garden, breathtaking view on the ocean and colorful art all around it is a little corner of paradise. Work schedule was flexible and we could always have plenty of time to drink a nice coffee in between duties. The whole staff is kind, always with a smile :) Setiba area is quiet and well preserved, luscious nature is still intact over there. if you’re lucky you can see funny monkeys and Iguanas around! There is a cute bistro at around 5 minutes walking from the Pousada, they play live music and serve yummy cocktails :) To move around, Uber is always available and at a fair price. Saudade do Brazil <3

Pasé dos semanas en casa de Marc y Roser. Estaba un poco nerviosa porque era mi primer viaje sola y soy bastante tímida, pero enseguida me hicieron sentir muy cómoda. Roser es muy simpática y me encantó hablar con ella, sobre todo de su «deconstrucción como mujer». Ella estaba trabajando, así que hablé más con Marc. Me encantaron nuestras conversaciones y su forma de ver la vida, ¡fue realmente genial! El lugar es muy bonito y todo el mundo es muy simpático. Lo pasé muy bien allí, los paseos por las montañas y colinas son preciosos, las vistas son magníficas. Fue una experiencia increíble. Muchas gracias, espero volver pronto. <3

They were here for two weeks. But from day one, it felt like family. The dynamic was very organic and smooth. They blended in perfectly, without any problems. And what a joy to work with them. And what powerful people. We miss them already. Wonderfully heartwarming and open. Highly highly recommended :) Hope to see you soon again and wish you all the best!! <3

Piotr spent with us two weeks helping my partner with heavier tasks like collecting wood, clearing area by cutting wild bushes, hammering in poles for setting the fence, etc. He is very outgoing, likes company of people and animals, he sings and plays guitar. Even though he is carnivore he survived on vegetarian food and seemed to like it 😉. I can recommand Piotr for autonomus tasks as well a team worker. Thank you for your help and company. 😀

Mr. Sean is a truly animal-loving, caring, and compassionate person. During his short stay with us, he displayed great maturity, kindness, and respect in every interaction. Although his time was unexpectedly cut short due to visa issues, he made the most of it by building a meaningful connection with us and showing genuine concern for our community animals. We are especially grateful for his generous donation, which went directly towards purchasing food for the animals. His contribution made a real difference and reflected his sincere commitment to animal welfare. We wholeheartedly wish Mr. Sean the very best in all that he does. We truly hope to welcome him back in the near future so he can once again collaborate with us and continue supporting our community animals. He was a wonderful volunteer, and we are thankful for his kindness and generosity.

Dear Fiamma and Sustika! Reading your words filled our hearts with joy and gratitude. Having you with us was not only a blessing for the organization but also for the entire community. The love, respect, and sensitivity you showed in every step of your journey here made a real difference. Your impact on the preschool children and teachers was beautiful because your patience, creativity, and warmth gave them moments of joy in learning. With the women’s group, you brought not only support and encouragement, but also genuine friendship, sharing your skills while listening with such kindness and openness, that allowed for safe space! What truly touched us most, however, was the way you embraced the local culture and daily life. You allowed the community to welcome you wholeheartedly, and you quickly became part of the family. That mutual exchange of love and trust is what makes experiences like these so meaningful. Even though we are still young in some ways, people like you give us strength and inspiration to keep moving forward by building our safe space for creating a world a kinder one. Thank you for being such wonderful Agents of Change, for your energy, your generosity, and above all for the love you shared with everyone here. You will always have a home with us, and we hope to see you again soon! With all our gratitude and affection, The whole team and community

Izzie & Julia spent with us two weeks and I count them among my best helpers ever. They are very communicative, responsible, proactive and reliable in performing autonomusly all given tasks. Their help varied from cleaning windows, weeding, mulching strawberry beds, collecting herbs and flowers for drying, helping with cooking and making preserves, preparing fruits for vinegar, picking mashrooms etc. We also had interesting conversations and fun time at the table. They loved playing with our cats and dogs. I can truly recommand them both to any host. Thank you girls 🙏😀

From the very first moment, your energy and smile lit up the house and the community. It’s hard to believe this was your very first Workaway, because you fit in so naturally and gave so much of yourself. The children, the women, and everyone you met could feel your warmth, kindness, and openness. Your willingness to embrace daily life here, with all its joys and little challenges, showed a maturity beyond your years. We all miss you dearly and your presence left a big space in our family, but we’re also so grateful for the memories and impact you left behind. Thank you for sharing your heart with us, for your sensitivity and humor, and for reminding us how beautiful it is when someone arrives as a volunteer and leaves as family. Karibu tena, Linnea! You will always have a home here, and we can’t wait to welcome you back. Asante sana, with love from all of us !

We stayed at this place for two weeks, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The people working there are very welcoming and warm-hearted. We quickly felt like part of the team and truly enjoyed the daily life, which included great conversations, playful banter, physical work, playing games, and not least many wonderful shared meals. As for projects, we picked pears, did forestry work, cleaned yurts, worked in the garden, and helped with other everyday tasks. We brought our own campervan, which worked out really well, and there were all the facilities one could wish for – electricity, showers, laundry, and more. We will truly miss the place and all the amazing people we got to know! We highly recommend others to come to this place! ⭐️
