Workaway Bewertungen und Feedback.

Adelé is a lovely person and we really enjoyed having her stay with us for a week in our home in Norway. She is a very capable person, mature for her age. A reliable worker—she did everything we asked of her (and more) with a calm, positive attitude and without needing much direction. She is also a great cook and prepared several delicious meals for our family, which we really appreciated. Adelé has a quiet and easygoing nature, but is still great company—you can have lovely, relaxed conversations. She was also great with our children—kind, patient, and well used to being with children. As a family with young children, we especially valued how independent and low-maintenance she was. She fit very naturally into our home and brought a calm, steady presence. Adelé you are welcome anytime in our home in Ireland or Norway! Take care!

Andrea and Eleanora was here for 2 weeks and they worked really hard. They could find their way around a offen startet working on their own if I was busy other places. I hope they learned some normal mainatence skills here. Very nice people and I wish them all well in the future. BR Heidi

I will highly recommend these 2 nice people. They where here and helped my with painting a circus wagon and omg can they paint. I also enjoyed their company with there view on life and the world. We also had some very good laughs. I wish them all well in the future. BR Heidi

Meaghan & Cliff (also known as David) stayed relatively short but during those days we worked well together (making compost, mulching the orchard and making a flagpole from a tree) and had fun. They are easy to host and easy communicators! Would recommend them, Paul & Yvonne

I think that I cannot have the right words to describe these days passed together. Mark and Diane made me part of the family. They were more than host, they taught me what means the American Life. I always had the pleasure to try that and now I can’t say thanks enough to them. It will not a goodbye but see you soon. I recommend them without any doubt

Thank you, Broderic, for your thoughtful words. It was a pleasure having you with us. Your experience in organic and regenerative farming showed clearly in the way you worked—with clarity, discipline, and a strong sense of purpose. The team appreciated your involvement, and you blended naturally into the daily rhythm of the farm. Knowing the intent behind your travels—documenting sustainable agriculture and immersing yourself in rural life—added a deeper dimension to your time here. I personally valued our interactions and only wish I was present for a more immersive exchange to learn from your experiences and perspectives. Wishing you the very best with your journey and your book. You’ll always be welcome here. volunteers are an integral part of the place and we cherish every hand that has help build our oasis. thank you once again for being part of our team

Terhi is a lovely and kind person, and it was a pleasure hosting her. From the beginning, we had clear and good communication about tasks and expectations, both before and during her stay. This really helped create a smooth and trusting collaboration. She took care of my daughter with warmth and responsibility, and when we were away on a business trip, she looked after my dogs diligently, truly going above and beyond for their wellbeing. This gave me great peace of mind. She works very independently and is extremely reliable. She has a calm and positive presence, while also valuing her own space and time, which is important to respect and contributes to a balanced co-living experience. Overall, I’m very happy with our collaboration and would definitely recommend her to future hosts.

It was such a pleasure to host Judith and Adria!! Lovely people to have around. They completed there tasks thoroughly and thoughtfully, and were capable of many things from heavy work in the garden to childcare. Would highly recommend them to any potential hosts. Gracias amigos!!

Emery joined us to support our social media management for the yoga retreat, but it quickly became clear that she brought so much more to the table. From day one, she arrived with enthusiasm, initiative, and a genuine desire to contribute. She didn’t wait to be told what to do, she jumped right in and made herself incredibly helpful from the start. Her eye for design is exceptional, and she approaches everything with a high level of professionalism and dedication. The quality of her work consistently exceeded our expectations, and she played a key role in creating some truly amazing projects during her time with us. Beyond her skills, Emery is simply a beautiful soul with a kind and generous heart. Working with her was not only productive but also a lot of fun. Over time, she became more than a volunteer—she became a friend. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and wholeheartedly recommend her. We’re already looking forward to the day we meet again.

Emmanuelle and Marika volunteered here and quickly became invaluable members of our teaching team. They taught English to marginalized and underprivileged students in our rural community with warmth, creativity, and genuine care. Their lessons were engaging, well-prepared, and tailored to meet the needs of learners of different ages and levels — helping students gain confidence and enthusiasm for learning. In addition to classroom teaching, they participated in our agroecological farm tour initiative, supporting the school’s efforts to raise income to sponsor children who cannot afford the school fee. Their involvement in the tours — from helping organize visits to interacting warmly with visitors and learners — made a real difference to our fundraising efforts and strengthened community ties. Emmanuelle and Marika are reliable, respectful, and culturally sensitive. They showed patience, flexibility, and a positive attitude in all tasks, and they connected wonderfully with students and staff alike. We are deeply grateful for their commitment and the lasting, positive impact they made on our school and community. Any host would be fortunate to welcome them. Highly recommended!

Biagio volunteered here and made an outstanding, lasting impact. He taught English to students in rural areas with patience, energy, and creativity, quickly building strong relationships with both students and staff. Beyond his teaching duties, Biagio noticed several bright children who could not continue because their families couldn’t afford the small school fees. He took the initiative to raise funds and set up school sponsorships so those students could stay in class and keep learning. His compassion, reliability, and hands-on approach went far beyond what we expected from a short-term volunteer. Biagio is respectful, adaptable, and always willing to help wherever needed. He communicates clearly, shows great cultural sensitivity, and brings a positive, can-do attitude every day. We’re deeply grateful for his contribution — he helped change lives and strengthened our community. Any project would be lucky to welcome him. Highly recommended!

The place is a true oasis in an arid landscape. The garden is manicured, and the work day was the most well structured of any Workaway I've been involved with. Often with volunteer projects, it's difficult to be certain if you're actually helping, or if you're a distraction. But here, I felt like a valued member of the team. I stayed for 12 days, and I felt useful and well informed from day one. Pravin is very communicative and easy to work for. Dharamveer and Shankar were always quite helpful and they were both kind enough to invite me into their homes. For those who truly want to contribute in a meaningful way, this is a great place to go. Also, this is a great place to learn Hindi, as most of the staff and the villagers of Manpura Macheri have limited English. Thanks for hosting me!

Ida came to our farm as a volunteer not just once, but twice, and each time she became a true part of our family. She is a very kind-hearted and gentle person who brings positive energy everywhere. She helped us in cooking, planting, harvesting, and cleaning with great care and responsibility. She always showed respect, love, and dedication in every task. We really enjoyed her company and felt very comfortable with her. Ida is a wonderful human being, and we highly recommend her 100% to any host. We truly hope to see her again.

Naomi and Shira stayed with us for about two weeks. They are both very relaxed and creative people. Naomi is a very talented artist, and the painting she created on wood was truly beautiful. Shira made a special type of Israeli bread for us, and our daughter even said it was “the best bread in the world”! They also built a storage box for our living room as a DIY project. This wasn’t something we asked for—they came up with the idea themselves to make the space easier to organize. From design to construction, they completed it in a short time and created something truly wonderful. They also helped us with physical work, including cutting small trees, and handled many tasks with great effort. During their stay, we had shared meals together, and they took the lead in cooking. They were very thoughtful about what could be made with the available ingredients and always prepared delicious meals. They even made pita bread from scratch, which allowed us all to share and enjoy Israeli culture together. We also shared many lovely moments—having bonfires, doing stretching together, and playing with our daughter. Thank you so much for coming and spending time with us. We wish you both a wonderful journey ahead!

We had Matteo stay with us for 3 weeks. He was a pleasure to have around. He got stuck into lots of manual digging for our new toilets then tried his hand with some carpentry building us a surf rack. Overall vibes were great and I'd recommend him to any project big or small.

They were a delight to have, I only wish they had stayed longer! These are the best and nicest workers you will find.

My experience was calm and a bit different from what I expected, partly because of the time of year I visited (a lot of rain), which changed the type of activities. Instead of gardening, I mostly helped with more manual tasks in the house, so I would recommend asking in detail beforehand to have clear expectations and read thoroughly what Heico has written in the description. Heico is someone you can have interesting conversations with, especially about sustainability but also about movies and music. His project truly reflects the idea of “going back to the basics,” which can be very meaningful if you are looking for a more grounded and simple lifestyle experience. When it comes to the work, he has a clear way of how he likes things to be done and tends to guide tasks closely, depending on your personality, this can feel either comfortable or a bit challenging. At the same time, he is flexible in aspects like timing and resting. The experience is quite authentic in the sense living conditions are simple (for example, a compost toilet), and the work can be physically demanding, so it may not be for everyone, especially if you are looking for something more comfortable. I visited during the rainy season, so things were quieter and there was less interaction with other people, but I still had the chance to explore the surroundings, which are very beautiful, and spend time with Ripley and Chomsky, who are very friendly. Overall, it can be a meaningful experience if you connect with this kind of lifestyle and come with openness and flexibility.

Manuel was a great fit and a very helpful presence on the farm. Although his stay was short, he completed every task to our full satisfaction and demonstrated a strong work ethic throughout. Thanks to his prior experience with farm work, he quickly understood what needed to be done and carried out tasks efficiently. He also got along very well with everyone here, making him a pleasure to have around. He will always be welcome back!

Maicol fue un voluntario excepcional y superó completamente todas nuestras expectativas durante su estadía. Desde el primer día demostró una actitud proactiva, gran responsabilidad y una disposición increíble para ayudar en todo lo que fuera necesario dentro del hostal. Se adaptó muy rápido a la dinámica de trabajo y siempre cumplió sus tareas con un nivel de detalle y calidad destacable, ya sea en limpieza, organización, apoyo a los huéspedes o en labores generales. Algo que realmente lo diferencia es su capacidad de anticiparse a las necesidades, sin necesidad de que se le estén dando instrucciones constantemente. Además, es una persona muy respetuosa, positiva y fácil de llevar, lo que hizo que encajara perfectamente tanto con el equipo como con los huéspedes, generando un ambiente muy grato en todo momento. Tiene excelente comunicación, trabaja de forma eficiente y mantiene una actitud impecable incluso en momentos de mayor carga laboral. Sin duda, recomiendo a Maicol al 100% para cualquier anfitrión en Workaway. Es una persona confiable, comprometida y con muchas ganas de hacer las cosas bien. Fue un verdadero agrado tenerlo con nosotros y siempre tendrá las puertas abiertas para volver. ¡Muchas gracias por todo, Maicol!

Elisa and I stayed with Cam & Bill for 3 weeks and really enjoyed our time here. Types of work varied from day to day and ranged from house keeping to outdoor maintenance. A real highlight was getting to day trip with everyone up to the wombat sanctuary for some volunteer work! Bill and Cam are very fine people and made us feel welcome from the start. The accommodations are really nice - they have multiple rooms available and a really cool shack which is a great hangout spot! There are a ton of absolutely gorgeous beaches in the area. Bill and Cam let us borrow their car so we did a lot of beach trips as well as excursions to the nearby town of Ulladulla which we definitely recommend checking out. If you are down to put some work in and can hold your own, this would be a good place for you!
