Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

It was a real pleasure to host Sophie. She was always polite, friendly and keen to help with any task. A really lovely person. We highly recommend to any host. Thank you.

Karolina came for a short stay at our home. She is an excellent house guest and was very helpful around the house. She gives her best to any task and it was very enjoyable having her here. She explored the area and too soon the short stay was up, it went very quicklly. Best of luck Karolina and thank you!

Durant ces 8 jours j'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à m'occuper du "grand"jardin et de la belle maison de Françoise. malgré des petits soucis de santé, Françoise a pu me faire découvrir st Claude et basse terre et me conter sa longue expérience de la Guadeloupe. je reviendrai,il me reste la Soufrière à visiter ...

I could say so much more than what other messages have already said so well, so I'll summarize by focusing on the essentials. It's a real privilege to spend time in Battambang, at the school, with Kamnat and Rath. It's a true privilege and a joy to be able to do what you can and what you want to contribute to the school, thanks to Kamnat and Rath's flexibility, understanding, and warm welcome. Kamnat is an example of humanity, and we can never thank him enough for his dedication and ongoing commitment to the school and to others. They have both established a real institution here, and they are eager to continue and grow together. This place is a complete package where you feel so at home. I am grateful to have experienced all of this and to have met all these people, these unforgettable children who shine brighter than the sun... I would love to be there again, that's for sure, and I sincerely hope that many more volunteers will be there to ensure the continuation of all of this.

My experience in kanoni gomba was amazing, Samuel and Lucy my host made my 3 weeks there a very diverse and unique experience,going to several schools in the area and seeing the smile of the kids was priceless something I will never forget,also was very comfortable as Samuel is always there for of any issue there was from airport pickup,money exchange,food choices and Lucy is a great Cook. also been lucky enough to pass most of my time at pride school with head director Nagulo(that is also Samuels neighbour) our big mama (what a leggend )teacher Joseph,David ,Rita chef jophenine,and all the I Bazzungus I was lucky to share this experience with,truly recommend this host to anybody it was my first time in Africa and the saying.

Her house is amazing and we felt really comfortable and laura is a GREAT cook! wooow her food is amazing!!! we always had enough food and the work was super fun.🌱🌳 everyone would love this place!

My Workaway stay in Croatia was a truly enriching experience that I will remember fondly. I had the chance to be part of an off-grid community, where I not only helped in the garden, cooked, and took care of a few cats, but most importantly met many inspiring people. :) I am very grateful to have had this experience and to have been part of this community. It allowed me to discover a completely new rhythm for myself and to see life from a different perspective. From the bottom of my heart, I am thankful to have been part of this community—for all the conversations, the laughter, the silence, and the shared moments. Thank you Filippo, Joe, Marius, Dajana, and Leon for this intense and meaningful time. ❤️🌞 See you and warm regards, Nadine :)

It was really a great experience to host and meet with Gabriela. She is beautiful inside and outside. She is into deep conversations, polite, and enjoys so much being around children. She also has nice stories to tell relevant to her work, and life experience in general as well. Hasta la vista señorita ;)

They are a friendly family, eager to learn and collaborate. They respected the agreements and were a great help. New friends for us😁 I highly recommend hosting them

Just spent a magical week at Zygs place. We did so many fun uplifting life skill things together which I truly enjoyed. I met another first time volunteer there also and we helped to prepare the greenhouse for planting seeds, chopped firewood,worked on the veg garden as well as planting trees. Countryside sustainability master class with the kindest teacher Ziggy.Great chats were had while preparing and cooking food together over the fire. So many new and exciting experiences were had with Ziggy. Thank you so much Ziggy for your kindness until we meet again take care. Lorccan.

We had a great time here. It’s really beautiful and peaceful place. 🌺🌵☀️Santi and Lily were very kind and open. We were lucky to arrive just during workshop about bioconstruction. Workshop was amazing and we learned a lot from it. There was practical part, where we all worked together and could experience different techniques. There was also theoretical part in the evening. Hopefully we can use this knowledge soon! We also joined trip to Colca Canyon. The trip was incredible. Santi told us lot of interesting information and stories. He showed us how to approach the mountains and to connect with them. The views along the way and waterfall itself were breathtaking. After hike we relaxed in hot springs right next to our accommodation and watched starts. Hike can be a bit challenging, some parts are quite steep. Whole hike can take arround 10-12 hours but you stay few hours by the waterfall so hike itself is not that long. Overall I recommend milion times to join Santis project and also other activities. I wish we could stay longer. But you never know maybe someday in future. Thank you Santi and Lily. It was a pleasure.🙏✨

Fay is a positive person and a fast learner, it was nice having her on board. She helped with one of our NGO's projects and also assisted me with my Art classes. While hers was a short stay, she is more than welcome to come back any time. Thanks Fay!

I just spent 2 and a half weeks in Malta volunteering at Clive's place and I had an absolutely brilliant time. Clive is a kind, generous and creative person. He understands what you are good at and uses that for your volunteering tasks. some days I helped with the tile workshop and other days I would be life modelling or helping around the house. It was a really great experience and I would definitely go back. Malta is also a very beautiful country and a lovely island to explore. Thanks so much Clive for a great volunteering experience!

Michiel was my first Workawayer this year- and I was the first host after reviving his account. I contacted him first (in December already) and he really felt the call to come to stay in March, after the winter season, for one week. There was a lot to do at that time, it needed his strong arms and hands, as storm Kristin had struck basically everywhere (house and garden). He helped with cleaning the area, cutting trees, burning branches, bringing down the new sauna into the garden... Unfortunately, the private handyman did not make it in time to be supported by Michiel and teach him some of this knowledge. But I am happy that Michiel - coming with his own car - got to see the area and join the local network for a circle. His food habits were very compatible and we had most of the meals together, having very nice chats. Unfortunately - as time went by so fast - we did not have the chance to play music together. Next time! Michiel also got along very well with the other helper. He is welcome to come back any time - as a friend for visiting and seeing the (hopefully) progress, a helper, ... Until then, moito obrigada and best of luck!

Very nice place! The work is very chill and the manager is so nice:)

Julio is amazing, he's a good teacher, he's genuine and wise, I have learned so much about coffee, Ecuadorian culture and life. He will make you feel just like home, he will cook for the volunteers and work on the field with them, and he will genuinely interests himself in them, asking questions and getting to know them. I have rarely found a Workaway with such an honest host that really makes you want to stay as you truly feel part of something. Hoping to come back one day!

You spent 64 days with us in the Central Highlands, fully immersing herself in our daily routine. From waking up early for learning support programme, Science class teaching and computer lessons, her dedication was unmatched. She was also a great help with first aid, sports, and various school activities. Her interaction with our boarders was so meaningful that they truly feel her absence, and we all hope she can return soon. Our Grade 4 to 6 learners will especially cherish the memories of their computer lessons and the first-ever school newsletter they created with her guidance. Thank you, Maider, for your kind heart and your genuine passion for our children. You are always welcome back!

Paul is a very kind person, interested and open minded. Liberal enough to let other peoples views stand, even he has perhaps an other view. He did integrate him very well in family live. He loves games (real and virtual), but especially board games. He did really good working with us and sometimes also alone: bringing old hay from the mountain down, cutting wood in the barn. Cooking and doing the dishes, collecting wild leek in the forest. And the work was done in good quality and very fast. Thank you very much! And you are welcome to come back. Werner and Monika

Arthur stayed with us for about three weeks, and he was honestly one of the best Workawayers we have ever hosted. He is incredibly competent, hardworking, polite, and tidy, and having him here was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. What really stood out about Arthur was his amazing work ethic and initiative. He didn’t need much guidance, just saw what needed to be done and got on with it efficiently and thoroughly. He helped so much with kitchen cleanups, always leaving everything spotless, and he was consistently respectful, considerate, and easy to have around in our home. He did a fantastic job in the garden and prepared the whole area for spring, which was a huge help for us. He also repaired the railings on our treehouse and made it safe for children again, something we appreciated enormously. On top of that, he painted our sauna and made so many valuable improvements around the house that we were genuinely amazed by how much he accomplished in just three weeks. Arthur is not only highly skilled and reliable, but also the kind of person who makes life easier simply by being there. He brought great energy, a thoughtful attitude, and an exceptional standard to everything he did. We were truly sad to see him leave. We can recommend Arthur with absolute enthusiasm to any future host. He is a real gem, and anyone would be very lucky to have him.

Ed was a delight to host. He was helpful, personable and complimented my food. He worked hard in hot conditions and was a lovely young man to have around. I would highly recommend him.
