Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

really nice people and a lovely place to stay!

I was new to workaway and Olivia was everything I needed. She is an excellent communicator, friendly warm and very hardworking. She was a joy to have in my home as my companion. We cooked together and had long and open conversations. Olivia joined us at my daughter's Christmas lunch she was amazing on the day. She fitted in beautifully participating and engaging with a room of strangers. She was a tremendous assistance to my daughter, helping her with the dishes and cleaning up at the end of the day all without my instruction just her initiative. Olivia also encouraged me to walk. We walked for 2 hours on one occasion, something I hadn't done in a long time. She is gentile and charming I wish her well in her travels and hope to see her again one day. Olivia your the best - Maria xx

it was my first workaway and it was such a great experience!! if u like the sea, the sun, constant contact with a lot of people, this place is perfect for u!! not only the place, but also the people there, the hosts and the crew all, have been great to me, in a way I wasn't expecting. even though in high season u will work a lot, if u enjoy the job it won't be exhausting at all, but fun for sure, and u'll still have enough free time to enjoy Croatia and do whatever. Definitely suggested!

My stay with Sandra was a really special part of my time in New Zealand. From the beginning I felt very welcome and comfortable at her place. Sandra is a very kind, open and caring person and it was easy to feel at home with her. The work was fair and relaxed and I learned a lot about gardening and small building projects while also enjoying the calm and beautiful surroundings. The meals we shared were always delicious and it was great to spend time together and have good conversations. I am very grateful for this experience and the memories I take with me. I can honestly recommend staying with Sandra to anyone who is looking for a warm and peaceful Workaway experience.

Sven is a skilled and capable guy with a great work ethic. He enjoys working outdoors. He is sociable, friendly and helpful. I would recommend him to any Workaway Host considering his application. Welcome back anytime. All the best with the rest of your trip. Thank you for being such wonderful help. :-)

This has been a wonderful experience and one i highly recommend. Firstly, thank you so so much Hani for your impeccable communication, organising and support. you are an amazing person. Secondly. the host teacher and all her team were so friendly and made me feel extremely welcome and included me in all the activities. teachers day, sports and music etc etc. and thirdly, to the students, FANTASTIC. i had the opportunity to meet many classes of young people and to organise and run my own activities. There is plenty to do in the small town and I met up other volunteers around the area, which was great. The accommodation was excellent and very close to the school. I really hope I get the opportunity to return.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Oskar and Catherine stay with us for a few weeks. They are the sorts of people who within about 10 minutes you feel like you've known them forever. It was like welcoming friends into our house from the get go. They worked well, showed LOTS of initiative and were the sort of people that simply made life easy for us while they were here. Oskar is very thoughtful and is able to think up some pretty cool solutions to things that may be a bit outside the box and could be an asset for many types of projects. Catherine made us laugh a lot and ensured our house was so clean the whole time. It was lovely. Thanks so much guys and all the best in your future!

Nina volunteered with us for 3 weeks, providing excellent support in admin tasks and teaching at our school for 3 hours daily. She is incredibly open-minded, flexible, and easy to communicate with. Nina’s friendly personality and great sense of humor made her a favorite among the staff and students alike. She is a natural team player who adapts quickly to any environment. We truly enjoyed having her positive energy in our project. We highly recommend Nina to any organization; she is a reliable, kind, and hardworking volunteer who will be a great asset to your team!

I loved staying with Galya and considered her an immediate friend. She is laid back, while still being a very effective communicator. We had a lot of fun together celebrating the holidays, eating, and sharing in cultural exchange. I met several of her friends as well as her family, all of whom were very kind, warm, and welcoming.

Namaskar 🙏 The last 16 days have been very beautiful, meaningful, joyful for me.. Dhara and Harideva welcomed me with a open heart and I felt very fast a part of the family :) The work was diverse from gardening, to maintenance, feeding the animals, a lot of opportunities to give some good energy into this amazing land and projects. During the day when it's hot you can cool off in the river which is just 2min walking away, so nice.. I would highly recommend other volunteers to come hear and experience this calm, simple, sustainable way of life. Dhara cooks amazing food and there is always more than enough. They know a lot of people and took me with them, to meet there friends and families which made it even more special for me! I am sure our paths will cross again, thank you very much for this beautiful time together 🙏☀️

I had a wonderful six weeks at Marta and Peter's farm. Spending Christmas with them was a lovely experience and I felt welcome and comfortable at all times. The tasks weren't difficult to do, I usually finished work early and it didn't feel like hard work. The animals are absolutely adorable, which brings a smile to your face every day. ☺️ I can highly recommend a stay at this place and thank Marta and Peter for everything I learned (Peter has an incredibly broad knowledge) and experienced during my time there. 🥰 Thanks again to you both, I hope to see you again sometime. with love, Susanna

I spent about a month here in Sligo and had such an amazing and comfortable time getting to explore the Sligo area and see the art museums and natural sites, along with getting to experience going to a concert given by siobhan and her band. this concert was a lot of fun and their youngest daughter even had a surprise appearance and was incredibly talented at singing as well. while i was on the farm i helped with some gardening and landscaping, fixed some plumbing underground near their pump that had been leaking, and help with construction of a deck for their sauna. i got to learn a bit about end of year aggriculture in this region of the world. Andrew and siobhan are incredible hospital hosts making sure i had everything that i needed or wanted which is very generous and they treated me like i was part of the family. While there i got to spend a lot of time talking about irish history, philosophy and learned a lot about the current politics going on because their presidential elections were happening. i am very happy to have gotten to spend time here and would love to go back if my travels allow for it.

Ollie and Aisha stayed with me for 5 nights in January 2026. They were a pleasure to host. Ollie and Aisha got stuck in to the laneway garden, weeding pot plants in a large area of the laneway that had been neglected for a number of years. It was a big job but they approached it with energy and enthusiasm - even in the rain!! Ollie also helped with repairs and maintenence and both Ollie and Aisha helped with window cleaning. We had some great chats and ate a lot of cake. I highly recommend Ollie and Aisha as a workaway team.

Dear Luana, Thank you for being such a wonderful part. Your energy, kindness, and positive vibes truly made our days brighter. We’re really grateful for all the moments and help you shared with us, and we wish you nothing but the best in everything ahead. You’ll always have a place here. 🌿 With love,

It was such a pleasure to host Ilaria for about a week in January 2026. She was motivated, energetic, flexible, skilled and willing to work on a variety of household tasks including painting, watering, weeding and cleaning. We had some fun with sewing projects, chatted about travel and workout programs, swam at Clovelly and had a night time visit to AGNSW. I highly recommend Ilaria as a workaway.

Me and my friend stayed at Noya's place for 2 weeks just before Christmas and it was amazing! I will only speak for my experience as Sandra and I loved every second. First of all the nature over there is amazing and you feel like part of it. The views are amazing and the daily hikes gave us the opportunity to get to know the place in 'every' detail (obviously there is so much more to discover). Because of the variety of sun, clouds and sunsets it feels like a new place all over again. In the morning before work i enjoyed spending some time at the river to go for a bath or just cuddling with the dogs. In the evenings it was so chill to sit in front of the fire, reading or playing cards. Because of the fact that there was almost no phone reception, it was so great to fill the time you normaly use for your phone, with quality time. During the day we often split our tasks like planting trees, building benches, cleaning hiking trails or building steps this is why I loved that we always had Lunch and Dinner all together with all volunteers and Noya to have some quality time together. Noya is just amazing! She is such an open person, with a lot of knowledge about everything and who loves to share this with you. She really embodies permaculture in every part of her life. I really enjoyed every conversation with her because I learned a lot and she gave me some great advices and I felt really seen by her! It feels like there is so much more to say but just go there and have the experience for yourself, because you will learn so much about yourself and enjoy time in nature with yourself. If you're looking for a remote place to reset your nervous system, have inspiring talks and be one with the nature- this is the place for you! Thank you Noya for everything!

Lisa et Achille ont été de vrais trésors. Très curieux de tout et partants pour toutes les tâches proposées, ils se sont adaptés et ont réalisé leur bénévolat avec amour et beaucoup d'intérêt. Ils nous laissent de magnifiques murs en terre (très minutieux !), un lit en bambou, de bons conseils et un coup de main en électricité, et de beaux souvenirs de partages, joie et simplicité. Merci !

Marion et Iseult ont été incroyables ! 2 filles pleine d'énergie et partantes pour tout type d'activités ! Nous avons fait ensemble principalment des murs en terre et un lit en bambou, elles ont appris à manier les outils rapidement et ont donné beaucoup pour terminer les tâches proposées. Elles ont aussi participé aux tâches collectives avec le sourire et un naturel bienveillant. De vrais rayons de soleil pour et ses habitants. A peine parties elles nous ont manqué ! Merci les filles pour toute cette positivité, belle route 💚

Kristen and Hamish welcomed me to their home with open arms, showed me their favorite local spots and were incredibly flexible with the work I had to do. I spent a very pleasant and relaxing week with them.
