Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Hallöchen ihr Lieben, vielen Dank, dass ihr mich so herzlich bei euch aufgenommen habt. Ich habe mich von der ersten Sekunde an extrem wohl bei euch gefühlt. Die Arbeit im Café hat mit super viel spaß gemacht und ich hoffe, dass man sich bald wieder sieht. Leider befürchte ich, dass ich nie wieder in ein Café gehen kann, ohne mir zu denken, dass es bei euch besser schmecken würde, hehe.

Dear Patrick and Corina, Here is the review I promised to write (apologies for the delay). Thank you so much for the wonderful time I had at your campsite. Thank you for your hospitality, your patience, and all the laughter we shared. Your campsite is an absolutely wonderful place and I felt very welcomed and at home there. Hopefully we will see each other again soon and until then i wish you all the best ♡

I stayed with Sylvio this summer, and it was the best choice! He is a very kind, sweet and open man. He taught me everyrhing about Palermo and cooked me the most amazing meals. He also took us swimming every morning, which was wonderful. The work was fun, and he let's you help out according to your liking. I would reccommend Sylvio's place 100%!!

It was a pleasure to welcome Alla, a very enthusiastic person, always interested to discover new things. We had great exchanges and discussions. Very respectful of the house rules and the environment, she has contributed very positively to the ongoing maintenance of the garden and house.

I’m really grateful for this experience and really enjoyed the 5 weeks I spent on Ilha Grande! The work is meaningful and fun, the staff here are always helpful and responsive, and of course the island is absolutely incredible. This Workaway is perfect for anyone who loves nature and is ready to put in the effort to protect it. If you have the possibility, I highly recommend staying at least 2-3 weeks in order to join a mission to the natural reserve!!

Rosemary is the best host and a genuinely wonderful human. I’m very grateful for the time I spent with her and her family, and I truly hope to come back. Thank you so much Rosie.

cool 🐵, curious and fun to play with...

I stayed for approximately two months (July–August 2025), and it was an incredible and very rewarding experience that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. From the very first minute I arrived at the lodge, I felt very comfortable with the atmosphere—calm, friendly, and full of mutual respect. Wayne and Barb are incredibly kind and easy-going people who take the time to explain everything clearly from day one. I truly had an amazing time. I had a lot of fun, learned so much, and gained many valuable experiences and lessons that will stay with me throughout my life. The place itself is beautiful—a real paradise. If you love nature, peace ,chilling , and fishing, this is definitely the place for you. If you are an active person who enjoys always having something to do and learning new skills, you will feel right at home here. If you enjoy fishing, you will have plenty of opportunities to do so here. It was a great pleasure working for you, and I truly hope that this place continues for many more seasons to come.

Elisabetta and Riccardo were such a joy to host. They are excellent workawayers. They took great care of the animals and the house. They are kind, considerate, thoughtful, and completely trustworthy. In addition to the daily animal jobs, Riccardo was very comfortable doing gardening jobs and cooked great meals. Elisabetta was excellent in cleaning and tidying. They are very pleasant company. We had many great conversations and shared meaningful moments together. I really look forward to hosting them again.

Such an amazing experience to work in Regina’s place. You don’t need to have previous experience from horses only motivation and eager to learn! We were working in small team of other volunteers from all around the world. The work included cleaning horse boxes and since it was already cold weather we helped Regina with firewood. If you love horses and want to have a peaceful time in the countryside this is for you. Regina is having such a big heart and you really feel welcomed to the ranch. The accommodation was really nice as well with big kitchen, pretty new toilets and showers, big common place with fireplace and your own room. Highly recommended! ❤️

Estuvieron en nuestra fundacion una semana, pero eso no fue motivo para no compartir y vivir la experiencia de participar de nuestro proyecto... Simplemente estas dos mujeres son increibles... Ayudaron y participaron en todas las actividades, ademas de compartir con el grupo de voluntarios... Estamos felices de todo lo vivido.. Infinitas gracias Lisa y domi

My 2 weeks in Don Nangloy with Phonephet and the rest of the family were amazing. They're great people, very kind and social, the kids Emma and Vera are the sweetest and I enjoyed every second playing with them and the kids of the village. I swam with their pet buffalo Petunia and we got to see the other Islands as well. I got to meet so many amazing people, not only Lao, but also all the other volounteers and guests, the mood around this place is special, I bonded so much with each one of them and I feel very grateful for the experience. We spent Christmas all together, Phonephet gave us a free day to celebrate and we cooked pancakes for everyone. Puk (Phonephet's wife) is sweet and funny and she's also an excellent cooker! I would totally recommend this experience and, if I'll have the chance, I'll go back there for sure!

Hermosa familia.... Estuvieron compartiendo en nuestra fundacion y pasamos momentos increibles. Alice y los niños tienen un corezon gigante.. Participaron en todas las actividades y se integraron al equipo desde el primer dia. Estamos felices de tener la posibilidad de conocerlos.. Gracias por todo y hasta pronto

This was my first work away, and I'm really glad I chose this place. They carefully explained the work and why it was necessary, so I was able to work while gaining new knowledge. When I told them I was interested in permaculture, they told me about various resources and their experiences. Also, my life during my stay was directly connected to permaculture, and my experiences of using fragrance-free household products and only washing clothes made from natural fibers made me realize things I wouldn't notice in my everyday life. I learned a lot that I want to use in my future life. I'm truly grateful to them both.

I spent three months at the auberge with Sara and Alessandro, the owners: two lovely and interesting people. The place, the village and the area all around are great. They made me feel at home since the first day and they have always been very clear flexible about the tasks and work time. I am looking forward to go back there asap. :)

Silvie es de esas personas que hacen que todo este super bien.... Tiene un corazon gigante, su empatia, solidaridad y energia se destacan en ella.. Todo el tiempo que compartimos fue muy bonito y va a quedar en nuestros recuerdos por siempre. Ella es totalmente recomendable para participar de un voluntariado. Gracias por regalarnos tan lindos momentos... Hasta pronto

It was pleasure to meet Hanna. From the first day we met her we know she was very relayable . After one day spending with her and give he all instructions about how to manage our farm we left for holiday. In this time she needs to be able to look after house and animals, which includes feeding dogs, cats, chickens, geese ,sheep and Alpacas. Additionally to this task she needs to water all gardens, which is very big and do some weeding, cutting and pruning. When we come back after one week we find out that all our animals are healthy and happy. Our gardens were very well cared. Hanna spent three weeks with us, in three weeks she did a lot of work in veggie garden and in other gardens by trimming all hedges, planting vegetables and cleaning all leafs and old plants. She has done fantastic work. Hanna very helpful in kitchen, she can cook and help me with all meal preparation. She is very good with communication and good companion. We sad she has to go, but we wish all the best in her adventures and highly recommend her. Mike and Yelena

From day one, Mikaela and Emily were just lovely to have around. They are friendly, proactive, and thoughtful people who put real care into everything they did. They worked hard, took initiative without needing direction, and went above and beyond what was asked of them. They were always respectful and tidy, and fitted in so well that it felt very natural having them here. We really enjoyed hosting them, and the next work awayers will definitely have big boots to fill — they set the bar so high. Any host will be lucky to have them! I cannot recommend them enough!!

It was a real pleasure to welcome Annabelle among us. She got involved wholeheartedly in the different services, she was given and always showed great commitment. Very curious and attentive, she was eager to understand our daily life at the abbey and didn’t hesitate to ask questions, which led to meaningful exchanges and helped strengthen our sense of fraternity. Annabelle was always joyful and brought a warm presence to the community. She showed a genuine spirit of service and dedication in every task, even the simplest ones. Her presence was truly appreciated and left a very positive impression on all of us.

Carina y Paul son chicoxs fantásticos, muy responsables y cariñosos, muy trabajadores y amables, siempre dispuestos a seguir ayudando. Tuvimos unas semanas muy lindas de trabajo y celebraciones. Muy conectados con los animales y con las personas, mucho sentido del humor y buenas conversaciones. Fue un placer recibirlos y esperamos su viaje este siendo increíble! Bienvenidos para siempre! Recomendados al 100% para cualquier proyecto.
