Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

I had an amazing two weeks in the Czech staying with Roman, Tereza, Rosie, and Vickie! Roman and Tereza were incredibly kind, thoughtful, and welcoming throughout my stay. They were so kind and considerate, and they made me feel completely at ease. I also had such a great time spending time with Rosie and Vickie, they are truly the sweetest! The flat was clean, well-organized, and very convenient for getting into the city center. The food was another highlight. They cooked so many delicious Czech and European dishes for me, which was such a special experience. I also learned a lot about Czech culture, history, language, and great places to explore thanks to them. Thank you again for such a wonderful two weeks!!

I spent about a week with Silva and his family, and it was a truly wonderful experience. From the very first day, I immediately felt at ease. Silva and his family are incredibly kind and welcoming people who make you feel like part of the family right away, always greeting you with a smile and genuine warmth. Silva is also certified in Ayurvedic massage, and he kindly helped me with a problem I had with my leg, which I really appreciated. During my free time, Silva took me to visit some beautiful local places, such as a turtle farm, the mask museum, and a river safari. It was such a nice way to discover the area and made my stay even more special. I also really enjoyed cooking some Italian dishes for them a few times, it was lovely to share my culture with the family. The food was always delicious, and the house itself is very cozy and welcoming, making it easy to feel at home. Here, I truly found a second family, and I will definitely come back to visit them soon for the Buddhist New Year. Thank you for everything ❤️

We have just hosted Tess for 2 weeks at our home on Waiheke Island. From the outset, Tess communicated beautifully & arrived on schedule at a mutually agreed time. Tess is a beautiful young woman, who was so keen to help where ever she could. So thoughtful and kind. She is very strong and works very hard. Her English is very good and we also enjoyed some delicious French cooking! Definitely recommend you ask for her Lemon Chicken & Quiche Lorraine! She made the most of her time here and ventured off on long walks every day exploring the wider area. I highly recommend Tess as a helping hand at your place 10/10! And would welcome her back anytime 🌻

Juliette and Laeticia are two amazing girls with so much kindness and always with a smile in their faces. We had the luck that they found us and helps us with all types of tasks during 2 months, they are reliable, positive, helpfull, and you just really feel comfortable having them around. Just happy about all their stay! Fully recommended as workawayers, and friends ♥️

We had a lovely time staying with Mark and Philippa (and Chris!). They were so welcoming, their property is beautiful and the chickens are adorable. The accommodation was great, very clean and comfortable, and you’re very much treated like part of the family from the get-go. The work was fun and very reasonable, and the food delicious. We can’t thank them enough for a wonderful week- setting the bar high for future work-aways!!

Hola a todxs como estan? Gracias por leer. Les comparto que Bella estuvo en casa por 15 dias. Nuestra experiencia fue muy hermosa porque pudimos aprender y enseñar nuestras habilidades al mismo tiempo que ayudamos en casa de familias que habian perdido todo en los incendios. Bella es una mujer muy empoderada, independiente, proactiva y le gusta mucho aprender nuevas manejas de crear. Es dinamica, habla muy bien el español y creo que es una persona muy inteligente y observadora. Tuvimos la posibilidad de ser todas mujeres y eso fue una experiencia muy hermosa. Muy recomendable para que la reciban en sus proyectos.

David stayed with us for 10 days and helped us with our house cleaning and gardening projects. He helped us with progressing the many tasks we needed to get done! David enjoys cleaning tasks and working with small fine details. At our daily dinners together, we enjoyed sharing with David as he has many stories of his travelling adventures and unique interests! He likes to learn about different cultures and is very curious by nature. Thanks so much David for helping us out, and enjoy the rest of your travels!

Nuestra estancia en casa de Omero fue formidable. Pudimos conocer e intercambiar con personas maravillosas en La Florida. La región está llena de lugares increíbles como los 5 lagos, la cascada de Ojo de Agua, e incluso tuvimos el privilegio de acompañar a Omero y a 2 de sus mulas hasta la laguna Miramar! En la zona autónoma zapatista donde se encuentra La Florida no hay turistas; la inmersión es total, es una excelente manera de perfeccionar tu español. Los días están bien ocupados, pero el trabajo es siempre agradable y lleno de descubrimientos diarios. Tuvimos la suerte de participar en la cosecha, el secado y la exportación del cardamomo. También hay plantaciones de café, litchi y maíz. Nuestra casita fue muy confortable y un hermoso río atraviesa la propiedad, ideal para nadar y bañarse! ¡Muchísimas gracias a Omero, Alfredo, Anita, Arbey y Doña Vale por esta estancia inolvidable a su lado!

Ole was a pleasure to have stay with us - he was such fun. Great sense of humour and did so many varied jobs for us. He loved the animals and Although we could never master how to pronounce his name, he forgave us time and time again 🤣 Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to other hosts.

We had an amazing experience at Rocío and Huáscar’s home. We met the whole family and were treated as if we had always belonged there. Peru was very good to me, and I enjoyed every day we spent there in Chanchamayo. The people there are friendly and relaxed, and we never felt rushed. The cultural exchange was very enjoyable. We stayed for only two weeks, and during that time we cut, measured, and used bamboo to build fences. We also shoveled a lot of dirt to fix up an area of the property. We took pictures and videos of an event there as well. We were always surrounded by great people like Don José, Mama Carmen, and Valencia. We ate three times a day, had a good laugh every day, and had the chance to share Mexican food with them a couple of times. We wish we could have stayed longer, but it was the end of our trip. We definitely need to come back again.

This is a very promising and heartfelt project having a tangible, although small-scale, social impact, which you'll be able to see with your own eyes. If you want to have a small part in it, do apply! The work varies a lot, might be in the kitchen, garden, farm, or doing a little construction, feeding animals and so on. I guess flexibility is important, but communication with the host has always been transparent, honest, and clear. Good luck Marielle, keep up the good work!

Laurane and William came and spent 10 days helping us with our house cleaning and gardenig project. They were great help and assisted us with many tasks. Laurane has a very sweet, caring nature and is very detailed, conscious and committed to any task we gave her. She helped us so much with cleaning and always had a positive lovely attitude which was so great! William helped with outdoors and gardnening tasks, and helped us a lot with progressing the many tasks we needed to get done. He has a calm and kind nature which was very easy to get along with. They are a very sweet couple who are currently travelling the world. Thank you so much Laurane and William, it was a pleasure to meet you both!

I was enjoying my time at Mike's place to the fullest! During my one-week stay I got to do versatile tasks, from staining to cleaning and trail building, and learned so many new things under Mike's guidance. The house was really cozy, and it was so nice and fun to share it with Mike, Billy the sweetest dog and other Workawayers - I really felt welcomed there and we had great discussions and delicious dinners :) I truly appreciate Mike's hospitality and willingness to show us around the area as well. I had a lovely week - thank you so much Mike!

Ambika's visit was short in days but filled with smiles, beaux arts, wholesome conversation, and inspiration. Her volunteer contributions were centered around figuring out how to paint on glass to get us started in the creation of several window panels to fill spaces with color and light. I am thankful for Ambika's visit and hope she returns to Minas de Oro, she is always welcomed. Buen viaje y buena vida, Ambika.

Manee is a very nice host with a lot of knowledge , skills and sympathy . Personally i remained 16 days in this place and it was really a very nice experiance with many gifted-workawayers .

Sofia is truly one of a kind. She is a naturally caring and thoughtful person who brings a calm, positive presence into our home. From the moment she arrived, she fit seamlessly into our family and quickly became someone we could rely on and trust. She has a fantastic work ethic and approaches every task with enthusiasm and care. During her time with us, Sofia helped with a variety of jobs including horse care/riding, outdoor duties, general household tasks, and assisting with the children. No matter the job, she always gave it her best effort. We feel very lucky to have had her stay with us. We would definitely welcome her back anytime and highly recommend her to any future hosts. She will be missed.

Laura and Jean-Jacques spent more than two months with us, they worked hard in and outside the house, Laura si a very quiet and pleasent person and was very kind and friendly with our kids, JJ is very funny and brillant, he hard a special feeling with our dog. They helped us for any our request and we spend a good time togheter. We raccomend them as two excellent Workawayers!
