Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 10

Esther is such a lovely, cheerful, and bright person. Her laughter and energy always bring so much joy to everyone around her. As a teacher, she makes learning so much fun that the children are always happy to be in her class. Beyond teaching, she has been a huge help to our community—from creating great social media videos and drawing beautiful art to keeping things clean and organized. Thank you so much, Esther, for choosing to stay with us and for everything you’ve done. We truly hope to welcome you back again soon!

We've stayed at their place for two weeks and had the best time there. From the start we have felt very welcomed and after a short time already part of the family. We had a lot of good talks with Daniela and learned a lot about the culture and sorrounding area. She also gave us many tips about what we can do in our free time and was very flexibel, so it was even possible to do multiple day trips. She also gave us some needed cooking lessons and tips, that we will definitely use on our further travels (especially the rice pudding 😋). We will also really miss the bread Ray always made and also the other delicious meals that were cooked every evening. We've also had a wonderful time with their daughter Konnie and really enjoyed building a fairy village and playing with her. When we arrived the hedge was trimmed, so the first few days we were busy with cleaning up the hedge. Furthermore we did some weeding, window cleaning, cutzing firewood and many more various tasks. Sometimes the work was exhausting because of the heat and sun, but Daniela made sure we took enough breaks. During our stay, another two workawayers wer also staying at their place and we all had a good time together during the meals or while playing card games. We're are deeply grateful for the great time we had at their place and couldnt have wished for a better stay. Thank you for the nice experience and the sourdough bread 😄

I couldn't have found a better place to start volunteering again after all these years. Steve's finca is a little piece of paradise! The nature, the river and surroundings are amazing, the working time was reasonable and the atmosphere with the other volunteers was great. It is overall very relaxed but there is enough organization to keep the boat afloat. The friendly cats and dogs were a real plus, they are all very lovely, and I am grateful to Steve also for introducing me to some of his friends in town. I am probably coming back soon actually :P

I stayed at Heidi's for 2 weeks, I would definitly recommand it ! Heidi is an energetic, outgoing and smart person. She always has many projects that she enjoys sharing with people. While I was there, I mostly helped with outdoor projects. Heidi taught me a lot about french drain (everything really 😉). Heidi is also involve in her community and she included me. She introduced me to her friends, we went to a pub quizz (and won), to the farmers market, to the art show displaying in the village... I also met with Roman, her husband. They are a lovely couple and spending time with them is lovely. They made me feel welcomed, even when I came back after few months. If you have the chance to stay at Heidi's, you shouldn’t hesitate !

Well, where should I even begin? Staying in Batusangkar at Mr. Edison’s home, with his wife and sons, has been one of the most meaningful and enriching experiences I’ve ever had. From the very first moment, they made me feel welcomed, safe, and part of their family. They took care of me with so much kindness and were always checking that I was happy and doing well. I stayed for two weeks, but honestly, a part of me wishes I could have stayed much longer. During the week, you’ll have conversation classes from Monday to Saturday, usually from 3 to 6 pm. In the mornings, you’ll help promote the school in local schools, but you’ll also have time to yourself — to walk around, explore the town, and discover local food and daily life. One important thing to know is that you won’t be alone while teaching. There will always be a teacher with you in the classroom to support you. So if you don’t have teaching experience, or if you’re not a native English speaker, you really don’t need to worry. What truly matters is your attitude, your willingness to share, and your openness to connect with the students. The students and teachers are truly special. They are full of energy, curiosity, and warmth. They welcomed me with open arms, took me to explore the surrounding areas during the weekends, and even surprised me with so many thoughtful gestures and gifts. Their generosity and kindness touched me deeply. Be ready to be the center of attention — you’ll most likely be the only bule 😂 — but it comes with so many smiles, laughter, and genuine human connection. I also had the chance to discover traditional food, drinks, customs, and real local life. One of the most unforgettable moments was being invited to a wedding — something I never expected, and will never forget. This experience gave me so much more than I could have imagined. Not just memories, but real connections and lessons. I truly, wholeheartedly recommend this experience.

Odamee was very patient with the kids and friendly with everyone in the camp. She has a great smile and a positive attitude towards others. She was always helpful and ready to lend a hand whenever needed. She brought cheerful energy and good vibes to the team. We truly appreciated her presence and contribution during her stay. She would be a great addition to any host.

una chica con mucha Calma, callada, reservada , muy respetuosa, estuvo con nosotros en recepción y todo muy bien, aunque en momentos olvidara acciones que se le solicitaba que hiciera en el turno, pero en general muy bien, maneja muy bien el español e ingles.

Catherine y Camille fueron una ola de alegría y bella energía para todos en casa! Los gatitos y Caramelo recibieron muchos mimos y cuidado, la casa recibió muuucho cariño con su ayuda quitando manchas en el piso y más para ponerla linda con la limpieza y las trufas el postre perfecto :D Si tienen el chance de recibir la compañía y apoyo de esta linda pareja... No lo piensen dos veces!!!!

I loved my time at the Lodge! The place is amazing with great nature and things to see every day. I was there for 3.5 weeks and it was an experience I'll never forget. The guides are amazing, special shout-out to Walter, Riley, Cade and Izak, who always made us workawayers feel welcome and at home. Shout out to my Capitán Laura, who I got to practice my Spanish with, and who I shared many a busy days doing work! Shout out Allan, who drove the car to perfection and was always helpful. A great guy to practice Spanish with! Kirk and Johanna were also wonderful hosts, who always did their best to meet the needs of the WorkAwayers, guides, and of course, the customers. But the most special thing I associate this trip with are the friendships I've made. The connections I made with my fellow WorkAwayers and guides are some I won't soon forget. Hopefully I will get to meet them again wherever they are! I went alone and I loved it, so if you have any reservations about doing it solo, don't you worry! Next time I'm in Costa Rica I will be back for sure.

Dario was an excellent workerawayer and an absolute pleasure to host while he was in Edmonton. His stay with us was longer than average, but we would have happily allowed him to stay longer if he wished. His willingness to try new things and ability to work independently made it easy to assign him tasks and complete them at his pace. While he was assisting in a furnace install, my contractor even offered to hire him! I would encourage any host that Dario contacts to welcome him as a worker and guest. He is low maintenance and a very hard worker. He will also offer interesting stories of his travels. If you're ever back in Edmonton Dario, please feel free to contact us for a stay.

Grateful for Lena's warm welcome to her household and charming town of Mangawhai. Her house is gorgeous, she is an excellent cook and her art work is very beautiful. Her dog is so sweet and friendly, it was hard to bid farewell.

We truly had a wonderful experience with Gloria, she is an angel that anyone would be lucky to have! She handled the tasks like a champion, not being afraid of getting her hands dirty and being able to look after our two kids at the same time takes an impeccable amount of skill! There are so many things that we can say about this sweet lady, her heart is BIG and her desire to help was on another level including her thoughtfulness towards us and this parenthood journey, no one has ever offered to look after our kids in order for us both to have a sleep in. This was one of the most kindest gestures, that we couldn't believe it! But she did. Gloria has such a beautiful spirit. She was very friendly towards the other volunteers and her sincere communication and positivity added such a sweet and uplifting element to the space. We are immensely grateful for this volunteering experience, and will hold it in our hearts for the moments spent were heartwarming and special. Sending many blessings for the way ✨💚✨🦋🌿

It was a fantastic experience at Heather's home, we were made to feel very welcome! We had a wonderful time with the children and felt very comfortable in our room! We highly recommend it without hesitation! Thank you so much, Heather, for the great times, the meals, the conversations, and the games with Tasman and Eden—it was fantastic!

We stayed a bit over a week at Eliza's and Mark's place and we truly enjoyed our time here. During our stay we had some bigger projects and we always felt very appreciated during our stay here. They always made sure we didn't work too much and provided us with delicious food! The kids are always happy to play and spend time with you and will make you feel like a part of their family! Thank you for your trust and your time!

Staying at Anja's was wonderful ! I've been doing few workaways already and this is one of my favorite 🤩. Anja makes you feel welcome and part of the family as soon as you arrive. I stayed in Terrigal for 2 weeks, one week with Emily (an other workaway), the other by myself. I took care of the lovely Pipo 🐶 and help Anja with few jobs around the house including repainting her hallway (I'm still not sure about the colour 😉). Anja has always been very clear about what she needed from us, giving us a lot of freedom about how and when we wanted to do things to also be able to enjoy our time there. After I left her place, she helped me by keeping my bags and Alberto gave it back to me later on. Anja and Alberto are two very nice persons, caring and sweet, they will open their house for you and share a part of their peaceful life. If you have the chance, go for it !

We really enjoyed Fer's stay. She's lovely and has great energy. I appreciate all her help with making cardboard pots, glass potters, and watching the dogs so we could travel for the day. She has a great attitude and a nice conversationalist. Thank you Fer!

Thank you, Donna and Cath for the loveliest workaway stay! If you ever get a chance for WA stay, dont hesitate. I did some painting and was rewarded by a lovely food, lovely company by Donna, Cath, and of course Berry (Pickles was not so impressed by me). Thank you for all your help and a great time!

This was my first Workaway experience, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better one. Lisa made me feel welcome straight away, and from the beginning it felt like being in a warm and cozy home. I felt comfortable and included the whole time. I helped hang Christmas lights, which turned out to be such a fun and festive job. It really got me into the holiday spirit! Everything felt relaxed. Lisa is kind, creative, and inspiring , and I really enjoyed spending time together and having good conversations. And of course, sweet Aloy made the experience even more special 🐾 I would definitely recommend staying with Lisa. It was such a lovely first Workaway experience, and I’m truly grateful Thank you again!

Taylor and her brother Aiden were an excellent addition to our daily life. They were willing and helpful in every way. They had great skills with both home life (cooking, cleaning, childcare) and outdoor practical jobs (weeding, raking, spraying, helping with animals). They were easy to talk to and yet also enjoyed their own space and making the most of seeing the area. We really enjoyed their company and wish them all the best for the rest of their trip together around NZ. Cheers guys!

Amazing Experience!!! Amir is the Best Host Ever! With him you can learn everithings about wood, trees and local community. His project is so cool and we worked so good together. In the free time we could prepare food, visit the Jungle, see monkeys and meet local community. It was a Wonderfull Experience, I hope one day I will come back there... see you soon My Frind😉
