Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 11

Martin & Juliette made it onto our list of favorite volunteers: super hardworking, cheerful, and willing to help. Awesome couple, learning to speak Portunhol (a mix of Portuguese and Spanish).

Raff is a cool, easy going guy, and super helpful volunteer!

LATIFEH stayed with us for some time. She helped us with a lot of different things, from gasdening to painting and comunicating with our guests in English, when our staff couldn't. Our staff loved having her here, she was sweet and made friends with all of us.

I stayed with Rafa and his mother for 3 weeks, and it was a wonderful time:) They were both very hospitable and helpful, I felt like at home. Rafa is a calm, chilled, very friendly person, and a talented musician. The work was as promised, no more than around 3 hours a day, 5 days a week - we did some gardening and painted fences, and the last few days we spent on recording a video clip for his music project. They eat 2 big meals a day (there's always more than you can eat haha), but you can always fix yourself some meal anytime you want. The food was VERY good, mostly traditional Argentinian meals. I stayed in a well-equipped cosy room with a balcony and a life-saving ceiling fan. The house is big, and Rafa has a cosy recording studio with a piano and 2 acoustic guitars on the other side of the garden. The neighbourhood is very calm and peaceful, with plenty of natural spots and opportunities to get lost in the cacti thicket 🌵 I was given a lot of space and freedom, which was really great - I spent a lot time wandering and exploring both with Rafa and on my own. I really enjoyed this stay and I fully and honestly recommend Rafa to anyone who's interested:)

Super nice couple!! It was great to have them here and they helped us a lot with our projects.

We couldn't have asked for better volunteers than Elin and Sophie. They jumped right into life here with enthusiasm and a 'can-do' attitude. Elin and Sophie helped us with a variety of tasks, from gardening and painting to market/food prep. They helped us get organized ready for our upcoming guests, they work well individually & were an excellent team. They were hardworking, & considerate volunteers who went the extra mile, we highly recommend them to any future host.

Adela has been a very valuable member of our team during her time at our English School. She showed a positive attitude, responsibility, and a genuine willingness to support our students and staff. Her presence brought an international perspective to the classroom, and students felt motivated to interact with her in English. She was kind, respectful, and always open to participating in activities and contributing to the school environment. We appreciate her commitment, energy, and the cultural exchange she shared with our community. It was a pleasure to have her with us, and we truly value the impact she had on our students’ learning experience. We wish Adela all the best in her future projects and hope she always remembers us as a special part of her journey.

Erhard came our home , got on great with all our kids, got stuck into all sorts of work on our farm. Would highly recommend Erhard, hard working , engaging and fun.

We weren't originally going to do a Workaway in Wellington but we managed to squeeze in a few days with Rachel, and really glad we did! She was very welcoming and friendly, and made time to chat to us even though she had a lot going on at work! She gave us some great tips about Wellington, including telling us about the Orca monitoring Facebook group which meant we were able to spot some orca on our last day! Thanks Rachel 😊

It was a treat having Caroline stay with us. She is proactive, very easy to talk to, and was wonderful with our two young children. Always willing to help and very pleasant. Thanks for everything, Caroline!

I had a great time. Even if the place was full it felt quiet and peaceful. The shift where short in the evening so I had all day to explore. The people working there where welcoming and super friendly. I did a tour and it was super interesting. Had a great time!

Miriam stayed with us for a month and was a great help to our family. She was very caring with my daughter, showing such kindness, gentleness, and patience, and it was clear from the start that she has a naturally warm and nurturing way with children. She also helped with a variety of household tasks, always approaching everything with a positive attitude and a willingness to help. She was reliable, considerate, and very easy to have in our home. And gave all the pets lots of attention too so they didn’t feel left out!

Ya extrañamos la hermosa energia de Lai! Super compañera, talentosa, responsable y amorosa. Mas que agradecidos de haber cruzado caminos. Nos dejo un mural increiblee en las paredes de nuestro casita, cocino unos riquisimos pastries, nos ayudo con tareas del campito y le dio mucho amor a nuestra perrita, a nuestra casita y a toda la familia. Mas que super recomendada ! Te queremos Lai

Working for Jane was an absolute pleasure in so many ways! Her property is beautifully curated and a delight to be on - made up of lush bush, a flowing river (suitable for dips!), fruit trees and flowers. There was good variation amongst the daily projects that kept us engaged and busy. The added bonus was the gorgeous studio, Jane's humor&company, and the delicious dinnertime meals. Coromoandel is a special place, and we are very grateful for our time spent here - thank you Jane!!

Berna y Manu son un amor! Con una energia muy amorosa y tranquila , dejaron ese mismo sentir en nuestro hogar. Se integraron super bien con toda la dinamica de trabajo (en plena temporada alta) y participaron de la creacion de proyectos que hoy viven en el hostel! Le dieron mucho cariño a nuesta perrita Moka , hicieron unos almohadones increibles de colores para el patio, compartimos navidad, guitarreadas, mates, atardeceres, playita, olas y un verano hermoso! Por siempre en nuestras corazones! Afortunados de tenerlos en nuestra familia :)

I had a really fun stay with Joanna, Didier, Elisabeth and the kids. Argelès-sur-mer is a beautiful area . It's perfect for appreciating nature all around you. The family also took good care of me. They were mindful of my vegetarian diet and very hospitable. I improved my French, especially thanks to Joanna teaching me new words every day. This was my first Workaway experience and I want to thank you all for making me feel so welcomed. It was a pleasure to get to know the whole family. You are all wonderful.

Una muy buena experiencia con Iso y Rory, chicxs fantasticxs, responsables, trabajadores, atentos y encantadores. Muy amorosos con los animales y el equipo, felices de volver a recibirlos en el refugio!

Beautiful location, AMAZING dogs, great food and wonderful company, the best work away ever? We spent two weeks here - it was so amazing to start every morning with a long hike with the dogs, all amazing and loving in their own ways. We also got to help out at a sterilisation clinic which was great experience. We enjoyed our time with Krizsztina, she was so welcoming and a great chef - we enjoyed our dinners together, especially one evening cooking over the fire with the dogs, beautiful!

Desde el primer momento, mi experiencia con Alejandro en María Pinto fue muy especial. Es una persona con amplios conocimientos en distintas áreas, especialmente en plantas, semillas (es un guardián de ellas), cultura indígena, geografía, arte... Siempre tiene nuevos proyectos en mente, lo que genera un aprendizaje constante. Compartir tiempo con él es muy enriquecedor. Además, es una persona tranquila que crea un ambiente donde los voluntarios se sienten cómodos y bienvenidos. Su espacio es hermoso, acogedor y rodeado de naturaleza. Las tareas fueron principalmente limpieza, pintura y organización del lugar. Gracias Alejandro, por tu generosidad y por todo lo compartido! Me voy muy agradecido y con ganas de regresar!

I spent two weeks here and had an amazing experience. The place is very remote, deep in the jungle in the south of Costa Rica, waking up to monkeys and being surrounded by nature was unforgettable. Colin is a very generous and attentive host. He made sure we were always comfortable, cooked great meals, and took us surfing and boogie boarding. It really felt like being welcomed into his home. The work was mostly construction (we helped build stairs), which was interesting, even if it can be hot. The tents are spacious, comfortable, and well set up. Overall a 5/5 experience. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and immersive stay.
