Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 14

Anouk,Ivo, and Jonas were lovely to have around. they are kind people and very easy to live with. my 4 year old loved the company of their 3 year old Jonas. they were a tremendous help around the house and I feel like me and uruz (my 4 year old) have made new friends and we are already looking forward to the next time we will see them.

Jai eu une chance incroyable d'arriver chez Jane. C'est une personne d'une générosité et du gentillesse immence. Elle m'a fait découvrir de beaux lieux, nous avons participé à des concerts. Elle prend le temps de discuter et de partager sa vie. Je ne peux que la recommander. Croiser son chemin, c'est illuminé sa vie. Merci Jane et à très bientôt j'espère.

J'ai reçu Philippe 2 mois, nous étions partis en France et il est resté seul, il a fait 1000 choses, il a plu beaucoup et a toujours été responsable. C'est un gros travailleur, la campagne n'a pas de secret pour lui, il a de l'humour et est très gentil. Un plaisir de l'avoir eu ici. Je ne lui serai jamais assez reconnaissant, il a débroussaillé toujours la finca, taillé les arbres, trituré les branches, pioché autour ces arbres, et j'en passe. Je recommande Philippe à tous ! Bon voyage Philippe

We enjoyed a wonderful time with Friedrich! Janine is a very kind and caring person, she picked me up and took me back to the train station and provided me with everything I might need. We immediately felt at home. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, yet everything you need for daily life is within walking distance. My dog ​​and Friedrich became friends right away, it’s been very lovely to watch! Thank you so much for everything, we hope to see you again very soon!

The place is truly something else! I was there for three weeks and had the most amazing time. Tasks are so varied and you never get bored - I was cooking, cleaning, and gardening and really enjoyed the structure but also the chillness of it all and the amazing vibes of the other volunteers. I met some truly amazing people and felt so so welcome. There is so much to do on you time off which is ample, and you are surrounded by the most incredible spots which are all super easy to get to! Thank you guys for having me and I hope to stay again one day eep !

Staying with this family in Antalya was one of the most beautiful and meaningful experiences of my Workaway journey. I arrived without having family close to me, and at the beginning I was honestly afraid that I wouldn’t fit in. I had almost forgotten what it felt like to be part of a family. From the very first day, they welcomed me with open hearts and made me feel truly at home. Through sharing daily life — working in the garden, cooking for them, helping with simple household tasks, talking, laughing, and celebrating special moments like New Year’s Eve — they reminded me how important it is to have a family and to feel close to one. They are incredibly kind, supportive, and respectful people. They always listened with openness and understanding, respected my values, and supported my decision to travel to Selçuk. I always felt free to communicate my needs, and they were genuinely caring and considerate in every situation. Kuzey Sarp and Kenan Pars filled my days with joy, and I already miss them very much, just as I miss all of you. I am deeply grateful for everything we shared, for the trust, kindness, and love. I arrived as a volunteer, and I left with a beautiful family in my heart. Thank you for opening your home and your hearts to me. You will always have a very special place in mine ❤️

j'ai eu la chance de passer toute une semaine avec les maternelles troisième Et deuxième année, pour le renseigner quelques mots en anglais, et pour les accompagner pour une représentation le samedi sur la place Municipalede Phayao Où ils ont joué Une petite pièce intitulé "sheaperdrd boy" Ken et Pakk Nous ont fait un excellent accueil et nous ont accompagné toute la semaine avec des changements de programme un petit peu tous les jours, mais honnêtement, c'était une excellente expérience personnelle, et c'est avec plaisir que je les rencontrerai à nouveau si je reviens sur Phayao Matthieu Me and my boyfriend spent a wonderful week in Phayao helping at the kindergarten. We were very welcomed and involved during our week. Pakk and Ken were great so were all of the teachers and of course the children too. We did a lot of different activities teaching, looking after the children, Theatre training, lunch and we were very lucky to be volunteering at children's day in Thailand, which was a truly wonderful experience to be equaly with the children and the teachers. Phayao is a beautiful part of Thailand and we feel lucky to have experienced life there Debs

Ebba is a nice and clever young woman with whom one can work well and talk about everything. It was her first time in Italy and we tried to make her experience a crosscut of Italian life visiting friends and sharing meals and exploring the region . A pity that she stayed only one week, she is welcome back anytime

If heaven were a place on earth, this would be it! Nina and her family have been incredibly welcoming and loving—I instantly felt like part of the family. As the previous Workawayer mentioned, the work was relaxed and informal, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I helped with organizing, cleaning, mucking out stalls and pasture, grooming and feeding the beautiful horses, and assisting with English and exercise for Nina’s daughter and family. Nina also taught me felt work and how to ride bareback, which was AWESOME! I spent two weeks here, and the day after I left I already felt homesick—I’ll definitely be returning because I loved it so much. Every day felt rewarding and meaningful, and life was peaceful. It’s a wonderful place to get grounded and live more mindfully and less wastefully. And don’t even get me started on the food—it was absolutely divine! I highly recommend this place to anyone, especially those with handyman skills. There’s always something to do, and you’ll be doing it in absolute paradise.

Hello Marco & Eva, Thank you for being such incredible guests and volunteers to us. Your energy, kindness, ideas, and hard work during our Green School Project (tree-planting) week left a real mark on our community. It was a pleasure hosting you both. You are welcome back anytime. Wishing you all the best on your travels through Eastern Africa and the rest of the world. Blessings follow you my friends.

Thank you so much, Spyros, and to the whole team!! When I arrived at the monastery, I immediately felt an enormous energy, something very positive was about to happen! I was welcomed not like a prince, but like a human being who needed help!! We welcomed many people and shared so much! We laughed, played sports, worked, all with respect for ourselves and others!! I can't thank Spyros enough for everything he gave me during some difficult moments on my trip!! If you're looking for a serene place, a place of peace to recharge, to walk, and to eat well, then come to the monastery!! You'll meet wonderful people and create magnificent memories. Thank you again, Spyros, for your energy.

Although my stay was brief due to a health issue, I want to acknowledge how welcoming and caring Kat and Kiljan were. Their dedication and vision are truly inspiring, and it’s clear they put a lot of heart into their project, which is just so cool ! Not to mention, their food was delicious! For those visiting in winter, the space can be quite cold (understandably so since it’s a big place to try to heat) so dress warmly and bring adequate sleeping gear to be comfortable.

Rae was a really kind and funny person, she was helpful, and attentive to the tasks at hand.

Staying with this family for three weeks was amazing. Fei and Weiyuan were super kind and accommodating, and I had a lot of fun talking and reading with Matteo and Augustin! Matteo is slightly more reserved and Augustin is full of energy and always has something to say or some gimmick up his sleeve, but both are a lot of fun to talk to. In terms of responsibility, I read with the kids before or after dinner, where I would read a bit and have Matteo or Augustin read a bit, then construct some sentences from a few vocab words. Other than that, I mainly talked with them in English. On New Year's eve, we wrote letters to ourselves to read at the end of the next year, which I thought was a fun activity. Matteo, Augustin, hopefully you read those letters next December and write another one to yourselves (maybe talking about a bit more than roblox and brainrot, Augustin...) Fei and Weiyuan provided dinners on the nights I was there, which was super nice, and the food was delicious! Very much homestyle Chinese food, which made me feel at home :) In terms of location, the convenience of being a less than ten minute walk to the train station into St Lazare is unbeatable. It was so convenient to get in and out of the city, but also the area was pleasant to walk around as well! Overall I enjoyed my time there so much, and my only regret is not being able to stay for longer. Fei, Weiyuan, thank you so much!

Monika took care of our two cats (including medication) while we were traveling for a few days and everything worked out perfectly! We were already on our way when she arrived in Hannover so we left the keys at our neighbours place. And when we were back home she welcomed us with a delicious soup she'd made for us!

Maria, Nuno and all their relatives we got to meet are really nice and welcoming people. The farm is located in a very beautiful region of Portugal. Of course, as mentioned in previous feedbacks the Workaway there is quite demanding and you have to be mentally and physically ready of it. If so, keep your mind open and enjoy the ride because you will have a good time, and a rewarding experience.

Róbert was an amazing WorkAway! It was his first experience and he fit right in, always willing to work hard and independently. He took it upon himself to restore an entire drum set, which had almost rusted apart, during his spare time and he did it so well that it’s now a permanent part of the restaurant’s instruments. I would be very happy to welcome Robbo back to my farm one day, and play some music with him!☺️

Chin Lai was a great workaway to have stay with me. She is quietly confident, interested in nature and very respectful of our native wildlife. Chin Lai was keen to take on many different challenges... she learnt new skills with ease. I had complete confidence in her ability to work independently with many projects. Jobs included painting my paver weeds with vinegar (to kill the weeds), scrubbing and oiling some house weather boards, weeding garden banks and replacing mulch onto the gardens after floods had washed much off. She patiently varnished an old stool i had sanded and made it look beautiful again. Chin Lai is a creative person and was able to help me problem solve some small tasks. She made a yummy vegie noodle stir fry. Her English is good and we had some interesting conversations about her home country Hong Kong, and her traveling adventures in Australia. She got on well with my friends. I would easily welcome her back into home again. She was an absolute delight to have around. I can recommend Chin Lai as an excellent workaway who has great work ethics, a beautiful smile and gentle nature. Wishing you all the best Chin Lai for your future and happy traveling . I hope to hear from you again. :)

I had an absolutely wonderful time staying with Michael and Jess. What was initially planned as just a few weeks turned into six weeks in the end – which already says a lot. From the very beginning, I felt truly welcome. The work was varied and enjoyable, including helping around the house, cleaning the pool, dusting, gardening and general maintenance. It never felt monotonous and I always felt that my help was very appreciated. One of the absolute highlights were the boat trips. I was lucky enough to be taken along several times including a trip out to an island, where I even got to snorkel. I also had my first fishing experiences on the open ocean, visited different beaches by boat and enjoyed many beautiful beach walks. The location itself is simply stunning, just a 3 minute walk to the beach. Also the accommodation I stayed in was very generous, well equipped and comfortable. It was perfectly located close enough to the main house to be part of daily life, but also offering plenty of privacy when needed. This balance made the whole experience even more special and really added to the warm, family-like feeling of the stay. Michael and Jess are incredibly kind, warm-hearted and open people. They didn’t just treat me as a workawayer, but truly integrated me into many family activities, which made me feel like part of the family very quickly. I’m very grateful for this experience, all the shared moments and interesting conversations and I can 100% recommend them. I would come back anytime, thanks again for everything!

This was our first workaway, our stay was so nice, thanks to nich for being such a nice host ! the house and its surroundings are splendid and was such a good break from Melbourne ... we saw so many different wildlife species, I do wildlife photography so I was in paradise ! thanks to nich !!
