Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

J'ai passé trois semaines splendides chez Martine et Jean (du 9 mars au 1er avril) dans le sud de l'Alsace. C'était, tout simplement, une expérience parfaite! ​Martine est une hôtesse très accueillante, attentionnée et une excellente communicatrice. Je me permets de l'appeler une "reine du jardinage", mais c'est aussi une personne qui aime la nature, l'art et la mode — elle a le sens du style et la conscience climatique en même temps. ​Jean est un vrai connaisseur dans plusieurs domaines et il n'hésite pas à partager son savoir. Si vous avez la chance d'être présent un jour où il cuisine, c'est une véritable journée gastronomique. ​La maison est mignonne mais grande, et il y a plein de choses intéressantes à faire. L'ambiance est très calme et amicale. Le son de la cloche chante tout le temps avec les oiseaux — rien de mieux. ​J'ai beaucoup aimé discuter avec mes hôtes et en savoir plus sur l'Alsace. En gros, j'ai passé de très bons moments chez Martine et Jean. Je suis très reconnaissant pour leur hospitalité et leur gentillesse. ​Merci encore pour tout ! ​Je vous souhaite une Happy Easter et un printemps et un été très amusants et joyeux.

Lea was part of our family for just over two weeks in March 2026, and it was a true pleasure having her among us. Her calm and patient nature was invaluable to our family; she always completed requests with diligence and determination. She experimented new games to practice English with the girls, she helped with homework, and she was always available and friendly. She happily eats any food and shared meals with our family. The cultural exchange was excellent, thanks also to her excellent knowledge of Italian, which she understands and speaks perfectly. We hope to see her again soon and will cherish her friendship as a precious treasure.

Amazing helper, she know what to do, when to do it, we where very impressed and want to finish the task at hand no matter what.

as my first workaway experience, it was incredible. the attention, cure, and selfless dedication of all the staff is mindblowing! everyone knows in detail the needs and personality of every single cat and dog, and so much love is given to the animals 💕 the work is hard, especially if there are few volunteers only, but the cats are wonderful and it is worth it. the place is a bit remote so if you're unlucky and the weather is not the best, it might be difficult to explore surroundings, but managers are incredibly organized and can help with drop offs to the train station and metro. finally, the staff are all wonderful people, kind and patient, and I felt incredibly welcomed. I also ended up meeting my cat soulmate and I adopted her, which made the experience even more unforgettable✨ I will go back if I have the chance.

Wonderful couple, super helpful with handy work and cooking. Love to have then come back.

There is nothing I can write here that can truly live up to the amazing experience I had here. I spent a bit over 2 months at school, and felt so welcome and at home from the moment I arrived. Happy days of teaching across all grades, and fun evenings and weekend adventures with the boarders went by so quickly. The kids are just amazing, I already miss them so much. I can honestly say that the bonds and memories we created together will stay with me forever. I'm also very happy that the first month of my stay coincided with Tracey's visit, which gave me a lot of insight about the history and inner workings of the school. Job and Tracey are such kind-hearted, generous people, and together they make a great team, always ensuring the well-being of all the pupils. It was truly a pleasure to share my time with everyone. Asante sana, and see you again in a few months <3

Ina and Julian are two very nice souls who spent two week with us. They are super quiet and relaxed people. They helped out with all sorts of this, mostly creating the new chicken house. The are easygoing and it is nice to talk to them.

thanks you to Borche for this immersive week. after a long travel in our camping car, we felt almost at home beside the fire. Even if naturel perspective are in mutation, we found somethink to do in this place where we share the idea that a another world is possible. Thanks you for everything an your warm welcome.

Katie and Ian were wonderful hosts. They both had great attitudes and expectations were communicated clearly. We were able to grow new skills from the maintenance tasks and contribute to the ongoing passion-project of their home. We would recommend them as kind and generous hosts who looked after us very well 😊 Thank you!

It is my second time coming back here, and I truly recommend it. So kind hearted people and the vibe is amazing. 🙏🏼Thank you and see you in the future

What a pleasure to have had Alexandre giving his expertise with permaculture, digging up hundreds of blackberry roots, and putting back the terraces- plus planting the first of this year's food crops :) Thank you for all your hard efforts, and also for bringing me little fruit saplings to plant here :) So nice to have had a willing pair of hands for 3 weeks, as too much for me now. You're welcome back. Enjoy your current workaway

Ida was a pleasure to host. She comes across as a care free, fun and bubbly person who is always having a good time, but underneath that she is very responsible and always made sure that she completed the tasks assigned to her with dedication. She is someone who connects with people easily, and can always be seen having conversations and connecting with everyone, so she really made an impact towards making sure that everyone feels like a part of a family. We wish her all the best and highly recommend her as a volunteer for your projects

Hanchun was a very pleasant Workawayer, always ready to help and try her hand at learning new skills. She is kind and cheerful and always nice to have around. Although she had very limited experience with horses we were lucky to have one of my daughter's horses that is suitable for novices, staying with us at the time so she was able to go for a few hacks with us. I took her out with the ponies carriage driving and she really appreciated the countryside and being with the animals. Hanchun was always interesting to talk with and she was kind enough to make some really delicious Chinese food for us. She was respectful and considerate and worked really hard to help sort out my rather neglected vegetable patch .

Jan stayed with me for around 3 weeks. He is a plesant friendly guy. He helped varnish the balconies and fixed up some of the steps leading up to the house. He did a great job. All the best for the future Jan 🙌

Asnieres sur Oise is a charmig, calm, cozy village with old architecture and close to nature. At the time I was there most of the family members were away so it was only me and Fabienne which worked very well! Most of the tasks I was doing during my time were gardening, cleaning windows and fixing minor things on a bike which I also could borrow! I think Fabienne is a very caring and easy going person that cooked all meals from scratch with mostly organic quality food. She was very clear and simple describing the tasks and the simple rules of the house so it was very easy to understand. I could choose my work time as I wanted which gave me the opportunity to visit Paris every day if I wanted to. It was possible to take the bike (sometimes during the day also bus) to two different train stations that were around 10–20 min away. Fabienne is very nice to conversate with and can share a lot about French culture which makes the meals even more pleasant. In general I had a very good time and the room I was staying in was very cozy and private with a super comfortable bed! Thank you so much Fabienne for your care and this Work Away opportunity! Best regards Driton

I had a wonderful time with Karen. We spent the time together working and rebuilding her garden outside of the rampart of the village. She will lovingly cook tasty food for you and be present if you need anything. Open minded like, we really dug deep about a lot of differents subjects :) Pleased to have made your acquaintance

Hannah was a delightful volunteer and we really enjoyed having her stay at the Quinta. From helping in the garden, to cooking, DIY projects and looking after the animals, Hannah gave her all with everything that was asked of her and did an excellent job. She is also queen of the boardgames and as well as beating us all at Catan, introduced everyone to lots of fun new ones. Wishing her all the best on her travels!

What an awesome beautiful family! I’m so grateful for the time spent with Hakon, Emilie and Skarge. They are such wonderful and clever people, kind and hardworking, nothing is a problem for them. They bring so much joy to everything they do and we miss them every day. This gorgeous family will always be welcome to stay with us any time they are in Tasmania, I wish them every happiness in life.

I stayed with Jigear for a couple of days and enjoyed my time there. He and his family made me feel very welcome and we had some interesting conversations about the Kazakh culture and Jigear's future travel plans. Since there were no other volunteers at the time, I helped in the kitchen and the tasks were easy. A highlight for me was interacting with his mother, who is an inspiring and kind woman. I wish you good luck with your community in Albania!

Nini is a very responsible and caring person. She did all her jobs well and with enthusiasm and responsibility. She also kept the house clean and tidy, which i really appreciate. I just wish we had had a shared language to be able to communicate better.
