Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Mi experiencia fue realmente muy bonita. Pasé dos semanas increíbles y aprendí mucho sobre la vida en la granja, incluyendo cómo construir y organizar diferentes espacios. Santiago es una persona excelente, muy amable y acogedora, que hace que te sientas cómodo desde el primer momento. La finca es un lugar ideal para quedarse, aprender y desconectar. Recomiendo aprovechar el tiempo allí para trabajar junto a Santiago, hacer preguntas y aprender todo lo posible. Sin duda, una experiencia muy enriquecedora.

I stayed with Maria and Steven for over two weeks and had an amazing experience. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the start. They often invited me to family events like birthdays and BBQs and always provided transport. Steven was especially great—he took me snorkeling and cycling, which made my stay even more memorable. The volunteering work was very relaxed and enjoyable. I loved working on the farm, especially feeding the ducks and washing one of their horses. Transport to and from the farm was always arranged. On days we didn’t go, I helped the cleaning lady with Maria’s Airbnbs. I made so many great memories and would highly recommend staying with them.

What an amazing stay!! I stayed there volunteering for 3 weeks and this was such an awesome experience. All guests, volunteers, Jona and Jose were great people and I really enjoyed spending time, discussing and learning from them ! The work required is really correct and allows you to fully enjoy Pichilemu as it doesn't take much time every day. The vibe of both the hostel and the city are incredible, you would like to spend your whole life there ! I would really recommend this place to meet new people and improve your Spanish. A huge thank for your welcoming, I will never forget that time !! Achil

Tomi & Ana were simply magnificent! Seriously one of the best workwayers couples we have had. They always went beyond to help in any way they could. Im so so grateful for them, they came to help during a rough time. Couldnt have made it through without them. <3 GRACIAS GRACIAS!!

Samuel fue muy dedicado en su trabajo con los niños, en casa muy colaborador, muy entusiasta y alegre. Con un gran sentido de responsabilidad para realizar cada una de las tareas asignadas. Nos reímos mucho y nunca olvidaremos tu estadia en Pacho ¡¡ Mucha suerte.

It was so nice having Kaitlyn here helping us out with the project. She is a hard worker and has the willingness to help out wherever needed. We not only enjoyed her company but the creativity she brought! She even made the pups a hand made macrame toy. We’re grateful for her support during the beginning stages of the NGO and wishing her all the best during her travels!

Agradecida con la vida, por haber puesto en nuestro camino a Sander, muy maravilloso el trabajo desarrollado con los niños, siempre felices, ellos recordaran por siempre sus juegos y risas. Nunca cambie esa bonita manera de ser. Le deseo lo mejor en la vida, porque mereces cosas bonitas, por tu forma de ser¡¡ Gracias por todo, de verdad me puede reir mucho¡¡¡ Un gran abrazo¡¡

The stay went very well, Diane and Ethan are very nice. They took very good care of me, I had time to do activities with Ethan it was very cool. Thank you very much Diane and Ethan for everything.

Kathi, Gerald, Nino, Lottie, the sheep, and the four cats of their community in Wallsee are genuinely hosts like no other! The 6 weeks I spent in their home were grounding, gratifying, peaceful, hilarious, freeing, and warm. There was always food available, opportunities to cook, time to rest and to go for walks, many instances to learn about Austrian culture, and to find balance and a way to feel at home in the fun and filled daily routines of their life. Thank you to all of you for your patience, kindness, open-mindedness, global perspectives, humour, and understanding! I look forward to visiting again in the future :)

Staying with Sidsel over Christmas/New Years was a beautifully heartwarming experience! Sandefjord is a lovely town, and being cosy in the cottage was perfect during sunny and snowy weather. Following the initial adjustment of being 4 people in a small space, and navigating how the routines, and traditions of everyone could come together, the two weeks I spent there were filled with laughter, genuine connection, curiosity, exploration, walks, games, music, stories, and amazing food! Sidsel is an inspiring, energetic, spontaneous person who easily shares her passion for living a life filled with adventure and discovery, with all those around her. I look forward to visiting again in the future and a big thank you to Sidsel for having me and welcoming me into her Norwegian-Danish-global world.

I came for 2 weeks and stayed 3. This was a very rustic but charming place to switch off from the world (although the internet is great!). I loved the set up which wasn't demanding, you can choose your tasks and it's centred everyone sharing their skills and knowledge with each other. Some of the kids are energetic and a bit in your face so be prepared. But also one of them gave up their own room for me so very sweet. You have to be prepared that this is communal living where everyone gets involved but it's very rewarding. Yes the place could do with a good clean. I was lucky to be there when there were a lot of volunteers, kindred spirits and I think I met some friends for life. :) We found some good walks and a small lake to swim in nearby. I learnt a lot, was humbled and left feeling inspired.

Judy, Clark, Hazelle and Lilah made me feel at home for one week. I was able to lend a hand (mainly with painting and waterblasting) around the house and on the farm with the sheep. I also had the chance to explore this beautiful hilly region. The whole family were lovely to me and I really appreciated their hospitality, kindness, sense of humour and the good chats we had. A brilliant experience!

Really good experience with Vadim. Ethan enjoyed playing basketball with him and hanging out with him. He did check in and communicate on the WhatsApp group which helped coordinate activities.

Really a fantastic experience. Was only two weeks and in that we were able to create quite a lovely bond.

It was a joy to have Isobel on the farm, very easy going, laid back hard worker. Always with a smile and happy to do whatever we needed. Totally capable of working solo but also fit in great with our little team for group work. Very self sufficient and capable person we would not hesitate to recommend to any host. Thanks for all of your hard work Isobel!

Volunteering here was a wonderful experience and definitely one of the best hostel and overall experiences we had so far. Even though we only stayed for a short time, we immediately felt at home and wished we could have stayed longer. Matteo takes very good care of the volunteers and makes sure that everyone feels welcome. In addition, the whole team as well as the other volunteers are all lovely people and we will miss them as we travel on. We highly recommend this volunteering opportunity and would always go back if our travels ever lead us again to beautiful Las Peñitas. We miss you!

I truly had a great time at the kayala finca. Sandra and michael were super nice with us ( and also good cookers and poker players 😊). Also always helped if we had an issue. I worked on different missions such as painting walls and metal, grouting the tiles, doing a path near the river, and others. The afternoons were super chill, you can go to the city, have a walk, take a swim in the river. I learnt a lot surrounded by the nature! The city is a bit far but being able to enjoy a beautiful vue everyday was worth it. Thank you very much for everything

I can 100% recommend staying with Alejandro at his countryside house project. Ale is a generous, calm, open-minded, and friendly person. The house is located in a charming small town where you can find everything you need, including small grocery stores, restaurants, and bakeries. His dogs are sweet and well-behaved, and the property feels like a private little forest. The house and all facilities are clean and well maintained. He has a very well-organized and fair system for food, work, and cleaning. The meals were healthy, nutritious, and delicious. I stayed with him for almost a month and am truly grateful for his patience in teaching me Spanish. The work tasks were diverse, and I learned a lot—which is something I really value about Workaway.

Sarah and Crosby are both very fun to be around as well as very hard working. I truly enjoyed my time with them and I believe we will be friends for life. They were very invective and artistic in many aspects and they helped situate things better than before. Highly recommend!

I spent 10 days with Judith and Richard and had a great experience. I immediately felt welcome at their place, specially when Judith handed me a bag with things for my breakfast full of delicious surprises :). They were always making sure I could come to their place when I wanted. We had many conversations, many delicious food, many Fika :) and we went on a really nice tour one day. I could go hiking, cycling and even roller skating. I helped with the horses, cutting wood, piling up branches and some other indoors work. Thank you very much for receiving me and I wish you all the best!
