Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Jonathan stayed here with me for about two weeks and I can honestly say he is a great lad. A quiet nature but with plenty of chat, plenty to say for himself and also has a good, quirky sense of humour. He is diligent with his work and in terms of what he has done for me, he invests in the task and wants to get it done right and well, which is a fantastic quality any host would be lucky to have around. He can work independently and I would say he would work well with others too. While he is a vegan, generally he is not a fussy eater and can cook lovely food too. All in all he is good company.. and we had some great conversations, laughed quite a bit, played chess, sang, meditated. Very happy to have met Jonathon and wholeheartedly recommend him.

I stayed with Karen for 10 days in March 2026 & it was a very enjoyable experience. Karen is very friendly, enthusiastic & helpful - & she asks for very little in return for a lovely room with a view over the old town of Cuenca. I did one hour of housekeeping maybe 5 times during my 10 days, a little bit of cooking, & I attended her book club as they were reading a book by an Irish author. Cuenca is a lovely town surrounded by gorges & wonderful landscapes; it is also just an hour by train to Madrid and Valencia, & a bus runs from the bus station to the train station, which is outside of the town. Overall, it was a fantastic cultural exchange & I would recommend it to anyone who loves walking, meeting new people, & experiencing real Spain, away from the costas. Thank you, Karen!

I came to the mill in the dark days of jan-feb and had a wonderfull time with two blizzards! I was sleeping in the converted sheep stable in -12 and had a blast. I did this by choice, if you're not into the cold as much there will probably be a warmer room (with central heating) for those cold cold days ;) I got along well with the other workawayer and made a mosaic around a door and painted the door itself, I loved that project. Other than that I took care of the animals, which are mischievous little beasts. They're great to practice German with (although I practiced some with humans too, they lent me great German books aswell). Aside from that there are many odd-jobs so no day is the same. I'm coming back this july to see the contrast between the more emoty winter and busy summer, so see you then!

My sister Fatima, thank you so much for the wonderful efforts you made with children, both young and old. You were the best teacher and educator. We learned correct English pronunciation from you. We traveled together and had a wonderful time. Fatima has high morals, prepares her lessons meticulously, and gives the children all the talents we have. I hope you will visit us soon. I and the children miss you. We love you so much .we wait you visit us soon

I was in great need of some peace and quiet and this was exactly the right place for me! I came on a very short notice and for only four days, it ended up aligning perfectly with helping out with the roof; the few sunny days had and could to be used! So my extra pair of was very welcome :) The amenities are indeed pretty basic, but for me it was another way of calming down and getting back to nature. The other two workawayers were lovely, we had a great time in The Pheonix. And Fionntáin is such a patient and wonderful host who knows so much about the local folklore.

Paso a Paz is a beautiful, creative, welcoming space that really invites many ways of expression and experience. Kike is an amazing host, being a very caring and open minded individual that encourages dance, playfulness, creativity while giving space for any others kinds of experiences. It felt like a co- creation, learning from one another in many different way and spending a connecting and special time. Very grateful for this experience and would always come back😊

John y Ludmi fueron una ayuda fantástica! Siempre proactivos, creativos con el trabajo y muy divertidos de tener cerca. Se integration genial en nuestra familia y en la finca y nos encantaría recibirle de nuevo. Dieron unas Clases de gimnasia hermosas y son excelentes cocineros

We stayed with this host family for two months together, and it was truly a great experience. From the very beginning, they made us feel welcome and comfortable in their home. They are such a warm and loving family, and we really enjoyed spending our afternoons with their three children. It was always fun, and we created many lovely memories together. Both of them were also incredibly kind and helpful. They always made sure we were doing well and gave us lots of great tips for our weekend trips, which made our stay even more special and exciting. Overall, we are very grateful for this experience and would absolutely recommend staying with this family!

Al8ce and Cat stayed with us for two weeks. We enjoyed the moment together. We shared the experience and teach English for kids. Alice and Cat helped me create the video and took a very nice photoes. I am so happy to host them they are so nice people. I highly recommend that you won't be regret if you host them. Thank you

Jérémy est resté avec nous environ deux mois. Tout de suite, nous avons aimé son franc parler, son absence de gêne. Avec une bonne communication, nous avons pu ajuster notre relation au temps et nos attentes. Jérémy vit dans le moment présent : très investi et attentif de chaque membre de la famille. La priorité est l’humain. Les enfants ont adoré apprendre : Jérémy est un excellent pédagogue, patient, curieux, passionné par les sciences. Entre adultes, nous avons aussi eu des conversations riches et passionnantes. Nous partageons l’amour de la bonne bouffe. Jérémy cuisine très bien. Une belle expérience et une amitié qui perdure.

Just a few days, but so full of shared experiences! I loved working on the farm with Magnus. I felt right at home thanks to his warm hospitality. I really appreciated the daily routine and how well-organised everything was: we cleaned and prepared the outdoor areas ahead of summer (raking up fallen leaves, cleaning the terraces, sanding and painting, getting ready for the arrival of the baby lambs, cooking and enjoying good meals...) A peaceful place where you can really enjoy nature, surrounded by sheep and horses — perfect for spending time outdoors and recharging your batteries! I recommend you go there – you’ll learn and share a lot :)

Arthur was friendly and easy to live with, but unfortunately his overall contribution did not meet our expectations. His level of motivation was very low, and many tasks were done with only minimal effort. Several jobs were left half-finished or completed to a very poor standard, which meant that we often had to redo them afterwards. Even simple instructions were not carried out carefully, for example plates were put beside the dishwasher instead of inside it. Overall, we did not experience the level of initiative, reliability, or practical skill we hope for in a Workawayer.

I spent almost two weeks with Noriko and Marcello, and it was an amazing experience for me. They are truly very kind people who put a lot of love into the place where they live and into their project. It’s also wonderful that they help local children, which really shows how kind-hearted they are. I learned many interesting things about Japanese and Italian culture. And most of all, I really enjoyed the great food. I had my own room, but I could use all the spaces in the house and around it. From the very first moment, I felt like a member of their family. If you love nature and cats, this place is perfect for you. Thank you so much, Noriko and Marcello. I am very grateful for everything you have done for me. I wish you all the best, and if you ever come to the Czech Republic, you are more than welcome.

Ich hatte eine sehr schöne Zeit bei Cleo. Die Katzen haben mein Herz maximal erobert und ich vermisse sie unfassbar. Ich hab in meinem ganzen Leben noch nie so viele freundliche Katzen getroffen, die vor allem fürs Bauch kraulen offen sind! Und das bei um die 70 Katzen 🐱 Die Arbeit dreht sich rund ums säubern der cat shelter und das Haus. Ab und zu gibt's auch mal Gartenarbeit. Die Kuschelpausen mit den Katzen beim Arbeiten, lassen die Arbeit eigentlich gar nicht wie Arbeit wirken. Man hat ein eigenes Zimmer und ist mit Essen bestens versorgt. ABER: am besten waren natürlich die Fahrten mitm Auto durch den Fluss😂 Ich wünsche allen das Beste! Und bin froh bei Cleo mein erstes workaway verbracht zu haben 🩷 I had an amazing time at Cleo’s. The cats completely stole my heart, and I miss them so much. I’ve honestly never met so many friendly cats in my life—especially ones that are so open to belly rubs! And that with around 70 cats 🐱 The work mainly involves cleaning the cat shelter and the house. Every now and then there’s also some gardening. The cuddle breaks with the cats during work make it not feel like work at all. You get your own room, and the food situation is great—you’re very well taken care of. BUT: the absolute highlight was definitely the car rides through the river 😂 Wishing everyone all the best! I’m really happy that I got to spend my first Workaway experience at Cleo’s 🩷

Lucy stayed with us for a month and we couldn't get enough of her peaceful energy! She is a very understanding and calm person, full of new ideas. She taught English to our students from different levels and she was able to adjust to each person's needs. We had only good feedback about her during and after her stay. We would love to host her again anytime she wants <3

I volunteered for 3 weeks here and I had the most incredible time! All the full time staff are wonderful and all the volunteers became like family. The work was very pleasant and getting to know the guests was also lovely. I would recommend this experience to anyone - I enjoyed it so much I'm considering going back next year! Special thanks to Harvey and Rafeek for being such great managers and to Kenny for bringing the party

Irini and Vassilis hosted me last minute and immediately made me feel at home. Despite their busy schedule they found moments to spend together and made sure I had everything I need. The tasks were light and it is a pleasure being around them. Also the area is beautiful and their friends I met were very nice. Thank you so much!

Josie is an amazing person super helpful, interesting , caring and very misterious in my opinion! She would be a great help in any kind of project . Strongly recommend her 🌺 luck in all your journey

Gracias por tan buena compañía y trabajo.

It was Freddy's first volunteering experience. It was a great pleasure to meet him and have him with us. He can do almost everything, he is very manual and takes care of the details. He is always welcome to us. Thank you so much!
