Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Paul was a great host. Very flexible and accommodating. We got on really well and worked well together at times. Unfortunately Jess was not there, but he spoke highly of her. The chores we had to do were not too strenuous, but there was enough to keep us working Paul required us to do. If Paul needs workawayers again I wouldn't hesitate in advising you to help him out. you will enjoy yourself.

Thank you Steph and Emily for sharing these lovely days with us. You are both very pleasant and helpful people, always with a great attitude and willing to assist with any task. You are very sociable, open to learning new things, and affectionate with people and animals. I hope to see you again in the future. A big hug! 😃✌️

We had such a wonderful time staying with Cintia. From the very beginning, she made us feel welcome and comfortable, just like being at home. She is incredibly kind, friendly, and easy to communicate with. We truly enjoyed spending time with her and really appreciated her positive energy and hospitality. This experience was very special for us, and we’re grateful for everything. We would definitely recommend staying with her to anyone! Thank you so much, Cintia, for everything 💛

Emma & Elsa took great care of our dog, Mahlo, and our home. The girls were easy to communicate with and gave us regular updates on Mahlo, which we loved! I'm sure Mahlo will miss you both very much, and we hope you can visit again soon! Thank you so much for everything you did.

I stayed here in Máncora for 7 days, where I also had the chance to teach yoga once or twice a day. The hotel is ideally located in a quiet area, yet still within walking distance to both the beach and the main road, which makes it very convenient. The property truly embraces its eco-friendly philosophy, which adds to the overall peaceful and conscious atmosphere. Tania, the host, is incredibly welcoming and makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. The yoga studio is calm area with all the props needed (blocks, bolster, belts, encents etc). I would recommend this place to travelers looking for a relaxing and authentic stay in Máncora. (note March is a warm month, the main road needs maintenance to be done therefore there is a certain amount of dust in the area). Any questions feel free to reach out.

Dimitrij was a huge help to me. A very independent and calm roommate. A very honest person with a lot of experience. He took care of everything he could and saw where help was needed. This sense of responsibility is desirable. Thank you so much for your time and help. Dimitrij me ayudó muchísimo. Un compañero de piso muy independiente y tranquilo. Una persona muy honesta con mucha experiencia. Se ocupó de todo lo que pudo y supo ver dónde se necesitaba ayuda. Este sentido de la responsabilidad es deseable.. Muchísimas gracias por tu tiempo y ayuda. Dimitrij war mir eine sehr große Hilfe. Sehr unabhängig und ruhiger Mitbewohner. Eine sehr korrekte Person mit viel Erfahrung. Er hat mir alles abgenommen, was er konnte und hat gesehen wo es nötig ist. Diese Zuverlässigkeit kann man sich nur wünschen. Vielen Dank für deine Zeit und Hilfe.

Robin only stayed a few days, but he was always attentive and present when help was needed. We have a fun jam, a nice meal and Robin spent some time reflecting and planning on an upcoming build project. Lovely person highly recommend!

I stayed with Juniper and her family when they still lived in Germany. My days consisted of relaxed mornings, walks and games of fetch with the dogs, cooking and housework, and lots of conversation about everything under the sun. Every day was a little different: I was never bored and I always had plenty of time for myself. Juniper had a wonderful community of friends and family in Germany—I met many of the people in her life and always felt welcome. I’m so excited for her move to Thailand and can’t wait to visit her there sometime soon. I know she’ll build a great community for herself there too. This is the perfect Workaway for anyone who loves animals, good food, and great conversation and also likes knowing that some downtime will be available each day too. Highest recommendation!

Anna was a delight to host. She soon felt like family and I have certainly missed her since she went back to Germany. Anna was a diligent worker, considerate and very sweet natured. I truly lovely human being. The cats in the household absolutely loved her. That is so important as they need affection as well as their daily care. Anna was very trustworthy and responsible when I had to go away for a few days. She ran the whole house and rescue. So mature for one so young. I truly hope Anna gets to come back to visit or stay again one day.

Lucas’s house is a little paradise 🌴✨ I spent 20 days in Maraú and felt a kind of peace there that’s rare to find. The apartment is super comfortable, fully equipped, and the beach is just a short walk away with beautiful natural pools nearby. The work is mostly gardening, taking care of plants, and looking after the animals when Lucas is away! He’s very flexible, no strict schedule, just get things done in your own rhythm. The 4 cats and the dog super cute and it's amazing just to spend time with them and cuddle them, and I really enjoyed my morning and evening walk with Moe🦮🥰 Lucas is a very polite, relaxed and kind person. He really made me feel super welcome from the moment I arrived. We had great conversations, we shared great meals, and I loved listening to his stories about the sea. Lucas you're the best💙 🫂 Grateful for my time there. I will definitely go back to visit Lucas one day. I truly recommend this experience to anyone looking for some peace and good vibes ✨

I am Ari from Lombok Indonesia very happy to recommend Lina and Zuzanna as a volunteer for any teaching project on Workaway. Lina and Zuzanna has a natural ability to connect with students and create a welcoming learning atmosphere. Her patience, communication skills, She approaches teaching with creativity and adaptability, always making sure that students feel comfortable, motivated, and supported. Beyond she teaching abilities, she is reliable, respectful, and very easy to work with. She collaborates well with teams, respects local cultures, and consistently contributes to a positive community environment. I strongly recommend Linq and Zuzanna to any host looking for a committed and inspiring volunteer for teaching projects. She would be a valuable addition to any program

Kim is a beautiful woman, and I especially remember how lovely she looked wearing her sunglasses. Kim is courageous, inspiring, and full of positive energy. She enthusiastically helped break stones from the old building structure and worked hard to create an extra level space for me to build a bathroom together with her friend Benedetta. Her dedication, strength, and cheerful spirit made a real difference, and I truly appreciated having her here. I still remember taking her to the moon festival in the nearby village and also to see Narangala Mountain. I wish her all the best!

Luca was a good workawayer and a friend! He helped me so much building the foundation for a cabin in the forest and making new paths in the woods. He is always ready to start with the works and help in the kitchen. We also had deep conversations and we become friends in not so much time! Hope he will come back soon! A good advice from him that I'll never forget is: *For the best things we need to be patient"

J’ai eu la chance de vivre une expérience profondément humaine au Bénin, chez Hortense… et les mots peinent presque à traduire ce que j’ai ressenti. Pendant un mois, j’ai partagé le quotidien de cette famille exceptionnelle. Là-bas, je n’ai pas seulement rencontré les enfants d’Hortense : j’ai créé avec eux des liens sincères, forts, presque indescriptibles. Aujourd’hui encore, je les considère comme de véritables amis, comme une seconde famille. Rien que d’y repenser, mon cœur se remplit d’émotion et de gratitude. La maison d’Hortense est un véritable cocon : chaleureuse, accueillante, avec tout le confort nécessaire une chambre privée, une salle de bain, une cuisine à disposition… Mais au-delà du lieu, c’est l’âme de la maison qui marque. L’hospitalité, la générosité, les rires partagés… tout est authentique. Hortense nous laisse aussi une grande liberté pour découvrir le Bénin à notre rythme. On organise ses journées comme on le souhaite, entre immersion, rencontres et découvertes de ce pays magnifique. Mais aujourd’hui, Hortense a besoin de soutien pour faire vivre son école, pour continuer à offrir un avenir à ces enfants incroyables. Il est possible de l’aider : en partageant son histoire sur les réseaux sociaux, en créant des cagnottes solidaires, en mobilisant des dons, ou même en cherchant des subventions auprès d’associations et d’organisations. Chaque geste compte. Je recommande cette expérience les yeux fermés. C’est bien plus qu’un voyage : c’est une rencontre qui change quelque chose en vous. Et moi, c’est sûr… j’y retournerai ❤️

I had a wonderful time helping and staying with Peter, Mayu, and Bobby! I stayed with them towards the end of the ski season for one month and they were absolutely lovely hosts. I helped with cleaning houses for their property management business and a little snow clearing, and even though there wasn't as much work as there should have been due to a lack of snow, it was still a great experience and I was happy to help out however I could. Mayu was great at organising extra activities like having a couple nice meals out and giving us a chance to try a snow shoeing and apple tree care experience! She also cooked up some delicious dishes including a hot pot (thank you :] ). It was really nice to have some other friendly workaways to spend time with too. Recommend visiting Nagano and Joetsu if you can! Peter and Mayu will both often offer lifts to places, like the info centre which is a really nice place to get some personal work done. Also recommend brushing up your Uno skills ;) And Bobby is just a delightful menace of a cat, who I hope continues to get better from his injuries after being rescued. Thank you for the lovely time!

Raquel and Kacper stayed for more than 6 weeks with us, they proved to be a very nice and prudent couple. They took care of our property during our 2 weeks aboard and upon arrival our dogs were very much fond of them . Kacper is a technician and he helped with lot of jobs whereas they both did also some major painting jobs. We give our full recommendation

I spent two wonderful weeks here. MD and his wife were kind and treated us very well. The schedule is also completely flexible, allowing you to organize your workday as you prefer to avoid the hottest times of day. During my stay, my work mainly consisted of scaring the monkeys away from the durian blossoms and watering the plants and flowers daily, in addition to other projects like building a piece of furniture out of bamboo. We also prepared the beds before the guests arrived. The work leaves you with free time to relax in the hammocks or cool off in the river. We usually cook our own meals, although MD occasionally brings delicious local dinners and desserts for us to try. The location is beautiful, situated by the river in a valley surrounded by jungle in the surrounding mountains, which allows you to see numerous birds and animals in the area. I especially recommend it for independent travelers, as the owner, MD, has been very busy with work lately and can't come to the campsite until late. Thanks to MD for creating this place and making this great experience possible.

Thank you so much for everything! I really enjoyed my time with you, your family, and the fur babies (Noodle really kept me company at all times, so sweet). I felt welcomed and enjoyed hearing regarding your involvement in the city and different causes you are working towards, also appreciate all the recommendations around the city and the teachings about the plants in the area. I am glad I got to help making the trail and having it all ready to go before leaving; the weather seemed to have been changing up a bit, but glad there were home projects I could help with to keep busy during the rainy days. Thank you also for teaching me make tinctures, oil infusions, and allowing me to help collecting eggs and enjoying them for breakfast - such a cool experience! Wishing you all the best.

Christina is a truly talented woman. Independent, capable of organizing herself and handling every request in a mature, responsible, and respectful manner. She's reliable and capable of handling even delicate situations with presence and maturity, and she's also a great listener. Thank you, Christina, for what you've brought to this place. I would definitely recommend her to anyone! Thank you 🙏

Hi there, we were quite happy to host them, Maurice and Yasmin are very hard working and fit perfectly with the project. They are quite flexible and happy to work at a hostel. We wish them good luck.
