Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Ich hatte eine richtig schöne Zeit bei Christian und seiner Familie. Alle waren total nett und herzlich und nicht einmal die Sprachbarriere konnte etwas daran ändern:) Christian hat mir auch oft beim Spanisch sprechen geholfen und mir vieles erklärt. Ich habe in meiner Woche in Cayambe vor allem die wunderschöne Natur genossen und es hat super viel Spaß gemacht mit den Llamas zu arbeiten und sich um sie zu kümmern. Man fängt sogar an von den Llamas zu träumen, wenn man lange genug da ist 😂 Ich hoffe sehr, dass Christian seinen Traum verwirklichen kann und sich noch mehr Llamas kauft und den botanischen Garten fertigstellen kann! Ich würde wirklich jedem empfehlen mindestens einmal diese fantastische Llama Farm zu besuchen!!!:)

It was a delight to have Francesca. She was open and willing to learn, to try new things and was a great support in the garden. Francesca is a kind, honest and respectful person who is interested in life and getting to know others. She was good company and also happy for alone time...a lovely balance. Wishing her well on her continued workawaying.

Where to begin!! Our stay with Helena and Mutlu felt very special, we adored the environment they have created on the property, especially the focus on community and positivity. We enjoyed our time in the garden and working alongside Helena and the other Workawayers we were lucky enough to meet. We also found meal times a really great time to connect and laugh with friends! Helena is so caring and kind, she immediately puts you at ease and makes you feel part of the furniture, it was truly a pleasure to meet her and watch the vision come to life. Mutlu's cooking of course was another highlight, some of the best food we have ever eaten - alongside some fantastic stories and conversation! We are forever grateful for our time spent with Helena and Mutlu - we highly recommend to future Workawayers!

Víctor excelente persona ,muy responsable se levanta temprano nos enseñó hacer yoga y se adapta a cualquier trabajo ,muy respetuoso con todos los voluntarios ,estamos muy contentos y espero que vuelva a visitarnos.

I came to M’Hamid for a week but ended up staying 3 weeks (and would love to stay even more) because Yahya and Mohamed both made sure I felt welcomed and comfortable. The guesthouse is a real oasis of tranquility inside this deset town, it quickly felt like home. I had my own room which I really appreciated- it’s simple but cozy. I could also use the kitchen and shared bathroom. The work was very simple and enjoyable: keeping the guesthouse clean and tidy. You kinda have to manage your own work and time which I loved. No one will boss you around or micromanage, you see the work and you do it, same as at home :) it was also nice to meet the guests, some really nice people passed through the place. What I really appreciated was that Yahya accepted me during Ramadan and it was great to experience that with his friends and family. His profile says there is no food included but there is almost always something available. I would cook my own meals but often got eggs, some veggies, fresh bread almost every morning and they shared iftar (meal to break the fast) with me as well. The town is also quite nice and has everything you need, the best part is that it’s on the edge of the desert! I loved my stay with Yahya and felt like part of their family, so I hope to be back soon! Inshallah

It was my first Workaway experience, and it was perfect 🙌🏼. I was planning to volunteer for 10 days but ended up spending 3 weeks at Danny’s place. I can truly say it was the best place to reconnect with myself, pay attention to my body and diet, do yoga, and take cold baths in the mornings. All of this with a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains, plenty of different birds in the garden, and the magnificent sounds of frogs at night—sounds I had never heard before. The work is always tailored to your abilities (5 hours a day) and varies between gardening, working with tools, and household tasks. It is a perfect place to find harmony while working. Everything is exactly as shown in the photos, and there is also a warm shower. Danny has interesting friends who we sometimes hung out with. I really recommend going to the drum circle—it’s incredible! It was the perfect place to start my journey in Bolivia.

I spent four wonderful days with Karen; we worked together in the garden to clear it of weeds. I planted potatoes and a tree, and collected various types of plants. It was really lovely making blueberry jam together. She showed me around various places and told me a lot about Irish culture. It’s really nice spending time with her and having a chat. It would have been lovely to spend more time together. Thak you very much karen for the experience.

Denise and Winz were a true blessing for us! Although she was initially supposed to stay for only one week, we were thrilled that she chose to extend her stay to two months. She worked right alongside us and helped us tremendously, especially with painting, where she showed great patience and skill. Denise is the kind of volunteer who doesn't just do the job but puts her heart into every corner she touches. Having her and Winz around brought such positive energy to our place; the fact that they wanted to stay longer because they felt so at home was the best compliment we could receive. Winz is a wonderful, well-behaved dog who fit in perfectly. They were a huge help to us, and they are welcome back anytime. Anyone who hosts them will be truly lucky

Aisling was with me for a month. She was such a great help! She is cheerful, easy to be with, up for any task and is a hard worker. Her main tasks were picking up horse muck, helping move logs, and piling firewood. I really appreciated our conversations and time together. I hope to see her again and strongly recommend her to anyone.

Jana was an excellent help around the home. She fulfilled all requested tasks and was very pleasant to have in our busy home. Jana is an excellent piano player, too, so we enjoyed her music. She involved herself in the life of our community and walked with our local walkers.

Great workers. great with kids and animals. willing to learn new things and works hard.

Definitivamente con Félix vivimos una experiencia de voluntariado muy bella. Sin duda lo volveríamos a recibir con mucho amor. Pudimos avanzar más allá del lenguaje, disfrutamos mucho durante los procesos de construcción que llevamos a cabo, pudimos sentir su buena energía e intención al co-crear con nosotros esos espacios. Félix es una persona muy trabajadora, comprometida y responsable, lo que nos llevo a concretar lo que comenzamos con él, Además, tiene una energía ligera y armónica que convierte largas estadías en una serie de momentos amenos y memorables, con risas, amor, aprendizaje y regocijo.

Louise and Jules were a real pleasure to host. They helped us with many different tasks and always brought a warm, positive, and friendly energy to our home. They carried the pruned olive branches, made firewood from the thicker parts, and helped burn the remaining pieces. We also went together to our olive groves in Manisa, spread fertilizer, and enjoyed a lovely picnic there. They helped with lavender planting, collected the drip irrigation pipes, and were always willing to support wherever needed. Beyond the work, we truly enjoyed sharing daily life with them. In the evenings, Louise played the piano, which brought a very special atmosphere to the house. She also gave us a beautiful watercolor painting of an olive tree, which was a very thoughtful and meaningful gift for our family. We also had a lot of fun teaching each other French and Turkish words, especially the ones we use most in daily life. Jules made us a delicious apple crumble, which we all enjoyed very much. We shared great conversations, meals, laughs, and family moments together. We also had a wonderful trip to Bergama and visited the Acropolis and the Asklepion, which made our time together even more memorable. They were kind, respectful, easy to live with, and a joy to have around. We are very happy we had the chance to host them and would gladly recommend them to any future host. 🤍❤️

È stato un vero piacere ospitare Vova, è un ragazzo con una grande cultura linguistica, amichevole e generoso. Sono grata per l'aiuto ricevuto, spero di aver ancora la possibilità di frequentarlo e continuare le nostre fantastiche conversazioni. Grazie a presto!!

This was, hands down, one of the best hosting experiences I’ve ever had. You are such a unique and colorful family, creating a space where anyone can truly be themselves without a hint of judgment or criticism. As a staunch supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, I was beyond happy to stay in a queer household and learn even more about this incredible community. On top of that, being a vegan myself, staying with a 100% vegan family (kids included!) was a delicious dream come true. It made everything feel so easy, tasty, and welcoming. The house is perfectly tucked away in a beautiful rural area near Cologne and Wuppertal. It’s incredibly peaceful, surrounded by nature, lakes, and kind-hearted people. The room I stayed in was huge, with a super comfortable double bed and plenty of space! honestly, I couldn't have asked for anything more perfect. Life with this lovely family is never boring. It didn't feel like "workaway" for a single moment, it felt like visiting close friends. The atmosphere is so warm and accepting that every evening, after the kids went to sleep, we’d just sit together, play board games, and relax. The communication was excellent, chores were always requested in such a kind way, and they were never difficult, just routine household help and spending time with the kids. It was clearly important to them that I always felt comfortable and, of course, well-fed! I had so much fun playing with the kids. Each one is so brilliant and creative in their own way. Yordanes An absolute ball of energy who loves climbing and drawing. Emma Such a sweet, sensitive, and gentle soul (and a fellow foodie, just like me! :p). And cute Little Adi, a brilliant girl who loves monsters and sword / sticks fighting. I definitely took a few hits to the head and arms during our "battles," but seeing how much she enjoyed the game made me forget the pain instantly. Anna, thank you so much for the fascinating conversations about Judaism and Israel. I really enjoyed trying to teach you some Hebrew and I truly hope you keep learning! Thank you for the incredible vegan meals you cooked and for introducing me to the best vegan spots around—my stomach is definitely going to miss you. Also your deep appreciation for Judaism really touched my heart. Jojo, thank you for the witty, cynical humor and our deep talks about spirituality. You are such an intelligent and funny person, and I learned so much from you. Also, your Rubik’s cube skills are the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen! Fleur, thank you for always making sure I had everything I needed. You have a heart of gold and such a beautiful spirit of giving. I truly admire that quality in people. I also had a blast pruning branches with you, you are a total ninja! Your climbing skills are insane! To me, you aren't just hosts anymore, you are my friends. I know we’ll stay in touch and meet again for more fascinating (and delicious) adventures. Thank you for everything! I miss you all already!!💚💚💚

Nicolas was a very nice person and a super good teacher of bachata. We had a very good experience with him as he is open-mind, funny and he shows us to play rol in family... The fact he speaks perfect english, french and german is very usefull for language immersion so... It was a great experience for the kids and also for us!!! He can come back whenever he wants... promise you a sunny experience!

Stefanie has been a true burst of enthusiasm, determination, and initiative during her time with us. She volunteered for over eight weeks, hosting activities such as braai nights, game nights, and movie nights, assisting at reception, and leading guests on hikes and market visits. She demonstrated excellent social skills, strong teamwork, and a genuine ability to connect with both guests and fellow volunteers. Stefanie brings a bright, positive energy wherever she goes and shows a real love for working hard and working with people. We believe that if she continues pursuing paths requiring these strengths, she will achieve whatever she sets her mind to. It was a pleasure having Stefanie as part of our team, and we highly recommend her.

Vito ist ein mega motivierter aufgestellter und kommunikativer junger Mann. Die Erinnerung an ihn lässt das Herz von uns allen hier höher schlagen. Er hat jede Aufgabe mit viel Interesse und Motivation gelöst. Die Kinder haben sich sehr gut mit ihm verstanden. Er kam zur Winterzeit und da ist das Leben hier rauer und ruhiger. Obwohl wir krank waren hat er immer sein bestes gegeben! Vito wir wünschen dir alles Gute und sind gespannt von dir zu hören! Wir hoffen wir sehen uns wieder!

I had an amazing experience on August’s farm. August is a wonderful person, great to collaborate with on tasks and someone you can learn so much from about Iceland and its culture. I truly enjoyed spending time with him and his family, and they make you feel like part of the family from the very beginning. The food was also incredible. I really enjoyed experiencing traditional Icelandic meals, which added so much to the whole stay. You will also have the chance to experience the majesty of Icelandic animals, with a complete sheep, cattle, and horse experience like no other. You will be surrounded by them every day, which makes the whole experience even more special. The absolute highlight for me was their dog Erro. He will become your best friend from the moment you arrive and he truly has the kindest soul you can ever meet. Tyra is just as lovely and sweet in her own way and I feel lucky to have spent time with both of them. I also had the chance to do plenty of traveling, as the location is ideal for exploring the country. I highly recommend this experience, and I am very grateful for everything. Thank you!

It was a super pleasant experience, good to have her around but as wellshe knew how to give space. Even though she came with not so much knowledge of gardening, she more then made that up with how fast she learned and adapted! Wish you many more great volunteer stays!! Safe travels!
