Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Chris joined us for a season-long journey starting in May, setting up, and stayed until the very end, closing the season. Calm and relaxed colleague who can handle any customer without a problem. I would also like to point out his superpower in space management, in which he is a master. As a real Croatian man, he knows how to relax on a day off, but also surprise the whole team with some out-of-this-world cookie barbecue experience. Chris, if you thought you were late with feedback, check me out.

I was truly happy to meet Arianna, because she is a very sweet and sensitive person. Beyond the huge help she gave me at home — from cleaning to taking care of the outdoor spaces, and in the kitchen as well — she took care of me many times, and that meant a lot to me. We shared beautiful moments around meals, sometimes I cooked, sometimes she did, and that brought us a lot of joy. But it wasn’t only that: we also had moments of reflection and personal growth. I know it was important for her, and even if I may not have told her enough, it was very important for me too. Through this experience, I also made several steps forward, especially in how I relate to other people.

Best experience ever! The Host Natasha is really the nicest person we've ever met and so is the Team! Everyone was so welcoming and sweet! We really experienced the Sri Lankan culture in the most beautiful way and loved to work with them! The hotel, the pool, the location and the view is amazing! We can't wait to come back! It really feels like our second home now!

Our experience with Gonzalo was truly inspiring. He taught us about the nature, animals and farm life which was interesting in many ways. We spent christmas with him and his family which truly was an honor sharing the evening with them. We also did a language exchange and had some spanish lessons which was great. Gonzalo also showed us many beautiful nature areas and even took us to an auction for the horses and cows, such a fun experience! Thank you Gonzalo for letting us stay in your house and teaching us spanish and the ways around your farm. We are very grateful and miss you and the animals already!

My first Workaway with İbrahim, Ümmu, and their family was amazing. I stayed with Ibrahim and his family for about a week. Unfortunately, it rained most of the time, so I couldn't help out with the outdoor work as much as I wanted to. However, my stay with this warm-hearted family became an unforgettable experience for me. They welcomed me and invited me for chai, where we spent a relaxing time chatting like a real family. Ibrahim is an incredibly hospitable person. He often said, "I do Workaway not for the labor, but for cultural exchange and communication," and he truly lives by those words. The village of Dalaman is quiet, beautiful, and the people are exceptionally kind—someone even treated me to a meal at a local restaurant! If you are looking for a place with authentic connection and warmth, I highly recommend staying here.

We truly enjoyed Hilary's hospitality, conversations, and trust. We were welcomed with open arms and immediately felt at ease. She has created a wonderful place for workawayers to stay, with all the amenities. The dogs, Arya and Leo, and Henny the hen made the stay even more wonderful. Each with their own beautiful personality and a real need for cuddles! We will miss the walks, sunrises, sunsets, and play sessions! Thank you so much, Hilary, for the wonderful time!

Overall this was a positive experience where we met wonderful people from around the world who became lasting friends. There were some housing issues that weren't clearly communicated before arrival, but the hosts worked hard to accommodate us. We're an older couple with specific skills, which matched what they were seeking. However, we discovered we were looking for a different kind of experience than what the placement offered. We'd highly recommend this for younger volunteers wanting authentic off-grid farming and intentional community living. Jules is welcoming and easy to communicate with, which makes the experience enjoyable for the right fit.

I stayed with Hubbert for the month of December and had an amazing experience. Working with wood was a highlight. He's a great teacher who’s patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoys sharing his skills. He’s also a very good host who made me feel comfortable and welcome from the start. By the end of my stay, he felt more like a friend than just a host. I’m really grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend staying and working with him.

Parcero muchas gracias por tu energía y esa paz q transmitió a toda la montaña gracias por cuidarla y cuidarlos a panda coco y bobo te espero en un futuro Papo q bueno conocerte amigazo🤗

🫶🏽 Bridie & Dylan were a joy to host. 🌻Bridie es sorprendentemente fuerte, sensible, con gran sentido del humor y una energía imparable (no se rinde jamás) 🪓Dylan es tranquilo, muy atento and he’s humble about his skills,. Escucha, propone con respeto y ejecuta con mucha determinación, siempre superando expectativas. Como pareja son independientes, comprometidos y muy fáciles de guiar: si se explican bien las tareas y expectativas, las cumplen (y las mejoran). 🤗 Totalmente recomendados 💕

Madeg was a really super Workaway to have had here with us on our small farm. She was most enthusiastic and helpful, always completing her tasks efficiently. She sowed seeds, did vegetable weeding and a lot of tree pruning and clearing up of cut branches. Madeg is very friendly at all times, sharing her interesting travel experiences. She came for a second visit over Christmas, which we really enjoyed too.

J’ai séjourné chez Dany et Gérard pendant trois semaines. Le séjour était confortable et je me sentais comme chez moi. Le travail n’était pas trop dur, même si j’avais peu d’expérience en bricolage. J’ai travaillé de 9h à 12h en semaine, donc j’avais beaucoup de temps libre.
 Dany était très gentille et amusante. Gérard aussi, il m’a beaucoup aidée pendant le travail. Ils étaient très sympathiques.Ils étaient flexibles et faisaient toujours attention à moi. Ils m’ont aussi aidée à améliorer mon français. Avant le dîner, ils avaient l’habitude de boire du vin en écoutant de la musique devant le feu. J’ai beaucoup parlé avec eux pendant ces moments. J’ai passé un très bon moment à la campagne, à Vauvenargues. Cette expérience était très importante pour moi. Merci beaucoup à Dany, Gérard, Ulysse et Stella pour tout !

We had a very nice time with Julieta. She is a peaceful an very respectful person, clean and organice and allways ready to help. She spend time babysitting my 4 year old and he adore she. I feel her like family. We being traveling and wile camping toghether and had fun swimming on cold water fall. Julieta, I appreciate a lot all your help. You are allways wellcome at our home. Thanks Julieta!!!

Wow ! I stayed 3 nights at Alex and Annie place and Alex received me like if I was part of the family. The house he builded is magical on top of the Valley and with special energy. I cured my sciatica pain in his dojo taking time to stretch like I never did. Alex is a character and communication can sometimes be hard but he is a good person and really open to help you trought what you are dealing. As I am organised and I like things to be neat I matched pretty good with Alex mood. He's used to sail and cook on boat. And it's important for him that you respect the rules but once you get it it's pretty easy to enjoy yourself there. So just be ready to disconect from your phone and enjoy! Merci beaucoup Alex et Annie !

Tiago was a big help and very reliable company for several months. He came to us directly from Germany and brought a lot of good will and curiosity. He did his tasks well and explored the vicinities of the hotel, walked the beaches and went surfing. He certainly made some new experiences and discoveries here. We wish him a good continuation of his trip and more Workaway places and good vibes!

Yo y Lea acabamos de terminar este increíble intercambio y experiencia de Workaway con Eva y Christian en Tarifa. Nos quedamos con ellos durante dos semanas, del 7 al 23 de enero de 2025, y pudimos formar parte de la construcción de la finca y de la producción de queso, yogur y kéfir a partir de la leche de las cabras (hay por vuelta de 80!! :)) que crían en la propiedad. El acuerdo con Christian y Eva fue que compraríamos y prepararíamos nuestra propia comida y trabajaríamos menos horasal día, algo que nos pareció muy positivo, ya que nos permitió disponer de tiempo libre por las tardes, especialmente en los días de buen clima, para salir y conocer la zona. Llegamos en un momento muy oportuno, ya que estaban realizando algunos cambios, por lo que hubo bastante trabajo durante esas dos semanas y pudimos participar activamente en el desarrollo de la finca. Entre las actividades que realizamos estuvieron la limpieza y distribución de cal en el establo para la desinfección, ya que llegamos en una época muy húmeda y fue necesario limpiarlo debido a una bacteria que estaba afectando las pezuñas de las cabras. También cortamos madera para leña, ayudé en la preparación del hormigón para cubrir la sala de herramientas, limpiamos los Airbnbs, participamos en la limpieza y producción de yogur, en el ordeño, la alimentación de las cabras, la lactancia y la ayuda en los partos de las cabritas, ya que llegamos justo en el momento en que muchas cabras estaban teniendo crías. Otro aspecto muy interesante de la experiencia fue que toda la finca funciona con energía eléctrica proveniente de un sistema de paneles solares. Como ingeniero, fue especialmente enriquecedor poder entender cómo Christian diseñó y montó todo el sistema eléctrico y su funcionamiento en el día a día. En cuanto al alojamiento, la caravana está muy bien preparada, es cómoda y funcional, y el baño cercano cuenta con agua caliente, lo que hace la estancia agradable. Durante el invierno puede hacer frío por la mañana, ya que el calefactor de la caravana es a gas y no se deja encendido durante la noche por razones de seguridad. Sin embargo, la caravana se calienta rápidamente al encender el calefactor o calentar agua en el fogón, gracias a su tamaño reducido. En general, Christian y Eva nos recibieron muy bien, la comunicación fue excelente y hubo flexibilidad para que pudiéramos visitar las playas cercanas y salir los fines de semana a conocer ciudades muy bonitas de los alrededores, como Ronda y Granada, entre otras. Recomendamos a los futuros workawayers llegar con coche, ya que facilita mucho la movilidad y permite hacer compras en supermercados cercanos y organizar mejor el tiempo libre. Queremos agradecer sinceramente a Eva y Christian por acogernos, por la confianza y por compartir con nosotros su proyecto y su forma de vida. Ha sido una experiencia muy enriquecedora y la recordaremos con mucho cariño

Gracias Julie! We had a positive experience with Julie; she is very energetic and has a lot of initiative and social engagement. She made some really nice puddings , sweets and empanadas and was always ready to offer her help and assistance. We passed some precious moments with her and the other Workaways, played some music and had a merry time. We wish her some more valuable experiences to cherish!

Everyone should have the chance to meet Leticia, Ivan, and Rada ! We spent 10 wonderful days with their family. They gave us a wonderful welcome and are very kind, warm, and attentive people. We had a great time with Rada playing, building a hut, crocheting, inventing games, telling stories, making pancakes, playing in the snow, and more. Rada is a very bright child, full of joy and very intelligent. Thank you for your trust and for sharing this wonderful experience with us :)

Carli!!! We all miss you so much and your beautiful smile and fun nature! We also miss your very handsome boyfriend and we hope you both will come back to visit for sure!! The dogs are doing well and always looking for another friend to walk with! Can’t wait to see you again 😘
