Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Fue un tiempo muy grato, es una pareja altamente recomendable por su energía y su capacidad de adaptación con los equipos que tocaron en esos días. Ayudaron n varios aspectos y lograron concluir el piso de piedra de un nuevo proyecto de Cósima de barro al aire libre. Creo que fue una excelente combinación con los espacios de la huertas. Gracias .!

Devyn was a wonderful volunteer at our farm. She was very reliable, open, loving with the animals, and extremely thoughtful. She got along very well with the other helpers and was particularly interested in improving her German, which she did excellently. I can wholeheartedly recommend her to all future hosts.

Hace mucho tiempo que no contabamos con un voluntario tan excelente! No es alguien que esté aqui solo para descansar tras un largo viaje, ni simplemente por estar cerca de Köln. Es alguien que realmente sabe como ponerse manos a la obra, que reconoce el trajao y lo realiza con entusiasmo. Alguien que se integra como parte de la familia, que entra a la cocina y de manera espontanea empieza a lavar los platos que habian quedado... Hay pocos como Blanca! Blanca sabe como ponders manos a la obra y es un verdadero rayo de sol en la casa. Jugo de manera esponanea con nuestra hija menor e incluso intento entablar conversaciones interesantes con nuestra hija mayor. Observa, sabe ser reservada cuando hace falta y tiene como objetivo ayudarte en las multiples tareas del dia. Blanca, seguro que iremos a visitarte, pero por favor, vuelve pronto! Un abrazo de oso, Ellen y toda la familia

Son profil affiche que c'est un milieu non-funeur, mais l'hôte fume. Il ne se gêne pas pour fumer à l'intérieur, au repas, ou quand on travaille avec lui. Pour ne pas contamment être incommodé, il faut explicitement lui demander de se restreindre dans toutes les situations qui se présentent. Heureusement, il acceptait ensuite de faire un effort, mais il semble quand même incapable de comprendre que ce soit incommodant. Sur le plan culturel, c'était vraiment une belle expérience. Il était très prompt à aider avec la langue et expliquer de son point de vue les différences culturelles observées. Il cherchait à aider avec nos différentes circonstances et était toujours ouvert à discuter. Toutefois, Hans semble avoir un petit complexe de supériorité morale. Parler avec lui peut facilement tourner en conversations bizarres où il tend à juger de manière très catégorique certains comportements sans jamais se remettre en question. J'imagine qu'il y a une part qui est dû à la barrière de la langue, mais son usage des mots est également très intense et exagérée pour de petites situations. Sa perception de bien des choses étaient souvent très atypique. Il croyait que les végétariens ne mangeaient que des fruits et légumes et qu'on avait pas besoin de protéines pour avoir une alimentation équilibrée, par exemple. Il souhaite qu'on soit prudent et qu'on évite tous les nids de poule en conduisant sa voiture, ce qui est tout à fait raisonnable. Par contre, le voir conduire est un peu perturbant. Il conduit vite et manoeuvre assez brusquement. Il n'applique pas toujours ce qu'il demande des autres. Somme toute, c'était une expérience très bénéfique sur le plan personnel. Je me considère comme moi-même un minimaliste et le mode de vie dans son milieu est effectivement assez modeste. Ça m'a également rappelé beaucoup de dynamiques que j'avais moi-même avec mon père. Vu de l'extérieur, ça aide à donner de la perspective aux choses. Malgré tous les inconvénients survenus durant le séjour, je le remercie profondément de m'avoir accueilli chez lui.

Jakub & Francisca Thank you so much for being such wonderful hosts and sharing your gorgeous home, pets, garden & friends with me ! I so admire your energy ambition and commitment to develop organic, ecological & sustainable livelihoods. I learnt so much from you both about growing, harvesting & preserving different fruits & vegetables & so enjoyed our preserve & chutney making & of course picking the fruits initially! You are both super kind, patient & supportive & I valued my time with you in such incredible tranquil settings & the Islay's marathon fiestas where everyone in Detif was super welcoming ! The delicious food you provided, including our lovely lunches together which were such treats were all amazing! I wish you great happiness & success together & hope to see you in the future ! Muchas gracias !🙏💗☀️

What a surprise ! After two months of tough (but meaningful) travelling through loud brazilian heat, we finally found this lovely family living in this quiet and cooler haven of peace. Mika, Fernando and Eirinn welcomed us in their life and gave us their trust from day one. They are more generous than 99% of human population, and yet they sometimes hesitate to ask for even simple tasks. They offered us a shelter, time to rest and organize our room, wondelful ingredients to cook with, a comfy bed, day trips to natural parks and touristic places of the surroundings and sincere support during the harder times with our son Santiago. Everyday was a natural mix of fun tasks in the yard, organizing meals for everyone, playing with Eirinn and dealing with the lovely ''bagunça'' caused by our children and the pets. We left Santo Antonio do Pinhal with a real feeling of fulfillment and hapiness. In short, it was a really good fit. Thank you very much, we were not expecting such a peaceful end to our trip. We will meet again someday . Francis, Rita and Santiago

Fantastic experience with Alex. He is really easy going and works hard. Nice guy to talk to / spend time with. Is very gentle and very accommodating and so a pleasure to have around. Linda Expérience fantastique avec Alex. Il est vraiment facile à vivre et très travailleur. C'est un plaisir de discuter et de passer du temps avec lui. Il est très doux et très arrangeant, et sa présence est un vrai bonheur. Linda

Christian is a hard worker. He's very competent and doesn't watch the clock. He did a remarkable job renovating our wooden tables, chairs, benches, and doors: sanding and varnishing. The finish is perfect. It's truly professional work. Christian is very kind and discreet. He doesn't talk much. He stayed at our house for several weeks. We shared all our meals. There were many workawayers there at the time. I recommend Christian without hesitation!

Super grateful with Wes and his nice funny vibes that he shared in the project. We are very happy to have his support and handy skills to build a mud house. Super recomendable and we are very excited to know more about his permaculture project. Wish you all the best! Diego y Silje

Jenny is not your ordinary helper - she is a passionate gardener-permaculture designer with big aroha for nature and people. And she is willing to share her tremendous experience in these fields with you. In my humble garden, Jenny waved her magic wand and - the driveway had a make-over, the glass house a make-over, the veg beds were weeded and mulched, a new compost made, the windows cleaned, the cake baked, the dinner ready, interesting conversations and exchange of ideas and life events, books read and discussed ... Having Jenny around is a wonderfully inspiring and at the same time gentle experience! Thank you, Jenny, and kia kaha towards your further adventures! Nga mihi nui me te arohanui!

We have just spent four weeks with Björgvin, Gunnhildur and their children and we couldn't have asked for better hosts! Everything was perfect: their kindness, our conversations, the great food, the accommodation, the music, the sightseeing and the amazing northern lights! We also really enjoyed the work: putting up some OSB, drywalling, painting and whatever else needed to be done. We loved every minute of our stay!

We had an amazing time at Deb’s house .We got a comfy , private flat and met so many great people.The jobs were easy ,jus some gardening tasks and walking the dog.Don’t worry about language or anything ,Deb is very kind and patient.I’d rate this experience 10 out of 10.

I hosted Simone for almost one month. Although expectations regarding tasks, working hours, and house guidelines were clearly discussed before his arrival, our cooperation became challenging. There were also issues with respecting house rules, despite prior explanations. In addition, he showed little interest in cultural exchange or social interaction. I hope that in the future he aligns his goals more closely with the spirit of the Workaway platform and finds a hosting situation that better matches mutual expectations.

Hosting Sara from Norway this past month has been an absolute joy. She is incredibly kind and always ready to help, noticing what needs to be done without even being asked. Her sense of responsibility and dedication are truly impressive; whatever task she takes on, she does it carefully and thoughtfully. Sara is also wonderfully autonomous. You can trust her completely — she organizes herself, manages her time well, and approaches her work with seriousness and care . We shared beautiful moments, and meaningful exchanges. She is not only a great Workawayer but also a truly interesting and inspiring person to have around. I wholeheartedly recommend her — any host would be lucky to welcome her into their home.

Our stay with Therese and Henk was simply wonderful. Despite continuous rain and storms, we battled bramble bushes, ivy, and giant cacti, pruned olive trees, cleared the river of undergrowth, and shaped the vegetable garden. We also planted flowering perennials everywhere, which starting this year are meant to delight Henk's and Therese's eyes. All the work was done together with them as a team. All the meals were provided. Therese is a wonderful cook (5 stars) and created the most delicious lunches and dinners for all of us. We really enjoyed the time together and the warm hospitality! It was simply lovely!

Liam was one of the very best helpers we ever had, Even without any special skills he did wonderful work ,such as painting a wall and three doors in the new helpers bedroom, After that he was honestly extremely helpful putting new floorboards, even he have never seen this before,.. On another big (very big) project here , Liam was again extremely helpful by clearing our a overwhelming amount things in our new workshop,.. We can never thank him enough for all that ! Even helped building a brand new workbench and tools panel,.. Always joyful and in for a joke we spend most of the time together in a harmonious way,... Liam was also fantastic with our horses an our dog, who miss them now he is back to home To all future hosts,...Not letting Liam join your project would be a sin ! Thank you again dear friend for all what you have done for us !

I spent a lovely 3 weeks with Deisy and Henri in Marino! They were super welcoming and clear about expectations from the start and I felt like I slotted into their routine right away. The work is generally about helping them with daily tasks or home maintenance and projects, most of the time we worked together though occasionally I was given a task to complete independently. The hours are more than fair, I was even able to attend Italian language classes in Rome in my free time. It was a rainy few weeks so I didn't get to see much of the Castelli Romani, but it is a naturally rich area with beautiful scenery. We spent a few evenings playing video games or at the pub, they introduced me to so many local recipes that I can't wait to try out at home! Henri is a phenomenal cook with loads of ambitious projects and Deisy is caring and determined, we had some great laughs and interesting conversations! Vi auguro il meglio e tanto successo per vostri progetti, spero che ci rivedremo :)

I had such a lovely time with Daniel and Yachiyo, they are so easy to get along with and worked wonderfully. Highly recommended!! They feel like old friends.

Anouk was a very good Workawayer for me. She got along well with everyone, very helpful and cheerful. After spending time with her, I will stake my reputation on a full endorsement of Anouk as an excellent choice for a Workaway.

Yannik is a nice guy with a good sense of humour. He helped us paint the gym and with gardening. We allowed his cat also to stay and my dogs and cat were OK with his cat. Yannik is quite young and needs supervision, best to let him work his own timeline and eat when he is hungry which is most of the time. It was handy that he has the van so is independent to come and go. his English is perfect.
