Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Tabea stayed 3 weeks with us at our farm. She was helping me in the garden with planting, cultivation of soil, weeding, netting of fruit trees, landscaping and caring for our chickens and my dog. She was also a great support in caring and playing with my two year old son who connected with her instantly. Tabea worked efficiently once clear directions were given. She also helped around the house with some cleaning. She helped when she saw the opportunity to support in my every day tasks. She is switched on and came up with her own solutions whenever there was a challenge, which shows her eagerness to learn new skills. Its was great having here around. Definitely recommend her helping hands.

I had a wonderful stay with Patricia and am so grateful for the experience. She welcomed me warmly from the start and made me feel very at home in her beautiful and peaceful house. As my first Workaway experience I am so appreciative to Patricia, it was such a wonderful one! The work involved gardening, pruning, and general yard work, and Patricia always explained tasks clearly, which made everything easy and enjoyable. It was lovely spending time outdoors helping care for such a nice space. Patricia was also incredibly generous with her time. She shared great local recommendations, made sure I experienced the area, has so much local knowledge to share and kindly dropped me into town and picked me up on several occasions. She even gave me a lift to Croagh Patrick so I could do the climb, which I really appreciated. I would happily recommend staying with Patricia to any Workawayer looking for a kind, welcoming host and a really positive experience. Thank you again, Patricia, for your warmth and generosity, it’s a stay I’ll always remember fondly.

Gabriela is a very good host. The work is fun, and the house itself has a great vibe. It’s a unique experience to help around with the many repairs and fixes the place needs. The work will be demanding, but also rewarding to see the progress. Gabriela is easy to communicate, and she will try to accommodate the best she can.

We are happy to have hosted this lovely french family. The children did connect very fast and had a great time toghether, while the adults had good conversations and nice beach viewings. We are really impressed how organised and mindful you are, while traveling with three children (one is still so little :-)) and a dog. We are really happy for what you helped us in various works and we enjoyed the time with you. We definitely reccommend other Workaway Hosts, to host you in the future. Thanks for the great time toghether, and hopefully see you again. Best wishes from the whole family, Tatjana, Emilia, Adriano and Giuliano :-) A presto :-)

Marius is a helpful, friendly young man who is easy to talk to. You can count on him and he's skilled with his hands. Highly recommended and appreciated.

This was my first experience. I didn't know what to expect, and I have to say it was wonderful. Ken and Pak are amazing people, along with all their colleagues, always smiling and eager to teach and help these children learn a new language. They were extremely kind and helpful in everything they did. The school is wonderful, and this experience showed me how amazing it is to be able to contribute in a different country. I had the opportunity to spend two weeks in Phayao, a beautiful and authentic town. I will forever cherish this opportunity.

Tim is easygoing and quiet , courageous and volunteer to give help . As the contexte is totally new for him, he needs to be well explained what and how , and makes his best to adapt .. Sure that different experiences will enrich his skills and personality . So Tim , wish you many opportunities to keep improving as you want to .. Cheers

Paul originally came to stay for one week, but it went so well that he ended up staying for two months. He seemed to have a skill for everything we asked him to do and approached each job with real capability and care. Even when we were away, he impressed us with his dedication and reliability in getting things done. He showed great initiative and often identified and completed tasks without being asked. Paul was easy company, very easygoing, and quickly slipped into the routine of the property. A great person to have around and a big help during his time with us.

Blaise was a great help and great company for the two weeks he stayed with us. He’s quick to learn new things, communicates well, and is enthusiastic about whatever jobs need doing. He isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty and always looks for things to do. Blaise made the most of his stay, practicing his English and enjoying the local area. He’s respectful, thoughtful, and easy to have around. 5 stars.

I spent two wonderful weeks in Freddie's place, sleeping in a tent under a banana tree. My tasks consisted mostly in animals feeding, barro's making (a kind of clay) and creating a murales. Freddie is a very kind - hearted person and I felt part of the family since the first moment. I reccomend it if you're looking for a quiet place and you're keen to learn new things!

We absolutely loved staying with Krishna and Laxmi on their happy farm. We were in Nepal during the protests and we couldn't have been stranded in a better place. We were treated like family and were sad when we had to leave. We will never forget Marie's first Hindu birthday celebration, Laxmi's delicious cooking, Krishna's wisdom, long days in the sun and the beautiful mountainous views carrying corn back from the fields, the calmer peaceful way of life, and the absolutely massive spiders (...which were actually pretty harmless!). It's an experience we will never forget and still remember fondly. We hope you to see you again one day, our Nepali family! ❤️

I had a really nice stay with Andrew. He was welcoming, communication was easy, and the tasks were fair and clearly explained, with plenty of free time as well. I’m grateful for the experience and would happily recommend staying with him.

Philipp stayed with me for his first workaway experience while taking a break from his career in Germany. He is personable, a great communicator, willing to take on any task requested, and pitching in to help cook and clean as well. He picked up new tasks very quickly and was efficient in the work he did. He is tidy and respectful. I had another volunteer staying at the same time and Philipp got along with him very well. He was really a joy to have around and I wish I could have hosted him longer.

The first surprise was how Nate is a Master of reorganizing. Then Nate repaired and improved the plumbing and the electricity. He cemented and painted a wall, cutted bamboo to create a small fence and replaced decorating planks of wood. He added faucets and this is a huge help for watering the garden. He also embellished a small kitchen by tiling a wall and a breakfast table. Nate has often made smart suggestions which all improved the efficacy and the comfort of the property. Everything has been done at a professional level. What else ? some house and cat sitting. Nate is a wonderful friend, always in a good mood, very patient and kind. Excellent teacher, he also generously shares all his knowledge. I have learnt a lot. He left after almost 3 months leaving his bedroom and the kitchen perfectly cleaned. The doors will be always wide opened.

I would like to say thank you for this wonderful experience. He is such a kind and generous person, and he always made me feel welcome. Because of him, I came to like Belgium even more. I truly enjoyed my time there. I hope we can meet again in Japan someday! I strongly recommend staying with him. ☺️

I spent a joyful February here, with lots of laughter every day. Fabien is very warm, funny, and open-minded. He shared the story of how he built his house, which is really impressive. He also introduced us to his friends, and we spent time playing games and sharing meals together. I also spent a week with his daughter Léa. They have a very close relationship and sometimes tease each other, which reminded me of my own relationship with my father when I was young. When my friend and I talked with Fabien, we often exchanged different ideas and perspectives, and many conversations felt quite “mind-blowing.” It was really interesting. The work was not difficult. We mainly took care of chickens and ducks, did some weeding, and helped tidy the house. The working hours were flexible and we could organize our own schedule. The food was also wonderful. We had the chance to enjoy many delicious local French dishes, and you will definitely never go hungry. Living here allowed me to experience a different and unique way of life, and it was a very special experience. I wish Fabien and Léa all the best and hope this unique and interesting lifestyle can be shared with many more people

Cem is a very nice and easygoing guy, with a great capacity for decision making. He is very organized, generous, and meticulous. He's also a great conversationalist. He volunteered at the house for two weeks, and during that time he helped me a lot with organizing the dining room, kitchen, and other spaces. He's also very talented with music and creative. I definitely recommend him because he has a very kind personality and is always willing to help. Thank you so much, Cem, for everything, and I hope you have great success with your personal projects and enjoy your trip! 🤗🤗

We spent 5 days at Juan’s place and had a great experience. We helped with different tasks such as digging a trench to pass an internet cable to the neighbour, some gardening and general help around the house. Juan and Vanessa were attentive and always took our skills and preferences into account. Gloria, Juan’s mother, is very kind and cooked delicious meals for us. We also really enjoyed meeting the neighbours and visiting their small finca full of fruit trees. Thank you again for the warm welcome!

My stay with Andrew and Karen was honestly amazing. From the moment they picked me up at the bus station we got along really well. I felt welcome right away and they treated me like part of the family from day one. We experienced so much together on the farm. Andrew taught me a lot of new skills and I also learned a lot from Karen. You can really tell that they enjoy sharing their knowledge and involving you in everything. There was never a boring moment. We went fishing, camping and surfing, cooked together, took care of the animals and worked on different things around the farm. It was a great way to really experience the local lifestyle and I learned so much during my time there. What I will miss the most though is simply the time with them. They are incredibly kind and warmhearted people and I really grew to love them. I never felt like just a Workawayer. I truly felt like part of their family. I’m so grateful for the time I spent with them and I’ll always remember it with a lot of love.
