Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

I had such an amazing, but unfortunately short, 2 weeks staying with Dominik and his horses. Dominik is such a great guy, very kind and always making sure everything was going well! He taught me anything i needed to know and didn't and even some stuff i didn't need but wanted to know:) Getting to spend time with the horses was so great, they are incredibly gentle considering their size and always curious of what your doing and if they can nibble on it! The work isn't hard and there's plenty of time to do stuff you want to do, or just to chill. I really enjoyed my stay here and i very much recommend it!

Kay and Maxime helped in different areas of abbey life, especially in the park and in the kitchen, as well as with some other indoor and outdoor tasks. They were flexible and generally open to discovering the life and rhythm of the place. Kay also showed a real interest in learning French, which created some nice moments of exchange. Their stay was an opportunity for them to discover a new environment and way of life.

Alexandra stayed with us for a few weeks and it was a joy to have her around. She did different services with enthusiasm and an open heart, always attentive to others and often showing initiative. She take care finishing what she starts and works with care. She particularly enjoyed working in the park and helping with milking the cows. Thanks Alexandra for your help and your beautiful energy !

I had such a wonderful time at the farmhouse, memories of which will warm my heart for years to come. Not only did I meet a lot of great people who were a pleasure to be around but I also had an opportunity to reflect on my life while enjoying beautiful nature. Furthermore, I learnt new skills and plenty of interesting facts about the local way of life. Vielen Dank, Irene & Ruedi, Rosmarie & Peter! Bis bald!

Robin & Erik spent a couple of weeks with me, they've been super helpful, kind and open minded. They eve super good problem solving skills and a good proactivity. I extremely recommend them as a volunteer you will definitely have an amazing team helping you. They become now friends of me and the doors of my house will always be open for them.

Teuni and Pim stayed with us for a month and we did so much while they were with us. Lots of different projects, they were fast learners and got stuck into whatever needed doing. We enjoyed evening meals, nights around the bonfire with our neighbours and they helped with our Halloween party too. They stayed in our gite with their well behaved collie and left it absolutely spotless! Highly recommend them to other hosts!

We spent two weeks with Nano and the community at this place. It was such a pleasure and Nano really went above and beyond to make our time there the best we could have. We mentioned we like dancing, so he organised that we even danced salsa and bachata all together :) The neighbourhood is quiet and comfortable and the other volunteers were also very kind and sociable. The place Nano is creating feels like an oasis and we would love to come back. Muchas gracias por todo! 💞

Nico is probably the most generous person we met in our ten months of traveling. He is an amazing cook, and we shared many meals and fun days together in Puerto Natales. The hostel is like a second home, very warm and cozy. Many guests love it so much that they extend their stay and become a part of the family for a little while as well. The work was fun, mostly keeping the place clean and checking the guests in and out. Anyone would be lucky to be a volunteer here and get to know both Nico and the hostel! We would love to return one day:) Much love Nico!!

Aki came to my farm in November 2025 and stayed for over four months. He was a wonderful person to have around, positive, hardworking, easy to talk to and always resourceful. He fit in very well at home and was a real pleasure to have as part of daily life and in the household. He was great with animals, skilled with practical tasks and always willing to help. I have only good things to say about Aki and I would warmly recommend him to anyone thinking of welcoming him into their home.

I had a truly beautiful experience staying and volunteering on Claudio’s land. The place is full of life, especially the wonderful plum trees and the chickens happily wandering around, creating a peaceful and authentic countryside atmosphere. It was the perfect environment to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the simple rhythm of daily life. During my stay, I was happy to contribute in different ways. I helped paint the wooden walls to protect them from the rain and strong sun, and I also supported the construction of a wooden house for his daughter. It was meaningful to be part of these projects and to learn practical skills while sharing time and energy together. Claudio and his girlfriend Delia were generous, warm-hearted hosts and truly inspiring people for cultural exchange. From the very beginning they made me feel welcome and included. We shared great conversations, experiences, and many genuine moments of connection. I am very grateful for the time I spent there and everything I learned.

We had a wonderful three weeks with Cata, Juan, and the kids. We helped with gardening and construction projects in the mornings and early afternoons, and finished work days with lunch all together. The neighborhood is an awesome place, a ten minute walk from a beautiful river and trails all around it. The kids are the cutest and the family very generous with showing us Bariloche, helping with our Spanish, and teaching us what it’s like to build using natural construction!! An unforgettable experience, thank you Cata and Juan! Sending much love:)

Right from the beginning, there was clear communication. As clear as it can be. I sensed so much warmth in Rosine’s messages even before I met her, and meeting her, I felt it even more. Everything was clarified, well-structured, and put forward in words and actions. I really did not have a single doubt about the sessions, timetables, or anything else. Everything was communicated. Every morning she would send me the hours before I even asked. Obed was always a message away whenever I needed to go to a class or the local market. Being part of this project was like a breath of fresh air after working on projects in other African countries where getting a simple timetable was an elephant’s task! And I really appreciate organization. The empowerment sessions especially presented me with an opportunity to understand (to a degree) how Rwanda’s youth think and act. The boys’ sessions were a blast, mostly because they had loads of questions for me at the end, and that’s the point of it all, after all! For them to be curious. And question. Meeting people from all over the world is possibly just as (I think ‘more’) important than gobbling up a thousand textbooks. It opens them up to new horizons, budding possibilities, and an intangible knowledge pool. And exposing them to ‘foreigners’ is a commendable way of sharpening their ideas of the world outside of Rwanda. Rarely have I come across a project where things are so well-coordinated and organized! Kudos to all of you for putting in the effort! Keep up the incredible work. Yvan was even prepared to find a village witch once I asked, though I am glad we didn’t have further discussions on that! He probably would actually have found one. And thank you for the clean toilets! Loved it! Josine works really hard all day to keep the volunteers’ house clean and tidy. Really. Thank you for having me. I am grateful to have known Rwanda through this project. I wish I could stay longer.

Elo was a wonderful Workawayer and a great support during her time with us. She has an incredible eye for detail and worked very precisely in everything she did. Elo helped us sort through many things in our big, sometimes chaotic household and brought so much structure and clarity with her calm and thoughtful way. She supported us with many different tasks around the farm and was always reliable, kind and easy to have around. Elo is a very pleasant and warm person and it was truly nice to share this time with her. We are very grateful for all her help and for the lovely time we had together. We miss her already.

Maya was an absolutely wonderful Workawayer and a truly special presence here on our farm. From the very beginning she supported us with everything that needed to be done and somehow had the beautiful ability to make everyday life feel light and easy. She helped with all kinds of tasks around the farm and was always kind, reliable and engaged. Maya brought such a lovely energy into our home and left a lasting impression on all of us. We also loved listening to her incredible stories about her study trips to the Amazon — they were so fascinating that I still find myself telling people about them today. We miss Maya very much and are deeply grateful for the time she spent with us. We truly hope that our paths will cross again one day.

Frederikke was an absolutely wonderful Workawayer and we already miss her more than words can express. From the moment she arrived, she brought such warmth, kindness and calm energy into our home and our daily life on the farm. She helped us with everything around the house, the animals and all the small and big tasks that come with farm life, always reliable, thoughtful and with a beautiful attitude. Frederikke is also an incredibly talented cook and baker and has a wonderful understanding of healthy, nourishing food. She prepared the most delicious meals and baked amazing treats for all of us — during her stay we truly felt cared for and supported, and it made our everyday life so much easier. Frederikke was also incredibly sweet with the children and quickly became a natural part of our little community. Having her here felt so easy, warm and natural. To be honest, while she was here my everyday life almost felt like being on holiday. Her presence meant a lot to us and we are deeply grateful for the time we shared together. We miss her every single day and we are sure that we will see each other again.

Lena came to stay with us 12th Feb to the 7 March 2026. She was a super girl and we enjoyed having her to stay with us in Alicante. Lena was easy to be with and got on with her work in a keen and willing manner, Lena was a superb horse rider and was very helpful with the exercising of the horses. Unfortunately the weather during her stay didn't help us as it was impossible to do the riding that she could have done. Lena got on very well with all the other girls that were here during her stay. Lena was very easy to get on with and she was very clean and tidy around the house. Lena appreciated my efforts to cook for her as she is vegetarian and this pushed me out of my comfort zone, but it got me to think out the box about vegetarian meals and I enjoyed the challenge. We were sorry to see Lena go. Lena did some excellent gardening work for me and was super with the dogs and donkeys too. A nice workaway experience for her and us.

Lucy was a wonderful Workawayer and we really enjoyed having her with us. She always helped kindly and reliably with everything around the house and farm, and she was especially sweet playing with the children. Lucy is a warm, friendly person and it was a pleasure to have her here. We are very grateful for her help and her lovely presence during her stay.

David stayed here for 2 weeks and was a fantastic support. He is a highly skilled and experienced carpenter, as well as having the capacity to take on all kinds of tasks (except perhaps cooking for others). He took initiative and came up with creative solutions to problems, takes great care of tools and spaces, and undertakes everything calmly, thoroughly and quickly. It was a pleasure to have him around and get to know him a little. He is very independent and happy on his own, yet also up for a good conversation. I wish him well and hope to see him back here again.

I had a wonderful six weeks staying with Eric, Nastassia and their kids. They are incredibly warm, generous hosts who made me feel at home from the moment I arrived and always made sure I had everything I needed! The work involved cooking healthy meals, some tidying and light cleaning, and occasionally helping with the kids. Everything was clear and very manageable. One of the best parts of my stay was improving my French. They kindly included me in conversations and patiently slowed down or repeated things when needed. Their youngest was learning new words so quickly while I was there, which was adorable, and their eldest often helped by correcting my accent :) The house is very spacious, and the apartment is perfectly located for exploring beautiful Montréal. I’m very grateful for such a positive experience and would highly recommend staying with them!

The wonderful Corinna is completely immersed in our everyday family life and has spared no time and effort! Whether gardening, learning English, ice bathing or spending time with the children, she has done everything more than 100%. She has adapted to our rhythm and brought a lot of fun into our full everyday life. She can sing great, is super creative, open, friendly, attentive and very humorous. She participated with us in a socio-cultural event and lives very sustainably. We will definitely keep in touch!
