Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Jessamy was an absolute joy to host! She was much more than just a helping hand; kind, attentive, understanding, and full of positive energy. We loved playing card games with her, cooking together, and heading out on adventures to the beach and bush. She even helped us renovate a patio set, tackling every task with enthusiasm and confidence, no job was too challenging for her. Time truly flew by, and we were sad to see her go. We would happily welcome her back anytime!

Lora is a model Workawayer - should have taken a mold off of her to produce lots of replicas before she left. Her personal traits of being laidback yet very focused, fit and strong, adaptable, dependable and capable - not to mention having a good SOH and communication ability - are ideal. Add in her practical experience, her skills and attention to detail and you will appreciate why I rate her highly. During her time with me, Lora helped to harvest and install hundreds of comfrey root cuttings, lots of exotic tree and perennial weed control, loaded and spread mulch, and formed part of the team staining my house. Her part in all of these roles was faultless. She more than held her own amidst the banter of the 3 blokes staying alongside her for some of her stay and fitted equally well with the women who joined us in the latter part of her time here. After setting out what I have it is probably redundant to conclude by stating that I recommend her without hesitation. Look forward to seeing you again when you call back, Lora

Estuvimos 2 semanas en lo de Luz y nos sentimos como en casa. Luz es cálida, generosa, divertida y hace una perfecta imitación de nuestro acento porteño🤣. No podemos dejar de mencionar a Lina y sus riquísimos jugos y comidas. A la manada de perros, los gatos, cabras, chanchos, vacas...y Ruby!!! Una gran comunidad. Hicimos un mix de trabajo más físico en la finca, pero también un poco de pintura y pequeños arreglos. El lugar es hermoso, rodeado de naturaleza y verde, pero a la vez sobre una calle principal que permite tomar buses para visitar otros lugares cercanos. Realmente disfrutamos nuestros días en este lugar. Graciasssss

Tuve una estancia muy buena con Arnold y Anna, personas muy generosas y amables. Era el único voluntario en ese momento, pero aun así disfruté de mi tiempo aquí y espero haber sido útil. Ayudé a preparar paneles informativos (lijando, pintando etc.) para la residencia y colaboré con las obras en curso en una de las casas de bambú. Me encantó aprender más sobre estas construcciones ! Comí muy bien (cuando no soy yo quien cocina 😄) y dormí plácidamente.. Tengo muchas ganas de seguir el progreso de las obras ! Gracias 🌱 😃

Tyler, Zenovia and Metro stayed with us for a week. They are a wonderful family! We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with them and sharing knowledge. Zenovia was a well of information regarding natural remedies and healthy living. They are real foodies and we enjoyed many fine meals cooked by them. The highlight was when they taught us how to make sushi, with hands on experience followed by the delightful feast afterwards. These guys are seriously hard workers and are also long time Workaway hosts, so they know the drill and just got on with their work. They did an amazing job of cutting back a huge amount of flaxes that had spilled out onto the pathways, cut and pasted Old Man's Beard and brambles, and moved firewood and rocks for us. Metro is very talented at art and painted a sweet wee mural on our letterbox. They were just so helpful in many ways and just did helpful chores without being asked which was so nice. They left the cabin beautifully clean. We highly recommend this family to any prospective hosts. You will not be disappointed and will take great pleasure in their company.

I feel very grateful for the time I spent here. From the very first moment, I felt welcomed and cared for in a very genuine and warm way. This place really feels like paradise to me — peaceful, beautiful and deeply connected with nature. Their kindness, generosity and attention to even the smallest details made this experience unforgettable. The open communication and their warm personalities made me feel safe and comfortable from the beginning until the end. I will truly miss the calm island life, the nature around me, and especially their kindness and hospitality. I feel very lucky to have met them and to have had the chance to stay here. I will carry this experience in my heart for a long time. Thank you for everything 🌿

This was our best experience ever ! We loved it so much. We got to meet some amazing people, spend some time taking care of the animals here : the horses and the donkeys. We learned so much here. We got food and accommodation and even got some tips from the customers. We really recommend this place and we already want to go back ! Alice & Julia

I spent two weeks at Wanda and Brents place. Their garden is amazing! You can really see and feel how passionate both are about growing and gardening. The days were always structured and you were never left feeling confused or not knowing how to help out. I was given tasks, told why we were doing them, what they were for and always told that if I didn't feel safe or comfortable I could happily do something else. I loved this, it felt like I was really helping and not ever left confused or lost. I loved working in the mornings, having a tea break and then working until lunch. The rest of the day is then yours, and there is always places to explore near by! Wanda cooks amazing food! She's incredibly creative, and has so much knowledge to share. She was happy to cook vegan for me which I appreciate so, so much. Brent is so well studied on a huge amount of things! I loved hearing and learning all the facts he'd share. He's also an amazing craftsman, and showed me alot of his leather and wood work. I'd definitely recommend anyone to come here and volunteer. Wanda and Brent always made me feel welcomed, the work was never too hard and incredibly satisfying to see what we'd achieved. I learnt so much from both of them. Thank you guys 🌱❤️

Mikhaïl est un jeune homme très discret ,sérieux et vaillant . Toujours volontaire pour n'importe quel travail : dans les vignes, avec les animaux , la cuisine ,le ménage ou dans la forêt pour aller charger du bois . Passer un peu de temps à lire le français avec notre petit fils de 6 ans en contre partie Mikhaîl lui apprenait à jouer aux échecs ! Merci à Mikhaîl pour ce passage dans notre petite ferme . Bonne continuation .

Benji was amazing ! He helped us for two weeks and he did a good job everyone loved him. He can be at the bar or front desk and he will do great

Lukas was a very helpful and kind person who always maintained a positive attitude. During his time with us, he stood out for his friendliness, willingness to support the team, and commitment to every task at the hostel. We truly appreciate his contribution and the positive energy he brought to both our staff and guests. We sincerely thank him for his support and wish him great success on his journey and in all his future projects. Definitely recommended.

Wyatt volunteered in our coliving hostel for almost a month. Wyatt helped us with maintenance and he is very knowledgable since he's a mechanic. He also helped out with social activities. He got along really great with all the staff, other volunteers, and guests. We would 100% recommend Wyatt!

Hosting Rosalie was an absolute pleasure. Not only is she a lovely, friendly, talented and kind young woman, who gets on with everyone around her, but she's an extremely hard worker doing everything she is asked to do brilliantly. She was here for longer than we had first planned, which was great for me, because she got to know exactly how I liked things to be done, which meant I could leave her to get on with things unsupervised and know that the end result of her work would be perfect. While she was here she did a lot of garden weeding and clearing, hauled many bags of sand and gravel, and most importantly, quickly became a very good brick layer. She learned the way I do things quickly ,and was a great apprentice for my wall building project. I wish she could have stayed longer and helped with the plastering and tiling that we will be doing soon - (if I'm lucky maybe she will come back for another round). She was great around the house, doing household chores, often without even being asked - with everything being done to a very high standard. She was an easy person to host - not minding playing `musical beds' when we had to accommodate other helpers, who came and went in high rotation while she was here. All-in-all Rosalie was a top grade Workawayer who I can highly recommend to any future prospective hosts or employers. I wish her all the best for her future Workaway experiences. Thanks for Everything Rosalie. I really miss her calm and helpful presence and would welcome her back at any time

I enjoyed staying with Santi and LiLy, two wonderful hosts who give you a lot of freedom. The excursion Santi organized was fantastic, climbing in Arequipa. I spent three weeks there, the first two weeks climbing the Watchumi, and two weeks later participating in the ceremony, which was a wonderful experience. The place is beautiful, and especially the valley at sunset and the stars at night were like diamonds. Four beautiful, funny dogs and two adorable kittens.

I stayed with Lucas and Liza for two weeks, and it was truly a wonderful experience. From the very beginning, they made me feel welcome and comfortable in their home. Lucas and Liza are truly wonderful people — kind, open-minded, and always ready to help. I really appreciated our conversations and the time we spent together. They created a warm and positive atmosphere that made my stay even more special. I also had the pleasure of spending time with their two childrens and with their adorable furry friends — a sweet dog and a cat that made the experience even more enjoyable. The work was fair and well organized, and communication was always clear and honest. I felt respected and valued throughout the entire experience. I’m very grateful for these two weeks and for the opportunity to meet such amazing people and share daily life with their beautiful family. I would definitely recommend Lucas and Liza to other Workawayers! I hope to see you again one day 😊

FR 🇫🇷 Jean a passé 2 semaines chez nous en février 2026.

I stayed with Dora, Anezio and their kids for about one month. My work included painting some chairs and small items, cleaning the guest spaces, and hanging the laundry out. Dora and Anezio were always kind and encouraging. I also played capoeira with them, and on my last day they gave me a Roda de Despedida. It really moved me and I almost cried. I feel that I had a very beautiful time at their place, and I will never forget it. Five stars are not enough – I would give even more if I could. I wish their family the best of health and happiness. Muito obrigada!

This is a beautiful place where we fell free to be ourself. About work: we appreciate organization and discussion about the plan. Nimea and Paolo helped us making the work possible for everyone in our family (even the children picking the mandarins and cooking together). All the volunteers were involved in the workflow, and we grew together. we share good conversations, music, food (expecially mushrooms omelette!), walk, playtime. Our experience here has been so simple and so profoundly enlightening. Thank you for hosting us with open hearts, thanks to everyone of others volonteers.

I had an amazing time at this homestay, Phyll and Stu were so welcoming, generous and kind. The house and land is breathtaking and it was amazing to hear about their family history and their efforts to keep it alive to share it with others. I wouldnt hesitate to come back and reccomend it to others❤️ Thank you for having me

Matilda and Sara are 2 friends who know each other well, which made them a great team when tackling all the tasks they needed to do. They were positive and very helpful, working mainly in the kitchen and in the house for the time that they were here. They explored Hamburg and took Monty on plenty of walks in the snow. The weather was unusually cold while they were with us, but they made the most of it and enjoyed a snowy landscape. Good luck to you both and keep in touch,
