Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

I am really late in writing this feedback but I think it's absolutely necessary because to me this has been a life changing experience! From the very first moment, I felt welcome like never before and the community felt like home for the whole time I was there. I got the chance to meet so many wonderful people that made my experience even more special, we shared a lot of meaningful moments doing a lot of different activities, I had the opportunity to reconnect with nature thanks to their amazing location and there was nothing better than starting and ending the day with a beautiful meditation session. I really hope to get the chance to go back someday and in the meantime I am really grateful I got the opportunity to share a part of my journey with all the people I met here. I am sure I will never forget this experience! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Pedro, Irina & their children are a lovely, close, down to earth & happy family, and we loved getting to know them. They’re clean, tidy, respectful, peaceful , and all have a very community based vision which suited us perfectly, they also got on extremely well with other people, from all walks of life. They are true travellers, happy with a minimalistic life, and were always very grateful. Communication was excellent, when small issues arose they were easily solved with a quick call. They all pitched in getting the jobs done and worked really well as a team, the whole family cooking, cleaning, gardening, and animal caring all together. The children love to play music, and we spent many a night around the fire, playing and singing together. It was a wam, welcoming atmosphere. If you host this family you will be glad you did, they are amazing guests. We recommend them 💯

I had a wonderful time with Daniela, Alvaro, and their sweet children. They gave me so many wonderful moments and always supported me. Spending time with their children was really enjoyable. They are amazingly cheerful and such great dancers:)) I miss them so much! I also had plenty of time to explore Madrid, and their home is in a great location, with easy access to buses and trains. I can’t thank Daniela and Alvaro enough for making my first three weeks in Madrid so special. I’m very grateful to have met them and to have heard about their travels to so many countries, and it inspired me so much. If you have the chance to stay with them, you’ll be very lucky!

Even if a little late, I wanted to leave a review for this wonderful workaway experience that I did between november and december because it truly couldn't have been better! Attila and Bori are amazing, always so kind and available in any circumstance. The hostel is one of the best places I have ever had the pleasure to stay in and its vibes are unmatched, so peaceful and welcoming and it also gave me the chance to meet so many wonderful people from all around the world. Talking about the job, all the cleaning duties are definitely not too tiring even if there are always a lot of thigs to do so I felt like my shifts went by very fast! I was really lucky because I had the best roommate ever and on top of that, the workawayers room is super cozy and it provides everything that one may need. Finally, the location of the hostel is absolutely perfect because it allows you to walk to the city center or catch a tram/bus and go wherever you prefer! I highly recommend this workaway experience, I am sure you are going to love it as much as I did!

I am grateful to have had the chance to stay at the Finca. It is truly a paradise, up in the mountains surrounded by nature and so many colourful birds. Our host, Sandra is a very friendly, kind person, and a great cook. We had a lot of meaningful conversations together, especially in the evenings. Michael gave us a lot of tipps, how to use the tools and let us be creative with the work at hand. Learned a lot about the different fruits at the finca, the local cuisine and in general about the everyday life in Costa Rica, which I enjoyed very much. The tasks varied from construction work like painting walls & furniture, cleaning, to changing the soil in the greenhouse, replanting some banana trees, and also building a path down to the river. I even got to use a machete to open up a coconut. I will miss everyone, the lovely hosts, my dear fellow volunteers, the cute dogs and waking up to wildlife sounds. Hope to meet again soon.

I thought I would stay for 2 weeks, but I ended up staying 1 month and left because other projects were coming up! Dirk welcomed us, me and Lili, another Workaway who is now my friend! The three of us shared unforgettable moments, which for me even served as a kind of therapy! Dirk took us everywhere with him — stunning beaches, concerts, singing circles, dancing in a yurt, cacao ceremonies x) He was patient despite my low level of English and helped me gain confidence :) Always full of empathy and kindness, cheerful every day, living with him was just easy! He entrusted the house to Lili and me for a week while he traveled, gave me his car so we could get around, and fully trusted us to take care of his home and animals. The two dogs are adorable and smart, and Pipa, the (big) cat, is very calm :) Our tasks were mainly gardening, weeding, stacking wood, planting trees and plants, cooking good meals, and chilling to the max :) In my life, I have never eaten so many oranges straight from the garden, and Dirk’s QUINCE JAM is by far the best thing I’ve ever tasted — and I mean it… just for that, I’ll have to come back x) Don’t hesitate to come to this little piece of paradise — it’s truly a gift for you! 🌞 See you soon, Dirk!!!✨

I volunteered for just one day with Kassim and his team but had an amazing time. They are all super friendly. The work is meaningful and fun

Allison is a kind person and good with the dogs, she does what she has too. She needs a little bit of encouraging in order to complete tasks, but she has a good attitude, and takes advice with no problems.

Amazing experience with Isaac in Ruboni. The scenery is insanely beautiful. Isaac is very generous and communicative. He will take great care of you and make sure you are comfortable and happy.

Arriving at Francesco's place, nestled amongst the olive trees, felt like coming home to an old friend. We had a great time together while working on various projects: planting trees, tidying up around the olive trees, building an outdoor shower and laying the terrace flooring. Francesco also offered amazing local, fresh food at the barbecue....he loves fire and is also very kind and attentive to everyone's needs, showing us the best places to swim, jump into pools and enjoy the stunning landscape with the nuraghe nearby. I will definitly come back. Thank you for everything

I spent six weeks (January-mid February) with Lucia and I'm really happy about it. Lucia is a lovely person, very busy but she still found time for me and talked to me about Italian culture. I loved spending time with the horses, improving my riding skills thanks to Lucia's advice, and the confidence she showed in letting me go horseback riding on my own. Everyone I met there was super nice. The dogs are adorable too. On my days off, I was able to visit many towns by bus or train (a 20-30 minute drive to the station). I would love to come back and see everyone (and all the horses) again.

Thanks a lot for having me! After figuring out the first few days how I could make myself useful and found out how things work (as I had experienced less flexible and diverse workaway places before) I very much enjoyed being part of this space, even if I needed to leave after just one week already. Especially the meals we shared and the conversations we had I’ll keep in good memory. He knows so much and it’s super interesting to listen to him! I hope next time I’ll be able to stay longer! Looking forward to seeing everything that’ll have changed by then:) Danke und auf Wiedersehen! Greta

Gabin y Laura fueron voluntarios maravillosos para recibir. Son personas muy agradables, cercanas y fáciles de convivir. Siempre fueron muy respetuosos con el espacio y con todos aquí. Desde el primer día mostraron una disposición genuina para ayudar y aportar en lo que hiciera falta. Trabajaron con buena actitud y siempre estuvieron contentos de colaborar. Más allá del trabajo, disfrutamos mucho su presencia aquí. Trajeron una energía tranquila y positiva, y fue realmente un gusto compartir el día a día con ellos. Los volvería a recibir sin dudarlo y los recomiendo totalmente a cualquier anfitrión.

I had a wonderful time volunteering here! It’s an amzing place, with lovely people and a beautiful large garden. There is a lot to learn and discover on the farm, the kind and knowledgeable staff members are happy to explain everything. I learned a lot about different plants, like the shiva eye tree and coffee tree’s. The process of coffee picking, drying and roasting is super interesting. It’s a super good opportunity to see traditional nepalese village life, and beautiful nature, with mountains made into terraces, and all kinds of birds flying around. The work is interesting and diverse (depending on the season of course), I was here in end February, the coffee harvest season. On my free day I went hiking with one of the staff members, this was a super good experience! I saw a lot of villages, stupa’s and temples. The food is super tasty, healthy and abundant👌🏼 It's is a very clean place, good toilet and hot shower, and very comfortable room. All in all I would really recommend this place for anyone who is looking to learn more about organic farming, nepalese village life, nepalese ecosystem and meet wonderful people❤️

This was my first Workaway experience and as someone who doesn't like Public Speaking, in the end I was Happy to see how I overcame my fears of doing the tours. The ladies that run the Restaurant/Shop are the sweetest, very motherly and their cooking is amazing. The kids that hang around are the cutest, always laughing and playing - Reminding you to cherish the simple things. The owners of the farm are also very down to earth and offer words of encouragement should you need it. All and All, I appreciate my time here - I Will miss the Beautiful Views of the Surrounding Area!

Two weeks turned into over three months. In the end, I found a kind of home here. I was warmly welcomed and immediately fell in love with Anca's cooking. Together with Alexandra, I helped with or independently carried out many different projects on the grounds and in the house. From painting and building to harvesting and tending to driving tractors and balancing 😉 There is always work to be done, so you usually have the choice of what you want to do. I quickly took the people and animals into my heart, integrated myself and celebrated at parties. It was a very special time for me and I will definitely come back. You don't often find such great places and people in this world.

had the honour of being Elaine’s first Workawayer! I can guarantee that you will not only feel safe, but also be very well taken care of. “Nobody starves in this house,” as Elaine says. She is easygoing and very open to meeting new people. She warmly opens her home to you and makes you feel at ease straight away. I had my own bedroom and even a private bathroom. I worked in the garden, walked the dog (going to miss lovely Vegas!), and helped around the house. Tasks may vary depending on what needs to be done and the talents you bring. I had a wonderful time with Elaine.

Really hardworking couple , who helped me so much at my place. Very independent with tasks and responsibilities. Enjoyed them staying a great deal 🤩

Yulinn was incredibly helpful and truly a multitalent. She knows how to cook, clean, and gets along wonderfully with the kids. Her patience, cheerfulness, and calm nature made everything so much easier for me and more enjoyable. She especially loves baking and surprising everyone with desserts, which of course the kids really appreciate!
