Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

I am very grateful to Rafael for his generosity and kindness. Walking with Guardian was always an experience — he has a very energetic personality :) It was one of those places that is not easy to leave. Thank you, Rafael, for your hospitality. I wish you all the best!

Estoy muy agradecida Hugo y Maria por la oportunidad de conocer Uruguay desde una perspectiva auténtica. El ambiente fue tranquilo y respetuoso, y las tareas claras y bien organizadas. También valoro mucho la oportunidad de practicar español y la paciencia que mostraron. María siempre compartía con gusto sus recetas (¡y tiene muchísimas!), lo cual hizo la experiencia aún más especial. Les deseo todo lo mejor.

We think Yade and her friend Malina are one of our best Workawayers. Even though it was their first day to Asia and Japan in particular, they were so prepared and knowledgeable in navigating Japan and overall trip. We went to Universal Studios in Osaka, went to Kyoto where they got to try Japan traditional costume, go to Kanazawa Castle and exploring the maze of Tokyo. I think without them our trip will be completely different. We hope they will join us in our future trip and we will look for more Workawayers like them. Thank you Yade for joining our family.

Minori was very excited to be visiting Australia. She tackled the job of painting our garden lights and did a beautiful job. She also spent time helping to get the garden ready for autumn. Minori loved spending quiet time on the island and enjoyed cycling different places in the afternoons. We were not always sure that she understood our Australian accents, and this led to some confusion in our communication. She headed home after her month here, to prepare for new challenges that would come with her new job. We wish her the best.

Katarina was such a delightful addition to our home. She was thoughtful and kind and fitted in well. She cooked lovely cookies for us and was attentive and thorough with the work we gave her which included cleaning, gardening and looking after our dogs. She's lovely and we would definitely recommend her.

Mariani (Mary) is a delightful, warm-hearted woman I had the pleasure to host for 2 weeks. We had lovely conversations about all manner of things and I learned a lot about Mary's home country, Brasil. While staying with me Mary helped prep several rooms of the house for painting, cleaned and organised all around the house, helped prepare meals, and occasionally walked the dog, (even though she'd never walked a dog before, she was a natural). She always did an amazing job and was happy to try new things. I can highly recommend Mary to any other host. She's a great catch!

Milena was a super star with working .We gave her the task of beautifying a small Casita which involved sanding varnishing and painting .She worked meticulously ,was always on time and has a great wirk ethic.She is intelligent and loves to surf.We also all enjoyed lostening to her sing .We would highly recommend her as a volunteer .

I spent two wonderful months in Kilpisjärvi at Karoliina's house. The whole family is incredible, everyone has their own unique personality and is incredibly calm, kind, and trusting. They made me feel at home, always inviting me to participate in their activities and giving me my own space. The time flew by much faster than I would have thought, with all the activities we shared that week. From my perspective, I couldn't have had a better experience. I've grown so much and want to came back to tiny, isolated Kilpisjärvi. Leaving was really hard, and I miss you all so much. A warm hug to the whole family and staff Letizia 😊

Fue un verdadero gusto conocer a Berta y Edu! Vivieron en la Warmi Wasi para 3 semanas. Ha sido muy agradable trabajar con ellos: los dos son amables, personas muy lindas, colaboradores y pendientes de cómo ayudarnos :) Gracias, ojalá vuelvan a visitarnos!

Owen has been an incredible support in teaching our grade 8 students. His ability and patience to connect with learners truly stood out. He had this warm smile creating a warm and positive feeling. Over time, he became more than just a volunteer, he became one of us. His presence brought both professionalism and a sense of belonging making it easy to appreciate the value he added . He will be greatly missed by all of us. Wishing him nothing but the best and hope to see each other again.

I had a wonderful experience staying with Liz for around three weeks. Even though she wasn’t usually hosting Workawayers when I reached out, she welcomed me warmly into her city house. During my stay, I helped with tasks like taping, lunch prep, walking the dog, folding laundry, watering plants, cleaning the fridge, fireplace, basement bedroom and bathroom ceiling, and doing dishes. I truly enjoyed our conversations, and her dog Goose is incredibly sweet. The neighborhood is peaceful and pleasant. While it’s a bit farther from the city center, it’s very convenient if you can use the train, and I loved walking around the quiet streets. I also spent a few days at her lovely daughter’s home, helping with taping, painting, and cleaning. Our exchanges were inspiring, and I already miss her! I highly recommend staying with Liz and her family, they made my stay a truly pleasant experience!

It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Loyd and Claire, and the little animal zoo. The area is really beautifull and gives you plenty of routes to run or walk, on which you will be accompanied by the dogs! The cottage where you stay in is really nice and gives you loads of privacy. And if you are a handyman/women there is loads of nice work to do! We started with loads of gardening, but then went to building portuguese brick walls, painting, fixing the roof(tiles) and putting in a new sewer and waterpipes into the ground. They give you all the space that you need and let you do things on your own, and even trusted us with housesitting and taking care of the animals. We went on a motorride which was amazing (thanks again Loyd) and we had a great pizzanight to say goodbye. Claire and Loyd are really lovely and hardworking people. And you will be amazed by all the love of the 3 dogs (Lima, Ollie and P. diddy), cat and the 2 horses. Is it worth staying... ABSOLUTELY!

Edward is an awesome guy and it was great having him at the men’s retreat we hosted this year. Unfortunately, the boat project we had planned for him ended up being beyond the scope of what we could realistically take on through Workaway and required professional repair. Once we realized that, Edward continued on to another island. He’s a positive person to have around, and we appreciated his can-do attitude! Wishing him all the best moving forward.

Dionny was so kind, intelligent, strong and patient with our patchy Spanish. We were involved in a small amount of cooking (as Dionny’s food is something to come for even aside from all the other amazing things), made hutches for the very sweet guinea pigs, and worked in Dionny's maize fields. The views are breathtaking where ever you look, and Alan knows everything about hikes far and wide, he also organises everything for you so you just have to turn up at the bus stop (5 min walk away). We made some incredible memories here and were so sad to leave but will absolutely return on our next trip to South America.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Atash - both as a volunteer and as a person! He has a ton of experience working in hospitality, and he brought a lot of knowledge and helpful tips to our team to help us improve. He is hard working but also such a lovely person to have around. Both the staff and guests loved having him around. We would welcome him back with open arms any time! If Atash asks to volunteer with you, don't think twice! He is the best addition to your team that you could ask for.

Sam volunteered with us in our hostel for about a month and it was a pleasure to have him with us! He was a great worker, always helpful, and he did a great job connecting with our guests and helping us build community. He's very easy going and fun to have around. I would recommend him as a volunteer to anyone, and we would be happy to have him back any time :)

Lara is very playful and simple to be around. She helped me with some personal things with her emotional release therapies and was happy to share it with the community around us. Very focused and empathic to listen and explore new things :) Also helped me paint murals in the community and gave her touch to the are and paso a paz.

I really had a good time at Vili's place. It was a really great experience, even tho i had personal stuff happening back in my hometown, everyone was so nice that it always made me forget the bad stuff. It is an absolutely beautiful place, with a lot of positive energy, and it tells. I cannot wait to go back one day, and have a drink at the bar, maybe play a little with other musician, and the great pianist that Vili is. I really wish i could have stay more. I cannot recommand this place enough, thanks Vili for the opportunity

It was absolutely wonderful having Jana with us, and such an honor that she ended up staying for two months instead of just three weeks. She was incredibly empathetic and connected beautifully with our horses. She was easy-going and respectful; we felt truly appreciated, and I loved practicing yoga with her. The most beautiful thing was seeing how much she blossomed around the horses—the sparkle in her eyes remained even when it was raining and she was out there mucking out in full gear. Thank you so much for the wonderful time, Jana. You are welcome back anytime!

It was super nice to have liv with us helping. She was really empathic and it was nice talking with her. She got into her duties very fast and she was really responsible the work that had to be done. She cooked very nice food for everyone. It all felt super hamonic and we hope to see her back again one day. Thank you!
