Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Dos semanas maravillosas! Muchas gracias a Dani y Ema (y también a Santi) por compartir momentos de risa, historias y por permitirnos de vivir y descubrir este lugar tan chimba. Una de las experiencias más intensas de Colombia. El Choco es mágico, como también las personas en el hostal. Lo recomendamos a todos!!!

I had a lovely stay with Fidelma and Pat. They are very experienced in hosting Workawayers, and you can really tell. The workdays are well organized, you get enough breaks, and you still have plenty of free time. They are very kind and genuinely interested people who always made sure I felt comfortable. There are many things to do in the area, and the seaside is not far away. There are buses close to the house, but they often kindly offered me a lift as well. Thank you, Fidelma and Pat, for this wonderful experience! 🌟

Fueron parte de la familia, fue un tiempo hermoso de vida junto a ellos, con la mejor disposición siempre, es muy interesante recibir realeza en casa!! Mi hija tuvo al mejor maestro de la historia, aprendió un idioma de manera artística, amable y con mucho entusiasmo, siempre con el mejor humor, con respeto, cariño y buena disposición para ayudar, apoyar, escuchar y trabajar para los animales. Nos sentimos afortunados que hayan elegido este rincón del mundo, donde los animales son lo principal. Esperamos verlos en algún momento, los recordaremos siempre! Fafita, Ñaño y Angi.

una experiencia hermosa que vivieran el dia a dia con todos los animales, siempre apoyaron con entusiasmo cada actividad, fueron muy amables y respetuosos, conversaciones interesantes e historias de vida, muchas gracias hermosos! quedan en nuestro corazon, buen viaje por el mundo..Fafi, Ñaño y Angi.

I spent two and a half months with Erika and Greg, including 10 days one of their friend's home to petsit their dog while they were abroad. I couldn't have hoped for a better welcome or a better place to stay. Erika was always very attentive to me. I felt very comfortable in their home, like a member of the family, sharing every meal with them. I loved spending time with the cats, each one cuter than the last. The exchange was more than fair. My main tasks were feeding the cats and tortoises (especially when Erika and Greg were away), cleaning the litter boxes, tidying the house, and other small weekly chores like sweeping the patios. I also trimmed some shrubs in their garden. And I cooked a few meals and baked some cakes. I had plenty of time to explore or simply relax. I was also able to spend several days in Gozo. I thank Erika and Greg again for having welcomed me for all this time and for everything they have done for me.

Miranda stayed for 3 weeks and took great care of Hugo. She did everything we asked of her and enjoyed her time in the village of Stoneyford. Hugo enjoyed his time with Miranda too. She communicated with us regularly and was responsible. I would recommend her for other Workaways. Thanks Miranda

Good at work with team Thank you so much for the contributing toward better at our hostel best of luck

Jules and Dave were lovely and welcoming hosts. They have a full, active lifestyle with lots to do in the garden, with the animals and around the house. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to make the most of their time outdoors.

Bartek stayed with us for two weeks, and it was a true joy to have him in our home. He is a remarkably kind, active, and generous person who integrated perfectly into our family life—he truly felt like a brother to us. ​As a highly experienced TEFL teacher, Bartek was an incredible asset. He stepped in to cover my classes, teaching with genuine passion and energy. He clearly loves teaching and connected effortlessly with the students; they learned so much from him in a short time. ​His generosity was overwhelming. He: ​Treated our family to a wonderful dinner at a very high-quality restaurant. ​Brought many thoughtful gifts and sweets for everyone. ​Joined us for a safari to see the elephants and even attended a traditional Sri Lankan wedding with us! ​Beyond his work, Bartek helped me personally by giving great advice and helping me find a better balance in my life. He shared everything with us and had a positive, easygoing attitude throughout his stay. ​We all love him dearly and cannot wait for him to return. We highly recommend him to any host!

Words might be insufficient to describe how great this project is. The team is made up of the most humane people I have ever met. So many wonderful conversations arise, so many meaningful connections are made in the camp. It is simultaneously exhilarating to discover the beauty of each individual at depth and utterly enraging to face the rotteness of a socioeconomic system that prioritises profit and accumulation over holistic well-being. All in all, I couldn't recommend this project more. It will surely transform your view of the world and make you more connected to the great community that humankind incarnates.

Lia es una muy buena ayudante, muy preocupada y dispuesta ayudar. En el tiempo que estuvo con nosotros nos ayudo en la recepción, mantener ordenada la casa de backpackers y lavandería. Fue muy amorosa con los clientes y siempre estuvo dispuesta ayudar. Tuvimos una muy buena experiencia con ella y esperamos que siga encontrando buenos lugares para hacer workaway. Gracias por todo!!!

My stay with Celine and Eric was truly incredible. I was with them for just over a month, and it felt really special from start to finish. They are amazing, super kind people who went out of their way to make everything even more memorable. The apartment—right beside the main house—has everything you could possibly need. It's super cozy, with a fully stocked kitchen, a nice bathroom, and a laundry machine that made recharging between adventures effortless. The incredible view was the cherry on top. Their animals are adorable, and the fresh eggs from the chickens were the best I've ever tasted. During the day, I spent my time painting outside mainly, with a couple days painting inside. For me, it was peaceful and the perfect setting to listen to music or an audiobook while I worked. I also got to explore the area: I visited Monaco twice, Nice twice, Antibes twice, Cannes and Italy as well. The South of France is such a magical place and I hope to return soon. Celine and Eric were always happy to check in and see if I needed anything. They never hesitated to drop me off at the train station for day trips. One highlight was going snowboarding, Eric even lent me all the gear I needed! This was a truly unforgettable experience. I'm already missing it and will cherish these memories forever.

Betul stayed with us for a month, and it was a joy to have her in our home. She is a remarkably kind, active, and generous person who truly integrated into our family life. ​She has a huge heart and was always thinking of others. She often bought sweets for the family, and the highlight of her stay was the wonderful surprise birthday party and dinner she organized for me—it was a gesture I will never forget! ​Betul was also a fantastic help with our students. She: ​Taught English with genuine passion and energy. ​Clearly loves teaching and connected well with the children. ​Joined us on a trip to Sigiriya, where she was a great travel companion, sharing costs and enjoying every moment in nature. ​She is a very positive, nature-loving girl who never had a single complaint. She shared her life with our family as if she had always been part of it. We miss her energy and hope she can come back to visit us very soon! ​We wish her every success in her future adventures. Anyone would be lucky to host her!

NINE was absolutly fantastic! She was flexible, ready for everithing was asked her, strong and efficent. On a social and personal level she is a very good company: curious, nice and indipendent. I fully raccomand her and I really miss her!

I have been at Torbens place two times, one time in summer, one time in winter. Both times were great experiences! Torben was a wonderful host! I felt very comfortable, he was easy-going and funny. Communication with him beforehand was very good, quick and clear, and the tasks were very varied. He was very helpful with any questions, had good tips for excursions and stories to tell about the Faroe Islands. Torben has two houses: one in Torshavn (which used to belong to his mother), from where it is only a few minutes' walk to the city centre. The other is on the neighbouring island of Nolsoy, a wonderful little island. Both houses are beautiful and offer enough space, even if there is another Workawayer there. I can highly recommend Torben and will definitely be back! (And I recommend the Faroe Islands at every time of the year!)

I spent 7 beautiful days at this hostel in My Tho, and I feel truly grateful for this experience. Thu is such a kind, open-hearted, and generous host. From the first moment, she made me feel welcomed. The atmosphere in the house was warm, peaceful, and full of positive energy. She showed me the most authentic sides of the city — we walked through local neighborhoods, ate at the most delicious family restaurants, and visited a temple together. It felt like a real cultural exchange, not just volunteering. Everything was comfortable, and I always felt welcome and supported. And I have to say — Thu cooks incredibly delicious food! Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. I will always remember My Tho with warmth in my heart 💛

Jeppe and Marina stayed with us for three weeks, and everything went really well. They really fit into the place and the family - our kids still ask for them! They were very adaptable to all tasks and conditions, not afraid of bad weather and also very respectful regarding work and house/project rules in general. Thank you so much for everything guys!

Hosting and getting to know benedetta was great, she was really helpful and nice the whole time she was here, she is a sweet girl with a good energy and always willing to help, not afraid to walk a lot or carry things, and very independent, clean and funny too. ( she tought me some valuable italian words i could use for defense LoL ) . Always Welcome back ! <3

We were very happy to have them around. They are really lovely girls, super friendly and very responsible, regarding work but also house rules. What a pity that they could not stay longer!

I stayed on the farm for about 2 months last year and it was a lovely experience! Alex and Rico are lovely and caring people, who are really easy to talk to and made me feel like family after a week of staying with them. <3 I enjoyed staying outside the whole time, helping with maintenance tasks, harvesting olives, planting trees and caring for the lovely animals. I grew especially close with the cats, whom I miss dearly to this day (shedding a tear as I write this :,)) In the last weeks of my stay, Alex was so kind to let me be creative and paint some things around the farm, which meant a lot to me. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity of staying on the farm with the kindest hosts and a very peaceful environment. I'll definitely be back if I have the chance to! Lots of Love <3
