Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Ruby, was my first oficial volunteer in workaway and it couldn't have been better, she is an excellent person in any sense...Ruby is the perfect workawayer and any time welcome in our place.

We had a wonderful time with Victor. Surrounded by nature, far away from the tourist hustle and bustle, we were able to put our craftsmanship skills to the test and try our hand at new things. Whenever we needed help, Victor was always there to assist us. We will miss the many interesting conversations, the comfortable atmosphere and, above all, the wonderful breakfast. Thank you so much for everything!!! :))))

Three months of staying and working with you Stephanie has built unforgettable icon in our life. I, the kids, teachers and people in the community feel meeting a right person in right days. My wife Jefa miss you for dinner 🥺 Your vibe, your kindness and open heart is calling in our hearts. The MACARENA dance is giving us European vibe 😂🤣 We really miss you Stephanie, you made the three months look like two weeks. You changed our school looking new and beautiful, the new classroom you founded the construction will build your image in our hearts ever 🙏 We planted Swahili language in you by which we hope you will not forget the moments with us. You are a real teacher, the spirit lives in you. We wish you all the greatness in your life. Thank you for meeting us 🫂

We loved our week with Rosie in this beautiful , peaceful location. Rosie was very welcoming and helpful and never asked us to do anything we were uncomfortable with. We helped with weeding in the vegetable garden removing pine saplings from the forest which had sprouted following last years fires. We enjoyed it so much we are planning another workaway during our travels.

Thank you from my heart for your beautiful words and for the time we shared together. It was truly a pleasure to welcome you and your home on wheels in our small Bedouin neighborhood. Your presence was kind, respectful, and full of positive energy. I am happy that you could experience the desert not only as visitors, but as part of the daily life — sharing tea, simple moments, work, and the quiet nights under the desert sky. Witnessing the birth of the lamb together was also a special moment that we will always remember. I also deeply appreciate your help and support, and your genuine interest in our culture and way of life. You were not just guests, but friends, and my door and the desert will always be open for you. I wish you safe travels and many beautiful adventures ahead. You will always have a place here in Wadi Rum. Warm greetings from the desert, Ahmad

Ella and Niamh we're excellent workaways I would recommend them highly to anybody looking for some good responsible people. They took great care of my dogs and parrot and I was very happy with the communication and photos that they sent me while I was gone. They were excellent guests and great company to have around.

It was truly a pleasure hosting Pamela. She stayed with us for a few months, and her contribution was invaluable. She easily adapts to carrying out different tasks in the best possible way. She is quick and well-organized in everything she does, and she always brings great enthusiasm. She is a very honest and selfless person, always ready to lend a helping hand. We shared many wonderful moments, and she will always be welcome here with us.

I had the most wonderful first ever Workaway experience in Dunedin with the O'Callaghan family. They were so kind and welcoming to me and I loved my week being a part of their family and enjoying all the fun hanging out with them. Communication was easy from the beginning and Nina was great in setting easy tasks to be done each day mainly lighthouse work and gardening and cleaning up after meals. I really enjoyed all my time with the adorable children, Paddy , Scarlett and Joe and we had great fun doing puzzles ,playing card games ,reading bedtime stories as they educated me about the songs and dance moves that seven-year-olds are now into, it was all so much fun. Bede was so kind with lifts to the city and I even got to go to a professional rugby match which was a real thrill. Dunedin is a great base and there's lots to do and see. I particularly enjoyed Tunnel Beach, Saint Claire's beach and pool, The Taieri gorge railway trip, The settlers museum, Larnach Castle and downtown Dunedin. I used the buses with great ease and really enjoyed going on the train journey through the Taieri Gorge. The caravan was very comfortable to sleep in . I highly recommend staying with this lovely family and will treasure my memories of a great week with them in Dunedin. Thanks to all 5 of you for making it such a wonderful experience.🥰

The workaway experience with Salome was really good, so I highly recommend this french girl because she is a very resourceful and determined girl, capable of getting busy and learning quickly! I got a very positive opinion of Salome, because she helped me a lot to arrange the branches in the garden, after pruning, and also to keep the garden and the access path clean, in short I highly recommend the good Salome for anyone who is looking for a workawayer able to help in outdoor tasks as well as at home, in a cheerful and spontaneous way! This workaway collaboration experience with Salome was simply perfect and amazing, because she really is an incredible and willing person. Starting from the very beginning, she was punctual and respectful of the house from the very beginning, and above all we had a great dialogue from the very beginning, also with many passions in common including music, good food (especially my pasta dishes, but also our nice breakfasts) and of course nature, which Salome enjoyed very much both in my plot and from my terrace, which filled me with joy. But besides having a lot of fun together, we also worked quite hard, and Salome was very good, because even though she's a young girl she's really very determined and diligent in her work, and never complains. She helped me clear the whole access path to the house: she helped me a lot and she was really good and always worked really hard, and then she also quickly has removed all the weeds from the path to the house. In addition to this, she helped me in a totally eco-friendly way. Lastly, she was very supportive all the time. In short, an irreplaceable help and a tireless companion throughout her stay! The highlight was being able to enjoy the sunset every day together, when around six o'clock we stopped working in the garden and could enjoy the colours of nature and the beautiful view of the sea from my terrace among the olive trees. She was also very good at washing the dishes almost every day, even though I never asked her to, and it was very nice to enjoy so many delicious dinners together, always listening to lots of music that we put on! We enjoyed making appetisers, and because we worked a lot, we always arrived hungry at dinner and could enjoy this exquisite time, eating typical Italian dinners, especially. To sum up, it was an exclusively positive experience, both as a workawayer but also as a new friendship. In fact, we got on very well, which I was very pleased, so we also had the chance to enjoy our friendship in the beauty of this region, in this beautiful area that is the Tuscan Maremma. And last but not least, she kept me amazing company, and it was really wonderful to be able to share time as friends with Salome, who is a pleasant person with whom I never tire of talking and with whom you can share many special experiences. It's really a pleasure for me to be able to introduce this beautiful area to workawayers from various parts of Europe and the world, and with Salome in particular I was always really at ease, both as a workaway collaboration and as a sincere friendship! Above all expectations, truly a positive experience. So I highly recommend Salome as a workawayer, to anyone who might be interested in her collaboration, because she really is a great girl and a tireless and sensitive worker, with an endless love for nature and animals. A great help to me, and a wonderful person, who loves nature with all her heart! So esteemed Salome, I hope you will come back soon to visit and help me here on the farm, so you can see how the work is progressing here, especially in the soil. Thank you again for everything and I look forward to seeing you soon! With great esteem and many fond memories :) "Turtlina vibes!" I-renzo

This experience was truly extraordinary. If you’re passionate about the ocean and wildlife, this is absolutely for you. Having the opportunity to visit Coiba so many times and learn from such experienced guides made me feel incredibly lucky. Every trip was a chance to deepen my knowledge and appreciation for marine life. On top of that, I was welcomed into an amazing team made up of both local and international people. It’s also a great opportunity to practice your Spanish, as many of the local guides don’t speak English. Santa Catalina itself is a beautiful place, especially if you love small communities and laid-back surf towns. After just a few days, you start recognizing people, greeting each other on the street, and feeling part of the community. Everyone is genuinely friendly and open. It’s important to mention that this experience isn’t only about joining the excursions. You’ll also help in the office with administrative tasks and keeping things tidy and organized. This is not for someone who just wants to enjoy boat trips; it’s for proactive people who truly want to contribute and be part of a team. That means helping with dishes, cleaning up, staying flexible, and supporting wherever needed. If you’re passionate about the ocean and willing to give as much as you receive, this experience will be incredibly rewarding. I already dream of coming back one day...

This was my first Workaway, and I‘m so thankful for the opportunity, even though it was on such short notice🫶 Once a week Amanda and I would clean the house, then two days a week I’d look after Tristan and cook the meals. Tristan always liked to help, whether it was with baking dessert or showing me around the idyllic village of Varen. Wednesdays and Sundays were my days off, which I’d spend hiking the different trails, painting the stunning view from the house, or getting to know Amanda’s lovely family next door. Amanda is very patient, she and Peter immediately make you feel welcome and comfortable; always ready to advise and have an interesting conversation with. The kids are all so full of energy and personality, it was always fun to be around them. It was an amazing experience getting to know this beautiful family and explore Varen. Thank you so much Amanda and Peter for letting me stay, hopefully we’ll see each other again🤍

It was my first workaway and it was fantastic. I immediately felt at home. I stayed in Cartagena for two and a half weeks. Leticia and the children treated me like a member of the family. We talked and laughed a lot together. Since I only looked after the children when they came home from school, I had a lot of free time. This meant I could go to the Spanish Language School in the mornings and attend an intensive course for two weeks. Then I explored Cartagena and after that I spent time with the children. They are very lively, but also affectionate and loveable. It was sweet, when Victor came into my room one evening before going to bed, said „good night“ and gave me a hug. Alba often tried to teach me clapping games. I really had a wonderful time with Leticia, who often made me laugh. Every evening we all sat together in the kitchen and enjoyed our evening meal. Victor and Alba were very patient with me when I made mistakes in Spanish. They would correct me or help me with my pronunciation. I grew very fond of both children and I miss them. I hope that I will find time to visit them again someday.

Muchas gracias Léa por hacer su voluntariado en el sistema agroforestal Finca Villa Ana de Ibagué Colombia. Léa se integró plenamente a las actividades de cultivo de cacao y su trasformación en chocolate artesanal, también en las actividades familiares y el intercambio de actividades y saberes culturales como la música, los idiomas y la gastronomía. ¡La esperaremos aquí siempre con Paul, y mucha alegría!

I spent two weeks here in February 2026. It has been a beautiful experience! The view from there is stunning. If you are planning to go, please consider exploring the surrounding areas. The (unusual) almost constant rain dissuaded us from visiting towns and places close by, but we managed to walk through the old village of Pompana. Federico is a great host, always nice and available, and he adapted the work to my skills and passions. Since I love gardening, we spent quite some time outside pruning trees, making firewood, and managing the flower beds around the house. Federico started giving me more independence as soon as he got comfortable with my skills, and we even discussed possible future developments of the house together. We worked daily, usually during the mornings, but adapted the schedule to the different tasks. The food was fantastic! He cooked delicious dishes for us, from homemade focaccia to a variety of soups and pasta. The time we spent together was full of mutual respect. On my side, other than the daily working hours, I contributed by cleaning both the kitchen and the rooms available to me. Overall, it has been the best place I could've hoped for my first WorkAway experience. Now I can't wait to go back and see the results of our work. See you soon, Fede!

We had the pleasure of hosting Luna at our home during the month of May, it was a positive experience. She is a kind and polite young woman, and it was easy having her around. She maintained a calm presence, which brought a gentle energy to our home, something our son really responded to in a soothing way. She was consistent with her responsibilities and always fulfilled the hours we agreed on. We appreciated her reliability and the sense of ease she brought to daily routines. She was really calm and amazing with Theodor and til this day he still remembers her and she was calm and respectful towards him always. She also contributed in the kitchen, she really enjoyed cooking and introduced us to new, creative vegan meals that we loved, always with a helpful and respectful attitude. This was our first time hosting through Workaway, and having her here during such a transitional month really helped us get through a busy and demanding time. We’re grateful for the experience, and we would recommend her to future hosts looking for someone grounded, respectful, and open-hearted. Thank you again for your support and for sharing a part of your journey with us! You are the best and miss you 🤍🧡

Thabata es una persona encantadora :) Es ordenada, limpia, atenta, puntual, independiente, honesta y muy resolutiva. Convivir y trabajar con ella ha sido un gusto, y estamos realmente agradecidos por toda la ayuda que nos ha dado. Aquí siempre tendrá las puertas abiertas. Durante su estancia hizo de todo un poco: carpintería, trabajos con cemento y limpieza y orden del almacén. Maneja herramientas eléctricas como el atornillador eléctrico y la sierra circular con soltura y seguridad. Además, entiende y sigue las instrucciones perfectamente , incluso cuando se trata de tareas nuevas para ella, y las saca adelante sin problema. Nuestro trabajo a veces es duro físicamente, pero ella tiene fuerza y actitud, y fue un apoyo enorme. La recomendamos totalmente y sin ninguna duda. Si te escribe, puedes contar con ella con total tranquilidad!!

Mat! y Rebecca increíbles ambos como voluntarios!! tienen una templanza increíble! siempre disponibles para ayudar en todo! con muy buenas ideas y geniales a la hora de cambiar de planes, muy flexibles, amorosos y excelentes en todo tipo de tareas! una increíble experiencia y de los mejores Workayer que he tenido!... Serán siempre parte de la familia!

Violaine has lots of energy and loves tunnelling it into helping others. We had a positive experience with Violaine and know that whoever has the opportunity to host her will have the same. Violaine is polite, respectful, positive, energetic and honest. She will help with whatever task is at hand, making it a fun experience. I didn’t have the opportunity to play cards with her, but the crew did, and I know she is a card shark! She loved the team environment. Equally she was happy to be alone. An excellent French teacher! Best I’ve encountered, wish I’d had an exchange experience with Violaine when I was a teenager.
