Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

This was my first Workaway experience and I truly loved it. Sara and I clicked straight away from the start and one of the things I appreciate mostly about her is the way she communicates: clearly, kindly, honestly and with respect. At home she helped me keeping the house tidy and supported me with the kids, beconing part of our daily family routine with such ease. She is very open, approachable, and flexible, and integrated into our family in a very natural way. Whenever there were needs or adjustments on either side, we were always able to talk things through and find a solution that worked for both of us. If she was ever unsure about something, she always asked — and she always took responsibility. She is a very intelligent, adaptable, and empathetic person who is genuinely willing to learn and grow. Open-minded and polite, she brought a calm and positive energy into our home. We truly made the most of this experience and built real trust along the way. I’m so happy she chose to share this journey with us, and I’m deeply grateful for all the support she gave me and my family so far. I am sure that we have both learned a lot from this experience and from each other. The bond we were able to create has truly added value to my family, and I sincerely hope we will stay in touch. I wish Sara all the best here in the Netherlands after she will leave our home and I would wholeheartedly recommend hosting her to anyone who is looking for a brilliant and very resourceful person!

Ruth Maria is a strong wise woman! She strikes me as a person not afraid of hard work and had really interesting stories to tell. She was full of enthusiasm and got stuck in whenever she was needed and did a great job! Ruth is a cool lady you would be wise to host her and get to meet her. I hope to see her again some day. :)

Amelia was a pleasure to host. She is a smart and conscientious young lady , full of positive energy and unusually astute for her age so I was delighted with her company and conversation as well. On top of that she is also very creative and diligent and seems to make the best of her time and energy. You can be lucky to host her.

Aurora is a wonderful human. She has a lot of love and goodness in her heart and it lifts up everyone around her. Aurora was a pleasure to host. The boat she stayed on never looked better! Aurora somehow managed to keep the place looking spectacular with wild pirates stampeding around the place. She also did any task asked of her well and with a big smile! She is a wonderful bean. And i look forward to seeing her come back. Ciao Bella x

Konstantinos is a wonderful human. He has serious mother hen energy. He cares deeply for others and puts his heart into his work. He is effective, kind, and tidy! I hope to see you again soon brother :)

David is wery calm and reliable guy. Despite a lack of knowledge in some specific tasks he was ready to help and find solutions, so, during five days he repaired couple doors, ski, water tank and some other things. In one day he formed all my wine trees! We also had interesting conversations about different themes. I'm warmly sugest David to other hosts, especially if they want improve English or are interested in fish farming.

Muchas gracias Guapa por tu feedback sobre Paraíso Tzunum y tu estancia acá, me encantó como disfrutaste la selva y como respetaste el lugar💚. Por los detalles, acuérdate que hicimos una vídeo llamada y explico todo de los baños secos, de los bichos y del apoyo que necesito acá 😉. Y si para vivir en la selva sola hay que ser fuerte y despierta💪🏾🤗🌿🐒🌿. Muchas gracias por tu connexion a esta belleza🌎💚🌎

We had a wonderful experience hosting Cecile in our home. She was amazing with our daughter and created very fun and creative activities for her. They spent beautiful time together, and we could see how happy our child was every day. She also helped improve our daughter’s English in a very natural and playful way, which we really appreciated. Cecile was kind, patient, and responsible. She adapted easily to our home and became part of our family in a short time. She was also very helpful with household tasks and always asked how she could support us. Her positive energy made a big difference in our daily life. We truly enjoyed hosting her and we are very grateful for the time we shared. We highly recommend her to any future host. She will bring warmth, creativity, and good energy wherever she goes.

I had such a great time staying at Kristina's place ! Her four dogs are absolutely ADORABLES and so is their owner :) It's funny and beautiful to hike with the dogs around the lake, Kristina's property is beautiful and peaceful and the shared moments we had were interesting and funny ! So if you LOVE animals and sharing with people, go there, you'll be more than happy !! :)

3 wonderful weeks in the middle of the jungle. It has an amazing breakfast, nice amenities and nice staff. would recommend if you wanna enjoy some relaxed time in the nature!!

If you have the opportunity to stay at Sam and Herons sanctuary you'd be a fool to pass it up! Sam and Heron, along with the 3 excellent meals served per day made me feel right at home. They, along with their friends and family went out of their way to make me comfortable, make sure I was fed and having a good time. After the morning work duties you will have plenty of free time in which I loved exploring Mendocino or just having a lazy afternoon around their property. Although If you are interested in working for some cash Sam also helped me to find work and safe to say it is easy to stay busy In Mendo. I look forward to returning to this sublime place, Thank you my friends!

Geraldine is the coolest host!!! Unfortunately, I could only spend two weeks with her, but my time here was exceptional! She is a lovely woman with many life lessons and experiencies to share. When you are talking to her, time just flies by. She is that incredible!! The dogs, Luna and Guinness are the sweetest (although they will certainly give you a run for your money haha) and walking in the woods with them is super fun! The location is incredible, you have amazing mountain views with lovely hikes near by, and only 30 minutes away from Chamonix. The work is light and fair; household tasks and walking the dogs! If you want to enjoy the french alps and spend some time with a lovely lady, this is the workaway experience for you! A big thank you to Geraldine, Luna and Guinness. I hope to see you all soon! :)

Georgina and Harry are incredibly welcoming hosts. Their children, Ruaridh (5), Lachie (4), and Jeanie (11 months), are adorable. I had so much fun playing with Ruaridh and Lachie and going for walks with Jeanie. I became very attached to them and I miss them. I had interesting conversations with Georgina and Harry, who went out of their way to make me feel so welcome. I learned a lot about Scottish identity and way of life. They were eager to show me the most beautiful places in the region: a cruise on Loch Ness and a visit to Urquhart Castle, the Black Isle, and Nairn. Georgina also took me to a pub in Inverness with live traditional music. The Highlands region is magnificent, and their house is located right next to a beautiful forest. I would like to thank the whole family for their warm welcome. It was a real pleasure to share these three weeks with them. Georgina, Harry, Ruaridh, Lachie, and Jeanie, I hope you'll come to visit me in France. You're a wonderful family!

Oonagh is a lovely person, welcoming and cultured. She knows all the paths in the region, all the places to visit. As I enjoy running, she showed me some routes I could run on. I discovered the Gort River loop, Coole Park, Thoor Ballylee Yeats Tower, Kilmacduagh Abbey Church, and the Kiltartan Gregory Museum. She gave me interesting information about the region and the Irish way of life. Our conversations were excellent and allowed me to learn more about Irish identity. They also helped me improve my English. I had the pleasure of meeting her sister Bernadette, her friend Mary, and Tania, a Ukrainian refugee. They were all very welcoming. Gort is a pretty, well-connected little town. It's easy to take the bus or train to Galway, Limerick, or Ennis and explore the surrounding area. I would like to thank Oonagh for her hospitality. It was my first Workaway and I stayed for three weeks. It was a nice experience that I recommend to everyone.

¡Una experiencia mágica en familia con Cédric y Ariane! 🌿 Mi estancia con Cédric y Ariane en su hermoso lugar fue increíble. Conectas perfectamente con la naturaleza y te sientes en casa desde el primer día. Trabajo y rutina Hice de todo: jardín, limpieza de casas... Cédric explica todo claro y con expectativas precisas. ¡Y cada mañana, Ariane nos deleita con desayunos ricisimos: mermeladas caseras o cremas de verduras o hummus y jugos frescos! Familia y vibe Compartimos charlas profundas, el tiempo vuela. Sus hijas son puro energía (como mamá) y jugamos casi cada día. Cédric y Ariane cuidan su proyecto con pasión y siempre agradecen con palabras o frutas del jardín. ¡Gentiles y generosos! Igual son viajeros y entienden perfectamente que necesita un/a mochilero/a. Extras y relax Además del trabajo, trekking, sesiones de cariño con los peros y tardes chill en la terraza. Perfecto balance. Casa de voluntarios y entorno Súper limpia, con todo para cocinar/relajarte. Se camina muy rápido a Tiquipaya, para hacer compras. Y si tienes alguna duda, puedes preguntar a los dos siempre! Recomiendo 100% No solo para workaway, ¡quédate más! Llevo su alma hermosa en el corazón. ¡Muchísimas Gracias por todo! 💚

A peine apparu, déjà disparu ! le soir après le premier repas il a quitté la chambre en me prévenant par SMS qu'il reviendrait le lendemain. Il a fallu que j'insiste avec plusieurs messages et pendant plusieurs jours pour avoir une réponse qu'il ne reviendrait pas. Il ne semblait pourtant pas en difficulté ou en panne avec son téléphone portable. Il doit avoir ses raisons.

Un grand merci a Ana et Laura! elles se sont occupées de nourrir les chevaux avec beaucoup de rigueur et les chevaux les ont bien acceptées! c'est important quand on travaille avec différents troupeaux de 4 à 6 chevaux. un grand merci pour le travail très dur de démonter plus de 700 m de parc électrique sous le soleil! toujours partantes, heureuses de découvrir, d'apprendre, d'échanger. beaucoup de tâches fatigantes, nettoyer les pâturages, couper de l'herbe, déplacer les piquets, nettoyer une zone envahie de mauvaises herbes.... elles m'ont beaucoup aider dans les travaux de force. et le plus, toujours souriantes et de bonne humeur!

It is such a special place. The work is varied and robust — I replanted vegetable beds, prepared rooms for artists, and even painted ceilings. Deej is a generous host, going out of her way to make sure volunteers have what they need. I appreciated her invitations to events — I’ll never forget the murmuration! So many beautiful snapshots of my time here have stayed with me. Thank you, Deej and Joanna. Thank you. Thank you, Ireland! Hope to see you again.

I forgot to write a review sooner, but I did a work exchange with Marie for about a month last year in September. I love this jungle so much, I had been there before at a different location and enjoyed being even deeper in the jungle where I could watch amazing birds and wake up to monkeys surrounding my cabin each morning. Watching the bats come out at night and swimming in the cave cenote were some of my favorite activities. I was there during rainy season and the mosquitoes were INTENSE, and Marie said sometimes they are worse! So that is something to prepare for. Also, the facility uses dry toilets that are basically just buckets with seats over them that you must clean out yourself every few days. For me this was no problem but it is something to be prepared for if you're not used to this kind of thing. The work was sometimes a little tiring in the heat but mostly not hard and it was interesting and useful to learn some of what goes into maintaining a home in the jungle. And Kashi was so beautiful, as well as the neighbor's puppies! Marie has lived a very interesting life and is a pretty amazing person! She has a very blunt way of communicating the particular way she wants things, which can feel a little harsh. I had a good experience learning to work through communication issues, which is something I struggle with in my life in general so I am grateful to have had that opportunity. I think some of the other volunteers got a little more stressed about it. I told them that the jungle is a shaman and whatever is presented to you there is an opportunity for growth, but if you are not feeling ready for that, then the jungle might kick you out! Flow with the Magick of the jungle and you will have an amazing experience 💜👽💜
