Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

Thank you, dear! I loved it there. Stood by my side always. My lovely host went above and beyond. I got varied opportunities to get busy and a very cozy space to spend my time indoors with all the wonderful others. I urge any of you considering to take the host on their offer to not be worried about not being able to contribute. There is a part for everyone to play. Ultimately, I’m glad to have been in a quaint French mountain village among selfless and loving others.

Hosting Emma was a truly wonderful experience for our family! We spent nearly three weeks together, and she became a part of our home. She was very clean, tidy, and respectful of our house rules. ​She got along perfectly with our children; they had so much fun together. Even though our English is at a beginner level, communication was never an issue. Emma is so expressive and uses her body language so well that the language barrier simply disappeared. We also loved learning so many interesting things about New Zealand from her! ​What touched us most was her respect and adaptability during the month of Ramadan. She fit into our daily routine so naturally. We are so happy to have met her and would highly recommend her to any host family. Thank you for everything, Emma!

Freya es una persona alegre y responsable que en estas dos semanas dejo lo mejor en nuestro proyecto , siempre con una sonrisa y la mejor energia!!! Gracias por todo querida Freya !! esperamos volver a verte

Well I can't thank Tom and Sabine for being an absolute god send for us all on our first ever workaway. Being a single mum with two boys 14 and 10, we didn't know how this could work and neither did Tom but he worked with us, firstly helping us settle in and completely emerse ourselves in this stunning part of Portugal and then gave us jobs we could achieve, to build confidence for the boys as a incentive Tom let the boys fly he's drone, which they thought was amazing. They have taken us to the local Pizza club, which has also introduced us to other locals. We have been here for two and half weeks already, which has been amazing and given us all the opportunity to find out rhythm and get into a routine, which can help us move forward on our travelling journey. Thank you Tom and Sabine

Non avevo mai ricevuto due sorelle ed è qualcosa di strepitoso. Infatti adesso vorrei che tutti i Workaway che vengono a trovarmi abbiano un fratello o sorella, o almeno Un cugino ahahaha. Sono stato molto bene con le due ragazze. Sono due sorelle davvero disponibili In qualsiasi lavoro e imparano anche in fretta. Abbiamo lavorato sia fuori che dentro e la loro energia è molto bella, allegra es energetica. Sempre sorridenti, hanno migliorato il tempo e lo spazio. Infatti quando vorranno potranno tornare. Grazie per aver scelto di venire da me, a presto. I've never had two sisters before, and it's amazing. In fact, now I wish all the Workaways who come to visit me had a brother or sister, or at least a cousin, hahaha. I had a great time with the two girls. They're two sisters who are truly available to any job and are also quick learners. We've worked both inside and outside, and their energy is wonderful, cheerful and energetic. Always smiling, they've made the time and space better. In fact, they can come back whenever they want. Thank you for choosing to come to me, see you soon.

I stayed here an entire month and had a great time doing projects. The owner Aaron is awesome and extremely knowledgeable in many different things and an all around cool California dude. The island is remote and truly a beautiful place.

my time at this place was a peaceful reset that I definitely needed. the space is beautiful and tranquil (with the exception of barking dogs but that's expected in the Colombian countryside). the living area is comfortable and the food delicious and filling. flexibility is definitely needed in terms of accommodations with the retreats, be prepared to change sleeping arrangements as necessary. the work I did was mainly landscaping and deep cleaning of the retreat spaces as well as serving food during the retreats. work hours are very respected! you must enjoy and do well with structure and schedules for this Workaway. the one thing I wish was more clear from the profile is that food is not provided on the weekend and there is no kitchen access at all for volunteers (no stove/oven, no guaranteed fridge space). Natalia (& her lovely parents) and Eyal are super kind and it was a pleasure to join them for this project!

Steven was such a lovely person to have with us at the hostel. From the very beginning, his charisma and warm presence made a difference—guests felt comfortable around him right away, and he naturally connected with everyone, from travelers to the rest of the team. He’s organized, reliable, and easy to work with, but what really stood out was how kind and respectful he is in everyday interactions. He brought a really nice, positive energy to the space and quickly became part of the little community we had. Honestly, having him around felt more like having a friend than just a volunteer. We’d happily have him back anytime and can definitely recommend him.

Anja stayed with us for 3 weeks, it was a lovely exchange. i found her to be a quirky, intelligent, caring person. She made good bonds with everyone she met here. Anja done varies jobs like looking after my dogs and cats, setting up accounts to sell clothing online for me, cleaning, organising my garage, shes not scared to get her hands dirty, she helped me with manual labour jobs around the garden. She's also a great cook, I wish her the very best on her journey.

Dionny et Allan sont incroyables, c'est très plaisant de pouvoir échanger avec eux. Allan nous a même organisé une partie de futbol avec les locaux. L'horaire est très flexible et m'a permis de faire plusieurs hike. Allan offre de très bon conseil pour les randonnées!

The time we spent with Nowelle was a treasure and and a joy. She is a fantastic person and a very good chef and baker. We miss her every day and welcome her back any day.

Michal has been a blessing for us. He took over a lot of responsibility and was up for every task. He helped with every type of work and was always up for social moments within the group. Even the, by him initiated nighwalks became and established thing in the group :) Super grateful for his help and his support - we hope to have him back in the future.

Sonny arrived at our place by Motorbike, all the way from Norway which was super impressive. He was a great help. Super hard working, very friendly, and bonded really well with the group. We were happy for his support.

I am very thankful for this experience! Tom ist a kind, friendly host, the work on the farm is easy and makes absolutely happy in this stunning landscape. Wilma the dog is funny and lovely, too - as same the chickens. The food is soooo nice and fresh and the apartment in the house, where I lived in, is modern and beautiful. The olives are magic as well as the nature there. The village is only 5 min walk away - so I recommend Tom absolutely!

Luis is a special character in the best way possible. He helped us a lot and he has been a great addition to the group with all his stories from his travels, the languages that he speaks and the adventures he has experiences. Extremely kind and warm hearted person. We were lucky to have had him at our space.

Vilgot is a super nice guy. He was really helpful and hard working.

I joined the program at the request of the host. They needed English speakers near Berlin and the travel dates fit my schedule perfectly! I was able to take a bus from Berlin to Poznan. The program was excellent. I would definitely do it again if offered the opportunity. I did only give 4 stars for communication because we had a miscommunication. I didn't know I would be responsible for paying for my hotel room the first night in Poznan after the welcome meal. This was as much my own fault but the host helped take care of the situation. After the first night, everything was perfect. I loved the students and was amazed at the progress they made. I started off trying a bit too hard to just communicate, but I learned by the second day that the students love even the smallest correction. I highly recommend this as a way to see more of the Polish countryside. And will look for similar programs in other locales.

Niklas was an absolute pleasure to host, and we feel truly grateful that he chose to stay with us. From the very beginning, he was kind, respectful, and easy to be around, quickly becoming a natural part of our daily life. He brought great energy and a positive attitude, and his help (especially with photography) was exceptional. The quality of his work honestly exceeded my expectations and added so much value to what we do. He was always willing to contribute, attentive to details, and genuinely cared about making a difference. Beyond his skills, Niklas is simply a wonderful person to have around, thoughtful, friendly, and open-minded. My family and I shared such beautiful moments with him, and those memories will stay with us for a long time. I also truly appreciate the trust he showed in me by booking his Kilimanjaro climb and safari through my company. That support meant a lot to me, both personally and professionally. I can wholeheartedly recommend Niklas to any host. He will not only contribute with his skills but also leave a positive and lasting impression wherever he goes. We will always welcome him back with open arms and hope our paths cross again someday

We spent about 40 days at Grazia and Antonio's house, and it was one of the best experiences we've ever had! We truly formed a family bond; sharing time and conversations with them was the best part. They opened their home to us, we tried new local dishes, shared experiences, and became part of their routine with their animals and daily life. We had a room with a private bathroom, and we were in charge of feeding the animals and often cooking (especially vegetables we had never eaten before!!! hahaha Grazia always bought us meat because she knows we love it). We also tidied up and cleaned parts of their house. We took away the best memories and hope to return soon! They are all part of our story. We adore them!

Gracias amigo por entender la nueva forma de vivir y por toda la ayuda que me brindaste la vida sigue y encontrarás personas que piensan igual que tú feliz viaje amigo gracias por todo nos vemos en la montaña suya
