Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

Lorenza and Paulo were amazing hosts! We highly recommend staying with them and their amazing kids! Couldn't have asked for a better first workaway experience!!

Dina was an amazing volunteer! She did an amazing job with the system and tasks in general. She also has an amazing customer service.

I loved my stay in the hostel so much that I ended up staying 2 months instead of one and I feel like Antigua became another home for me. Everyone starting from the manager Pablo, to my colleagues and kitchen staff and the owners as well were very welcoming and ready to help at any point. Thank you!!

Lucie and her family were truly lovely, I stayed with them for about a month and it was my first experience as a volunteer, I was so nervous, but she radiates so much charisma and such a beautiful energy that makes you feel at home. Near her home you can find the red metro line at "Roztyly", right there there is a forest you can walk through, several bus options, there is a Tesco Express supermarket, and it is a lovely neighborhood where you can go for a walk. We worked in her home, where we traveled through time into the memories of her and her family, we organized things that belonged to past generations of her family and with so much respect she told me about each object that caught my attention, and we also worked in her garden, turning the soil, transplanting horticultural plants, painting, etc. The quality time was also very nice, we went for a walk in the forest, had long conversations after dinner, enjoyed the sun in the garden, hugged Šumik (the white-furred member of the family), played board games, and even went to see one of Lucie’s choir performances. Without a doubt it was a great and beautiful first experience, I am very grateful to them and I invite future volunteers to join this adventure with Lucie and her family. And I really enjoyed speaking Spanish while being far from home. Thank you! With love, Jo 🌱💚🌱

We enjoyed having Olga and Murat stay with us for 6 weeks. They are very dedicated and focused on their purpose for being with us, which is to help out. They follow instructions well and work diligently till the job is done. Murat doesn’t speak much English but he was practicing every day and I noticed an improvement by the time they left. Olga was always there to translate if necessary to ensure our requests were clear. They are respectful, clean and tidy guests. They are both kind and interesting and easy to have around. We wish them well in their travels.

Thaïs and Benjamin stayed with us in February 2026. Thaïs taught one-on-one French lessons to both children and adults, while Benjamin worked on updating our website. They both did a great job, and it was a pleasure having them with us. We would happily recommend them for similar projects!

María Fernanda was so helpful! She helped me make cob to fill the spaces between the walls and window and door frames. She also helped me make round screens for my circular windows. I had to go the States to visit family and she took care of my home and all the animals! She is hardworking and completely trustworthy! She also became a great friend! I’m so grateful we met! Thank you Mafer! ♥️🕉🌿

Rasa and Riya volunteered with us for four weeks in February at our Hospital at your Door community service which provides primary care to 32 villages a week in a rural part of Gujarat. They are both professional medical doctors and very committed in helping rural villages in India. They both observed and exchanged medical knowledge and experiences with our local medical team. This is something our local staff found very helpful. They also help the children in the school with learning and practices English language skill, did a presentation about skin care to the hostel boys which is something very useful for the students who live in the campus. Riya and Rasa actively and very enthusiastically took part in all the festivals and cultural events throughout their entire stay which included mass wedding ceremony, puja. Aarti, celebrations. They made friendship with other co-volunteers staying in the campus and visited Tarapur, Paiej Birds sanctuary, Anand and enjoyed swimming in Praful’s farm. We hope they will come again to see the progress of the hostel boys as well as the medical team. The school and the medical team will miss them and look forward to seeing them again in the future. Thank you both

Venice is very easy going, adaptable, good company. I was very happy to receive him and wish him well.

My experience with Miguel's family was pretty good ! We worked in the mornings and had the afternoons free to do our own thing or help out more if we wanted. I was surprised to see that sometimes we worked less than we thought (as the day in Ingapirca and the day we went to the cacaos plantations, we didn't work really). The meals were delicious and there was plenty of food! Sometime hard to not eat to much. In general, I helped with harvest of potato's and enjoyed cultural time with the carnaval. They integrated me into their traditional customs and I was able to participate fully in the carnival, from the opening ceremony to the family dinners, all while wearing traditional clothing. Miguel was very helpful when I lost my phone. He gladly helped me find it and go to the store to buy a replacement. I didn't feel too foreigner with this family; we only had a little difficulty with the language sometimes with the parents, but nothing major. Thank you, Miguel, for the experience.

Llegué sin saber cuánto tiempo me quedaría, y al final me quedé un mes. Mi estancia fue increíble. Desde el primer día me abrieron las puertas de su casa y de su familia; me trataron como una más. El trato hacia mí fue de diez, me han tratado muy bien desde el principio. La compañía ha sido increíble. Me han enseñado nuevas recetas que me llevo a casa y me dieron mate para probar; me encantó tanto que también me lo llevo conmigo. Me llevo muchas cosas buenas de esta estancia y de vuestra cultura. El entorno es muy bonito y tranquilo. Me dejaron una bicicleta para poder moverme, y en mis días libres me llevaban a conocer el pueblo; salíamos en familia a comer... Para mí han sido como una familia durante esta estancia. Muchas gracias, Bárbara, por recibirme tan bien desde el principio y por ayudarme a conocer a Martina, Magnolia, Mateo y Emma, y por supuesto a los perros Octavio y Chloe. Muchas gracias por todo. ¡Hasta pronto!

Andre is an amazing person to have on the team. He works hard and takes responsibility for every task given to him, always making sure things are done properly. He has a great attitude, is very friendly, and easily makes others feel comfortable around him. He’s also always willing to help, which creates a really positive atmosphere. We truly appreciated having him here and would highly recommend him to any future opportunity.

What a nice meeting ! We were very happy and we woul'd say very lucky to have Margaret and Kenneth with us during those 3 weeks ! They are not only interesting, friendly and funny, but also very efficient and highly skilled. And more, they are incredibly hard workers ! They would have worked all day if we hadn't told them to stop ! We could say we consider them now as new friends and we hope to see them again.

We were very happy with Antonin and Lydia. They helped us out with many jobs and were always friendly and helpfull. We had a great time together. I would especially recommend them for jobs related to social media. They are excellent.

Hannah was a great volunteer. Very helpfull and friendly and not afraid to accept any jobs at the farm. Thank you so much Hannah.

I had an absolutely incredible experience staying with Caro. From the moment I arrived, she was warm, kind, and consistently communicative, making me feel welcome and at home right away. My time with her was truly enriching in terms of cultural exchange. I learned so much about the rich artistic history and culture of Céret, and she generously shared her knowledge and passion throughout my stay. She also taught me how to cook some amazing dishes like chicken curry and nettle soup, and even introduced me to foraging for wild asparagus, which was such a unique and memorable experience. There is so much to explore in the area, and I loved visiting the local museums and soaking in all the art and inspiration. Working with Caro was equally rewarding, I enjoyed helping in her garden and assisting in her ceramic workshop, where I learned about processes like slip casting and mold making. It was fascinating and hands-on in the best way. We also spent time enjoying the simple pleasures like going on walks around town, eating fresh oysters at the local market, and visiting beautiful ceramic exhibitions together. These moments made the experience even more special. Overall, my stay with Caro was unforgettable. I’m so grateful for everything I learned and experienced, and I would highly recommend staying with her to anyone looking for a meaningful and inspiring Workaway opportunity.

Diana ha pasado unos días en casa con su perrita Dana, colaborando en todas las tareas de la granja y la casa. Sólo tengo palabras buenas para ambas. Pese a la corta estancia, se ha involucrado al cien por cien. Rápida al comprender el montón de cosas a tener en cuenta en una casa autosuficiente con una granja llena de animales. Dana es un perrita muy bien educada, limpia y alegre a la que se ve feliz compartiendo nuevas experiencias y tiempo con su ama. Diana es muy interesante, rápida aprendiendo, muy trabajadora e implicada y lo mejor: una GRAN PERSONA. Ojalá la vida vuelva a cruzar nuestros caminos.

This was my first Workaway experience, and I absolutely loved it! I stayed for one week on the beautiful land of Eline and Ashok. Another Workawayer was there at the same time, as well as Eline’s sister, and I really enjoyed spending time with them during our free time. Eline and Ashok are very friendly and open hosts, and I felt comfortable from the very beginning. They communicate clearly about the expected work, and everything is totally manageable. The area around Maro is incredibly beautiful, and there are so many things to do in your free time: stunning beaches, numerous hiking trails, yoga, visits to Nerja, relaxing on the cliffs on the property, watching breathtaking sunsets, spotting dolphins, and more. I will keep this experience very warmly in my memory 💕

It was great having Stefano here taking care of the house, tasks and especially us ♡ He's easy to work with and takes care of the surroundings before you need to ask. We loved his common sense to maintain the place clean and comfortable and his helpful manual skills. Overall he's always happy to help for anything. We loved especially your vegan cooking and we already miss you. P.S. Let us know when you join the circus and a band with your new juggling and ukulele skills.

Karina, también conocida como Luz, es un nombre que le sienta de maravilla; es un verdadero rayo de sol. Siempre sonriente y de buen humor, es un placer pasar tiempo con ella desde la mañana hasta la noche, ya que trabaja en línea por las tardes. Juntas hicimos deporte, limpiamos la casa y practicamos nuestros respectivos idiomas. Además, es una persona culta, y nuestras conversaciones fueron interesantes y entretenidas. ¡Qué alegría tener esta nueva amiga y qué suerte haberla conocido!
