Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

Misa was very nice quest, and easy to communicate and good company.

A lovely home away from home! I stayed for 1 week at Chris’s place! Which is a beautiful house with amazing views! Raewyn and Chris are amazing hosts! They quickly adapted to my Lacoste intolerance! Avocado brownies 😆 Jobs were varied, from gardening, pruning, helping around the house! Meals were homely and tasty! Thanks so much for hosting me!

日本語↓ We had such a great experience hosting Santiago and would 100% recommend him. I honestly can’t believe he’s only 21—he’s so mature, reliable, and genuinely caring about others. From the very first moment, it felt easy and natural to be around him. He’s always willing to help and puts real thought and effort into everything he does. For example, he filmed a short vlog for us and did it so well, really putting his heart into it. Any host would be lucky to have him! サンティアゴを1週間ホストしましたが、本当に素晴らしい方で、心からおすすめします。 まだ21歳とは思えないほど大人で、責任感があり、周りの人への気遣いがとてもできる方です。初対面から一緒にいてとても自然で居心地の良い存在でした。 どんなことにも前向きに取り組み、頼めばいつも快く手伝ってくれます。例えば、自己紹介のミニVlogの撮影をお願いした際も、とても丁寧に、心を込めて素敵に仕上げてくれました。 英語もとても綺麗で、カナダらしい聞き取りやすい発音です。日本語も話せます！ どのホストにとっても、きっと素晴らしいゲストになると思います！

This Workaway experience is probably the best you could ever get and Lorraine is such a beautiful person that no words could ever explain. Once you reach the location you feel like landing in paradise. The house is literally 10 minutes from the ocean, but in the most quiet place ever. it is surrounded by land, which Lorraine treats like a son. everything in that house is in total harmony. The la d is perfectly taken care of, and the animals are beautifully spoiled. The food is probably the best you could ever think of. There's not a single ingredient in that house which is not healthy and carefully selected. and then Lorraine... Lorraine is just a wonderful person. She is a great listener, a great advisor and an energetic helper. She is one of the happiest people I have ever met, and she's gonna make you feel the same. She has a strong but peaceful energy that makes any person who stands next to her feel at ease and home. The work is not though at all, but perfectly balanced. Lorraine is well driven by the principle that you have to treat others as you want to be treated, and the more you give, the more you'll get. therefore, if you show commitment and respect, you will be given the best experience ever. I totally recommend this experience to the bottom of my heart. it was my first Workaway experience, and it definitely set the bar extremely high! here you will feel this safe, calm, peaceful and ultimately loved... just like a second home !

I was hosted several days from Anne while I was travelling. Anne is a Great Host!! The castle is fabulous!!!! Anne speaks English and French as well which was a great help for me. Thank you Anne for your hospitality 🙂

I had a great time! Itai and his family are really kind and welcoming. The caravan where I slept is realy comfy as well. We worked on Itais cabin project and made good progress. I had many nice conversations and learned a lot. The homecrown vegetables and the homemade foods are incredibly tasty! I felt at home and it didn't feel like work at all. Would be happy to visit again. Thank you!

My kids and I stayed for a week with Yuvraj, Radha and Sarpanch :) Yuvraj accepted us with open arms and communication before arriving was very warm, easy and helpful! Yuvraj came to pick us up at the train station when we arrived at night :) You can tell from the first moment that Yuvraj has a kind heart, beautiful soul and creative mind! His project is so inspiring and beautifully executed. I was in awe seeing what had been done and amazed with all the beautiful ideas yet to be put into place. It really is a little paradise! Radha was so nice to us and both her and Yuvraj are amazing cooks. We ate so well during our stay. And the house and room were very confortable :) On the farm, we helped with eco construction of the pizza oven and finishing a bench. Was so much fun :) We also painted a mural on one of the structures :) We really enjoyed the tasks and working hours were very flexible. We simply felt in love with the village of Sureli! People were so kind and encounters were all magical. Also we were there during Holi and had so much fun for 2 days! The river is a very peaceful place to go at the end of the day. Loved everything there! We have put 4 stars only because we are used to sharing with our hosts on workaways. This might be our favourite thing and it was missing on this one. Despite Yuvraj impeccable kindness, we didn't share a lot with him. Thank you for everything! <3

I stayed at this hostel for 3 weeks and had an amazing experience. I worked on reception which I really enjoyed because it helped me meet new people, learnt something new and brought some routine into travel life. Lucky is a great host who really looks after both volunteers and guests and has created a very social and welcoming place. There are great daily activities organised, and double points if you enjoy surfing, or would like to learn. I made some great friends here and it felt like a little found family for a while. I highly recommend this hostel and thank you again Lucky for the experience! :)

Zoe stayed with us for approximately three weeks. From the beginning of her stay, communication with her was smooth and easy, which we greatly appreciated, as this can sometimes be a challenge with volunteers. She actively engaged in our activities and enjoyed spending time with our guests, contributing positively to the overall atmosphere. Thank you, Zoe, for your support and effort during your time here. We truly appreciate volunteers who give their best.

Susanna spent a week with our community and immediately became a part of it. It was a great joy to share our daily life with her. We especially remember her Italian cooking, skillfully adapted to the improvised and limited Laotian conditions. The children really enjoyed playing with her. Susanna was a great help to all of us. She is a wonderful, creative, and delightful person. Many thanks for all your effort and dedication!

Pepijn stayed with us for nearly three weeks, supporting our team by managing our social media, particularly Instagram. He brought along high-quality camera equipment and contributed creative ideas that added great value to our content. I truly enjoyed working with him during his time here. In addition to his skills, he has a great personality and knows how to engage and entertain people, creating a positive atmosphere around him. Thank you, Pepijn, for your support. We always appreciate volunteers who give their best

I had an amazing time in Rovaniemi, Finland, with Chris' help! Chris is very kind and easy to communicate openly with. The work is pretty flexible most of the time, so I had ample free-time for my own plans. Many days I also did activities with Chris, he is very spontaneous which worked well for me to just tag-along day-to-day. Work was mostly help with his renting accommodations for other guests, some tidying, and general odd-jobs around the house. I also designed and painted a mural in Chris' home which I think he was very happy with, and someday I would be happy to return to do another! The location is beautiful and peaceful, 20 minute walk into the town in one direction, and quick access to nature in the other, with Chris' home set up as a little community on Rovaniemi's edge there was always a few different people around, and multiple different rooms that host visitors. I enjoyed cycling, nature-walks, skating, aurora borealis and quiet time in the snow, many of these plans helped by Chris' suggestions. We had many great conversations and I'll be very happy to see him and the other people I met through his community again, either in Rovaniemi or elsewhere in the world! This workaway is perfect for somebody who isn't afraid to live moment-to-moment with flexible plans, who enjoys nature, communal living, and who is good at open communication.

I spent a beautiful 2 weeks at the finca. The work was very manageable - projects included sanding down a mirror (to be painted in the future), weeding the garden and painting the ceiling. As I have a background in tech, I also built a website for their coffee business. The food was absolutely delicious, prepared by the amazing Natalia. Her son Santiago provided endless joy, and I enjoyed chatting to Diego who works on the farm as well as socializing with other volunteers who arrived in my second week. The location and finca nearby Pijao in the eje cafetero is stunning. The views are truly spectacular and there are lots of small towns and places to visit nearby away from any big tourist crowds. I was also welcomed by Andrea and Carlos who are in charge of the finca and visit a few times per week. They showed me around in their jeep and gave an informal coffee demonstration. I also met Gloria whose home in a separate town I was lucky to be able to visit. Communication was at times a little vague, and I was missing some overall direction - expectations, plans and schedules were never discussed and the original profile was outdated (although I’m glad to see it’s now been updated). I was told on my second day we’d be painting the house but I wasn’t able to actually begin until a week later. Things didn’t always seem very prepared. However, I found things like weeding the garden to do and generally had time to enjoy the tranquil setting. My overall experience on the finca was very special - thanks Gloria & Andrea for everything ❤️ Annie

My 2 weeks stay at Daniel's house was okay, The house is a beautiful place located in the city center. Did many hours lots of weeding in the garden, planted some plants, clean-up outside the house and in the kitchen, made orange-and lemon juice. Meals were served a few times, communication could definitely be better, rooms (some shared) spartan furnished. There is still potential for optimization.

Our Workaway experience in Latacunga was fantastic! Vero is an excellent host--she showed us around town, introduced us to some delicious Ecuadorian specialties, took us to the museum, and gave great recommendations to make the most of our two weeks in Latacunga. We had so much fun with her and her family. The school is well-organized, with a fully designed curriculum which is easy to follow. We enjoyed getting to know the students, who were eager to learn and respectful. Our teaching schedule allowed us to explore in the mornings and on the weekends. We were able to visit Cotopaxi, Quilotoa, Quito, and Baños. We appreciated having our own apartment that was close to the school, shops, and restaurants. Our time in Latacunga was a nice mix of teaching, exploration, and cultural exchange. Thanks for the opportunity!

Volunteer here if you want a chance to feel loved by Dani, her team and all the amazing animals! We really enjoyed our time here and everyone helped us to feel so welcome. The volunteer cabin is so cozy and we enjoyed staying with our 3 new amigos (Candy, Pancho, & Tomate). They were lovely dogs to stay with and each had their own brand of cuteness. There were also so many friendly pups we got to take out everyday and get to know. Some like Dominga were big, lanky, and gentle; resting her paws so gently on your shoulders when she wants to be stroked. We also loved the squat & strong, Oso, who was always so unproblematic and calm despite being such a heavy dog! We even discovered a budding romance between Oso and Dani’s Dad’s dog Linda! There was also the pack at Dani’s house where we spent many an evening being covered by at least 6 different dogs vying to be the one sat on the lap. If you like dogs this Workaway will be a treat for you! We worked mainly with Ignaçio (Nacho) who was super fun and kindly helped us to improve our beginner Spanish throughout the 2 weeks! He also patiently helped with our pronunciation and let us practise our newly learned idioms. The walks were always fun and we used the time to listen to audiobooks in Spanish. Gardening was fun and it was nice to be able to spend some time with the horses each evening - something neither of us had much prior experience with! All in all, this Workaway was a super amazing opportunity. We got to hang out with lovely dogs all day and take them for walks, and then had the afternoons to practice a little Spanish, have a siesta, and then work for an hour or two in the evening. It hardly felt like work at all! We will have this as a highlight of our 6 month trip to South America and will remember fondly all the time spent with the dogs and the people that made the time great! Adios! Muchos gracias!

I've been living with Leif and Nanaco fot about 3 months in winter 2025/26 I was helping with tasks like snow clearing, cleaning and preparing the Airbnb for new guests, making firewood, drove away the garbage and some other smaller tasks, whatever needs to be done. the work is usually pretty flexible. depending on how much it snows, the work can be more or less, but in the end, it is always fair. It was my 1st real experience in hospitality and it was cool to see how it works and learn new things. also, I got plenty of time to go skiing. I bought a season pass for Myoko area and went more than 30 times. usually skiing in the morning and a bit of work in the afternoon. I got my own little cabin to stay in. a cute little house surrounded by nature. although it can become pretty cool at night, but that's not a problem at all. you have several heating devices like a great firewood stove which warms up the room pretty quickly. also some other kerosene heater for the nights and for the bathroom. If you wanna experience life in a quiet, rural area, surrounded by nature and love snow, then it's the perfect place for you. Leif and Nanaco are really nice people. super friendly and supportive. and their one year old daughter Mileï is super cute as well. I had a great time in Myoko and I'm glad I got the chance to spent the winter there. Thank you Leif and Nanaco for the opportunity to stay the winter with you in Myoko. 😊

La pasamos super bien ayudando a Violeta y a su familia en la propiedad. El lugar es muy bonito, rodeado de naturaleza, y está literalmente a un paso de la playa, del centro de Zipolite y de la parada de la camioneta. Por lo general, ayudábamos de 9 a 14 en el restaurante, con el mantenimiento de la propiedad y en las cabañas. Los clientes son muy simpáticos, platicamos mucho con ellos, al igual que con la familia de Violeta. Tambien los gatos de la casa son demasiado lindos ! Muchísimas gracias !!!

Desde el primer monento que entre a la granja me cautivó,llegue y Candy estaba ordeñando su vaquita.llegue y todos los seres como dice Candy llegaron a saludarme.Este lugar cambio mi vida,desde el día uno me educó, me enseñó que hay mil formas de vivir diferente.Cambiar y mejorar el mundo se puede y todos podemos aportar con un granito de arena o de caca Jejejje (El baño seco me enseñó que mi caca es abono para las plantas y que no se necesitan millones de litros de agua para tirar la cadena) En este lugar aprendí a reciclar ♻️ todo tipo de alimentos y a transformarlo,darle vida ,tambien hubieron muchas noches de conversaciones interesantes,Candy es una enciclopedia andante,sabe mucho y siempre anda con una linda sonrisa, es un ser muy feliz y agradable. El bosque nativo fue mi abrigo y mi mayor maestro,entendí que todo está vivo y todos ocupamos un papel importe en este ecosistema llamado tierra. cosechar papas de colores mágicos me recordó mucho a mi abuelo y entendí que el mayor tesoro está en la tierra 🌍. Todo lo que aporte en este lugar lo hice con mucho corazón y amor se que tengo un hogar esperando en el sur de chile. Agradecida del universo de ponerme en el camino a una gran maestra,Somos tribu y mi corazón siempre estará acá,gracias por todo granjera ✨✨ gracias por recordarme que tengo que confiar en mis poderes de maga,gracias por recordarme que la 🧚 magia existe 🫶🏼

Frank and I had a wonderful three week stay with Vicki and Chris this summer. The work is a great mix of simple tasks you can get on with independently and more interesting projects working with Chris. The hours are fair, communication is fantastic and there’s a lot to explore in the surrounding area. Vicki and Chris are infinitely welcoming, kind and generous hosts, we felt very at home and enjoyed their company. Thanks both for everything :-)
