Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

Denis is one of a kind. Logically thinking, reliable, respectful, honest, quiet, good worker. It was a pleasure to have him around and I enjoyed our conversations. I can recommend him 100 percent and wish him all the very best.

El olivar, el viñedo, la zona boscosa y pronto las colmenas… ¡tantos proyectos maravillosos en los que incluso podrías participar! ¡Y todo esto cerca de la playa! El trabajo es variado y flexible: renovación, jardinería, construcción de nuevos proyectos El galpón, ese granero lleno de potencial, es donde comemos, compartimos asados, reímos, bailamos y practicamos deporte, con una vista imperdible de las estrellas y las tormentas al atardecer. Los animales: hay dos perros, El Chapu y Roy, cada uno con su propia personalidad, pero muy cariñosos. Y dos gatas, Oliva y Maréa, dulces e independientes, que te acompañarán durante tu estancia. Y luego está la gente que conocerás, el corazón de Workaway. Y si tienes la suerte, como nosotros, conocerás a Agustín, el hombre detrás de este increíble proyecto.

We had a wonderful experience with Manon and Manon, as they are very respectful, responsible, and lovely people. We loved having them at the Finca and they are always very welcome ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Raphael was a pleasure to meet, we had some awesome conversations and he had a good rapport with everyone he got to meet here. Unfortunately it was raining when he arrived so that meant he did not get to do much outside work. He was willing and helpful around the house, and he did a good job with sweeping and mopping the floors. He also helped with the cooking and made a mean bangers n'mash! Finally it was time to go outdoors and tackle the tall grass with a whipper snipper! Although he had not used one before, Raphael persevered and conquered the sometimes cantankerous beasts, and yes he did a very good job! as the grass was very high and also slightly wet still. We all enjoyed his cheeky grin and enthusiasm for life and he is welcome back anytime he wishes! I truly hope he has many great adventures and wish him well! I found Raphael interesting and had meaningful intelligent conversations. Thanks Raphael!

I had a truly wonderful experience here. I felt very comfortable in the house from the very beginning; it has a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home right away. The animals were also such a joy to be around. Naomi the dog and Poa the cat are both lovely and added so much warmth to my stay. Dewi is a beautiful, kind-hearted, and calm person, and you can really feel that energy reflected in her home and the overall environment. I would totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a genuine and relaxing Workaway experience.

I had a great experience staying with Adam. The main project involved helping with house renovation, and the work was well-organized and fair. They were very kind, flexible, and understanding, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable rather than stressful. I especially appreciated their openness and willingness to adapt plans when needed. Communication was easy, and I always felt respected and comfortable during my stay. Another highlight was the food and drinks—they shared delicious local dishes and some really good beers, which made the cultural exchange even more memorable. Overall, I highly recommend this host to anyone looking for a positive Workaway experience with a good balance of work, learning, and enjoying local life.

I had a great stay with Margaret, Derek and Marshall (the sweetest dog!). Margaret is a fantastic host who provided a comfortable place to stay and clear instructions on tanks that needed to be done. I found the routine very relaxed and learned a lot about the local area. A great way to start my adventure in New Zealand. Thank you Margaret!

Jeff and Darcie have been the highlight of my Workaway Experience. They were extremely welcoming, making me a part of the family from Day 1. They invited me to join all their events, including dinner parties, trips to the market, concerts, and community events. They showed me all the cool things Vic En Bigorre had to offer, including my favorite: the artisan pizza vending machines! The work was educational and Jeff made sure to have fun with it, playing music, joking and sharing stories as we restored centuries old features. While I was there, we mostly focused on reinforcing the ceiling, and it makes me proud to know that ceiling will be sturdy for a while yet to come! I also did some smaller tasks like staining windows, treating countertops, running wires through the walls, etc. While you're here, you'll be exposed to all sorts of fun projects! Jeff and Darcie really care about the people they invite into their beautiful home, they care about your well being and aspirations. My favorite part of the day was dinner, Jeff and Darcie are amazing cooks. Almost every night we had something new and delicious. I thought I was a good cook but they taught me so much and I can't wait to recreate Jeff's 'fried' chicken. I hope that Jeff and Darcie remain lifelong friends and I can't wait to come back to see the house once it's back to its former glory.

Flora and Florian are amazing volunteers. They spent a lot of time playing with and helping the children and always brought positive energy to our home. They also came to help me at my homestay once time at weekend and wonderful with the guests. They are friendly, helpful, and easy to live with. On their days off, they actively met local families to learn more about Vietnamese culture, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend them to future hosts.

I had a lot of very great moment at the english school of Phnom Penh. I stayed there 1 month. You can practice a lot about teaching 'cause all the lesson are prepared before by the main teacher. You also learn a lot from the kids there that are all very nice, talkative and easy going. Sometime they already have a real good fluent english what helps a lot for the conversation club. Special reference to the neighborhood professional badminton player kids ;). The size of each class allow you to be real close to any student and there's a lot of decent materials even though I think a good old whiteboard would be saving more money. Some online class also allow to practice others kind of teaching skills. Keep in mind its a very famillial situation but still very rewarding. All that without talking about our dear American and Khmer boss : Noah and Kheng. Two very friendly souls always ready to share a moment with you or a good conversation. They also are always honest and talkative and their advice are precious and positivs. They also give you a warm welcoming, and the conditions of life are comfy and convenient. The neighborhood of the capital city Phnom Penh where they did settled the school is great and its a good in between still close to the center. I definitely recommend it even if it aint the traditionalest place, I'm sure some people will prefer it like that, we're in the capital after all. The teaching hours are not long everyday and the schedule is well managed. It also a very inspiring teaching style of lesson through game and conversation. Long live the school.

I had beautiful two weeks with Aurore and Zeb. They made me feel comfortable right away an I knew I was in a good place, on the very first evening when I saw them sitting by the stove together with Modjo the cat and Biboune the rabbit. They are both very intelligent and inspiring people who approach new projects with courage. They placed a lot of trust in me when it came to the tasks, which allowed me to try new things and learn a lot. Zeb especially took the time to show me practical skills, and I definitely left knowing more than before. I mainly worked in the garden, where I helped level a slope. On rainy days, I assisted with renovation work inside the house and occasionally took care of the animals. Although I was a bit afraid of larger animals, Piloul is such a wonderful being that in the end I even went on walks with him on my own. The balance between work and free time was very good. I usually worked around four hours a day. I also had plenty of opportunities to go out: I joined Aurore for sports and dancing, and explored the area with Zeb as well as on my own. I also had the chance to practice a lot of French, both speaking and listening wich was my goal. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. I will keep it as a very special memory. Bisous and see you!

It was an absolute pleasure hosting them at our school. From the very beginning, they were kind, respectful, and full of positive energy. They connected so naturally with the children, bringing joy, care, and enthusiasm into every activity. The students really loved spending time with them, and we could see the happiness they created every day. They helped also a lot in construction project. They were always willing to help, easy to communicate with, and adapted very well to the local environment and school life. Even in a short time, they made a meaningful impact on both the children and our community. We are truly grateful for their support and would warmly welcome them back anytime. Highly recommended to any host 😊

Vi boede og arbejdede hos Eva, Gianfranco og Tori i 3 uger. Det var nogle dejlige uger, hvor vi nød deres gæstfrihed og hjertevarme tilgang til alle. Vi hjalp til på deres lille hostel, hvor vi mødte mange spændende mennesker. Eva og Gianfranco formår at få alle omkring sig til at føle sig godt tilpas i deres omgivelser. De taler mange sprog - selv deres datter Tori på 9 år! Arbejdet var let. Vi gik hver dag i køkkenhaven, hvor vi gravede, såede, vandede etc. Derudover hjalp vi til med rengøring og huggede brænde. Deres sted ligger meget bekvemt. Vi boede på landet, men busserne holdt lige ved døren og vi var tit i de nærliggende byer og ved Palomas dejlige strand. Alt i alt havde vi en dejlig oplevelse, som vi varmt vil anbefale til andre workawayers.

We stayed for three weeks at the arboretum and made some brilliant memories. It is a truly special place that allowed us to feel as though we were contributing meaningfully during our travels. We enjoyed spending time with other volunteers, cooking with fresh produce from the garden, and exploring the many tracks through the forest. Mark and Maz were such generous hosts who were committed to ensuring we made the most of our time in the forest and in the area. They had some brilliant recommendations for our days off. Mark’s attitude towards the project (and life in general!) was particularly inspirational. The work is primarily weeding on a steep hill, though there were sometimes alternative jobs to do if rain was torrential. We would recommend bringing waterproof clothing! We were free to organise our own working hours and it always felt manageable. Mark and Maz generously provided food and did a regular grocery shop so there was always enough to eat. Each volunteer/pair/group had their own unique sleeping space and all other areas were shared. There could be quite a few volunteers at once and we valued getting to make connections with others. Thanks again!

Having Tjasa staying with us was truly wonderful! She flowed so naturally with us and took on little jobs like making a fire in the morning and preparing breakfast while I took my daughter to kindergarten without me even asking her about it. We shared great conversation and I found it very easy and enjoyable to be around her. She was open to learn and try new things like using the chainsaw and I wish she could have stayed longer. Our house will always be open to you Tjasa and I wish you all the best with your sauna research :) and that you enjoy whatever next adventure you go on . Hugs from Muni & Simone

From the moment he arrived, he brought a calm, grounded energy that positively influenced everyone around him. He has a naturally easygoing and warm presence that makes people feel comfortable right away, which really helped create a great atmosphere here. He was always willing to help whenever asked, approaching every task with a positive attitude and genuine care. Whether it was daily responsibilities or jumping in where needed, he showed reliability and consistency throughout his stay. What truly stood out was how well he integrated with the group. Gabriel is very outgoing and social in a natural, effortless way—he connected with everyone, contributed to conversations, and became a valued part of the community in no time. Beyond being a great volunteer, he’s simply an adventurous and thoughtful person with a great spirit. His openness to new experiences and people really shines through. I would highly recommend Gabriel to any host without hesitation. He brings both great energy and dependable support—an ideal combination.

Wow what a special place! My friend and I stayed at the school for just over a week and fell in love with Chitti. We were shown warmth and kindness from all volunteers, teachers, Shamser, the students, and locals. The work required was straightforward and rewarding. The experience will stay with us for life. We’re heartbroken to leave these wonderful kids! Thank you Shamser and everyone❤️

The word that first comes to mind with this workaway was 'real'. This was my first workaway experience and it felt like the perfect place to start. Sasha is an excellent host, extremely hospitable and his wife, Ying is also very welcoming who cooks great food. The place is beautiful and comfortable - in the mountains of Pai with nature all around. Great distance from Pai ... far enough to feel unplugged yet close enough to get to town easily when you wanted. This place also seems to attract really great people, and there was a community feeling among the volunteers that was special and that I never felt with a hostel. This was also the first time in my trip where I felt like I made authentic connections to the local Thai people. I'm grateful for this experience and can honestly say I left a better person.

Alvaro! Thank you so much for the kind words. It was such a pleasure having you with us throughout February. We really appreciated your proactivity and how quickly you settled into the team. You had a great sense of humour, were always a social butterfly with our guests, and were reliable. It was awesome seeing you making the most of your time here, especially with your enthusiasm for surfing every chance you got, you were always in the water, which was awesome to see. You were a fantastic addition to our house, and we’ll definitely miss having you around. You’re welcome back anytime for more surf and good times. Best of luck with your next adventures!
