Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

I was at Alex's house in Oslo and had a very good time. He is a very quiet,peaceful and very kind person. I helped him assemble a furniture and a bed; the house is just a 5-minute walk from the first tram station and is very well connected to central Oslo! About my experience with him, only great things! I've been fine! 🇮🇹 - 🇸🇯

This was our first workaway experience and we couldn't have dreamed better. Patricia (her husband was away when we were there) was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. She is very kind and always ready to explain what she is doing. The place is incredible, isolated in a beautiful valley. We had our own fully equipped little cabin with our own fire stove and shower. We helped mainly with deherbing the garden, installing hooks for the tomatoes, taking care of the animals and watering the plants. Since it was spring, there were a lot of duck eggs hatching and it was an amazing and enriching experience to take care of them. We chose to share all the meals with Patricia and her daughters, as we got along well. Meaning we helped also with the cooking and with cleaning the dishes and baking some delicious desserts. Since Patricia is used to speaking English with the workawayers, we ended up speaking very little Spanish (mostly with the girls, but they are quite shy). We highly recommend this workaway ❤️

Staying with Emma and Matt has been an amazing experience. Initially we were only meant to spent two weeks with them but came back for another two. We missed the company, the amazing nature of Blewitt springs and of course Lainey, their dog! As we don't own a car, we spent a lot of time on their property and exploring the immediate area, which was lots of fun. Emma and Matt also took us around, showing us some of their favourite spots and local events. The area is full of culture and of course good wine. The house is very comfy, the food nutritious and healthy and conversations are great. While staying with them we did a lot of weeding, hedging and hoeing, which all felt worth while. Emma's vision of a native Australian paradise is slowly coming together, and it has been lovely being part of it. We hope to come back one day to see it all grown.

It is rare to visit somewhere and immediately feel at home. But at Ash´s place it would've been hard not to! It´s a beautiful, very artsy home and the cottage is petite but has all essentials. We enjoyed the three weeks we stayed with her a lot, doing mostly weeding, raking and lots of mulching. As we don't own a car, we found our way around Mt Barker, with shops within walking distance and even dared to visit Hahndorf :) Ash was always happy to show us around and gave great tips on where to visit. We truly felt like part of the family. Ash and her daughters are great company, and we shared some amazing dinners and conversations with them. We miss them and their loving home, and hope to one day return the favour by hosting them in Europe!

If you are looking for a second family, a beautifull experience with peruvians in an amazing place, take the shot. I felt welcomed even though I didn't speak a word of spanish. I already miss all of you guys ! The help is needed for the restaurant, the camp and the refuge. For the refuge I recommend somoene who studies/works with animals. Otherwise, you will learn a lot in all domains !

Aina estuvo con nosotros un mes. Estupenda: simpática, amable y muy concienzuda con todo lo que hace. Se fue hace unas semanas; ya la echamos de menos. Aina stayed with us for a month. She was wonderful—kind, friendly, and very thorough in everything she does. She left a few weeks ago, and we already miss her.

Sam stayed with us for more than four weeks and it was truly a pleasure to host him. He is very easygoing, friendly, and always ready to help. Sam naturally sees what needs to be done and take initiative, often bringing good ideas and helping to solve problems. He integrated perfectly in our team. Sam clearly enjoys working outdoors and in nature - he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty and is a very hardworking and motivated person. His communication was always open, which made working together easy and comfortable for everyone. We really appreciated having him here and his contribution helped us a lot. Overall, everything worked out wonderfully and we can warmly recommend Sam to any future host. He will be a great addition to any project and community.

Rai is a warm and serious person. He spent three weeks at our house and helped us a lot with the garden and painting some walls. He was also very good with our children. See you soon, Rai! Rai es una persona cálida, a la vez que seria. Pasó en nuestra casa tres semanas y nos ayudó mucho con el jardín y a pintar unas paredes. El trato con nuestros hijos también fue muy bueno. ¡Hasta pronto, Rai!

Nos encantó nuestra estancia en La Florida con Omero. Cada día fue una aventura y ahora tenemos recuerdos que nos acompañarán toda la vida. Nos alojamos en una cabaña de madera junto al río, en el que nos bañábamos casi todos los días, fue increíble!! El terreno es amplio, precioso y lleno de sitios lindos para relajar y disfrutar la naturaleza. El día a día consistía en ayudar con las tareas que iban surgiendo en la finca, además de tener la libertad de proponer y llevar a cabo algo creativo para embellecer el espacio. Algunas de las actividades que hicimos fueron: organizar cardamomo, limpiar y preparar un espacio para crear una casa de cultivo de hongos, cocinar, crear videos promocionales, cuidar los animales, mover materiales para los trabajadores del terreno, pasar tiempo con la familia (y los niños) que viven allí, y también hacer nuestros propios proyectos artísticos. Un buen nivel de español es necesario para aprovechar al máximo la experiencia. Hay una pequeña tienda al otro lado de la calle donde se pueden comprar cervezas o snacks. Muchas gracias a Don Omero, Doña Anita, Don Arvee, Doña Vale, Alis y Sami por esta experiencia tan increíble.

Ildiko stayed with us for about four weeks and was a wonderful addition to our place and team. From the beginning she integrated easily, was friendly, and showed great independence in her work. She helped with many different tasks - from painting rooms, clean up the greenhouse, building the path to the river. She was always motivated and happy to support wherever help needed. Beyond the work itself, she brought a very warm and positive energy to the team. We shared many nice moments together. Overall Ildiko was reliable, friendly, hardworking, and a pleasure to host. We can highly recommend her to any future host.

We got to do housesitting here for about a month in November/December and I gotta say, these guys are great. Super polite, good at explaining things and if things were somehow unclear we could very easily contact them through WhatsApp to ask a quick question and always got help, answers and support when needed. The house is right next to a beautiful forest where we could go on walks, but also close enough to Berlin to do a day trip there if you wanted. The morning and evening round with the horses was straight forward, well explained and showed to us, and only took about 45 minutes, max an hour to complete. One day we had an emergency with one of the horses and they were easy to contact and helped us out through every step of calling vets etc. Like I said, they’re super nice polite people and we really enjoyed our month there helping them out!

Ale y Matías son almas verdaderamente hermosas. Tenerlos aquí fue mucho más que recibir voluntarios… fue recibir familia 🤍 Los extraño profundamente. Desde el primer día, su presencia trajo amor, compromiso y una energía muy especial. Pusieron la casa de pie en muchos sentidos y la transformaron con detalles hermosos que siguen vivos hasta hoy. Su dedicación fue real, constante y llena de corazón. Ale tiene manos mágicas. Me hizo un hermoso yoga mat holder de macramé que es simplemente perfecto. Hasta el día de hoy, cada vez que lo veo, me hace sentir muy feliz y me recuerda su dulzura, su talento y el amor con el que lo creó. Es un regalo que vive en el espacio y en mi corazón. Matías siempre estaba pendiente de todo lo que se necesitara. No hacía falta decir nada — él observaba, entendía y actuaba. Su forma de ayudar era silenciosa, eficiente y llena de responsabilidad. Fue un gran apoyo en todo momento. Más allá de todo lo que hicieron, lo más valioso fue el vínculo que creamos. Compartimos la vida, el hogar, las risas, el trabajo, y una conexión muy genuina. Dejaron una huella profunda aquí. Quiero que sepan que siempre serán bienvenidos. Esta es y será siempre su casa. Espero de corazón volverlos a ver algún día. Los extraño y les agradezco infinitamente por todo lo que dieron y por el amor que dejaron aquí.

María es un ser humano simplemente hermoso, por dentro y por fuera 🤍 Desde el primer momento la sentí como una hermanita, con una energía dulce, pura y muy especial. Tenerla en casa fue un verdadero regalo. Su presencia llenaba el espacio de calma, alegría y ternura. Siempre nos hacía sentir felices de estar juntos, compartiendo momentos simples pero muy significativos. Es una artista increíble. Sus pinturas son hermosas y tienen alma — realmente tiene un don muy especial Fue un privilegio verla crear y compartir su arte con nosotros. Su sensibilidad y creatividad trajeron una energía única a esta casa. También ayudó mucho en todo, siempre con buena disposición, respeto y amor. Es una persona muy considerada, fácil de convivir y con un corazón enorme. Fue muy triste que se fuera tan pronto… nos hubiera encantado tenerla por mucho más tiempo. Dejó una huella muy profunda y un vacío que se siente. Quiero que sepa que esta siempre será su casa. Siempre será bienvenida aquí, como familia. La extrañamos mucho y estamos muy agradecidos por el tiempo, el amor y la luz que compartió con nosotros

Ana y Jhon han sido, sin exagerar, los mejores Workawayers del mundo 🌟🤍 Desde el primer día, su energía fue simplemente divina. Son dos seres humanos maravillosos, amorosos, respetuosos y con un corazón enorme. No solo ayudaron muchísimo en la casa, sino que su presencia trajo alegría, calma y una sensación de familia que es difícil de describir. Me ayudaron demasiado en todo momento, siempre dispuestos, siempre presentes, siempre con una sonrisa. Nunca tuve que pedirles algo — ellos veían lo que se necesitaba y lo hacían con amor y dedicación. Su actitud fue impecable. También ayudaron muchísimo a mi mamá con sus redes sociales, con tanta paciencia y cariño. Ese gesto significó más de lo que pueden imaginar. La hicieron sentir acompañada, valorada, y eso es algo que nunca olvidaré. Pero más allá de todo el trabajo, lo más hermoso fue la conexión humana. Llegaron como voluntarios… pero se fueron como familia. Compartimos momentos, risas, conversaciones, comidas, y una energía muy especial que transformó la casa. Desde que se fueron, la casa no se siente igual. Dejaron un vacío real, un silencio distinto. Se les extraña muchísimo… su presencia, su alegría, su forma de ser. Esta casa siempre será su hogar, y aquí siempre tendrán una familia esperándolos con los brazos abiertos. Gracias por todo lo que dieron, por su amor, su compromiso y su hermosa energía. Los quiero y los extraño un montón

Lars is truly one of those volunteers that every host dreams of having… From the moment he arrived, he brought such a calm, respectful, and beautiful presence to the house. He is incredibly kind, easygoing, and very considerate of the space and everyone around him. He has a very mature and correct way of being, but at the same time he is warm, funny, and lovely to share daily life with. He is extremely hands-on and proactive. You never have to ask twice — he simply sees what needs to be done and does it, with care and attention. He helped so much around the house, always with a great attitude and willingness to contribute. And the garden… wow. He created a beautiful garden space that completely transformed the energy of the house 🌱 It’s something we will continue enjoying every day, and it will always remind us of him. And let’s talk about his cooking… Lars doesn’t just cook — he creates happiness in the kitchen 😄 He loves cooking and sharing meals, and everything he makes is delicious.He made this amazing curry dish... He brought such a cozy, homey feeling to Dharma, and those shared moments were very special. He is also a very clean, organized, and respectful person, which makes living together effortless and harmonious. Truly someone you can trust completely with your home. Honestly, the only bad thing about Lars is that he left too soon! We would have loved to have him stay longer. He is always, always welcome back here — Lars...this will forever be your home in Colombia 🏡🤍 Any host would be incredibly lucky to have him. We recommend him 1000%. Thank you, Lars, for your work, your kindness, your beautiful energy, and for leaving a piece of your heart here with us ✨

I stayed nearly a month. I was made to feel welcome and was fortunate as power had just been restored from a neighbour when I arrived. The next day two lovely Norwegians helped replace the water pipes, so we could fill the tanks and also fill the pool! I’ve used a top loading machine, so washed lots volunteer and guest sheets and host laundry. I also planted fruit and vegetables. I’m a wildlife volunteer, so was able to relocate amphibians to safety from being washed down the pool drains. I found it challenging to sleep in a tent for 3 weeks, and also without power, so it will be memorable, as will the amazing animal and birdlife. I wish them well with their many projects.

This was my very first Workaway experience, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better one. My main task was taking care of the sweetest dog, Snips. She is such a loving dog, it was truly a joy to spend time with her every day. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. From the moment I arrived, I felt comfortable and at home. Even though I only stayed for a short week, the experience was really meaningful and special to me. I’m very grateful for their trust and hospitality. Thank you for such a lovely first Workaway experience!

Maki & Gen are such fabulous ambassadors for Japan - and Japanese culture! The sense of respect they brought to everything in daily life was so special to witness… I am so grateful to have spent time with them both. ADORED! The meals they cooked for us ~ DELICIOUS! … (& I apologies again for Craig’s sh*tty GF muffins 🤭) All the gardening tasks were tackled head-on - even when the weather was challenging! I wish them all the best with the journey ahead.

Best workaway I could imagine!! Thank you so much Georgie and Harry for making my first workaway experience better than I had hoped. They went above and beyond to make sure that I was comfortable and happy throughout my stay and always entertained my thousand questions about their family and life in Scotland. I absolutely loved getting to see the nearby towns and lochs, meeting their friends and family, and exploring the gorgeous paths near the house. Their boys are so sweet and playful and never failed to make me laugh and teach me new games. The whole family made me feel very much a part of the wonderful home they’ve made and I am so grateful for my time with them. The “work” included cooking, playing with the boys, taking 9 month old Jeanie on walks, helping out with small things around the house! What a truly amazing family living in one of the most beautiful places in the world. I so hope to be back someday and have already recommended them to all of my friends if they’re headed towards the UK for awhile. Thank you for everything!!

The hostel hosted me for a one week working experience and I had a good time. The staff is very friendly and made the integration very easy going even if my Spanish is not the best. My tasks were mostly front desk work at the reception. The common areas are spacious and welcoming.
