Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

Moé, Ragen, and Surabhi are truly wonderful hosts. My children and I had an experience here that we could never have had in Tokyo. It was incredibly valuable and meaningful for all of us. We took care of ducks, geese, and a hen, and enjoyed eggs collected fresh each day. Living surrounded by nature, we experienced a different rhythm of life. When electricity was limited, we used a generator. We pumped water from the well. Living in a place where things we usually take for granted are not always available taught us so much. This experience helped us understand not only self-sufficiency, but also the unique characteristics of the local community and way of life. It was a truly unforgettable and enriching stay. We are deeply grateful.

Auguste is a lovely young mature girl. She looked after my little mate (dog) and they created a special bond. She also in between dog sitting helped with cleaning, cooking and all other domestic jobs. She was a pleasure to have around. She is welcome back any time.

Mastewal! We want to express our sincere gratitude for the wonderful experience that both students and teachers have had with you. Your dedication and hard work have made a real impact on our students' English language learning journey. We especially appreciate the genuinely kind and encouraging atmosphere you consistently brought into the classroom. You truly created a safe and caring space where the students felt comfortable enough to practice and grow their skills. Thank you again for sharing your time and positive spirit with our school community!

Maria Alejandra! We can’t tell you how lucky we are that you chose to come teach the students at our school. You are such a kind and patient teacher, and the joy you brought our students is truly inspiring. I urge you to keep volunteering and teaching along your journey in life, as your love and kindness for children are extremely needed and invaluable. Best of luck on all your future endeavors, safe travels, and keep in touch!

Lea and Mathieu recently spent 12 days at my home. They both fitted in well and I really enjoyed their easy going company and the food they prepared. They preformed any tasks required with common sense and great attitude. I certainly wouldnt hesitate to host both again.

Merci beaucoup à Solene et Blandine de leur aide à la maison. Bonne continuation.

This was a last-minute stay and a really lovely exchange. She is very new to this kind of work and understandably cautious about getting things wrong, so clear guidance helped her feel confident. Unfortunately, café commitments meant I couldn’t work alongside her as much as I wanted to, but once she had direction she followed through well and completed the jobs asked of her, including tidying around the greenhouse and cutting back a very over grown ficus vine. She was respectful in the house, easy to host, and left everything tidy, including cleaning up after her and stripping the bed. A wonderful start to my Workaway journey, and I wish her all the best with her travels ahead.

Nicki was an absolutely incredible host — we couldn’t have asked for a warmer or more generous welcome. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel completely at home and treated us like family. She went above and beyond in every way: cooking us delicious meals using produce straight from her garden, sharing wonderful stories, and always checking in to make sure we were comfortable and happy. Nicki was full of great local knowledge and recommendations, even keeping an eye on the Mount Cook weather each day so we could plan our time off flexibly around the best conditions. She was a wealth of information about the area and genuinely cared about helping us make the most of our time there. She also went out of her way to support our future plans — helping us look into Class 2 licence training for Shane, giving us fishing rods and gear so we could try fishing in NZ, and even assisting us in securing paid work after our stay! She was incredibly kind, flexible, and thoughtful throughout our time with her. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and her big heart truly shines through in everything she does. We’re so grateful for the experience and would happily return to help again in the future if we get the chance. Nicki is a truly wonderful human being, and anyone lucky enough to stay with her will be in very good hands indeed!

a great stay! the apartment is in an excellent location- literally close to everything! I had plenty of time to explore Wellington and I had a lovely time doing this- Victoria was very flexible and had loads of great recommendations. I really feel like I had fair balance of work and free time. I enjoyed accompanying Victoria to various places such as a morning swim- lots of memories which I'm glad to have experienced. Thanks Victoria!

We stayed at Tracy's farm for 12 days and we had a really good time. For our first workaway it was a great experience. The warm welcome of Tracy made us feel at ease right away. Tracy is kind, hardworking and easygoing. Thanks to her we learn lot of things about farming, horses and New Zealand in general. We helped her with few tasks as gardening, cleaning, feeding animals, storage... We enjoy our time at the farm surrounded by animals, dogs, horses, cats and two adorable kittens. We immersed ourselves in New Zealand life, we were lucky to participate at the weekly pub quizz. It was funny. If you are near to Christchurch, we recommend you go to Tracy's home. Thanks a lot and take care !

Mariela stayed with our family through Workaway, and we are truly grateful for the time we shared. She is a warm, kind, and joyful person who always had a smile on her face and brought a positive energy to our home. She spent a lot of time playing with our daughter, and they had so much fun together. Because she has experience as a school and kindergarten teacher, her games were very creative and thoughtful. Our daughter was always laughing and excited when she was with Mariela, and as parents we really appreciated that. Mariela also helped with housework very carefully and responsibly, often doing more than we asked. Thanks to her support, our home life felt comfortable and relaxed. We also loved her cheerful spirit—sometimes singing a little or dancing for fun—which brought warmth and happiness to our days. Mariela is a wonderful guest and person, and we highly recommend her to any host family. We hope her journey continues beautifully, and we would be very happy to meet her again someday.

Merci Nacho et Carmen pour cette semaine incroyable dans votre réserve ! J'ai pu me ressourcer et apprendre le temps pour mieux apprécier ce lieu si exceptionnel! Merci pour tout

Merci pour cette expérience incroyable ! C'est un lieu parfait pour se ressourcer et en apprendre plus sur la culture hindouiste. Ivan est le guide idéal. J'ai passé 2 semaines exceptionnelles, dans un lieu entouré par la nature et les chiens.

Ludivine was a pleasure to have with us on the farm! Her positive attitude and calming energy was so nice to be around! - she helped with cleaning jobs, animal welfare and general diy around the farm! She had a great work ethic and was happy to work! I would recommend her to any host! 10/10 you are always welcome back to Ballinadee ❤️😊✨

We had the pleasure of hosting Rebecca at our hostel for six weeks, and we couldn’t have asked for a better volunteer. From the very beginning, she showed great responsibility, a positive attitude, and a genuine willingness to help wherever needed. She supported us with daily hostel tasks such as cleaning, organizing common areas, assisting guests, and helping at reception. She was always punctual, reliable, and thorough in everything she did. Rebecca connected very well with both our team and our guests. She is friendly, respectful, and easy to work with, which created a great atmosphere in the hostel during her stay. Many guests appreciated her kindness and welcoming energy. What we valued most was her proactive mindset — she often took initiative and didn’t need constant supervision. She learned quickly and adapted easily to our routines. We are very grateful for the six weeks she spent with us and the positive impact she had on our hostel. We would gladly host her again anytime and highly recommend her to any future host on Workaway. Thank you, Rebecca, and we wish you all the best in your next adventures! 🌍✨

Jenny brought an incredible depth of knowledge about plants, wildlife, and ecology to our project. She is observant, thoughtful, and highly detail-oriented — qualities that made her a tremendous asset to our team. Despite her small stature, she is remarkably capable and resilient. She approached every task with care and precision, especially when it came to maintaining cleanliness in our off-grid environment. She quickly learned the ins and outs of our washing machine (having grown up with the same type) and even improved our system with helpful tips. The only downside was that she became so effective at laundry that she spent more time there than we would have liked — we would have loved to see even more of her energy directed toward planting and wildlife care! She also resolved frog and ant issues with compassion and respect, encouraging everyone to see nature — even insects — differently. We genuinely learned from her presence here. Jenny’s contribution went beyond physical work; she influenced our perspective. We’re thankful for her time and highly recommend her.

Fergus stayed with us for far too short a time — we genuinely wish he could have stayed longer. From the moment he arrived, he was ready to jump into physically demanding and challenging tasks without hesitation. He worked with focus, strength, and a positive attitude that made him a real asset to have around. Beyond the work itself, Fergus’ interest in practicing his massage skills was an unexpected and very welcome bonus. His curiosity about technique and his desire to improve added an extra layer of connection and wellbeing to the experience. He’s thoughtful, capable, and brings a grounded energy wherever he goes. We would gladly host him again anytime.
