Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

Hosting Emma was a truly wonderful experience for our family! We spent nearly three weeks together, and she became a part of our home. She was very clean, tidy, and respectful of our house rules. ​She got along perfectly with our children; they had so much fun together. Even though our English is at a beginner level, communication was never an issue. Emma is so expressive and uses her body language so well that the language barrier simply disappeared. We also loved learning so many interesting things about New Zealand from her! ​What touched us most was her respect and adaptability during the month of Ramadan. She fit into our daily routine so naturally. We are so happy to have met her and would highly recommend her to any host family. Thank you for everything, Emma!

Freya es una persona alegre y responsable que en estas dos semanas dejo lo mejor en nuestro proyecto , siempre con una sonrisa y la mejor energia!!! Gracias por todo querida Freya !! esperamos volver a verte

Non avevo mai ricevuto due sorelle ed è qualcosa di strepitoso. Infatti adesso vorrei che tutti i Workaway che vengono a trovarmi abbiano un fratello o sorella, o almeno Un cugino ahahaha. Sono stato molto bene con le due ragazze. Sono due sorelle davvero disponibili In qualsiasi lavoro e imparano anche in fretta. Abbiamo lavorato sia fuori che dentro e la loro energia è molto bella, allegra es energetica. Sempre sorridenti, hanno migliorato il tempo e lo spazio. Infatti quando vorranno potranno tornare. Grazie per aver scelto di venire da me, a presto. I've never had two sisters before, and it's amazing. In fact, now I wish all the Workaways who come to visit me had a brother or sister, or at least a cousin, hahaha. I had a great time with the two girls. They're two sisters who are truly available to any job and are also quick learners. We've worked both inside and outside, and their energy is wonderful, cheerful and energetic. Always smiling, they've made the time and space better. In fact, they can come back whenever they want. Thank you for choosing to come to me, see you soon.

my time at this place was a peaceful reset that I definitely needed. the space is beautiful and tranquil (with the exception of barking dogs but that's expected in the Colombian countryside). the living area is comfortable and the food delicious and filling. flexibility is definitely needed in terms of accommodations with the retreats, be prepared to change sleeping arrangements as necessary. the work I did was mainly landscaping and deep cleaning of the retreat spaces as well as serving food during the retreats. work hours are very respected! you must enjoy and do well with structure and schedules for this Workaway. the one thing I wish was more clear from the profile is that food is not provided on the weekend and there is no kitchen access at all for volunteers (no stove/oven, no guaranteed fridge space). Natalia (& her lovely parents) and Eyal are super kind and it was a pleasure to join them for this project!

Steven was such a lovely person to have with us at the hostel. From the very beginning, his charisma and warm presence made a difference—guests felt comfortable around him right away, and he naturally connected with everyone, from travelers to the rest of the team. He’s organized, reliable, and easy to work with, but what really stood out was how kind and respectful he is in everyday interactions. He brought a really nice, positive energy to the space and quickly became part of the little community we had. Honestly, having him around felt more like having a friend than just a volunteer. We’d happily have him back anytime and can definitely recommend him.

Anja stayed with us for 3 weeks, it was a lovely exchange. i found her to be a quirky, intelligent, caring person. She made good bonds with everyone she met here. Anja done varies jobs like looking after my dogs and cats, setting up accounts to sell clothing online for me, cleaning, organising my garage, shes not scared to get her hands dirty, she helped me with manual labour jobs around the garden. She's also a great cook, I wish her the very best on her journey.

Dionny et Allan sont incroyables, c'est très plaisant de pouvoir échanger avec eux. Allan nous a même organisé une partie de futbol avec les locaux. L'horaire est très flexible et m'a permis de faire plusieurs hike. Allan offre de très bon conseil pour les randonnées!

The time we spent with Nowelle was a treasure and and a joy. She is a fantastic person and a very good chef and baker. We miss her every day and welcome her back any day.

Sonny arrived at our place by Motorbike, all the way from Norway which was super impressive. He was a great help. Super hard working, very friendly, and bonded really well with the group. We were happy for his support.

I am very thankful for this experience! Tom ist a kind, friendly host, the work on the farm is easy and makes absolutely happy in this stunning landscape. Wilma the dog is funny and lovely, too - as same the chickens. The food is soooo nice and fresh and the apartment in the house, where I lived in, is modern and beautiful. The olives are magic as well as the nature there. The village is only 5 min walk away - so I recommend Tom absolutely!

Niklas was an absolute pleasure to host, and we feel truly grateful that he chose to stay with us. From the very beginning, he was kind, respectful, and easy to be around, quickly becoming a natural part of our daily life. He brought great energy and a positive attitude, and his help (especially with photography) was exceptional. The quality of his work honestly exceeded my expectations and added so much value to what we do. He was always willing to contribute, attentive to details, and genuinely cared about making a difference. Beyond his skills, Niklas is simply a wonderful person to have around, thoughtful, friendly, and open-minded. My family and I shared such beautiful moments with him, and those memories will stay with us for a long time. I also truly appreciate the trust he showed in me by booking his Kilimanjaro climb and safari through my company. That support meant a lot to me, both personally and professionally. I can wholeheartedly recommend Niklas to any host. He will not only contribute with his skills but also leave a positive and lasting impression wherever he goes. We will always welcome him back with open arms and hope our paths cross again someday

We spent about 40 days at Grazia and Antonio's house, and it was one of the best experiences we've ever had! We truly formed a family bond; sharing time and conversations with them was the best part. They opened their home to us, we tried new local dishes, shared experiences, and became part of their routine with their animals and daily life. We had a room with a private bathroom, and we were in charge of feeding the animals and often cooking (especially vegetables we had never eaten before!!! hahaha Grazia always bought us meat because she knows we love it). We also tidied up and cleaned parts of their house. We took away the best memories and hope to return soon! They are all part of our story. We adore them!

Gracias amigo por entender la nueva forma de vivir y por toda la ayuda que me brindaste la vida sigue y encontrarás personas que piensan igual que tú feliz viaje amigo gracias por todo nos vemos en la montaña suya

Volunteering here was great! I extended my stay by a month and had a really good time. The hostel is very clean and organized and it’s a really good vibe. I highly recommend!

We stayed two weeks in March at Jutta's and Marco's little self-sufficient farm and welcomed us warmly at their place. It's truly a special place and you can tell that they've been putting their heart and soul into creating a living in harmony with nature. We learned a lot about self-sufficiency and got inspired to dive even deeper into it. Jutta loves to share her knowledge and she really pampered us with her homemade dishes with fresh ingredients directly from their farm. Our room was super comfortable attached with an own bathroom which we really enjoyed as well as the cozy living room with the oven creating a warm atmosphere in the house. We mainly helped outside with trimming trees, getting rid of thorny plants and helping Marco to refurnish the chicken coop. We made most of the sunny days and keeping it more relaxed when it was pouring outside. Helping to create cheese and butter at a friend's farm was definitely one of our highlights. Thank you again so much for having us and hopefully join you again at another time of the year.

Thank you Hugh and Jane for being welcoming and generous hosts. I had so much fun during the month I stayed there. During the day we all got to spent time in the sun working on the vines and in the garden. At meal times Hugh and Jane made sure that we always lots of amazing food and wine in the evenings. And they both kept everyone entertained with their funny stories and naughty jokes. During my free time I got to go and explore the local area which was beautiful. We got to spend time with their friends and family aswell which great! I learnt so much during my time there like how they do smoked cheese and smoked mackerel. I also really enjoyed spending time with the other workawayers Andreas and Andrea!

Anna and Johanna stayed with us for two weeks and were an absolute pleasure to host. They were friendly, easygoing, and fit into daily life here right away. During their stay, they helped with a wide range of projects. We tackled a big job in the vegetable garden—pulling weeds, topping it up with a ton of soil and manure, and planting over 120 seedlings. Their help made a huge difference and the garden is thriving because of their effort. They also spent time in my pottery studio, helping me paint pieces, which I really appreciated. In the second week, we worked together on improving the front garden—digging out rocks, building a small brick border, and plastering it. The final result looks fantastic and we’re really proud of what we accomplished together. Beyond the work, it was a lovely experience sharing time with them. We were able to visit the beach and enjoy a cave and dolphin boat tour together, and they also had plenty of time to explore the Portuguese coast in the afternoons. They were respectful of the house, leaving everything clean and tidy, and worked really well as a team. Overall, Anna and Johanna were a great help on our old Portuguese farm, and we would happily recommend them to any future hosts.

I stayed with Jay during 10 days, and it was an amazing experience. We've been working on a eco-building project together. Jay is used to host volunteers ; he is very patient, communicates very well and knows how to adapt to the helpers. It was very easy to live and work with him. He knows a lot about farming, nature, plants, self-sufficiency, building, recycling and he's always happy to share his knowledge. He's also a very curious and open person and he's happy to be thought new things as well. I felt at ease during my stay. He's also a great cook and prepares delicious breakfasts 😉! (with garden plants/herbs and fresh eggs : amazing) The property is absolutely beautiful and very calm. I loved this place, I wished I stayed longer. I've learned so much!

I had an amazing time with Sophie, she’s an incredible host! I always felt truly seen and fully included in her and her daughter’s life (a great daughter of a great mom!). You immediately feel on the same level, and it’s clear that she has a lot of travel experience herself. She’s very open, inspiring, and always has an ear to listen :) She worked alongside us, so it never felt like work and everything was relaxed and fun. I loved helping with the clay walls of the outdoor shower. She also cooked delicious meals, and it was fun to cook for the group as well. We all got along really well, and the atmosphere was always relaxed. Campfires and Hanno’s pizzas were definite highlights! My accommodation was beautiful and had everything I needed. She also made sure I got to see a lot of the surrounding area, including beaches, nearby towns, and the market. Overall, I felt like part of a family and would love to come back! I can highly recommend staying with Sophie.

I was supposed to stay for two weeks, but I ended up staying for a whole month and honestly, I wish I could have stayed even longer. In Chom Thong, I met amazing people. PJ and her family are incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuine. From the very beginning, they made me feel at home. During my stay, we built a clay house together with other Workawayers. The work was relaxed, fun, and never too demanding. PJ was always happy to share stories about Thai culture and farm life. We also had plenty of free time to do our own things whether it was working remotely, exploring the surroundings, or visiting the national park nearby. And after work? Time to relax! We often went to the nearby waterfalls to cool off, it was the perfect way to end the day. I stayed in a tent at first, which was cozy and comfortable. After a big storm, PJ kindly moved us into a room in the hostel (it was low season), where I spent the last two weeks. The food deserves a special mention: it was some of the best Thai and international food I’ve ever had in Thailand, absolutely delicious every day. Leaving Chom Thong was not easy. I truly felt at home there, and I’ll definitely come back again.
