Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

Quentin arrived full of enthusiasm and energy. He was always kind and caring towards the animals. He was efficient and hard working and always willing to help.☺️ Quentin was friendly and got on well with all of the team.

It has been a great experience! Fiona and Manuel are very welcoming, kind and will explain everything needed. I had to spend a night at the hospital and they did everything to help and support me! The work leaves plenty of free time and it's never too tiring. It's also quite varied and there is the possibility to work on different tasks: gardening, woodword, prouning, planting, etc. The place is situated in a great location which is isolated but not too far from the city. Thank you for everything!

Nuri was an excellent host, great chef and tour guide. From expertly guided tours around town to plates piled high with delicious traditional Turkish dishes, every day came with its own treat. The location couldn’t have been better, just out of Trabzon but still within walking distance. The work itself was varied and interesting, so no two days felt the same. A truly memorable Workaway experience all round.

Sorry for the very very late review Anna. Anna is a kind, considerate, and able to get down to tasks young woman, who is honest and hardworking . She can be a little over eager at times, meaning that she did not always listen fully or in a concise way to detailed instructions and in her enthusiasm to help would sometimes get things a bit mixed up, but this was coming from a place of trying to do her very best . She volunteered at a time of huge loss, heartbreak, extreme grief and sadness and massive challenges as my life partner passed away while she was here. I am very grateful for her kindness and support, as of the other volunteers too , at this time. It was not easy for either the volunteers or myself . Thank you for everything Anna.

The Most beautiful family in the world!!!! I stayed with Maire, Declan, Mariana, Florence and Micheal for a few months this year. This is a very special family who I know will be in my heart always. I devoted time to their 3 beautiful children and supported their new addition of young Micheal. I would highly recommend anyone seeking to visit this beautifully serene area of Western Ireland. Please only visit if you share the love of exchange, culture and compassion.

We spent 2 amazing weeks at the Hanft finca! Timo was an amazing host, he brought us in different places and we really enjoyed it. He was super enthusiastic about the aquaponics system and the tilapia pool. We learn a lot, we did different tasks and never felt boring. We also learnt to do pretzels and had amazing time in the kitchen with Timo! The food was a lot and very good! But the most exciting moment of the day was playing Rummikub with Gertrud, a very nice and sweet woman who we miss already! There are a lot dogs, who are super energetic and affective (they lick a lot). We would do this experience again and again!

Harmyn came and dog sat our greyhounds for a week and was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate recommending her to any potential hosts. She was friendly, easy going and easy to talk to and looked after the dogs very well. The house was left immaculately and she gave us regular updates and photos of our dogs. I imagine she would fit in anywhere and would be a good addition to any work setting or household. Thank you Harmyn and I hope you have a great time on the rest of your travels.

I was with at the finca for almost 3 weeks, and my experience was amazing. Luz has a huge heart, she is so generous and welcoming, always worried about the volunteers´ wellbeing. I helped with a touristic project and also at the veggie garden, which was amazing. Tasks were not so clear at the begining, but if you have some initiative, creativity and the will to contribute, you wil find yourself so much to do. The finca is stunning, so I enjoyed some evening walks, yoga at the look point. Getting there from Armenia is super easy, and visitng towns around is also super accesible with public buses. I definitely recommend it for other travelers, either solo, couple or groups. And I´d definitely go back once.

It was a pleasure to have Mizuho visit. She is an exceptionally respectful person and a very kind individual. Super polite, super organized, and super clean. She is also independent and enjoys learning about different cultures. She helped with daily household chores and painting, as well as with my cleaning when I was in a hurry. She taught me how to cook some Japanese food. She left everything spotlessly clean and organized. It was wonderful to meet her and have her in our family. Thank you, Mizuho!!

I had a really lovely time with Anna and her family, they always made me feel welcome and appreciated, which made the experience even more meaningful. The house is very big and it has a beautiful garden. I had my own room with direct access to the garden and a bathroom almost entirely to myself. Since I stayed here in winter, there wasn’t much to do outside, so I mainly helped with house tasks and taking care of the ducks and chickens, which I really enjoyed. I also helped with cooking and had chance to try Anna’s delicious homemade dishes, all prepared with organic ingredients. The work wasn't stressful at all (around 20–25 hours per week) and I had plenty of free time, during which I went for walks around Schönberg and its surroundings, or took the bus to visit Lauf an der Pegnitz and Nürnberg. It was a great opportunity to practice my German and learn more about everyday German culture. Anna, Robert und Arved, vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit bei euch, Ich werde diese Erfahrung nicht vergessen!

Great 2 months experience in the Pauline's rescue. If you want help animals and give them a love and a best life, you are in the right place. I came with my two friends and Pauline was very patient when teaching us about animals and our english. You will see, she prepare an excellent porridge for the breakfast 😉. Thanks to Pauline and Orlaith for this moment.

It was a pleasure to had Mariam at my place. She helped a lot with photographing and filming my new bandproject and pushed bringing things together forward. She’s a very nice lovely cool person! Although the weather when she came were unfortunately not the best, she tried to make the best out of it! Thanks a lot Mari for your great help and activity!!! Wonderful!!!

Petr and Lene were exceptional. They were very committed to the tasks they were assigned and are very hard and eager workers. It was very refreshing to see such dedication and hard work. They painted our kitchen and did a fantastic job. They scraped the wall in our Blue Room to prepare it for painting. They did a lot of organising of materials and spaces to get ready for artists to arrive. When it was their turn on the rota they were great at cooking. We recommend anyone to host Petr and Lene and have them in their home, they are excellent at tasks and extremely nice, kind and generous people.

My time at Jayalakshmi's place was just wonderful, and the profile doesn't do justice to the beauty of the place. If you want to live a simple life, learn about traditions, farming, recipes, natural remedies, and much more, this is the place for you. Jayalakshmi is an extraordinary women, generous and kind and brave - and a great cook. Thank you for the beautiful and inspiring days.

From the first message we exchanged with Marta, we felt more than welcome to join their beautiful family homestead. She invited us to spend Christmas together and we thought it was an amazing idea:) We spend 10 days with them and every day was full of joy. It was wonderful to share stories and eat good food together, while our kids played and played, the cats purred and the fire happily crackled. We participated in their event of Christmas Carols, where we met their neighbors and had some of the best cookies ever:) Playing music again felt soo good! Their place is magical. Thank you again for sharing this time together! I feel it was very important and special to connect our families together. Who knows where our journey will bring us….

I truly enjoyed living with this family for about two months. They took me to many different places, and I was able to learn about Canadian and Russian culture as well. Because of my English level, there were probably times when I couldn’t express myself clearly, but they kindly accepted me and treated me with warmth and understanding. I am sincerely grateful to this family from the bottom of my heart. If I visit Canada again, I will definitely get in touch. Thank you so much for giving me such a wonderful and memorable experience.

What a lovely time I had at the sanctuary! Annie was a kind and welcoming host, always clear about the tasks, and it was truly a pleasure to have long conversations with her. During my stay, we built a fence for the animals (while the pigs kept us company and “supervised” our work, haha), cleaned different areas, and took the dogs for walks in the nearby countryside. I was so glad to see how healthy and happy the animals are there, and how they are treated with such a deep respect and love. The village has its own sweet charm, and even though the weather was sometimes rainy, the landscape was beautiful. The place has a peaceful atmosphere - and so do the hosts. I also had so much fun with the other volunteers! We worked really well together and made a great team. Would definetly go back again. See you another time Annie and Adam!

Zoe is a very conscientious and helpful person. She helped us effortlessly with everything we needed. Thank you for this precious time spent with us. You are welcome again anytime 🙏🏼

I spend 3 amazing months in Broome with Luisa and her family. I help with diner, I love baking, drawing and plays with the girls. I was feeling like at home. I got my own room and the house is right next to the beach. Luisa is kind, always ready to listen and does her best to make everyone feel comfortable. The girls are adorable, full of energy and funny. It's definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Australia. I'm very grateful to have met them. I miss them a lot.

I had the best time with Judi and David! They welcomed me with open arms and I really felt part of their lifestyle from the beginning on. I really enjoyed spending time with the animals. Some of the things I really enjoyed were cuddling with the sheep, moving the cows with the horses, and feeding the chickens. I could spend hours just sitting in the gras with the animals. It's called a work away but it honestly didn’t feel like work because I enjoyed it so much. David and Judi can cook really well. I got plenty of really good healthy homemade meals (including the merienda ;) ). I am vegetarian whereas Judi and David aren't but this wasn't an issue at all. I am very thankful that they adjusted their food situation without any issue. Oh and during the meals there were also good conversations, they have done some very exciting things themselves! I also had the pleasure to meet David's parents who are the kindest people and I really enjoyed sharing meals and conversations with them. I got to practice and definitely improve my Spanish a lot while being there. They were very patient even if they had to repeat something like 100 times ;) Overall I am very thankful for my experience and would love to return one day! Judi and David thank you sooooo much for having me and you are always welcome in the Netherlands. Muchisimas gracias y hasta pronto!
