Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

Hannah was such a great Workawayer. She was an Amazon woman - strong and capable - learning quickly and always ready to do the garden project tasks with enthusiasm and skill. While she was here, she did a lot of garden clearing, apple picking, heavy haulage and plenty of brick laying and concrete mixing. She was very dependable and good at working unsupervised. She was also a great part of the team that was here at the time, getting on well with everybody and always a positive and happy presence. Very easy to host - always keeping things clean and tidy - and going with my long list of `house rules' I would welcome Hannah back any time and can heartily recommend her to any future hosts or employers. So grateful for all your help Hannah - Happy travels!

Lila was a great help during her stay here. She helped look after the animals, gardening, mulching and tree planting working carefully and steady. We deconstructed and moved a large shed with the help of many friends and neighbours while she was staying, and was great at working as part of a team. Also, she made some lovely meals, and is a great cook. I saw her art work and she is very talented should you have any fine art that needs doing. Lila is bright and friendly and I would highly recommend to all hosts. Thank you Lila! You are welcome back any time.

I stayed with Mie for a little over two months at the beginning of 2026. It was such a special and holistic experience. I feel lucky to have met such a kind and respectful group of students. The lessons are fast-paced and you have between 1-4 students at a time, which allowed me to get a better sense of each students individual personality and learning style. Over two months I really had the chance to connect with every student. The content of the lessons varied but were always planned out and explained in detail prior to beginning. If you have questions you can always ask. You also create your own lesson plan for the Saturday classes. When it came to the living situation, Mie is so sweet and made the transition to living in Japan so smooth. The room you stay in is comfortable and has everything you might want or need. Her house is in an amazing location. You are a five minute walk from a train station that gets you to Hakata in 40 minutes. You are also biking/walking distance to a very nice gym, library, and cafe. Mie consistently checked if I needed help with anything. She also cooked a large meal three times a week and these were something I always looked forward to. She made a variety of Japanese food and they were always so delicious. She even taught me how to make my favorites and find the ingredients so I could recreate them back at home. Mie was also very generous with her time in showing me around Fukuoka. We went to some temples and monuments and on a beautiful hike. Because she knew how much I love to try new food, she provided me with some background on Japanese cuisine and took me to try various items. These excursions were such a special and memorable part of my experience. Overall this was an amazing experience and Mie demonstrated more kindness than I could summarize here. I absolutely recommend it!

This has been one of my best Workaway experiences. I get to do what I love—taking lovely, smart, and understanding dogs out for walks in the morning, enjoying the sunshine, and trying new “Michelin-style” dishes in the evening. Working with Galya feels as smooth and in-sync as a staff engineer and a project manager. Whenever I slip up, she steps in immediately to fix things—never any complaints, just moving forward together. Their home is incredibly generous, with unlimited beef, cheese and fruit, and Galya is an amazing cook. I often get to enjoy her delicious dishes😋 This is what a beautiful life looks like!🥳

Quentin and Paola were here for nearly 4 weeks. They helped with many springtime tasks and were always willing and generous with their effort. They were very kind to the animals and poultry, herding and feeding them. They are an excellent team working steadily in a quiet calm way. Thank you both for choosing to stay here! I recommend to other hosts.

I stayed 5 weeks as a volunteer in December. The experience was amazing and I loved my stay. I had to organize one activity per day for the guests. I met amazing people and really felt like I was home there with the guests but also with the staff. I would completely recommend you to volunteer there but make sure of two things : - you're social and love to meet people all the time. It's your job to meet & gather people. - you're ok to be in a dorm with 3 other guests that are changing quite often If those 2 things are OK with you then there's not doubt that this place is heaven on earth and you will feel right at home there :)

I really felt in love with Jericó and Ian so happy to got the chance to volunteer at this finca. Communication was always easy and I enjoyed my time there a lot. With fresh vegetables from the garden we ate always fantastic. I hope to go back there at some point and I am gonna have this time I spent there for my lifetime to carry with me. Gracias Aaron for the opportunity and wishing you the best to evolve your project.

"Queremos expresar nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a la familia de Francia que nos honró con su visita a San Clemente. Su integración en el día a día de nuestra comunidad fue una experiencia enriquecedora para todos. Ayudaron en el campo, compartieron momentos con nuestros animales y se involucraron en nuestras tradiciones. Su disposición para aprender y su amabilidad nos conquistaron el corazón. Esperamos que hayan sentido el calor y la hospitalidad de nuestro pueblo, y que San Clemente sea un lugar que siempre recuerden con cariño. ¡Gracias por ser parte de nuestra familia en esta visita "

Hospedar a Eniko y Kata ha sido una gran experiencia. Son dos jóvenes con muchísima energía, muy alegres y siempre dispuestas a ayudar y a aprender. Cumplieron perfectamente con las tareas que se les asignaron y la convivencia en casa fue excelente. Un gran extra es el cariño con el que trataron a las mascotas. ¡Totalmente recomendadas!

This was my first experience as a voluntary and If you’re looking for more than a voluntering this is the place. Karuna and Ramon are amazing people. They taught me skills in construction, but these come with love, passion, confidence and patience. I understood the meaning of support in the comunity and something very important is that we are humans; we have different stories about sadness, happiness, lost and suffering but at the end there are people like them that make you feel in home just preparing a delicious meal, giving advices, sharing beatiful sunsets and talking about many items. Thanks my friends!!!

We spent a lovely month in Gillian’s beautiful garden. Our daily task was to look after the hens, the 38 chicks we watched grow up, and Bruce the rabbit. Gill taught us how to look after the garden and her polytunnel, which requires a great deal of precision and quite a bit of energy. Beyond the work, Gillian is a very active woman with a keen artistic sense and remarkable cooking skills. If you enjoy art and/or cooking, she’ll be delighted to chat with you about these topics! The house is a one-hour walk from the nearest village and a two-hour walk from local amenities. If you don’t have a car, as was the case for us, trips into town are rather limited and depend on Gill’s schedule. The surrounding countryside and towns offer some lovely walks to enjoy in your free time and on days off. A big thank you to Gillian, who gave us such a warm welcome and taught us so much about garden maintenance. Despite a few communication issues at the start of our stay, we had a wonderful March surrounded by animals, art and, above all, chicks.

From the very beginning until the end, we always feeled like at home. The whole family warm welcomed us and we could exchange a lot about the peruvian culture. The work with Dionny in the field was also a really nice experience. Sometimes we went for an ice cream in Carhuaz after the field ✌🏻Dionny teached us aswell how to cook the amazing ceviche 😋 and other traditional dishes. The whole family is very openmind and love to share stories/cultural topics. We also had enough time to discover the Cordillera Blanca and to do some hikes. Alan really knows his region perfectly and organized us different hikes. He also helped us to be ready for the Santa Cruz. Dionny, Alan, Mafi, Margarita, Valentina, los cuyos y los niños - muchas gracias a todos 🫶🏻

Mattia & Maria Alejandra were a great addition to our team and a pleasure to host. They are positive, responsible, and easy to work with. They adapted quickly to our environment, showed great initiative, and were always willing to help with a good attitude. Communication with them was smooth, and they connected very well with both the team and our guests. We truly appreciated their energy, reliability, and teamwork, and it was a really nice experience having them with us. We would gladly recommend them to any host and would be happy to welcome them back anytime. Thank you again for everything and all the best in your future travels! 😊

I want to share my incredible experience volunteering at this place! The most valuable thing here is definitely the people. A special shout-out to Kevin — he’s an absolutely amazing guy, a natural leader, and the heart of this community. He makes you feel at home from the very first moment. I was involved in building a house for one of the volunteers, which was a great hands-on experience. But the highlight for me was the evenings: Kevin organized communal dinners for everyone every single night. It was such a warm atmosphere and a fantastic way to practice English naturally while hanging out. The surrounding nature is breathtaking — the perfect environment to recharge. Huge thanks to Kevin and the whole community for this opportunity. Highly recommended!

He realizado mi primer workaway con Ana y sus adorables animales, y aunque ha sido una estancia muy corta, no descarto volver a ponerme en contacto con ella para volver por su bonito hogar. Es un lugar precioso y con mucho que aprender y Ana te explica todo con cariño, el mismo que tiene a todos sus animales y lo que ha construido. Sus perros y gatos te acogen como si fueras parte de la familia. Me acompañó mi perra Dana y con ella genial, sentí que la incluyeron desde el principio, era una más ❤️🫶

I have just finished my first work away experience here and it was amazing, so much more than I ever was hoping for. Wim, Anaïs and Marc are all so lovely and easy to get along with. The work was really varied and so it never felt boring. The food was amazing, we ate delicious food every single day. The yurts and all the facilities were great and really cosy when it was cold in the evening with the wood burning stove. The whole experience just couldn’t have been better, very quickly it felt so comfortable, their warm energy really made us feel so welcome and we quickly all felt like a little community. The place itself is so beautiful and peaceful. I really got so much from my whole experience there, I definitely want to go back and couldn’t recommend it enough. Thanks so much all three of you!! Hopefully I’ll be back as soon as I can 🌝

I had a memorable experience, an immersion in the massaï community. I was warmly welcomed to stay for more than 2 weeks at Salome's nice house. I felt part of the family, having meals together , going out together. Salome and her husband were so nice with me, and little David was so cute ! I had the opportunity to teach French in a school, to spend time with the children, to attend to a wedding and to a solidarity gathering, and to sleep in a traditional massaï mud house. I enjoyed a lot this experience and recommend this workaway!

Joel was a pleasure to have stay with us. It was a short stay on his way through to Queensland unexpected but absolutely destiny. As a chef he cooked up some amazing delicious meals which was such a blessing after long days of work for us. He is eager to learn new tasks, a great worker very easy to get along with, great sense of humour (we had some laughs and shared many stories of adventures ) We didn't want him to leave and will definitely stay in touch. An all round great guy!

Lara is such an enthousiast and easy-going person! It was amazing to have her in our little community for a few weeks. She made us all laugh many many times, and her spontaneity lightens everything up! We could count on her for any job, including the heavier ones. Thank you so much for that!! She would always ask if we needed help with anything and would give an extra hand, even though her work time was over for the day. Lara is always very grateful for everything. She is a communicative and a group-spirit person, and is also very caring towards people's needs and thoughtfull of that at all times. Thanks so much Lara for sharing your spark and your energy with us all! We wish you all the best in your future community projects and hopefully see you back soon! :-)

I will never forget my stay in this community!! So much warmth! I had an amazing experience. I was encouraged and supported by the staff of the NGO when I launched completely new projects in the women empowerement program : a professional massage training and jewelry workshops. I built a strong link with the mamas' and I am still in touch with them 5 months after. It was a meaningful, emorable adventure, so enriching. I highly recommand this workaway .
