Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

We feel very lucky to have hosted Natsumi and truly appreciated the time we spent together. From the beginning, she was kind, respectful, and a pleasure to have around. She worked consistently and approached every task with care and dedication, always willing to help. We especially appreciated her positive attitude and the way she quietly but consistently contributed to daily life on the homestead. Our kids loved having her here. They shared great times—and it was beautiful to see how naturally they connected. It meant a lot to us. We also really enjoyed learning more about her home country and sharing cultures with each other. Those moments made the experience even more special for our whole family. Overall, we are very grateful for her time with us and would warmly recommend her to any future hosts. She will always be welcome back here!

Johannes es un gran ser humano, con mucha energía y siempre colaborador nos ha ayudado muchísimo con el trabajo que hacemos en la finca. Su siempre con buena actitud, su gran sonrisa y animo, nos ha motivado para seguir adelante con el proyecto.

Chris was an exceptional guest, and we are very grateful for the time he spent with us. We have honestly never met someone who works as hard as he does. No matter the task, bringing out compost, moving heavy beams, cleaning up, or anything else that came up, he approached it with energy, commitment, and a great attitude. His work ethic really stood out and made a big impact on our daily life here. He also helped consistently with daily chores in the house, which we truly appreciated. Although he mentioned being a bit shy at first, he blended into our family almost immediately. He built a lovely connection with our youngest, spending a lot of time playing and engaging, which meant a lot to us. Chris was very curious and proactive, always looking for ways to help and learn. We really enjoyed our conversations with him and learning more about his life in Montreal and his work. Chris left an everlasting memory. He is a very pleasant and easy person to have around. We would highly recommend him to any host, and of course he is always welcome back here, the hammock is ready for him anytime.

We spent 6 weeks with Frank and Junko and received a very warm welcome. During our stay, we helped maintain their property by cleaning the pool, mainly collecting leaves, doing pet sitting, and general cleaning tasks. In exchange, we were accommodated in very comfortable conditions and shared many warm and enjoyable moments with our hosts, as well as with the other volunteers we met along the way. It was a truly wonderful experience that we highly recommend. We would be very happy to return and spend more time with Frank and Junko in the future.

Such an amazing family. Andi and Ella are the nicest couple we’ve ever met, always trying to do good for us in every possible way and making it the best Workaway experience. We truly felt like part of the family from the very first moment. Every breakfast, lunch, and dinner we shared turned into interesting conversations about all kinds of topics, and we learned so much. We learned a lot about alternative medicine and herbs, off-grid living, and martial arts—but I feel like that was only the tip of the iceberg. Simon and Samuel taught us German through their homework, which we really enjoyed. Not to mention all the fun we had sledding in the snow and building an igloo together.

Thesi is the coolest woman ever—very warm-hearted and welcoming. She always checked to make sure I was having a good time. Right upon my arrival, she introduced me to the beautiful city of Vienna, where I spent a wonderful weekend less than an hour from her place. She prepared some of the very best traditional Austrian food, along with other healthy and delicious meals. I had a great time working at her place, helping with various tasks around the house in a beautiful setting. Her dogs are absolutely lovely—I really enjoyed taking care of them. My favorite task was feeding Pauli, the mini pig. And I have to mention that her knitting tips were life-changing!

And this is review ! 🙇‍♀️ Kotone, thank you for everything.you were a great help to us. Even though your stay was only two weeks, we created many wonderful memories together, and the time passed so quickly. Kotone is polite, considerate, and always ready to help whenever needed. From the moment she arrived, her warm and considerate personality made her very easy to live with. She was always helpful and willing to support us with various tasks such as cleaning, gardening, and assisting Romy with cutting work for her job, which was a great help to us during her stay. She was also very flexible and understanding when plans changed, which we really appreciated and made everything run smoothly. Kotone kindly cooked delicious Japanese meals for lunch, and she always took initiative in cleaning up afterwards. We shared many meaningful and enjoyable conversations together, talking about our daily lives and cultural differences. She has a very open and positive way of communicating, which made our time together especially nice. It was lovely to see her enjoying exploring the city of Vienna and watch theatres as well. In her free time, she spent time playing with my children, whether it was card games or running around in the park. She was patient, caring, and playful with them, and the children absolutely loved spending time with her. Overall, having Kotone stay with us was truly a wonderful experience, and she was a great support to our family. We would warmly recommend her to any future hosts.

Hi workawayers! I truly believe that choosing Tom's farm as my volunteering experience in Tassie, It was the best choice I could ever make! Plus, If you are a girl that travels alone like me, and want to visit Tom and volunteer in his farm, girl don't worry, u are safe here, Tom has never made me feel uncomfortable, He is truly the best! I always felt respected. He had traveled a lot around the world, and he also knows what it means been far from home. He is very funny to be around, there will be times where you'll chat while having dinner or lunch together and I think that's one of the best things about volunteering; sharing ideas, opinions, talking about life experiences, bonding even if you are from different countries with different backgrounds. About the volunteering, He was always there, ready to teach me something new and explain to me how to do stuff that I never done before. The experience reflects 100% Tom's profile, He'll give u different tasks so everyday it'll be different so the motivation and the mood is gonna be always high! You will meet a lot of incredible lovely animals! Pygmy goats, highland coos, chickens, roasters, a giant Flemish rabbit and two gorgeous and lovely dogs, Buddy and Freya! All the animals are treated with kindness and respect, they are very free and Tom loves each one of them! You'll have a lovely room and a comfortable bed to rest after work. There are paths on Tom's property that are 100% worthy to explore! Tom's project is bigger that "just a farm"! He's been working for years to make wild life in the area, easier and smoother. In the area you'll see wallabies, kangaroos, wombats, Tassie devils and more! More luck after sunset. Be careful if you drive in the area after the sunset. Thank you Tom for everything! You made my Tassie adventure and stay unforgettable! KEEP TASSIE WILD! ❤️

Joan and Niels are wonderful people. They know a lot about how vegetable gardening, are hard working people, are proactive and always find solutions to issues. It was agreat experience to have them here. Joan cooked some traditional danish dishes who were very tasty and will probably become part of the dishes we eat often. I can only recommend them to any host.

Dante stayed with us for 2 weeks and we can say our experience with him was perfect. A perfect fit. He was the first to try our tent and also the one to have given us a really big hand to improve our starting situation. He is smart and full of ideas to share. He learns quickly and is curious towards new things and situations. His adaptability and flexibility left us amazed, his help was very precious to us. He was also able to organise some of the few tasks he could carry out by himself. Together we finished our compost toilet, planted trees and new seedlings, general gardening maintenance and we set up our chicken coop thanks to his many ideas. We cooked so many yummy dishes and spent fun and chill moments together. He was very respectful of the shared facilities, our routine and with all of our animals as well (they loved him in their very funny way!). We are glad to have met you Dante, wish you all the best and hope to see you soon amigooooo! Big hugs!!

Emma was a fantastic helper, always willing to get stuck in and lend a hand. She was consistenly cheerful, enthusiastic and an absolute pleasure to have around. She was super easy to live with, friendly, chatty and really interesting too. We had many great conversations while she was here. Emma has been back to us a couple of times now and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone. She was also brilliant with the dogs.

i had a great experience at Clara in the Montecalvo Versiggia Wine Area! Clara is a friendly, funny and cool lady, living in a small village with dogs, cats, chicken and Jochen, the german neighbour :). 💗Everymorning I walked the dogs, feed them and the cats, looked for the poop and cleaned the floor. After we drank together coffee. If you a learning italian, love dogs, cats and the simple life you should defintely go here. I enjoyed the silence, just birds and the dogs barking in the morning. It was my first work and travel and i am glad i made it at Clara! I also met her son and he brought me closer to the italian life. He is a sweetheart. I think it's a bit sad that my Italian wasn't very good, because I believe we would have had more interaction. Next time, fluent! 😄 My room was really cold in march, if you have Problems with this, you should prepare your bag with another blanket. And you should be okay with staying alone for 2-3 days, but for me both was easy. thank you clara for the experience and maybe we meet us again 🇮🇹❤️

Martha stayed with us for less than a week, but she brought a really warm and easy energy into the space. She helped out with pumpkin planting, painting, cooking, and overall upkeep, always with a calm, positive attitude. It was genuinely nice to have her here, both in terms of work and just sharing the space. We’re really glad she stopped by, even if it was for a short while, and we wish her the best for everything ahead.

Andreas stayed with us for a short period of less than a week, but in that time he made genuinely positive contribution. He helped us with planting pumpkins, some light woodwork, and taking care of the garden, all with the willingness to learn. He was respectful, easy to host, and blended well into our space. Wishing him all the best for his future volunteering experiences!

I spent a bit more than 3 weeks at Jan and Stephan's yoga farm and it was an wonderful experience. Met amazing and friendly people there, including 4 cuddling cats, 3 cheeky horses and the lovely dog Poncho. The place is quiet and very beautiful, nice to take walks around the area. The food was great and tasks rewarding. Will visit again if I ever get back to Portugal 🙏

Sabine is a really lovely lady. Communication was perfect, she arrived with no problems, and she speaks excellent English. She house sat for us for just one week, cooked a lovely meal for our daughter for the day she arrived, and is very welcome to return in the future. Wonderful!

I had the best time at the shelter 🩷🦘🦜🤩 Manfred is a real good person. He takes perfect good care of the workaways. Makes sure that you have everything you need and are happy. The accommodations are very comfortable and the vegan food is soooooooo yummy 😋 He would buy anything you use to eat or drink if it's not already there and you ask for it. Taking care of the kangaroos is an amazing experience. These animals are the cutest ! I feel so blessed to get the opportunity to be around them, and to learn so much from Manfred. During the days off, you can join him (he is a wild life rescuer) on rescue mission or snake catch. So interesting 🤩 The property is just beautiful, in the forest. Lots of walks to enjoy around. Lots of birds. I understand why all the Workaways want to come back ! This place is heaven, even more so with a glass of wine by the fireplace on cold evenings 😊 Thank you for everything Manfred !

Erfan is from Iran and has studied in Turin and has a degree in engineering. He came to me before the war started and was a very good worker And even though after the war started and he could not contact his family, he didnt waiver in any of the jobs I had given him although, as you can immagine he was in pain and worried. He is a very gentle person, very respectful and very clean. He participated willingly in all of my dinner parties, we are all around sixty years old, but he took part in our conversations and even cooked iranian food for us. He had in fact brought some iranian saffron for us especially. He is now looking for a job but being iranian he is extremely penalised and I am so sorry that such a wonderful gentleman like this should be in this situation. I sincerely recommend this incredible young man.

My volunteering experience with Mila was a real pleasure. I spent two weeks in Keelung, and I enjoyed every single day there. It’s a vibrant town with so many spots to explore on long walks, and you’ll have plenty of free time to wander and discover it at your own. The accommodation is cozy and perfectly located, making it easy to enjoy the area. Tasks are tailored to your skills, so you can focus on what you genuinely enjoy. Communication and task instructions are handled online, which is good to keep in mind. The project itself is truly special, you can really feel how much heart has been put into it. 🌞 On top of that, the community and the other volunteers I met were kind and fun, and we had an amazing time together. My stay went by sooo fast (and it wasn't that rainy so don't worry abt the weather!) 🫶🏽

I had a really lovely time at Helena and Justin's place. They are genuine, generous, and kind people who make you feel at home as soon as you arrive! They are very flexible with the work and make sure that you also have time to explore. I would definitely recommend a stay here and will remember it fondly. Thank you Justin and Helena and Chika and Gogo☺️
