Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

Mateo thank you for everything. Mateo is responsible and a hard worker!

My week with Sebastian was very pleasant. I frankly could not have had a better host and he made me feel very welcome in his house inside the clouds. Thanks again for the enjoyable discussion, the good food (the flan!) and for the TV shows marathon :p

It was a real pleasure having Illy and Lukas stay over Christmas, they are fun, tidy and generous. Illy helped me tremendously with my SEO and worked on my website which has sent more people my way - thanks ever so much!!! Lukas was hands on building shelves, gardening and making the house work more efficiently. Also these guys know about food, they cooked delicious meals to share and we had a lot of laughs together. They also picked up a couple of yoga classes each for me so I could rest which was amazing. I miss you both....and so do the animals.

Olivia was absolutely exceptional. Tip top human. She came for two weeks and stayed for 6! Olivia is easy to get along with, a keen surfer, kind at heart, a stellar cook, and a very supportive friend. Her many talents include photography and she took the most lovely photos of our treehouse for me to use in social media. She helped me organize my mind regarding launching our business and wrote down detailed notes including a welcome packet, which i had been dreading. She got me instagram ready and launch ready! Olivia and I worked together to put the finishing touches on the Treehouse and a female touch on the bathroom, kitchen, living room, bedroom, and exterior. She is also a nurse. When the crown fell off my tooth, she was the perfect person to have around and her calm demeanor and factual knowledge put me at ease. I wish I could list all the ways she is amazing, but she should just know that she made a big difference in our lives. Big impact with that big smile.

Ryan stayed with us for a month and was a pleasure to host. He is a interesting and entertaining guy who is very capable and happy to turn his hand to any task. I ended up being very busy at my office when Ryan was here so I didn't get to spend as much time with him as I would have liked. He had to work on his own for most of the time which he never complained about and always did an excellent job. We had some very enjoyable conversations and I felt I learned a lot from him. Ryan also fitted in very well with the family, we all missed him when he left. We would have no hesitation in recommending Ryan as a Workaway and hope our paths will cross again sometime if he is ever back in Ireland. Andrew & Siobhan

Tobias is a delight person to work with, He is polite, and agreeable. He did what I asked for and did well. He's job of weeding, pruning and watering all followed my instruction and well done. He also paved the path with paving stone, perfect work. I highly recommend him as your workawayers. Diana Wood (Boxwood Cottage and Gardens)

Judith is an excellent person—responsible, reliable, kind, and attentive. On top of that, she’s very talented and makes delicious treats! We are delighted to have her with us, helping our students improve their language skills.!

We very much enjoyed having Oliver and Lena stay with us, they were a great couple to have around and were cheerful, helpful and very capable. They stopped off on a cycling trip around the North West of Ireland and covered some very impressive distances with very heavy bikes. Both of them were keen to see the landscape around Sligo and, even though they were with us for a short time, I think they got to see some of the nice scenery. Oliver and Lena were great workers and were happy to get stuck into any task. We would highly recommend them as Workaway guests and hope to see them again sometime. Andrew & Siobhan

Hostel Mostol was one of the warmest and most enjoyable experiences I’ve ever had. I stayed there for several weeks, and each day brought something new and exciting. I am especially grateful to the staff for their friendliness and care—they truly made my stay comfortable and joyful. The guests, coming and going, were each unique and fascinating in their own way. I cherished every moment here, and I highly recommend everyone to go and experience this wonderful place themselves. I have a strong desire to return one day and open the doors of this hostel once again.

We spent two weeks with Catharina and Carlo, they both are very nice and caring people. Catharina is a strong and determined woman with such an interesting and inspiring life story. Carlo has incredible knowledge of the area and of history in general. Carlo is a most gentle and sweet man, with so much to give. He also had a lot of adventures in life and has a lot of wisdom that he gained from his experiences. We wish we stayed longer. We had a lovely accommodation, private and comfortable. Catharina is an amazing cook, every day, she has surprised us with truly delicious food. We worked in the garden mostly, and I (Barbara) helped Catharina in the kitchen as needed. We hope our help made a little difference and helped to put the garden back in shape. Thank you for everything, Catharina, Carlo and all the best for all the years ahead.

Luca messaged at exactly the right moment when we really needed help, arrived the next day & we instantly hit it off. She is super easy to be around & a very good self starter (I was a little concerned about her age but she showed me that doesn’t really matter!). We had the absolute pleasure of hosting her for just under two weeks, and she was a dream to have around. She took fantastic care of the animals, walked the dogs, chopped wood, and created & organised wood storage under the panera. She even built a tree platform and extended the compost bin, along with countless other helpful jobs. She worked positively, never complained, and was always willing to go the extra mile, even on longer days. She connected beautifully with the kids, who adored her—she took them swimming, drew & played computer games, really meeting them where they are at! In short, she was an absolute joy to have with us, and we would welcome her back anytime!

She welcomed us like family and made us feel at home right away. The room was amazing — honestly more like a hotel than a Workaway stay. The work was varied (pruning trees, digging out caña roots and lots of wood shredding), so no boredom at all. And the best bonus: fresh orange juice every single day from her own trees 🍊 Highly recommended!

Our first workaway and first time in South America and we couldn't have asked for a better starting point. Linda is a wonderfully kind host with a local community who support her. The guesthouse is beautiful and the views and sunsets are spectacular. The work in the morning is what you make of it, after completing the basics tasks of cat feeding and cleaning through you can pick a special project which can be anything that adds to it. We would recommend a trip here and will hopefully visit again one day.

Helene fue una excelente compañera, fanatica de Game of Thrones, compartimos largas horas de series, lastimosamente le toco un clima lluvioso y nublado todos los dias que no nos permitio realizar mayores actividades en el exterior pero disfrute mucho su visita, su comida, sus historias y su compañia. Helene te deseo lo mejor en esta etapa final de tu viaje, sigue disfrutando y que tengas una linda vida, gracias por dejarme ser parte de tu aventura.

I had a great experience volunteering at this English school. Abdelhadi is deeply committed to helping students of all ages learn and grow. When Abdelhadi is not around, Asmae, the receptionist, does an excellent job facilitating everything. She is friendly, well organized, and always ready to help. I also had the opportunity to meet the teachers, who are all highly motivated and strongly committed to helping people learn English. Their passion for teaching is truly incredible. I was able to participate in their English classes, and I learned a lot from the experience. The school is a local institution with a strong community feel, offering language learning opportunities for people of all ages, with a clear emphasis on quality teaching and personal attention. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking to learn English or volunteer in a friendly and supportive environment. Thank you so much for the opportunity. Cezar

Fui voluntaria durante 2 meses y fue increíble! Estoy muy agradecida con Fran y especialmente Pauli. Conocí personas muy lindas las cuales me las llevo en mi corazón. Pude conocer toda la isla gracias a la ubicación del hostal. Una experiencia que me llevo en mi corazón, gracias totales 🩷✨

Very friendly, responsible, quiet and uncomplicated wonderful friend. We hosted Noah for about 2 months, was the kind and polite guest ever, Talented and has many skills... Faster learner, He helped us with writing, fixed some issues on the computer... And did a lot of painting ( doors, Walls...) , and was very careful with work. And Also has patience with kids, our children had a lot of fun with him, playing and learning... Highly recommend this young and brave gentleman ... ( And a big artist in the future, he is very good with playing a few different music...(

Ahhh, what a wonderful experience I had! From the moment I arrived, I felt like part of a family. There were eight volunteers and we shared such a great energy and connection. In the evenings, we all ate together with the guests around one big table, which really gives meaning to this place. People share, connect, and truly understand one another. The goodbyes are heartfelt. I made real friends there, and running into them again later was such a genuine joy. The managers are kind, human, and clearly passionate about what they do, it truly shows. As for the work itself, I worked behind the bar. The work/free time ratio is very well balanced. The work keeps you busy, but you still have plenty of time to enjoy the place. Of course, you need to enjoy being around people and sharing, as it is a very social environment. The food is excellent and always different, and everything is accessible: the beach, yoga, surfing… it’s all there. I can’t wait to come back. It is absolutely worth it!

Bulent y Sedef son personas estupendas, muy interesantes, motivadas, con ganas de aprender, de colaborar y de compartir. Agradecemos mucho su paso por la finca y les consideramos amigos.

Aurora y Fabio son una pasada, realmente ya les sentimos parte de la Familia Furriola!!! Nos han ayudado muchísimo, siempre con una enorme sonrisa, con creatividad, entusiasmo y mucho amor.
