Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

René is a very kind, intelligent, and easygoing person. We had a wonderful time together and would gladly host him again at any time. He is extremely hardworking, works independently, and quickly understands what needs to be done. He is not afraid of any kind of work and always approaches tasks with a positive attitude. Phrases like “we can do this” were very typical for him and truly motivating. René stayed with us for almost three months, and during that time we accomplished a lot together. Beyond the work, we also became friends and genuinely enjoyed spending time together outside of projects. He was a great fit for us, and we can wholeheartedly recommend him. Anyone would be lucky to have René as a Workawayer.

My experience with Gregor and Sandra Li was exceptional. From the very beginning, they were generous, welcoming, calm, and genuinely supportive. We shared several meals together, which became an important part of the experience and a meaningful way to exchange culture and daily life. They explained everything carefully, step by step, making sure I fully understood and always moving at a comfortable pace. My tasks mainly involved working in the garden and, on some days, helping inside the house with repairs, cleaning, and occasional creative projects. The work was well balanced and clearly explained, and I always felt supported while carrying it out. they often were suggesting activities and ideas to explore in the villages around and in Frankfurt City. Conversations were a highlight of the experience. We exchanged cultural perspectives and discussed a wide range of topics, including German culture, philosophy, science, politics, and food. These discussions were consistently rich, informative, and intellectually stimulating. As I was also preparing for my German examinations, the environment was especially convenient. Both Gregor and Sandra were very patient and supportive, frequently speaking German with me to support my learning, and switching to English whenever something was unclear. This flexibility made the experience both comfortable and educational. The house itself is beautiful, with every detail clearly well considered. That care and attention are evident throughout the entire experience. I would strongly recommend this experience to anyone and would be very happy to meet Gregor and Sandra Li again in the future.

It is a nice hostel to volunteer at. You work alone at the reception and can ask questions via whatsapp or consult the manual. The owners are very kind :) You work for just 5 hours per day and have lots of time to explore the city. If you want a chill volunteering, this is the place to go!

Kristine was a truly outstanding volunteer at Mallín Colorado. She adapted quickly to our routines and showed great enthusiasm for every task, whether working with the horses, helping with trail maintenance, or preparing markers. Her love for the outdoors was evident, and she brought positive energy to every activity. She is reliable, hardworking, and very comfortable taking initiative. Kristine integrated seamlessly into our team, building strong relationships with the staff. Her cheerful attitude and willingness to contribute made her a pleasure to have with us, especially during the busy holiday season. She is independent, resourceful, and always respectful. I would gladly welcome Kristine back anytime, and highly recommend her to other hosts. She will bring dedication, warmth, and a genuine love for the work wherever she goes.

È stata un'esperienza unica. Non avrei potuto trovare persone migliori e un ambiente più bello e produttivo, lo consiglio a chiunque voglia fare una bellissima esperienza a contatto con la natura e con la serenità di essere in compagnia di persone speciali.

I had a great time at the school! I only worked here for a week, because the hollidays were about to start, but it was a really rewarding experience. The kids were amazing, open and so willing to learn. It was so lovely to listen and talk to them! The staff was very welcoming as well :) The school i went to was futher away, so they had arranged a taxi to bring me there everyday. Boris, the headmaster, showed me around the neighbourhood and taught me how to take the bus, very kind and very useful. Also, i lived in an apartment with other teachers and volunteers, which made it feel very homey. This school consist of hardworking and well-meaning professionals, passioante volunteers and lovely kids. I definately recommend volunteering here!

What a worker Bryn is! She was eager to learn and try anything, quick to pick up the full range of tasks we pursued and thorough in execution. She was also a pleasure to be around, positive, curious, appreciative, self-reliant and a good cook to boot. We were sad to see her go.

It was an absolute pleasure hosting Luis, Edwige and Lokiz for one and a half months. From the very beginning they were helpful, reliable, and flexible, and they consistently went above and beyond what was expected. Their main responsibility was looking after Dante my young, lively dog which they did with great care, attention, and genuine affection, giving me complete peace of mind. They were also a huge help with the olive harvest and happily took on a variety of other tasks as needed, always with a positive attitude and strong work ethic. They adapted easily into daily life here, communicated clearly, and could be trusted completely. We shared some lovey food, chats and laughs together and we miss their daily upbeat presence on the land. I’m very grateful for all their help and would highly recommend them to any host — they would be welcome back anytime. Fue un auténtico placer acoger a Luis, Edwige y Lokiz durante un mes y medio. Desde el primer momento fueron serviciales, responsables y flexibles, y constantemente hicieron mucho más de lo que se esperaba de ellos. Su principal responsabilidad era cuidar de Dante, mi perro joven y lleno de energía, y lo hicieron con muchísimo cariño, atención y afecto genuino, dándome total tranquilidad. También fueron de gran ayuda con la cosecha de aceitunas y asumieron encantados una gran variedad de otras tareas cuando fue necesario, siempre con una actitud positiva y una fuerte ética de trabajo. Se adaptaron con facilidad a la vida diaria aquí, se comunicaban con claridad y eran totalmente dignos de confianza. Compartimos comidas deliciosas, charlas y muchas risas, y echamos de menos su presencia diaria, siempre tan animada, en la finca. Estoy muy agradecido por toda su ayuda y los recomendaría sin dudarlo a cualquier anfitrión; serían bienvenidos de nuevo en cualquier momento.

Miri was an awesome volunteer! Always ready to help with anything we needed, fast, tidy and clean and so so sweet with our cats and dogs! Always greeted you with a smile and a joke, getting allong with the other volunteers, cooking meals and creating a homey environment at the shelter. Wish she couldn't have stayed longer and we will be more than happy to have her volunteer again one day!

¡Dionny, jefe de la montaña! ¡Una semana inmersos en la naturaleza y la cultura de un país verdaderamente hermoso! ¡Ayudamos a Dionny en el campo, charlamos, cocinamos y comimos! ¡Fuimos al mercado tradicional de Charuaz! ¡El tiempo pasó volando, y todo esto quedará grabado en nuestros corazones! ¡Gracias, gracias, gracias!

Estos chicos son lo maximo! Llegan siempre con sonrisas y con tan buena energía, siempre dispuestos a cualquier tarea, muy motivados, trabajadores y excelentes almas. Ilenia y Giacomo venían por 10 días a nuestra casa y se terminaron quedando casi un mes, realmente los sentimos como parte de nuestra familia, y nuestros bebes los adoraron! fue difícil despedir de ellos. Tuvimos muchas conversaciones interesantes, y muchos intereses en común, ya que tienen gran pasión por la naturaleza En el tiempo que estuvieron acá nos construyeron una mesa increíble para comer afuera en el verano (hecha de pallets reciclados!!) cocinaron para nosotros (las pizzas mas ricas de la vida), nos plantaron un huertito de tomates, nos hicieron un fogón Entre otras cosas, creo que si Ilenia y Giacomo se hubieran quedado mas tiempo, hubiésemos construido una aldea entera aquí en el terreno jeje! Los queremos mucho chicos, gracias por la energía que dejaron plantada acá, un abrazo grande para los dos, acá la casa siempre abierta para cuando quieran volver!

Techi is hands down the best host I’ve ever had. I was supposed to stay for just one week, and I ended up staying two😻 The house she’s building is right in the middle of the forest — truly magical. She has two wonderful kittens and a vegetable garden, and this is a place where you can genuinely relax and disconnect from the stress of the outside world. We spent New Year’s Eve together at her friends’ place, who were kind enough to lend me a bicycle so I could move around with complete independence. The workload was very manageable, and the days were naturally paced by birdsong and mate — a traditional drink Techi loves to share. I highly recommend this experience to anyone with a real desire to live close to nature (using a forest toilet and sleeping in a tent). Techi is an amazing person who will do everything possible to make you feel comfortable. She also has a lovely fireplace where you can chat and unwind in the evenings. The communication with her was always súper clear and easygoing. She lives 5 minutes by bicycle from a minimarket and she orders weekly whatever veggie or eggs you need directly from the producer. UN ABRAZO GIGANTE AMIGAAA🫶🏻💕🙏🏻

Mary is a very hardworking, respectful, and pleasant young woman. We truly enjoyed spending time with her. In fact, we initially agreed that she would stay with us for three weeks, and it ended up feeling far too short. We would have loved for her to stay longer, but there was no more work to do with us at that point. Still, I would always say that if you ever need help, you can fully trust Mary. As I’ve mentioned, she is an excellent worker, adapts easily to any situation, is always willing to help, very cooperative, and above all, a genuinely good person. Thank you, Mary, for sharing this time with us. It has been a pleasure to have you and to get to know you, and we hope to stay in touch with you. THANK YOU SO MUUCH!!!

We had a wonderful stay with Andrea and Cyrus and are very grateful for the time we spent with them. Harley worked on building a structure, while I helped with cooking, cleaning, and sewing projects. They have an impressive range of tools available and were very open-minded and encouraging of our ideas, which made working together both easy and enjoyable. We especially loved sharing lunches together, talking about our lives, exchanging stories, and really getting to know one another on a personal level. It felt welcoming and genuine from the start. We wish Andrea and Cyrus all the very best for the future and can’t wait to see their garden in summer when it’s in full bloom.

We have stayed with Yiannis for almost one month and it was a really great time for us! We were there over Christmas and New year and are very glad about that, it was lovely. We saw the big lake in Zacharo and the thermal springs, we had nice food together, visited ancient Olympia, sat by the warm fire and cuddled the dogs. We also met some other people during our stay, and had some nice game nights. We were able to do kind of whatever we want and build our own schedule and we also learned something about the Greek lifestyle, traditions and language which was really amazing! We would definitely recommend to visit this beautiful and open space. We are really grateful for this opportunity we had and would always love to come back!

From the moment I arrived in Bezzecca I was so kindly welcomed by Federica, Alberto and their lovely children. They immediately made me feel like I was a part of their family and were incredibly supportive and caring. This was my first workaway experience and I could not imagine a better family to spend almost two months with. I had the best time. Thank you.

Sorry for so late update,Þór is my first work away host, he is nice, sincere and patient, as well as his father, friends, workers. For work, when I arrived it was winter season, so I didn't get much work. Most of the time, we watched movies together, Þór could pinpoint any movie that you mentioned immediately, it's so unbelievable. And when he is not so busy, he would also drive me to nearby spots, so every day is interesting and impressive. After this, we're still friends and keep connecting 🍀

Je suis restée presque 2 mois chez Willy et Silna, et ce fut 2 mois très enrichissants et agréables! Willy et Silna sont très généreux, ils m’ont laissé emprunter leurs raquettes, leurs crampons, une salopette, ils sont allés me chercher des bottes car l’hiver approchait, et plus encore! À maintes reprises, ils ont proposé de m’apporter à un endroit lorsqu’ils y allaient. Aussi, Willy nous a fait découvrir, avec d’autres workaways, le bain froid en rivière. Quelle belle expérience, en plus que Willy nous a expliqué ses bienfaits et la manière de s’immerger dans l’eau! Ils sont également des personnes honnêtes, avec qui tu peux rire, flexible et ils te font sentir à l’aise! Silna va te le dire si le travail est bien/mal fait, donc tu sais toujours où te situer avec elle. Elle est très patiente et va te répéter la manière d’accomplir une tâche jusqu’à ce que ce soit claire pour toi. Nous avions également plusieurs discussions très intéressantes le soir sur pleins de sujets, j’ai adoré ces petits moments:) Il y a du chocolat à volonté et ils te font sentir très à l’aise de manger à ta faim/à ton plaisir, en plus que les repas sont délicieux!! Je m’ennuis des bons repas😋 Ils sont flexibles au niveau de ton horaire de travail, tant que tu fais tes 25h/semaine. Donc tu peux organiser ta semaine de la manière souhaitée, ce qui est bien si tu aimes aller en excursion à la montagne comme je le faisais:) Sur le plan du travail, j’étais amenée à enlever les ronces (octobre) et en novembre c’était toutes les tâches où ils avaient un besoin (ménage, repas, désherber, tondeuse, etc). Mes questions étaient toujours bien reçues, ils préfèrent que tu demandes en cas d’incertitude pour s’assurer de bien exécuter le travail. Bref, je recommande la famille de Willy, Silna et Océane. Des personnes chaleureuses et gentilles avec qui tu vas te sentir à la maison xx

I arrived looking for a good summer, some honest work, and new people to meet. What I found was a place that’s genuinely well run, deeply human, and surprisingly easy to feel at home in. Alex and Greg are not “hosts” in the distant sense of the word. They’re warm, funny, approachable, and very grounded people. Everything is explained clearly from the start, expectations are fair, and they genuinely respect your time. Work hours are transparent, days off are real days off, and there’s a constant check-in to make sure you’re comfortable and enjoying the experience—not just getting things done. The work itself is straightforward and easy to understand: light maintenance, gardening, helping around the guesthouse, interacting with guests. Nothing stressful, nothing confusing, and always done in a relaxed, respectful atmosphere. It’s the kind of work that fits naturally into your day without draining all your energy. One of the best parts was the people. The guests were friendly, open, and fun to be around, and the dynamic with other Workawayers felt more like a shared summer than a work arrangement. Conversations, laughs, and spontaneous moments happened naturally—no forced “community vibes,” just real ones. What really stands out is how human the whole experience feels. You’re treated as a person, not as free labor. There’s trust, flexibility, and a genuine effort to make sure you leave with good memories, not just completed tasks. If you’re looking for a Workaway where things are clear, fair, well-organized, and genuinely enjoyable—this is one of those places. I left grateful and with the feeling that I’d been part of something simple, well done, and very real.
