Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

We were delighted to have Charlie as a volunteer, and only sorry that she couldn't be with us for more than one week. The highlight of the week was her presentation to the children about her amazing travels to over 70 countries.

Jodi and everyone I met on the island made you feel at home from minute one! I have a lot of workaway experience but I was seriously in danger of getting to cozy there, I felt I was a family member and loved everyone genuinely! I can recommend this workaway for anyone who loves gardening and dogs, it’s a nice garden to look after and not too hard. You can also find your projects a bit and part of the job is to play with Mika (the dog) who loves chasing balls on the beach! We went on a little swimming trip on the boat, to the Reptile Park learning all about snakes and spiders and loved ending the day with a card game or binge watching. The island is peaceful and the perfect start or end to your visit to Sydney. I had jet lag the first days but it was much better than being in the city. The accommodation is cozy, you have your separate apartment and shower. But I liked to cook and have dinner together (and chocolate!) The islanders are truly amazing See you again!! Love you Jodi Mika ava and zeph All the best <33

Letizia is warm and kind person. We had amazing time together! She is really dutiful and came along with our dogs really well. My son loved to play with her. I hope our paths will cross again and meanwhile I hope you amazing adventures!

Jannik is a great man. He is super friendly and a cool guy. He helped us for a month. He has good communication with my staff and guests all the time. He is very energetic. He helped us chop wood, cut the trees and carried some heavy stuff. Mostly he took care of the hostel for a few hours a day. He welcomed the guests, helped them with their questions. He introduced them to the facilities in the hostel. I appreciate what he did in the hostel. He is always welcome to my hostel.

Our stay at Carlos's place was very nice. Carlos is a very wise and open minded person. He cooked for us amazing food. He was always happy to talk and spend time together (and play Wizard ;D). He introduced us to his friends, family and best spots in town. We stayed for 2 weeks and helped to renovate the house (mainly painting). The location is 15min walking to the beach. There is a place to surf 50min driving from his place. We had the chance to learn a lot about Indian and Goan culture. Thank you Carlos for your hospitality and good energy. We hope to see you again in Europe.

Camila è stata dolcissima con i bambini, ha saputo prendersi cura di loro, farli giocare, preparare loro la cena... Averla con noi in famiglia è stata una magnifica esperienza, sempre disponibile, educata, discreta. Grazie di tutto Camila, speriamo di rivederti presto!!!!

Naomi and Charly were above average in everything they did while here. They were very pleasant to have around and both extremely competent and committed. They cleaned up before departing and were thoughtful and considerate in every way. These two compassionate people deserve each other. It would be a pleasure to have them return at any time. We miss them already. And wish them well on their travels.

Oh my gosh, Bernadette & Verena were absolutely wonderful volunteers. They fit right in, had a great work ethic, never complained (even about the dirty jobs!), learned quickly, and were really reliable. They were so good that we were able to leave them in sole charge of our animal sanctuary while we went away for a week. And in fact, we've even asked them to come back again! I highly recommend them .

My stay with Laura, Felipe and the kids was amazing. They were very welcoming and let me be a part of everything that was going on of activities. I felt like a part of their family even though I was only there for two weeks - that says a lot. The kids were so open and amazing but also learnt me a lot about setting boundaries. I loved all the family-style barbecues we had and I will definetly miss the laid-back, event though tough, boat-community lifestyle. All in all a very giving experience;)

Lucy being our first Aussie volunteer, and hosting her was truly a joy. We felt very lucky to have her. She is a very warm, positive, and energetic person. She communicated wonderfully both with us and the other volunteers, bringing a beautiful energy to the whole place. She carried out gardening, housekeeping, and all assigned tasks with great responsibility and care. Thanks to her hardworking and helpful nature, she quickly became an important part of the team. We were genuinely sad to see her leave. We were very happy to have her with us, and our door is always open if she ever wants to come back. Thank you for everything, Lucy 🌿

We couldn't have wished for a better start of the new WorkAway season. Sophie was a great match for us as a family - she fitted in perfectly from the first moment on. And for the jobs we needed help with. She helped us transform the land... With joy she cleared big patches of brambles. Taking them by the root. To dig 60 holes afterwards for planting fruittrees. To then put protective fencing around. And she picked up the skill of woodworking with ease. This resulting in doors for our greenhouse. Our household Sophie understood easily. Which was great. We enjoyed some wellprepared dishes and cakes. Cleaning up resulting in deep conversations. Give her a guitar and Sophie will light up the space with her beautifull voice. Long story short. If Sophie knocks on your door. Don't even think twice. You'll be finding a gifted, lighthearted, involved and motivated team-/ familymember. Thanks Sophie. Enjoy your journey

Alek stayed with me for three weeks, and it was an amazing experience. We did a lot of things: we worked on the yard and painted the garden walls, which turned out beautifully. Alek also helped me by taking photos for a lamp sales project, as well as shooting photos and video for my music project. We had a great time filming in nature and around the town. We also had meaningful conversations about our cultures and shared the music we each create. I highly recommend Alek—he’s calm, easygoing, and always has a positive attitude! Big hug and thanks, Alek!

Thank you for staying with us🙏 Anaelle is a kind, caring, easygoing and very hard working girl.

I spent around three weeks here and enjoyed every minute of it. At the school, you’re really able to connect with the students and be creative with the lessons you teach. The food is delicious, both from the school and the home-cooked meals at the accommodation (especially William’s ugali). On the weekends, there are plenty of activities to explore the beauty of Kenya. On top of everything, everyone is incredibly kind and welcoming, regardless of where you are from or your teaching experience. If you’re thinking about volunteering, this is your sign to go!

David is an excellent host—accommodating, welcoming, and very knowledgeable! The work was enjoyable and varied: pickaxing and prying up small trees, shoveling overgrown grass and mud, cutting branches, and more. Some tasks might need a bit of labor (as least for me as a girl), but in a fun, rewarding way—it felt like a great (just a right amount) workout every day while you still have more than half a day left to explore the island! I also had an amazing roommate, which made the living experience even better. During my stay, I learned a lot about landscaping, tools, and the local environment from David. Overall, it was a unique and memorable experience I’ll always appreciate. I’d love to come back in the future if I get the chance!

Gustavo est un garçon très sympathique et intéressant, avec des convictions profondes et un amour pour son environnement et son projet ! il est aussi très accueillant et j'ai beaucoup aimé y rester 1 semaine ! merci beaucoup de m'avoir accueilli. j'ai appris beaucoup en très peu de temps. si vous avez l'occasion de passer à Saint Rafael, vous devez rencontrer Gustavo ! milles mercis et à un jour peut être !

Hey! Thank you so much for your kind message - I really appreciate it It was a pleasure having you here, and I'm glad you enjoyed your time and felt comfortable. You brought a great energy and were super easy to host. You're always welcome back anytime! Enjoy the rest of your travels 😊 Petros

I spent two weeks at this Workaway and it was honestly one of the best experiences of my travels. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed and included. Even though this was a newer Workaway profile, the host already had a lot of experience hosting volunteers before, and it really showed. Everything was well organized, expectations were clear, and I felt comfortable straight away. The work was enjoyable and varied, and always fair. It never felt overwhelming, and there was a great balance between helping out and having time to relax or explore the area. I also learned a lot during my stay, both practically and culturally, which made the experience even more rewarding. What made this place truly special was the atmosphere. There was a real sense of community, and I really appreciated the time spent together — whether working, sharing meals, or just having conversations. It felt much more like being part of a small family than just volunteering. I left with great memories and I’m really grateful for the experience. I would 100% recommend this Workaway to anyone looking for a genuine, well-organized and welcoming place. Thank you again for everything!

We loved having Eigil & Elisa stay with us they were exceptional volunteers and a real asset to our farm. From the outset, they showed maturity, intelligence and a strong work ethic, and quickly earned our trust. Over their stay, they took on significant responsibility. I was able to explain the desired outcome and leave them to deliver the work independently, which they did to a very high standard. They were exceptional at taking care of our animals, especially the baby animals. Beyond the work, they were wonderful company, thoughtful& easy-going, contributed positively to the group dynamic and were appreciated by everyone around them. We would welcome them back without hesitation. If you have the opportunity to host them, grab it with both hands.

Lorenzo stayed for two months with us and we had a great time, he really helped me a lot thank you so much for that. We went out to many places and cooked Italian food 😁. Lorenzo is very respectful, responsible, and super reliable. I highly recommend working with him. We still keep in touch and will :)
