Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

My experience with Crystal, Tim and the kids was short but lovely. My hours were spent with the littlest one introducing her to the alphabets, play time, craft and games. Together, we ate a healthy lunch everyday. Great family unity and the children are respectful, independent and lovely. Crystal, thank you for accommodating me and I hope to see you possibly next year?

Tyler stayed with us for a little over 2 months and we overall had a great experience hosting him here. Tyler has a very calm, and warm energy about him, he was very reliable as a worker, observed house rules and brought a steady presence to our community. We would highly recommend Tyler to any future workaway hosts. During his time here he helped us on many different projects, including forestry, pile burning, daily chores, cooking and other various tasks; he excelled at all of them. It was nice to share a love of the environment with him and shared interests about fire ecology and land stewardship. We wish Tyler all the best in his travels and he is welcome back anytime.

Francesco is a very warm and welcoming person and his place is peaceful and quiet. I was only there for a couple of days but he welcomed me as if I'd be living with him for a long time. I slept like a baby in a comfortable bed and dark room and we had dinner together every evening which I didn't expect but I was very happy about trying out new things and having talks with him. a big plus is the cuddlebug Orzo (his dog) and the cats that are around and like to be cuddled! I helped Francesco to prepare the area for a jacuzzi and painted the walls there. He was also very understanding when I didn't feel quite alright. So all in all a lovely experience and I hope to see him again in the future! :))

Such an incredible experience. Seriously, being in this space felt like finding a treasure in the middle of the city. Every day was very special experience for me. Everyone made me feel like part of the family. They are all so kind, generous, and funny, and it was very easy to build a good relationship and communicate with each other. Even though the language could have seemed like a barrier, it really wasn’t. Nothing that Google Translate couldn’t solve! Communication was always clear and smooth. The tasks were simple and clear, mainly keeping the house clean and playing with the kids, who are truly adorable. And I also have to say, the food they prepared was absolutely delicious! And thank u Figen for let me help you to prepare some meals with you, was so special. Thank u Ossman and Figen for opening the doors of your home, for sharing your culture in everyday life, and for making me feel part of it. I truly hope to see you all again. I'll always remember you and miss you very much. Çok teşekkür ederim!

Andrii? Calm, smart, positive, hardworking and balanced in everything. He had his first workaway experience with us, and it seemed to us that he was a long-time experienced workaway. He loves nature and enjoys natural and simple things. Thanks Adrii!

Thank you so much, Giulia, for your beautiful words. You truly became part of our home in every meaning of that word! All you did brought so much heart, energy, and light into our lives. Even today, you continue to support us, and that means the world. You are one of those volunteers who remind us why we do this work and give us the motivation to keep going. We hope to welcome you back very soon , you will always have a home here ❤️

I had an absolutely wonderful three-week stay with this amazing family, and honestly, my experience couldn’t have been better! From the very beginning, I felt welcomed and comfortable. Their home is tidy and cozy, the atmosphere is joyful, and the host is incredibly easygoing and kind. Everything was exactly as we had agreed. Emilia was always ready to help with anything I needed and was truly caring, supportive, and thoughtful throughout my stay. I really appreciated how open and communicative she was. Due to unexpected work commitments, I had to finish my stay one and a half weeks earlier than planned, and the whole family was so understanding and supportive about it. I’m very grateful for their kindness and flexibility. I would wholeheartedly recommend staying with them — it was a beautiful experience that I’ll always remember!

What a joy it has been to host Elsa and Julianne. These intelligent, diligent and talented young women have added real value to my property. They willingly helped with gardening, mulching, hedge trimming, composting, harvesting etc. Elsa is an excellent cook and made many delicious meals- a great help to me at a very busy time. They were also good company and very respectful around my home. Highly recommend!

Janne & Lorenz spent 2 winter weeks in our place, just as agreed earlier. They worked well, sometimes independently, and showed both responsibility and decent skills for their age, as well as willingness to learn new things. They were able to help with heavy work, crafts, dog care, and house chores. We got to know each other better during work and the free time, which they also used to explore the area better. Both guys are intelligent, respectful, independent, good with animals, and I can confidently recommend them to you as well.

Máté is a fine fellow, calm and independent, yet cheerful, communicative, and helpful to the team. We highly recommend him! Always welcome back as well! ☀️ 🏝️ ⛵

Dear future volunteers, We only spend a week in this volunteering, but it was more than enough to feel fully part of this wonderful family. We would have been glad to stay more time. This is why, we strongly recommend you to stay at least two weeks to be able to enjoy fully this unforgettable experience. The animals of the family (some dogs and one cat) are really kind and cute. Sol an Sibelle are two young pupies that were abandonned, but rescued by the finca. They both are really cute and followed us everywhere, even if we told them to stay at the finca, they are quite the teaser ;) Regarding the details, as said in previous feedback : the work is more than fair, the place is nice and the family is great ! It's true that there are mosquitoes, but if you bring a mosquito repellent, it will be fine no worry. (The beds have mosquito nets). Queridos Luis, Olivier, Nancy y Oscar, gracias por esta experiencia maravillosa y auténtica! Hemos aprendido mucho de vosotros sobre el cacao, la cultura colombiana y el español. Siempre recordaremos nuestras buenas conversaciones, las muchas risas y bromas, y las comidas compartidas y amigables. Gracias de nuevo por todo 🫶 Léa y Paul

I had a wonderful time with Adelheid and Martin. They care about you and what you want to do on your time off I walked their lovely dog Lotta, cleaned, did gardening work, cooked and helped organize cupboards. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to spend time in the Bavarian county side. You need to be able to work on your own part of the time. They are happy to show you how to do something.

Maja and Felix were amazing. They showed great initiative in helping with various assignments and were always smiling. Such kind, genuine souls and so much fun to be around. They’re great cooks with a wonderful sense of humor. Thank you for your presence, and safe travels home! ❤️🙏

I had a wonderful time at the garden! The garden is very peaceful with a yoga terasse and hammocks to chill in. We cooked so much nice food with ingredients from the local market together with the other volunteers. Suha and Millie are really welcoming and kind hosts, I am thankful to have met them. We went rock climbing which was amazing and swimming and hiking, its a really nice area to explore and we had a lot of opportunities to do so. We also did some garden work. Can only recommend thank you for the great time!

Danke für deine Unterstützung :) komm gerne nochmal vorbei!

We loved our stay at Kwan’s. The house is very comfortable, the garden and surroundings are beautiful, and the work is structured and well explained. During our stay there, we worked three hours in the morning watering and building a driveway and two hours in the afternoon picking up leaves for compost, helping out in his carpentry workshop and general house maintenance. There is plenty of downtime and relaxation. Kwan goes out of his way to show you interesting sights in the region and you’ll have great food at local markets and restaurants you’d never find by yourself (if you’re lucky you may even get pizza from his wood fire oven). He’s respectful, interesting, and passionate about his work. He’s also invested in an eco garden project at a local school - it was very fun helping out. Everything at Kwan’s is done thoughtfully and with good intention. It was a fabulous introduction to Thailand and we left Kwan’s with only good memories!

La nostra esperienza con Nine è stata perfetta. Nine ha una pazienza infinita con Andrea e Margherita, è sempre pronta a giocare con loro e a preparare deliziosi pranzetti francesi!!! Le sue crepes sono fantastiche!!! È diventata subito parte della famiglia. Grazie Nine speriamo tornerai da noi!!!

It was a real pleasure hosting you! You were responsible, friendly, and always willing to help with a positive attitude. You completed your tasks efficiently and got along well with everyone. We truly appreciated your contribution and would happily host you again. Highly recommended!

I stayed with Sigrun for a month and had a wonderful experience. Sigrun is a lovely and kind person. Always smiling and attentive, even when she wasn't there because she works in Norway. I spent a week with her and her son, and during that week I was able to visit the castles in the region with her and eat delicious salmon at a restaurant. Her son cooked us traditional and very tasty dishes. Sigrun is learning French, and in the mornings we played French games so I could help her learn. In return, she was very understanding about my level of English, which is still a work in progress. As for the work, there were two of us volunteering, and we repainted the doors on the first floor and also painted an entire bedroom. As for the location, the house is well situated as it's very well served by buses, making it easy to visit many nearby towns like Lund, Malmö, Ystad, and even Helsingborg. Thanks for everything, Sigrun! 😁

Yolanda is very young, but incredibly mature and reliable. She started working early every day and was always the last one left in the field. In addition to that, she also helped prepare food for most meals. The house was clean and tidy the whole time she was here, which made it comfortable to leave the farm in her hands for a week! Yolanda has magic hands; everything she planted grew amazingly well. I can clearly see that she put her heart and energy into her assigned tasks, especially in the kitchen garden. Yolanda helped me with watering, weeding, germinating, transplanting seeds, collecting leaves, mulching, composting, digging, and many more tasks. However, don’t let her near your lemon tree! ;P
