Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

Fuka stayed with us during a very rainy period, so unfortunately we couldn’t work in the garden as planned. However, she kindly helped us with tasks around the house. She was friendly, respectful, and easy to host. We also really enjoyed the Japanese meal she cooked for us. Thank you for your help and nice company. We wish you all the best!

Estoy muy agradecida por mi experiencia. Durante mis tres semanas, aprendí mucho sobre bioconstrucción, permacultura, y cultura colombiana. Anna y Arnold son personas muy lindas con buenas vibras, mucha experiencia, sabiduría, y paciencia para enseñar y compartir. Eso proyecto me da esperanza que podemos tener un relación mejor con la naturaleza. Recomendaría ese experiencia a todos y espero volver un día. Anna y Arnold, muchas muchas gracias por todo. Abrazos.

Gedurende twee weken verbleven we als workaway-koppel bij Henk en Yael, we kijkenterug op een bijzonder waardevolle en verrijkende ervaring. Vanaf onze aankomst werden we hartelijk ontvangen en voelden we ons beiden onmiddelijk welkom in hun gastvrije Finca...Tijdens ons verblijf zorgden de verscheidenheid aan taken voor een aangename dynamiek. Het gaf ons de kans om op een zinvolle manier mee te werken. Daarnaast werden we mee uitgenodigd deel te nemen aan Yael haar aanschuiftafel met biezondere copieuse kookskills...deze leerrijke en aangename ontmoetingen en uitwisseling hebben ons verblijf in bijzondere mate verfiept en verrijkt. Henk bood ons vriendelijk aan om ons tijdens bepaalde wandelexcursie's op te halen, een attent en gewaardeerd gebaar. Ook waren fietsen ter beschikking met helm voorzien, om verder zelfstandig de omgeving te verkennen. De wekelijkse locale marktjes in de nabije omgeving zijn zonder meer een authentieke beleving, Spanjaarden maken gretig gebruik van hun stembanden. Hoewel we ons verblijf nog konden verlengen, hebben onvoorziene stormomstandigheden ons verblijf jammer genoeg verkort. We bewaren warme herinneringen aan deze periode ( winter) en kunnen een workaway verblijf bij Henk en Yael van harte aanbevelen. Paul en Romy.

These were such amazing wonderful people, we absolutely LOVED meeting Hidde and Claire. Both were enthusiastic, skilled, able and so helpful Thank you for choosing this place Highly recommend these very lovely people

What a lovely pair of Workawayers these two are. They ripped into the weeding/gardening with a gusto! They also kept our breadmaker busy. Andria is a fab hand at cooking & we were treated to some of her delicacies.

We absolutely loved having Janine with us for two weeks on our farm. She was a really great help with all of the work that we did, harvesting tomatoes, painting a house, gardening and so much more. She also helped a lot in our house with meal prep and washing dishes. We never needed to ask her to help, she was always proactive and ready to jump in and help where needed. She always took our dogs with her on her walks which they absolutely loved! She looked out for them and always made sure they all made their way home, which we really appreciated. Janine was really easy going and always in a great mood and easy to get along with. We had many lovely and engaging conversations; it was sometimes hard to end conversations and continue with work as we talked about so many interesting topics. Janine fit in amazingly with our farm, dogs, our way of life. We will remember fondly her time with us and hope that some day she will be back or that we meet up in some other part of the world somewhere in the future.

Qué familia tan maravillosa!!! Son personas muy amables, cariñosas y generosas, y los niños son muy divertidos:) Pasé casi un mes con ellos en diciembre de 2024 y tuve una experiencia increíble. En ese momento, lo que necesita más era cocinar y limpiar en la casa. El horario fue claro y hay mucho tiempo para disfrutar de la vida alrededor. Además, tienen una comunidad muy linda. Muy buen alojamiento. Me sentí muy bienvenida desde el primer día y guardo recuerdos hermosos del tiempo juntos. Los recomiendo mucho mucho. Yo también extraño 🤍

We spent 3 weeks volunteering on Itamaraca. We really enjoyed it - Jackie and Mark are a lovely couple and really went above and beyond to welcome us and help us with anything we needed. They gave us a tour of the island when we first arrived and gave us a lot of useful recommendations. The apartment is great, right on the beach with a pool. Perfect for a break from travelling. We spent our mornings doing a few hours of work - airing out apartments, and then either routine cleaning of some of the apartments or odd jobs like cleaning windows and painting doors. And then our afternoons were spent chilling by the pool, swimming in the sea, reading and some exploring of the island. We also got to look after their dog Bronson one weekend which was a pleasure.

Tara show her concentration in observing before to talk or react to panorama's. She take the time and not the phone to make a stupid picture. Really nice person, mature and proactive. Thank you to be an exquisite guest.

I loved every moment here, the beaches are spectacular and the locals are special people I will remember forever. Fantastic team, hugs to everyone❤️

We loved having Jingman stay with us, she is very attentive and the first one up to get stuck in to daily tasks with attention to detail. . We loved that Jingman made our cats a priority both when we were home and away.. Any Communication difficulty was easily overcome with a translator app as she was keen to learn new words and practiced English. We were very glad to give Jingman an opportunity in Newcastle and seeing her come back after her day out with excited smile and joy, and we loved sharing the waterways with her. Steven didn’t hesitate to go looking for her make sure she got the right train to make her journey easier. Team work makes the dream work right ? ,! He is my better half for sure. The girls enjoyed painting together, Jingman and the team made good use of the extra free time we often give finishing earlier than expected.. on this Occassion shared a room and was a thoughtful room mate. , just delightful all round , fitting in seamlessly from day one. We wish her many more adventures. And equally warm connections.

We had very good times at Els's place. She gave us good travel information, took good care of us and we have enjoyed our accommodation a lot. A beautiful little lodge, with outside kitchen and semi outside bathroom. We've done several tasks in the garden and the house. After that we had many nice walks in the river and up the mountains. We also enjoyed our trip to the sea a lot. It is a remote place where you can enjoy nature a lot. Definitely a good place to support and hear all the nice stories and travel info Els has to share. Thank you for having us and many many good wishes from us.

The lovely, wonderful, one-and-only Shushila let me stay with her for five weeks while I had the opportunity to do some work for a local waka ama maker. She was actually gone for the middle weeks visiting a friend so I essentially house-sat for her, which included weeding invasives from the backyard bush, and looking after her three goats and six chickens. Shushila has a beautiful property overlooking the ocean, and she took me swimming my first day (side note: she is so strong! I hope to be like that when I grow up!) at one of the many beautiful beaches nearby. Before she left, she also gave me many suggestions of walks in the area (there are many!) and I was able to enjoy my time in this area of Aotearoa very much. For a place to stay, delicious food, good conversation, and an introduction to new goat and chicken friends, thank you so much, Shushila. <3

This place was such an unexpected surprise for me. The area is so quiet, I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy it but it ended up being such a great reset for me. The work is really relaxed, one of the easiest volunteering I've ever done in my life. A bed and three meals a day in exchange for socialing with the guests (welcoming guests, volleyball, game nights, etc.) I taught yoga on the side which was also a really nice experience for me, to be able to hone in on my teaching. It is a super tranquil place where the staff is super friendly and will speak to you in Spanish if you'd like to practice. There's not much else to do but to read a book, go for a walk, go for a swim and relax your nervous system. Thank you Matteo and Briana, as well as the rest of the staff for making this one of the best volunteering experiences I've had in a while.

Sandrine and Charly have cozy home with dogs and cats in peaceful and beautiful countryside. It was comfortable to stay with their very nice family. I did help with the gardening, mostly trim the trees and rake the leaves.

We had a really special time with Pavel. We were able to help with many different and interesting projects and learned a lot. Our working schedule was really free but the instructions were always clear so it was perfect. Sometimes we worked independent and other times pavel joined us to help out (always with a smile on his face while working). In general we felt really welcome and we had everything we needed to feel comfortable. We spent some very pleasent evenings together and got along great with everyone and the lovely dogs. Although we sadly didn’t get to meet saskia we are sure that it could only be even better with her. We would recommend this place if you are able to do physical labour and have no problem with being in the beautiful but a bit lonely countryside.

It was great to have Pablo with us. We helped us a lot with his work and all the exchange about essencial oil knowlegde. Come back any time you want :)

It was a truly special experience meeting your family. It's a beautiful place and a wonderful community. Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful yurt. I hope the vegetables will grow in your beautiful garden. Thank you for showing me your family's holiday traditions, the food, dancing, and singing. I will remember you for a long time and I hope I have the opportunity to meet you again.

We had such a wonderful experience hosting Anouk at our dog rescue. She was truly a pleasure to have as part of our team. From the very beginning, she was easygoing, kind, and genuinely caring—not only toward us, but especially toward the animals and the community. She is hardworking and never hesitated to step in wherever help was needed. Whether it was daily cleaning tasks, feeding, walking, or spending extra time comforting sick puppies, she approached everything with patience, compassion, and dedication. Her calm and gentle nature made a noticeable difference, particularly with the more sensitive or shy animals. She took initiative and was easily able to work independently in caring for the animals and projects on the house. Anouk has truly been a valuable part of our rescue. We are very grateful for the time she spent with us, we hope she returns here again, and would absolutely recommend her to any future host. She would be an asset to any project she joins.
