Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

J'ai passé une très belle semaine hors du temps, au côté de Barbara, Daniel et Amra, une adorable famille Suisse-Allemande-Hongroise au fin fond des bois Franc-Comtois. Leur grande ferme du Haut-Doubs est splendide avec les champs et la forêt autour. Un cheval et un poney d'une voisine viennent parfois y manger l'herbe juste à côté. Il y a aussi des poules à la retraite et 3 chats qui font leur vie. Je logeais dans la mezzanine en haut du salon-cuisine où un joli poêle à bois chauffe la pièce. C'était très agréable. Barbara et Daniel logent plutôt dans leur roulotte cocooning, à côté de la ferme. Ils étaient toujours très attentifs à ce que je sois confortable tout en respectant l'indépendance de chacun. J'emmenais leur fille Amra à l'école le matin, allait parfois la rechercher et j'ai pu aider à éclaircir les fraises avec Daniel. On a aussi fait une grande balade avec Barbara dans le beau village de Belleherbe et c'était vraiment très cool. Pendant mon séjour j'ai adoré nos discussions, vivre dans cette ancienne maison très naturelle, gratouiller le jardin comme un instant méditatif et m'amuser avec la magique Amra ! Nous gardons contact, j'aurai plaisir à revenir les voir. Je vous recommande vraiment ce workaway !

Emanuel is respectful, reliable, and serious. He lovingly cared for my dog ​​and cats, did various jobs in the garden, and fixed many things around the house. Always available to help in any area. He stayed in my house alone for about a month, you can trust him.

We spent two weeks with Peter and his family. We highly recommend this Work Away experience and we will keep a great memory of our stay in Lak Sao. Peter will make everything for you to feel welcome and at ease in his house. We shared lunch and diner with the family (breakfast not included). Peter's wife, Ha, was cooking for everyone and she is an excellent cook. Get ready however to eat rice and noodles a lot, if you are rice lovers like us, you should be fine. We had to do the dishes, which seemed pretty fair as we didn't have to cook. We were asked to be ready at 3:15 pm to install the class (sweep and take down the benches). Classes were from 4:30 to 5:30 pm and then from 6:30 to 8:00 pm every day of the week. We took in charge the whole class, but we had assistants helping us translate and make sure everything went smoothly. Peter gave us a specific lesson or a little text to work on and then we were very autonomous on how to teach, which allowed us to be very creative in our teaching. Peter was however always here to help if necessary and he always made his best for us to feel comfortable in the class. Peter's kids and the students were lovely, we had a great connection with them, they were all curious and willing to learn. We slept in a room with a double bed, a mosquito net, a table and 2 chairs. We really loved our stay there and anyone who crosses the path of this wonderful project and family is lucky! Thank you again Peter for everything and long live your school!!!

Thank you to the family for inviting me to their beautiful home. I had my own private room and bathroom. They made me feel right at home. Plus, I had every morning free to enjoy myself, and in the afternoon I had a delicious homemade lunch with the whole family. Always good, and you really feel at home. The children are adorable. I could spend a lot of time with them, playing with them, going to football matches, all while speaking English. I stayed longer for that reason. Keep in mind that you need to be fairly independent and not too organized, as the family lives in the moment. If you're looking for a place with structure, this might be a problem, but if you like being spontaneous without much communication and are comfortable with that, you'll have a wonderful time and you'll definitely come back.

Sandra is a super workawayer! A 5🌟 guest and person all round. We welcomed Sandra into our home and she was incredible. She's not just a wonderful woman but an extremely hard worker. She helped enormously in our gardens and with our vines. Even putting her hand to work on some painting inside the house too. She used her initiative and was constantly proactive. We very much enjoyed our conversations with her and time together. My children took to Sandra and really miss her as do we. Sandra is respectful, clean and tidy and she would be welcome back anytime. I'd highly recommend her for workaway. Thank you Sandra and please come back and visit!

We had the best week with Barbara and Jude! the property is absolutely beautiful, a real paradise full of wildlife, adorable wallabies and colourful birds. Barb and Jude are both incredibly welcoming and lovely, and Barb really helped us out when we needed it. We felt at home straight away. The main tasks involved gardening like mowing and clearing grass/ weeds, which we really enjoyed. Workawayers have a very comfortable room with everything you need (including a balcony!) which is the perfect way to unwind after the day. Thanks so much! :)

I stayed at Kai's beautiful guest house for two weeks during the March period. I was involved in several activities: planting, stone wall making, painting a beautiful vintage furniture, making a mosaic, collecting woods, sanding, weeding and taking basic care of the hens and sheeps. I really enjoyed the variety of the tasks and I learned a lot of things during these days. Kai was always ready to support and guide with the next steps of each task. He has a lot of knowledge and he was always willing to share it and explain the reasons why he followes specific techniques/steps in his work. Kai and Lea are very kind, reliable and thoughtful. They made sure that we feel comfortable and that we enjoy our stay there. The guest house was very comfortable and cozy. Kai and Lea are great cooks and we were having extremely delicious food every single day. The house is located between the mountains with one of the most stunning views I have ever seen! I was also positively superprised to see how many beautiful places there are to visit around the area! There are plenty of cute towns, forests, mountains, rivers, lakes and the sea. To explore the area is better to have your own transport, as the buses are very few during the day. However, you can still visit some towns and rivers by bus or even by walk! In the guest house there is a big living room where you can enjoy your time with other volunteers and a big garden with a hammock. There are also board games, badminton rackets and a huge collection of interesting books. I am so grateful I had the chance to visit Kai and Lea. Big thanks to both of you for the hospitality, trust and kindness. I hope that one day I will visit again!

Kristína and Lukáš are a great couple, punctual, diligent and keen to get whatever task you give them done to the best of their abilities. There are a total pleasure to have around and one of the best couples we have hosted. They have some life experience in a work environment which helps . I would highly recommend this great couple.

It was a pleasure to host Ralph. Thanks for company, and the large amount of work in autonomy, cleaning our little forest, painting the doors and scales perfectly, cleaning our summer terrasse full.of leaves, with precision, taking some nice initiatives . I had pleasure to see our very old house improved . Bon voyage Ralph! Et merci!

J'ai passé trois semaines splendides chez Martine et Jean (du 9 mars au 1er avril) dans le sud de l'Alsace. C'était, tout simplement, une expérience parfaite! ​Martine est une hôtesse très accueillante, attentionnée et une excellente communicatrice. Je me permets de l'appeler une "reine du jardinage", mais c'est aussi une personne qui aime la nature, l'art et la mode — elle a le sens du style et la conscience climatique en même temps. ​Jean est un vrai connaisseur dans plusieurs domaines et il n'hésite pas à partager son savoir. Si vous avez la chance d'être présent un jour où il cuisine, c'est une véritable journée gastronomique. ​La maison est mignonne mais grande, et il y a plein de choses intéressantes à faire. L'ambiance est très calme et amicale. Le son de la cloche chante tout le temps avec les oiseaux — rien de mieux. ​J'ai beaucoup aimé discuter avec mes hôtes et en savoir plus sur l'Alsace. En gros, j'ai passé de très bons moments chez Martine et Jean. Je suis très reconnaissant pour leur hospitalité et leur gentillesse. ​Merci encore pour tout ! ​Je vous souhaite une Happy Easter et un printemps et un été très amusants et joyeux.

Lea was part of our family for just over two weeks in March 2026, and it was a true pleasure having her among us. Her calm and patient nature was invaluable to our family; she always completed requests with diligence and determination. She experimented new games to practice English with the girls, she helped with homework, and she was always available and friendly. She happily eats any food and shared meals with our family. The cultural exchange was excellent, thanks also to her excellent knowledge of Italian, which she understands and speaks perfectly. We hope to see her again soon and will cherish her friendship as a precious treasure.

Amazing helper, she know what to do, when to do it, we where very impressed and want to finish the task at hand no matter what.

as my first workaway experience, it was incredible. the attention, cure, and selfless dedication of all the staff is mindblowing! everyone knows in detail the needs and personality of every single cat and dog, and so much love is given to the animals 💕 the work is hard, especially if there are few volunteers only, but the cats are wonderful and it is worth it. the place is a bit remote so if you're unlucky and the weather is not the best, it might be difficult to explore surroundings, but managers are incredibly organized and can help with drop offs to the train station and metro. finally, the staff are all wonderful people, kind and patient, and I felt incredibly welcomed. I also ended up meeting my cat soulmate and I adopted her, which made the experience even more unforgettable✨ I will go back if I have the chance.

Wonderful couple, super helpful with handy work and cooking. Love to have then come back.

There is nothing I can write here that can truly live up to the amazing experience I had here. I spent a bit over 2 months at school, and felt so welcome and at home from the moment I arrived. Happy days of teaching across all grades, and fun evenings and weekend adventures with the boarders went by so quickly. The kids are just amazing, I already miss them so much. I can honestly say that the bonds and memories we created together will stay with me forever. I'm also very happy that the first month of my stay coincided with Tracey's visit, which gave me a lot of insight about the history and inner workings of the school. Job and Tracey are such kind-hearted, generous people, and together they make a great team, always ensuring the well-being of all the pupils. It was truly a pleasure to share my time with everyone. Asante sana, and see you again in a few months <3

Ina and Julian are two very nice souls who spent two week with us. They are super quiet and relaxed people. They helped out with all sorts of this, mostly creating the new chicken house. The are easygoing and it is nice to talk to them.

thanks you to Borche for this immersive week. after a long travel in our camping car, we felt almost at home beside the fire. Even if naturel perspective are in mutation, we found somethink to do in this place where we share the idea that a another world is possible. Thanks you for everything an your warm welcome.

It is my second time coming back here, and it is for a reason, the family is so kind, the other volunteers are amazing and the job feels very meaningful. Thank you so much Ricky and family, I hope to see you in the future again. Lots of love It feels like home❤️

Katie and Ian were wonderful hosts. They both had great attitudes and expectations were communicated clearly. We were able to grow new skills from the maintenance tasks and contribute to the ongoing passion-project of their home. We would recommend them as kind and generous hosts who looked after us very well 😊 Thank you!

It is my second time coming back here, and I truly recommend it. So kind hearted people and the vibe is amazing. 🙏🏼Thank you and see you in the future
