Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

I spent 4 weeks with Rachel and Norman and it was an amazing experience! Rachel and Norman are an open minded, easygoing and beautiful people and they have a lovely family (I met their sons and I spent lovely time with them as well); I felt at home from day one. The work was never too heavy (actually I felt like I never worked!), I worked for 4 hours per day (weekend off) and Rachel and Norman always made sure I didn't work for longer. I helped Rachel in her beautiful garden (I did some weeding, pruning, potting, planting and other manual jobs around the garden and the green house), she taught me a lot of things about gardening and plants and I really appreciated it. I appreciated a lot Norman's delicious dinners (he is a MasterChef), we often laughed about the fact that we had different traditions about food and I tried to pass a bit of my Italianness (remember, try to follow the rules please 😂😂😂). I also appreciated our conversations at dinner time (they helped me a lot with my english), we used to play board games after dinner and watch tv series/movie. I played at least 10 new board games (special mention to Ticket to Ride) and I never won, Rachel and Norman were unbeatable! In conclusion, I highly recommend Rachel and Norman as hosts! Thank you so much for everything you taught me, for the laughs, for your beautiful family and for the good times that we spent together! I'm going to miss you and I hope to see you again! Ciao ❤️

We have hosted nahuel twice now, each time for about a week, and that alone says a lot – we were very happy to welcome him back. He is a genuinely friendly, open-minded and curious young person who quickly became part of our daily life. He was always willing to help, motivated to take on new tasks, and showed real interest in what was going on around him. Living together was easy and enjoyable. We appreciated his positive attitude, his curiosity, and the many good conversations we shared. He is respectful, easy-going, and simply a pleasure to have around. Thank you for spending time with us and for all your help. You are always welcome back, and we wish you all the best for your future travels and adventures!

Mike and I had a great week with Cristina and GB. We learned a lot about growing vines and the work involved in producing grapes. Even though Cristina was very busy, she made us feel welcome and we had lots of great chats. We loved the accommodation, the area, which we would never have gone to if it wasn't for the workaway, and being with the dogs. We were very impressed with the steps they have taken to being sustainable. Thank you both for a great first workaway experience.

I spent one month at Nimbu during the rainy season and honestly had such a great experience. My role was mainly taking photos of the hotel and sometimes photos for the guests as well. Even though Theresa wasn’t there in person during my stay, the communication was always super smooth, clear and easy. The whole hotel staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the atmosphere really special from day one. The place itself is beautiful, peaceful and truly unique — perfect if you’re looking for somewhere calm, surrounded by nature, while still being close to the surf spots. And special mention for the breakfasts… seriously so good ahah. I genuinely loved my time there and left with really good memories.

As my first Workaway experience I couldn't have asked for better, Anja and Harald are such kind and interesting people and I loved spending time by such a beautiful lake. I will especially miss the meals we all prepared and shared together-there was never a dull moment! the work was also really reasonable and felt even better in such a fun environment. thank you so much for such a memorable time! :)

Linda and Phil are some of the coolest people we've stayed with yet! Laura and I spent two weeks with them in the Bitterroot Mountains this past month. We got to live out of their cute travel trailer and work at our own pace. We cleaned out the barn, helped disassemble Phil's once-magnificent greenhouse, and mowed the lawn many times over. We had plenty of free time to putter around the big ol' mountains right next door, and we were allowed to use the ATV's whenever we pleased. We especially enjoyed Linda's cooking (she makes lots of good Mexican food!) and Phil's crazy stories. Linda and Phil are great hosts should you get the chance to stop by.

First class volunteer! Thank you Mikaela for being awesome from start to end! Brought her expertise, hard work, good vibes and can-do attitude! Hope we receive you again!

Jonny is an amazing person. Our time with him was precious! He will be soon back with us and hopefully for a long time. He is a kind man, authentic, generous, and very proactive in different ways. 100% recommended!

Mi experiencia durante estos dos meses en la selva fue especialmente enriquecedora. Es un lugar precioso en el que te sentirás como en un pequeño paraíso natural. Colaboré en distintas tareas y siempre me sentí valorada, integrada y tratada con cariño. Lo más bonito fue la sensación de formar parte de la familia y poder conocer de cerca su manera de vivir, su generosidad y su calidad humana. Más allá del intercambio previsto con esta gran familia que es Gad Ghan Kum, sentí que realmente compartimos la vida cotidiana, las conversaciones, las comidas, el trabajo y también muchos momentos sencillos que terminan quedándose en el corazón. Me llevo un agradecimiento muy especial hacia Mamá Carmen, una mujer admirable, llena de historias, fortaleza y sabiduría. Escucharla y convivir con ella fue uno de los regalos más valiosos de esta experiencia. Gracias de corazón a Mamá Carmen Rocío, José, Huascar y Vale por abrirme las puertas de su hogar y hacerme sentir una más de la familia. Y una mención especial para Mirta, siempre cuidándonos a través de su cocina, con comidas hechas con cariño que hacían sentir el hogar todavía más cálido. Y no me olvido de Orus, Maya y Campanita. Hay lugares que uno visita… y otros que dejan huella. Este fue uno de ellos.

Hosting Kathi this past spring has been an absolute delight, and we cannot say enough great things about her. She brings a bright, positive outlook in everything she does. No matter the task at hand, she approaches it with a smile and a genuine desire to help. She was proactive, reliable, and went above and beyond to ensure everything she worked on during her stay was done beautifully. We are so incredibly grateful for all the time, effort, and care she has put in to our space and projects. She is also a very kind and respectful person to share a home and conversations with day to day. We would without a doubt recommend her to any hosts on here. We send you our warmest wishes for your next adventures and know you will always have a place here, you are welcome back anytime!

Ramón was our first Workawayer, and he made this experience something truly special. With his knowledge about Mexico, he really impressed us, and we were able to learn a lot about his country and culture. My daughter was also able to improve her Spanish with him. He always completed the tasks quickly and diligently, as he has a sharp understanding and excellent observational skills. We can highly recommend Ramón and would be very happy to see him again one day.

Had an awesome time staying and working with David. A great place and opportunity to explore Hawaii, would highly recommend!

Experienca maravillosa vivida con George y todo su entorno Tuve mi primer acercamiento a permacultura y es algo que ahí se vive y se siente, además de las enseñanzas de George Toda la naturaleza, el relacionamiento con los demás, la comida de Emi, y la empatía de tener en cuenta de hacer tareas que estén a gusto de cada uno de los voluntarios Un lugar que volvería sin dudar, gracias por todo

I spent about two weeks with Yuho, Shota, Ai-chan and the other volunteers. It was exactly what I was looking for; the countryside was beautiful and calming and the company was wonderful. Yuho and Shota are so welcoming and kind, and little Ai-chan definitely taught me some Japanese! I wish I could have stayed for longer but I’ll definitely be back!

Elisabeth is super lovely and hard working women. She was at my place and came back with her boyfriend again and we always had a great time. Nice jam sessions, good talks, nice food we made together all in all just a great time. Thank you very much for your help :)

First of all, I would like to thank Jorge for letting me spend five weeks in his lovely place in El Hierro. The home is cozy and has a very nice view of the ocean, and the garden is absolutely amazing. I worked in the garden, fed the chickens and the rabbit, and I also cooked and prepared dried bananas and physalis, which I can recommend to everyone. One of my favorite things was taking care of a baby cat that was small, weak, and sick. It was a great pleasure for me to see that when I left, the cat was strong and healthy. Jorge was absolutely helpful, and I got everything I needed. The island is really beautiful and untouched. Me and the other Workawayers did many hikes in El Hierro, and sometimes I felt like I was on another planet. If you don't like crowded places and you like connecting with nature, this is the perfect place for you.

Pasé 3 semanas en aquí. Es un lugar maravilloso, rodeado de mucha naturaleza. Me gustó mucho aprender y trabajar en el quiosco. Estuve muy enfermo durante 10 días y Erwin me ayudó a encontrar un médico. ¡Además, las empleadas fueron muy simpáticas y acogedoras! Gracias Erwin !!

I was a volunteer here for the first three weeks of May 2026. The farm is nice and quiet as it is in a remote area. Just what I wanted to experience. I had my own accommodation in the prefab house, which had everything I required. I had the place to myself as it was early in the season. The hosts, Frangistos and Marilena, were always accommodating and helpful. It was also great to be able to socialise with the guests and meet interesting people. I would recommend this place to any volunteer, and I hope to be back there for the olive harvesting season.

thanks Jasek to come arround for one day, looking to the work to do and also make some few reparations. Maybe we see us again. Greetings Viviane

Dear Roy, it was a pleasure to welcome you here at my place. We had a few really good days, great conversations, lots of fun, and we also got a lot of work done. You truly helped me a lot and I thank you very much for that. Me and all my little animals — especially Ronja, who is completely in love with you — are already very much looking forward to the next time you come visit us. All the best, Viviane
