Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

I had two very nice weeks here! Paolo has a very big knowledge in permaculture and is well established in the local community. Working felt more like practical gardening lessons, as Paolo appreciates questions and answers them all with big pleasure. Besides work we often went out to take part at the local life by meeting his friends, having a drink and more. Besides that, Paolo is a great cook and you can talk openly with him about your needs as he is very flexible and considerate. Back in city after my stay I realised how quiet it was here – you just hear the birds, some wind in the trees and a few owls crying at night! So, I definitely recommend this place, as it is an unique exchange and learning opportunity while reconnecting with the calm of nature! 😊

Hi workawayers! I truly believe that choosing Tom's farm as my volunteering experience in Tassie, It was the best choice I could ever make! Plus, If you are a girl that travels alone like me, and want to visit Tom and volunteer in his farm, girl don't worry, u are safe here, Tom has never made me feel uncomfortable, He is truly the best! I always felt respected. He had traveled a lot around the world, and he also knows what it means been far from home. He is very funny to be around, there will be times where you'll chat while having dinner or lunch together and I think that's one of the best things about volunteering; sharing ideas, opinions, talking about life experiences, bonding even if you are from different countries with different backgrounds. About the volunteering, He was always there, ready to teach me something new and explain to me how to do stuff that I never done before. The experience reflects 100% Tom's profile, He'll give u different tasks so everyday it'll be different so the motivation and the mood is gonna be always high! You will meet a lot of incredible lovely animals! Pygmy goats, highland coos, chickens, roasters, a giant Flemish rabbit and two gorgeous and lovely dogs, Buddy and Freya! All the animals are treated with kindness and respect, they are very free and Tom loves each one of them! You'll have a lovely room and a comfortable bed to rest after work. There are paths on Tom's property that are 100% worthy to explore! Tom's project is bigger that "just a farm"! He's been working for years to make wild life in the area, easier and smoother. In the area you'll see wallabies, kangaroos, wombats, Tassie devils and more! More luck after sunset. Be careful if you drive in the area after the sunset. Thank you Tom for everything! You made my Tassie adventure and stay unforgettable! KEEP TASSIE WILD! ❤️

I stayed with Holly and Warren for about a week, and it went by so fast! They are very welcoming, kind, and make sure you feel comfortable and included in everything. I loved taking part in all the activities and getting a real sense of their daily life. It was amazing to discover their culture, see their beautiful farm, and spend time with the lovely dogs. I’m really happy to have met Holly, Warren, and their 4 incredible kids, and I hope to be able to come back and see you again!

Joan and Niels are wonderful people. They know a lot about how vegetable gardening, are hard working people, are proactive and always find solutions to issues. It was agreat experience to have them here. Joan cooked some traditional danish dishes who were very tasty and will probably become part of the dishes we eat often. I can only recommend them to any host.

This family is so amazing and I can't thank them enough! I stayed with them for one month in Feb 2026. The house and location is incredible! It's outside of london so you don't feel too much in the city, but it's also only a short way away from the center of london, so you can get there easily. Serena and Christian are 10/10 parents, they know exactly what they are doing and I'm so happy I got to learn from them! They are also kind, funny, and loving people so I know anyone who stays with them will have a good experience! Both kids are absolutely darling and I love them both soooo much!! They are wild and energetic boys, but they are also very kind, smart, and creative. The work was easy and hardly felt like work. Some basic cleaning, picking the boys up from school or dropping them off (5-10 min walk), playing with the boys or taking them to the park, or helping Serena with some gardening or oddball jobs. Very very easy :) Big thank you to Serena and Christian for welcoming me into your home!! You are so amazing! I highly recommend these hosts to any volunteer!

I had an amazing experience at P´Noi and Manee's farm! There is a big freedom with the work task, and possibility to help with what you find most interesting. But you need to have a strong independency, and do stuff on your own, not relaying on Manee to guide you. I was so lucky to work with the biochar on a project focusing on different biochar and fertilizer mixtures for optimal plant growth. It was nice to be able to put up these experiments, and follow the changes. I was there for about 3 weeks and could already see small results!! Manee is also really good at collaborating with the locals and have a lot of friends she took us to visit! There is lots of workshops with locals and Muay thai training very close to the farm! Thank you for an amazing first workaway experience, I wish you all the best and can wait to follow along:))

Sorry it's taken so long to write this feedback, I stayed with Marissa and her family for two months in November-December 2025. I have no words really. They are so amazing and they are like a second family to me. Both kids are incredibly smart and creative. Martin is very kind and loving. Marissa is incredibly smart and she is a wonderful person, friend, and mother. The work was easy and very laid back. I mostly just saw what needed to be done and did it. I never kept track of hours, I just tried to be helpful and in return I got treated like family. Their shower broke while I was there and the house ran cold, but any inconvenience was not an issue, and if there was any issues, they would try to fix it immediately. They were very accommodating. I can't say enough positive things about this family, I love them sooo much and I'm always rooting for them in everything they do! This workaway might not be for everyone, but to me it was the perfect fit :)

Hi, Nicky. I am writing to thank you for having received me as a workawayer in your property last February. I had an amazing and joyful time out there and would like to thank Dana for her excellent supervision and frequent lifts to the centte of the village and elsewhere. I wish you all the best. Thanks again

Dante stayed with us for 2 weeks and we can say our experience with him was perfect. A perfect fit. He was the first to try our tent and also the one to have given us a really big hand to improve our starting situation. He is smart and full of ideas to share. He learns quickly and is curious towards new things and situations. His adaptability and flexibility left us amazed, his help was very precious to us. He was also able to organise some of the few tasks he could carry out by himself. Together we finished our compost toilet, planted trees and new seedlings, general gardening maintenance and we set up our chicken coop thanks to his many ideas. We cooked so many yummy dishes and spent fun and chill moments together. He was very respectful of the shared facilities, our routine and with all of our animals as well (they loved him in their very funny way!). We are glad to have met you Dante, wish you all the best and hope to see you soon amigooooo! Big hugs!!

Emma was a fantastic helper, always willing to get stuck in and lend a hand. She was consistenly cheerful, enthusiastic and an absolute pleasure to have around. She was super easy to live with, friendly, chatty and really interesting too. We had many great conversations while she was here. Emma has been back to us a couple of times now and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone. She was also brilliant with the dogs.

i had a great experience at Clara in the Montecalvo Versiggia Wine Area! Clara is a friendly, funny and cool lady, living in a small village with dogs, cats, chicken and Jochen, the german neighbour :). 💗Everymorning I walked the dogs, feed them and the cats, looked for the poop and cleaned the floor. After we drank together coffee. If you a learning italian, love dogs, cats and the simple life you should defintely go here. I enjoyed the silence, just birds and the dogs barking in the morning. It was my first work and travel and i am glad i made it at Clara! I also met her son and he brought me closer to the italian life. He is a sweetheart. I think it's a bit sad that my Italian wasn't very good, because I believe we would have had more interaction. Next time, fluent! 😄 My room was really cold in march, if you have Problems with this, you should prepare your bag with another blanket. And you should be okay with staying alone for 2-3 days, but for me both was easy. thank you clara for the experience and maybe we meet us again 🇮🇹❤️

Martha stayed with us for less than a week, but she brought a really warm and easy energy into the space. She helped out with pumpkin planting, painting, cooking, and overall upkeep, always with a calm, positive attitude. It was genuinely nice to have her here, both in terms of work and just sharing the space. We’re really glad she stopped by, even if it was for a short while, and we wish her the best for everything ahead.

Andreas stayed with us for a short period of less than a week, but in that time he made genuinely positive contribution. He helped us with planting pumpkins, some light woodwork, and taking care of the garden, all with the willingness to learn. He was respectful, easy to host, and blended well into our space. Wishing him all the best for his future volunteering experiences!

I spent a bit more than 3 weeks at Jan and Stephan's yoga farm and it was an wonderful experience. Met amazing and friendly people there, including 4 cuddling cats, 3 cheeky horses and the lovely dog Poncho. The place is quiet and very beautiful, nice to take walks around the area. The food was great and tasks rewarding. Will visit again if I ever get back to Portugal 🙏

Sabine is a really lovely lady. Communication was perfect, she arrived with no problems, and she speaks excellent English. She house sat for us for just one week, cooked a lovely meal for our daughter for the day she arrived, and is very welcome to return in the future. Wonderful!

È stato un piacere ospitare i ragazzi, giovani ma molto organizzati e che sanno quello che vogliono. Grazie di tutto

I had the best time at the shelter 🩷🦘🦜🤩 Manfred is a real good person. He takes perfect good care of the workaways. Makes sure that you have everything you need and are happy. The accommodations are very comfortable and the vegan food is soooooooo yummy 😋 He would buy anything you use to eat or drink if it's not already there and you ask for it. Taking care of the kangaroos is an amazing experience. These animals are the cutest ! I feel so blessed to get the opportunity to be around them, and to learn so much from Manfred. During the days off, you can join him (he is a wild life rescuer) on rescue mission or snake catch. So interesting 🤩 The property is just beautiful, in the forest. Lots of walks to enjoy around. Lots of birds. I understand why all the Workaways want to come back ! This place is heaven, even more so with a glass of wine by the fireplace on cold evenings 😊 Thank you for everything Manfred !

I stayed with Marty and Sara for one and a half week and I can definitely recommend it! The food is amazing, the people are nice and the goats are so cute and funny!

Erfan is from Iran and has studied in Turin and has a degree in engineering. He came to me before the war started and was a very good worker And even though after the war started and he could not contact his family, he didnt waiver in any of the jobs I had given him although, as you can immagine he was in pain and worried. He is a very gentle person, very respectful and very clean. He participated willingly in all of my dinner parties, we are all around sixty years old, but he took part in our conversations and even cooked iranian food for us. He had in fact brought some iranian saffron for us especially. He is now looking for a job but being iranian he is extremely penalised and I am so sorry that such a wonderful gentleman like this should be in this situation. I sincerely recommend this incredible young man.
