Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

We had a really pleasant stay here and truly enjoyed our time. the environment felt comfortable and easy to live in. The house is very well-equipped and has everything you might need, especially the kitchen, which had plenty of ingredients and tools, making cooking both simple and enjoyable. overall, we felt very comfortable in daily life. We also had the chance to be involved in many different activities during our stay. We cooked a lot together, and sharing meals was one of the most enjoyable parts of our time there. We helped with cleaning and daily tasks, and we also learned many new practical skills. As complete beginners, we even got an introduction to welding, which was very exciting for us. We participated in painting, gardening, and various construction tasks like shoveling, building stairs, working with cement, and filtering sand. We also helped in making and maintaining the garden, cleaning the attics, and lighting the stove every day with wood. One of the highlights for us was learning how to bake bread from Elham, which we truly enjoyed and will always remember. The host is not very social, but for us, this created a calm and relaxed environment where everyone could enjoy their own rhythm. Overall, we had a great experience and It was hard saying goodbye specially to the cats and the best dog in the world, Popoke. We are grateful for the time we spent here. Thank you for hosting us!

Sara and Lucy were absolutely brilliant workaways, they were clean and tidy and so helpful with any task. Couldn’t ask for better workaways, would highly recommend them to anyone.

Dennis was extremely hard working and was very helpful. He was honest and friendly.

This couple did excellent work at my place. They constructed several hugel culture mounds and built some stairs as well as lots of tidying in the garden. They were able to work independently and got on with all the tasks I asked them to do

Luis und Kathi waren sehr angenehme Hausgäste und sehr hilfsbereite Workawayer. Durch das gelernte Tischlerhandwerk konnten sie enorm viel dazu beitragen, dass alte Dinge wieder ein schönes Aussehen erlangten. Die beiden ergänzen sich sehr gut in allen Dingen die sie gemeinsam erledigen, und es ist schön zu beobachten, wie unglaublich nett sie dabei miteinander umgehen. Sie arbeiten sehr überlegt, gewissenhaft und genau und haben selbst große Freude an ihrer Arbeit. Durch die Hilfe in meinem Haus haben wir einen großen Schritt bei der Einrichtung und somit Gemütlichkeit des Wohnens gemacht. Unser gemeinsames Abendessen war immer kommunikativ und nett und wir waren gar nicht so schlechte Köche! Ich wünsche Kati und Luis weiterhin alles Gute und viel Erfolg für ihr Studium. Sie sind jedenfalls und gerne in meinem Haus willkommen.

Working here for the last 2 months has been amazing! It's a very light workload - teaching is really only on the weekends unless there is a summer camp going on. All of the kids are great and easy to teach because most already know English from school. There is not a lot of structure for teaching - you have the freedom to create whatever lessons and activities you want.The house is amazing, the family is super accommodating to all of your needs, and you get all 3 meals provided every day! Annie is a very kind host and is great at communicating. It's the perfect opportunity if you're looking to work with kids, gain experience teaching English, or just want to be out of Bangkok for a little bit - it's close to the river and easy to relax outside here. The neighborhood is very quiet and serves as a restful break for fellow travelers like me!

Sebastien is really hard working and motivated. During his stay he helped us water all the trees around the farm. He also worked with our farm hands David & Michael to plant some cactus near the fences. He has a great attitude and was always willing to lend a hand and work on extra things on top of the tasks he was given :)

Alberto & Florencia are an absolutely lovely, sympathetic couple. They bring so much warmth and positive energy wherever they go — it was infectious! We felt genuinely happy to have them as guests on our farm; they were respectful, kind, and a real joy to host. We’d love nothing more than to welcome them back anytime. Hope to see you again soon!

Aisie was wonderful to host! She is friendly, has a great personality and was willing to lend a hand in any activities that were happening at the farm. She was busy watering and planting trees, weeding and tending to the garden among many other things. Her contribution was much appreciated and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for help :)

Kenny stayed with us for two weeks, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time together. He possesses a wealth of skills, experiences, and stories to tell—and it’s even better when he shares them accompanied by his guitar. He is a responsible individual who strives to do things right; he is willing to help with the needs of the homestead and shows great enthusiasm for learning new things. He assisted us with various projects on the homestead , including construction using cob and other natural building techniques, animal care, painting a door, and repairing our old car. My two daughters got along wonderfully with him; he was patient, respectful, and fun with the girls. Before leaving, he left the space where he was staying very clean and tidy for the next Workaway. We are confident that he would be a positive presence in any situation or setting. He is very in tune with the earth and his environment. With gratitude

I had a great time here! I stayed for about 4 weeks total, with host Mila being very kind, understanding, and flexible for a last minute schedule change. I stayed in an apartment, with a kitchen for cooking and lots of restaurants and markets nearby for food (the Taiwanese dessert place 2 min away was a real highlight). During my time there I helped with research and writing for a website article, proofread and tested a new project offering, and ran a Language Exchange event. All of this was clearly communicated through Trello, and I was able to work on the tasks on my own time with a self-directed schedule. Mila also connected me to the Keelung Language Exchange group, where I was able to meet Keelung natives and practice my Mandarin! This is a great fit for someone who wants a flexible schedule and can manage their own time, and wants to experience city life in Taiwan (Keelung is a great and very dense port town, and Taipei is only ~35 min away by bus). Would recommend!

This was my first WorkAway experience. I couldn't have wished for anything better. Love this place and people. The food is absolutely amazing.

I believe our workaway connection came exactly at the right place, for all of us. Srdjan and Wannda came here as last-minute workaways, and it felt like it just had to be this way! They brought an amount of life into our house and sanctuary that I can't even describe. The anount of fun but also deeper conversations we had are countless and even while there were some heavy jobs listed, they did them with full passion,knowing that their actions were helping us,the animals and the general cause. Thank you both so much for that. And we will see each other again!

My time here was truly something special. Jane was a wonderful host—warm, welcoming, and genuinely thoughtful, always making sure everything felt comfortable and easy. The facilities were great, and the accommodation was cosy, creating a real home-away-from-home feeling from the moment I arrived. And then there’s Charlie, Pixie, and Ruby… you simply can’t help but fall in love with them. They bring so much personality, joy, and heart to the whole experience. This Workaway is more than just a place to stay—it’s a place you feel part of. I leave with a full heart and very fond memories. Highly recommended to anyone looking for something meaningful and memorable.

I had a great one week stay at the farm! Eric and Ezgi were very welcoming and laid back. I was the only volunteer at the time, so I had the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen space to myself. I loved spending time with the animals and the gardeners each day. The working hours are very fair and with plenty of guidance from the gardeners, David and Michael. Eric and Ezgi took me into town on my first day off which was really nice, to do some grocery shopping. I recommend if you appreciate the quiet farm life!

My partner Seb and I had the best possible experience with Elspeth and Kim back in Feb, we couldn't have asked for better hosts! The living situation was cosy and comfortable, the food (especially what was grown in the garden) was plentiful and delicious, the work was always accommodating and we learnt lots along the way. Elspeth and Kim are very kind lovely people and we 100% recommend this Workaway to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful time. Thank you Elspeth & Kim!

Although Bertrand stayed with me for less than two weeks, I could quickly see how diligent and experienced he is in various types of work. We worked together on laying weed mats and doing cement work, and it was clear he had the kind of know-how that only comes from real experience. It was both comfortable and enjoyable to work by his side. Beyond joining my Kouksundo classes, he maintained his own morning exercise routine to stay fit. With his wealth of practical skills and great attitude, he will be a wonderful asset to any host.

Lahcen Bounda has a bright, cheerful personality and a real passion for exploring new cultures. I could truly feel that he was doing his absolute best to help me in every way. With his background and skills as an engineer, he was a huge help in renovating my Kouksundo (traditional Korean mind-body training) studio and maintaining my father’s house. I highly recommend him!

What a great guest and helper Elizabeth has been! Apart from being a super chill person she is also very proactive and independent. She knew exactly what needed to be done in the garden or in the house without me even telling her, which I really appreciated because she came at a particular busy period for me. She also knew how to keep herself entertained during times off, went on many hikes and read a lot of books. Last but not least she is a creative cook who showed me you can make a tasty and healthy meal with whatever is available. We also had interesting conversations over dinner (her Spanish is awesome) and she really made the place feel more like a home by improving illumination, etc. I’m very thankful for all her help and friendly, cooperative attitude, and I wish her all the best in her future adventures!
