Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

We spent 2 wonderful weeks helping Jasper & Rose at their amazing place. We feel welcomed as family members by the two of them and their 2 cats and dogs. The work was Always pleasant and during our free Time we got the chance to enjoy the Samos spirit between the rain's drops. We made a lot of nice memories with them sharing lovely dinner and games. Both are very inspiring people Always so positives. The every day awaiking view is the cherry on the cake. Thanks so much again for your time and your hospitality.

I discovered Zakaria’s profile by chance. I was updating my project and I had the curiosity to search Workawayers nearby. So I find him, living in my town and studying in our local university. I contacted him for some chats and I invited him to join me and my friend for the Eid celebration in a town nearby. Zakaria is a very nice and interesting guy. He’s very clever, with a respectful and kind attitude. He helped me with a couple of works at home that I couldn’t do by myself and offered to do more if needed. He hadn’t much time because he was leaving to join another host but I hope that it will be possible to meet again when he will come back. I recommend him because I’m sure 100%that he can accomplish any task with precision and skill.

Michelangelo reached out to us because he was urgently looking for a host; his original host had stopped responding. We agreed to host him for a week, and that turned out to be a really good decision. From the very first moment, we were drawn to his calm, polite, and very helpful nature, and we felt as though we’d known him for a long time. He settled in very quickly and immediately pitched in with various tasks: from trimming bushes to digging holes to remove roots to stacking wood in the garden. He joined us for an evening with friends around the garden fire and fit right in with the whole group. We highly recommend this young man to other hosts and would love to see him again!

Jana stayed with me for four weeks and was a very polite and quiet guest. She was incredibly reliable. I left her in charge of the house for two weeks while I was away, and she handled everything perfectly. She also went above and beyond by helping me with transport to and from the airport, which I really appreciated! While she was here, she helped with house cleaning and steady maintenance in the garden. She was also attending a language course during her stay, so while we didn't have a lot of time for cultural exchange, she was always pleasant to have around. If you are looking for a trustworthy, independent, and respectful helper, I can certainly recommend Jana.

Gabriel is fab ! So much so he came back again. He’s such a good worker and keen to help at all times.

Our time here was truly unforgettable. Having the opportunity to teach English to the children in this Cambodian village was a life-changing experience. We stepped far outside our comfort zone, yet somehow it quickly felt like home. Mr. Son, his wife, and their daughter were wonderful hosts — warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. And the food… absolutely incredible! Every meal was home-cooked with care and full of local flavor. We poured our hearts into the school, and it was deeply rewarding to see how our efforts were appreciated by the teachers, students, and fellow volunteers. We’ll always treasure the memories and the friendships made here

We realky enjoyed hosting Jack. He is a very kind and respectful person. He came to help us with creating our new website from scratch and has done an amazing job. He defenitely knows what he s doing. Super recomended! Thank you again Jack for your contribution to our project

Me and my friend Ronja stayed at the farm in the beginning of April for almost two weeks and had a very pleasant stay with Jean Luc. The cherry tree was blooming and the cats and birds often visited us when we’re having lunch and dinner outside. After grabbing coffee and a breakfast from at the local village of Messac or Vayrac and meeting Jean Luc‘s lovely friends in the morning, we did some exploring around. We saw beautiful castles and the French countryside. On the car rides we did some little French lessons. After a few days we were allowed to take over the drivers seat and also did a tour with a van- with was very cool for practice driving in a new car at a new place. In the afternoons we worked on the farm- bashed some concrete, installed electric, restored some old furniture and also did a bit of gardening. The structure of the day was good for me, it helped me a lot to feel comfortable. In the middle of the stay we had very good weather and went to the river to picnic and enjoyed a glass of wine. My personal highlight was the birthday party of Lore and the cello and saxophone concert hihihi. Also the historic car show at Vayrac was so cool and we always made jokes about the big houses around being our future mansions. Jean Luc is a very open minded and joyful person, with whom you can enjoy a lot of different conversation topics. He put a lot of effort into showing us the surroundings and letting us try new things, so we got a good impression of the French life at the countryside. Also the French cuisine- we made quiche and crêpes. I really really really loved playing the piano. All in all I had a very good time and I wish we would have stayed longer. Salut :)

This was our first Workaway experience, and we could not have dreamed for a better beggining! Since day one we felt at home with Nathaniel and Diana. They are wonderful people, kind and dedicated. The land is beautiful and sits in a privileged area. During the working hours, we would be learning a lot since they both communicate really well and love to share their knowledge. The tasks were interesting and diverse, and it was very cool to see how everything gets reused in nature. Then the free time would pass by flying (so that we had to stay another month) due to a lot of fun activities outdoors, aswell as game/fireplace/film nights. It was also good to have a camp for ourselves in case rest or privacy was needed. We are greateful and we would be happy to come back in the future! We absolutely recommend staying here for a couple of months and get to know them and their project. Domo arigato / moltes gràcies!

Una persona entrañable y muy buena ayuda. Buena comunicacion y conversacion. Trabaja muy bien y tiene buenos conocimientos con pintura y huerta. Muy rica cocina, muy amable, educada y divertida. Tambien ayuda terapeutica con sus conocimientos y empatia. Su perrita Frida es puro amor. Super adiestrada y controlada por Renate. Ningun problema con mis gatos, gallinas, ni ladridos ni nada. 100 por 100 educacion alemana. Lamentablemente me siento triste que no se pueden quedar mas tiempo

We absolutely loved having Chantal stay with us and can recommend her from the bottom of our hearts! She helped us with all kinds of things—from renovation projects to taking care of our dogs—and was amazing in everything she did. Chantal is responsible, super handy, and just really fun to be around. She always jumped in to help with a positive attitude. We shared such lovely moments together too—great hikes in nature, good food, and lots of laughs. We felt completely comfortable leaving our home and our dogs in her care, which says a lot. She’s a genuinely kind and beautiful person, and we already miss her!

I had a wonderful experience with Tanisha and Ashwin. I’ve done several volunteer projects through Workaway, and this stay truly brought back the sense of authenticity I felt when I first joined the platform years ago. You’ll be living in a remote and absolutely beautiful place, hosted by an Indian couple who are building something meaningful from the ground up. Being part of their journey and helping bring their dream to life is incredibly special. They have a vegetable garden and a lovely café that is almost ready to open. During my stay, I helped with farming, painting, and assembling a few things for the café. The work felt nice and relaxed. The place itself is very peaceful, and I also had plenty of time to be on my own, so it’s ideal if you’re comfortable with some quiet and solitude. The volunteer accommodation is very clean and it has everything you need. It even has an Indian-style toilet, which for me was part of the experience and made me feel more connected to the local lifestyle - after all, we are in India! 😃 Tanisha and Ashwin are wonderful people — kind, welcoming, and great to be around. I was also lucky enough to try the coffee they’ll soon be serving to clients, as well as their pizzas — both were absolutely delicious and made with great care. Absolutely delicious! 🤤 I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for something genuine. This is a real one :) Thank you again for hosting me — and hopefully see you in Portugal! 🌈

My time on Bowen island was absolutely amazing. Ana, Jesse and Emilia made me feel like part of the family from day one. They are all so fun to be around and we laughed a lot together. Also they really made me feel welcomed in their house and trusted me from the beginning. The "work" was not a lot and was mostly picking up Emilia and spending time with her which didn't feel like working at all. Emilia is such a funny, smart and confident girl so that spending time with her was always great. Sometimes I cooked dinner or just tried to make family life run a little easier. But I always felt like part of a team and also appreciated the good communication. Besides that I had plenty of free time. Ana and Jesse always encouraged me to explore Bowen and take part in Island Life. They lend me their cars and sometimes even gave me a ride so coming around on Bowen was not a problem at all. On the weekends I had the days off so I was able to go to Vancouver a few times and meet with friends I made on the island. It would also be possible to go to Vancouver Island or Whistler. This was my first Work-away experience and I absolutely loved it. The family made it so special to me and I couldn't have asked for a better family to stay with during those six weeks. Also Bowen is just an incredibly beautiful place (even in winter) and there is a lot of nature and wildlife to explore. If you want to you can even take Camila and Flo as your adventure buddies with you which I would highly recommend. I already miss the family and hopefully will be able to come back one day!

It was a lovely experience to have JiaRong stay. She's a friendly, funny and likeable person, and I was happy with her work around the house and in the garden. I really enjoyed hanging out with her here and in Valencia. She's also a great cook! Welcome back anytime :)

I spent only 3 days with this family and I regret it a lot that my flight was rebooked and my stay was shorter than expected becouse it was a really nice experience, everybody was very hospitable and communicative, even if they didn't speak eanglish. Pavel and Oksana are amazing people and I recommend staying with them and visiting Belgrade!

Kate was a great team member. Very happy to get stuck in. Great workawayer

Yetong and Sascha were our guests for 25 days and provided us with great help with various tasks: construction, weeding after heavy rains, repairing the fence on the surrounding wall, and planting new trees. They are hard workers who, with proper guidance, are capable of working independently. They are clean, tidy, and respectful of space. Despite our difficulties understanding English, it wasn't too difficult to communicate the essentials of daily life. Good luck, Yetong and Sascha!!!

Freyja was an amazing add on to our team for December and January, exactly the peak season where we needed hard working people and she was defitinelty one of them!! Freyja was super responsible with her shifts, she was unbeatable in housekeeping, didnt matter if they had 15 or 25 beds, she rocked it every single time! Definitely our GOAT of housekeeping. She has a very social and bubbly character, and she got along so well with the whole team and guests! Loved to play games in her free time which was really nice to see, it makes people bond you know. Freyja gave us such amazing ideas also for the hostel, she gave the hostel definitely more color and character! She came up with a sunset kayak activity which until this day we still run and people love it. Thanks Freyja for your amazing contribution in our hostel, we loved having you here, we're waiting for your comeback next year!!

Ich habe rund 3 Wochen im Haus dieser wundervollen Familie verbracht und bin unendlich dankbar für diese tolle Zeit! Ich habe mich direkt bei meiner Ankunft super wohl gefühlt und wurde herzlichst aufgenommen. Jeder in der Familie ist super aufmerksam und alle haben sich ernsthaft für meine Interessen und Anliegen interessiert, sodass ein toller Austausch entstanden ist und ich super viele neue Erfahrungen sammeln konnte. Sehr lieb gewonnen habe ich auch die Schüler der beiden Schulen in denen Grace und Anselmo arbeiten, in denen ich einen kleinen Vortrag über Deutschland halten durfte. Dabei bin ich in Kontakt mit tollen Menschen gekommen und habe sehr interessante Gespräche geführt. Die ruhige Art der Eltern und wie untereinander kommuniziert wird lässt eine warme Atmosphäre entstehen und man fühlt sich super wohl. Auch das ich nicht wirklich viel portugiesisch spreche hat uns nicht aufgehalten und wir haben uns in einem Mix aus Englisch und Spanisch unterhalten was wunderbar funktioniert hat. Die drei kleinen Hundis haben mein Herz erobert und ich habe es sehr genossen sie auf die Spaziergänge in die Nachbarschaft mitzunehmen. Zu Fuß ist auch eine kleine Christo Statue gut erreichbar die ein toller Aussichtspunkt ist. Wir haben zusammen super schöne Ausflüge in die Umgebung gemacht, zu einer Talsperre und einer Ranch mit einem riesen Buffet wo wir zwei wundervolle Tage mit vielen spannenden Eindrücken verbracht haben. Außerdem durfte ich Teil von einem Familienfest rund um die Taufe von Verena sein, wofür ich sehr dankbar bin! Verena ist ein aufgeschlossenes, neugieriges junges Mädchen und sie liebt es alles in der Wohnung umzuräumen und neu zu sortieren, und ich habe ihr gelegentlich dabei geholfen.😂🥰 Man erreicht sowohl das Zentrum von Caieiras als auch das Stadtzentrum von Sao Paulo problemlos mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln oder Mototaxi/ Uber. Wer in Sao Paulo unterwegs ist, sollte einen Halt bei dieser tollen Familie machen! Danke! 🫶

Eva is amazing! The best help you can imagine, super kind, funny and just a pleasure to live with! Thanks you for everything Eva <3!!! Theresa and Véro
