Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

I spent a couple of weeks at Ismael and Andreea's farm. Mostly did woodworking for the workshop, which is a skill I've been looking into honing but couldn't find the right place to do it, so it was very welcome! They've been great at handling the absolutely terrible weather they've been having; which is why they had to cut my stay short (understandably so!) Overall, if you're in Northern Morocco, Ismael and Andreea's farm is a great place to come and unwind from the craziness of Moroccan cities and connect with other people.

I spend about a month at the farm. It was a great experience: I managed to learn a whole lot about composting, farming, animal care and so many other things. Younes is so incredibly passionate about what he does and it's contagious! He is also very flexible about work; he knows it can be physical and takes it into account. The food is amazing too! I'll always remember the wonderful feasts we had for Ramadan. Accomodation-wise, it is very comfortable, from beds to hot showers and washing mashines, it has everything you need. Overall, if you're looking to learn more about farming and are interested in experiencing the rural Morocco, this is the perfect place!

Abdou is a special person 😄 You can trust it completely , He is a super kind and welcoming person, I had a great time, and I recommend everyone to go to him in Essaouira Thanks Andou, see you soon ☀️

Dan is one of the smartest and genuine people I have ever met. Her skills know no end and her rapidity of mind is on display in all situations. Any job is tackled with grace, elegance, skill and tenacity. She is funny, charming, wise and discretely fearless. Dan ! You are welcome back !

Annmarie is a one of life's curious cats who is always open for new and enriching experiences to add to her already considerable knowledge of life, the universe and evrything in it. It was a genuine pleasure hosting her as she deploys great energy and goodness in all jobs and situations. She mixes well with people and really gets stuck in - a great team player!

We had a great time volunteering at Nammon's school! We volunteered for just over 5 weeks and would have loved to stay longer. Throughout our stay, we felt welcomed by her, her family, and the staff at school. Nammon took us to her tennis lessons, took us out for dinner, and even invited us to go to a different province for the weekend. We were able to use Nammon's scooter to get around Thung Song, and when we went away for the weekend, Nammon gave us a lift to the train station. She was also always happy to give us suggestions for what to do in Thung Song. The kids at the school are amazing, and it was fun teaching different age groups, but also challenging at times. Nammon and the teachers were always there to help, which was great. Our favourite experience was probably going on a school trip to Nakhon, where we visited Nakhon Si Thammarat National Museum and Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan. We would definitely recommend this workaway to others and really enjoyed our time at Kinder+Garten! Thank you to Nammon and everyone at Kinder+Garten! Emily and Tommas :)

Katerina is a true original. She is witty, kind and sincere.She has a very practical mind and her hands know how to use tools, how to plan a job and how to execute any task with intelligence and great craft. She is also a good cook and a great team member. Come back Katerina!

Iga is super intelligent, conscientious and very focused. She is a quick learner who can easily adapt to a variety of situations in a skillful manner. We wishe her well and would be happy to see her again!

Conrad is a gentleman. He is wise, capable and great fun. He has enormous good energy and a life time of practical and business experience behind him. Should he knock at your door, roll out the red carpet !

Pour ma 1ère expérience en tant que Workaway, j'ai été gâtée de résider chez Chris. La maison est située dans un endroit calme en campagne, à proximité de très beaux villages typiques du Lot et Garonne. Chris a rénové une ancienne maison et un ensemble de bâtiments avec beaucoup de goût et beaucoup de courage. Mes conditions d'hébergement ont été plus que parfaites. La maison est joliment décorée, très confortable et chaleureuse. Sa chatte Minouche est un amour de chat. Nous avons beaucoup échangé avec Chris qui est une personne dynamique, ouverte et travailleuse. J'ai fait du jardinage et nettoyage de printemps de son grand terrain et rénové deux murs en pierres sèches. Je recommande vivement de séjourner chez Chris. La communication est fluide, et nous avons travaillé dans une bonne ambiance et parfois en musique. Merci encore à Chris de m'avoir accueillie deux semaines dans son petit havre de paix.

Eddy is a star! He is quick minded, very capable and full of enthusiasm. He is a slendid sense of humour and and a gentle heart. He is an all round good guy. Great with tasks, great in company and a moist sincewre and decent human being. Employ Eddy - he will be a great addition to your world !

Bernadett is fun, engaging and dedicated. She learns tasks very quickly and applies a calm focus to all of her work. She is lovely company and a delight to be with. I would happily welcome her back!

What an excellent fortnight we had with Andrew and Libby! Highly recommend them both. They are so respectful and thoughtful and easy going. There was always a story to share over dinner (and in between). It was what a exchange should be, interest between all in their respective countries, lives and experiences. I really admired Libby's stamina with stripping the bay window, didn't expect to get it just about finished. Andy is a 'jackal of all trades' and a lot of little things around the place got done beside the big job of completely stripping a bathroom back to studs. With their vast experience they offered suggestions but were never pushy. Andy is also a good cook, both are in fact and I enjoyed coming home to interesting, good home meals, nourishing at the end of the day. Thank you for making good use of the produce from the garden. We thank you again for all your help and company, it made a big difference around the place. All the best and we hope to see you again when you are back in NZ.

After three weeks here I can highly recommend a stay here. Very beautiful in an incredibly nice environment. Everyone in the family is open, happy and welcoming. There is a lot of warmth and laughter here, often with a twinkle in their eye. A nice experience, thank you for welcoming me.

When Gavin arrived at our home, I had already had many excellent experiences with Workaway, but his stay truly exceeded all my expectations. Beyond his very useful carpentry skills, and the generosity and responsibility he showed in every task he took on, what made him special was everything he gave beyond the “work” itself. He brought genuine warmth into our home, with my children, with me, with my husband, and with our friends. He became part of our daily life in the most natural and beautiful way: joining our barbecues, coming along to outings, and sharing far more time and connection with us than I had ever imagined. Having him with us was truly a joy. We already miss him deeply. I’m even taking a bit of time before hosting another Workawayer, because it honestly feels like the space he left will be impossible to fill. I very much hope he comes back someday, our home will always be open to him.

You have done the feedback before us, and what a feedback, it has melt our heart... Once again... ;) Thank you so much for everything, we felt so welcomed from the first minute to the last. We had time to introduce into Buddhisme culture at our own rythme and of course we took the time to rest in this peacefull place :) We can just add one more wonderful review about this place, and If you feel attracted, do not hesitate one second, you will be hosted and respected with your own personnality, your bright sides but also your weaknesses. Thank you for this, it is pretty rare nowadays. We already recommand this place to our relatives and I hope they will have the chance to come :) We will come back for sure :)

I spent a month here and I couldn’t have asked for a better first Workaway experience. Bori and Attila were always so kind and helpful. The atmosphere was so welcoming and family-like. I also loved meeting people from all over the world; it was beautiful to connect with so many different cultures and hear their stories. The work was always clear and well-balanced, leaving me free time to enjoy the city. I would truly recommend this place to anyone looking for a warm and friendly experience!

Colin was my first Workawayer last week. He did exactly what I asked him to do, and helped out tremendously on a roofing project, which needed two persons to complete. Colin's stay was for one week; but together we finished the project 👍👍👍 At times I had to leave the house, but Colin continued to work in his own initiative and carried out painting tasks. All in all, I highly recommend Colin for any host. And I would welcome him back for future projects.

It was truly a very pleasant time; I felt like part of the family. Aleksandra, Nika, Lela, and Murier are a small family with big hearts, lots of imagination, and excellent energy. You'll never feel alone.

Christophe a passé 15 jours à nos cotés où il nous a énormément aidé sur des travaux d'extérieur ( blanchir des fruitiers à la chaux , désherber , passer la débroussailleuse , bêcher , tondre ,etc ..) Christophe est toujours motivé , enthousiaste , impliqué dans les travaux que nous avons pu réalisé autant que possible ensemble . Il a la volonté de toujours faire bien et plus pour satisfaire au mieux les souhaits de ses hôtes et leur faire plaisir . Christophe s'adapte très vite et voit le travail là où il est sans que l'on ait besoin de lui dire . Coté humain , Christophe est une personne cultivée et intéressante avec lequel nous avons pris plaisir à échanger , partager en dehors des heures de travail. Merci pour ces récits de voyages inlassables ! Très respectueux de notre lieu de vie . Nous souhaitons à tous les hôtes de pouvoir bénéficier de sa présence , c'est un régal. Merci Christophe , tu seras toujours le bienvenu chez nous . Claudine et Gilles
