Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the wonderful experience while I cat-sat for you! 🌟 Your communication was amazing throughout, and I truly appreciated how nice and sweet you were. It made everything so much easier! The cat was an absolute sweetheart, and I had the best time with her. Your home is beautiful and cozy, and I felt super safe during my stay. It was a lovely environment to be in. Thank you once again for trusting me with your furry friend. I hope to help out again in the future! Thankyou again❤️

This was my very first workaway and I'm so glad it was at Suzan and Jamie's place. I felt so welcomed as soon as I arrived. Suzan is very kind, super organized and a pleasure to work with. The accommodation was lovely, the breakfast delicious, and the work very fair and satisfying. I did a mix of outdoor work, some reception work, a website review and occasionally helped out with breakfast. I enjoyed all the work, and especially liked working outside with Conero Jose, who was very patient despite my limited spanish. Due, Suzan and Jamies' beloved chocolate Labrador was a frequent and welcomed companion while working in the garden. Waking up on a banana plantation and coffee farm each morning was absolute bliss, and seeing some of the coffee production process was a real treat for me! The farm is close to hikes, tourist activities and only a short 15 minute tuk tuk ride to the town. I stayed in a shared tent, with an outdoor bathroom right next door, it was super cosy and modern. I would like to thank Suzan and Jamie for offering me this workaway opportunity, I thoroughly enjoyed everyday not just the work and being able to connect with the beautiful land but also getting the chance to work with some wonderful people. Thank you Suzan, Jamie, Conero Jose, Monica, Blanca, and of course Due. I would volunteer here again and would recommend it to others.

Thanks Verena and Jake! I'm glad you liked the place, even in windy season.. :D You did fulfill all I was asking for and the communication worked so good. Unfortunately we didn't meet in Person but from the video calls I'd like to say: feel free to come back whenever you want! :) ✌️ &❤️

This has probably been one of the best international experiences I’ve ever had. Not just because of the work, but because Brazil is a wonderful country for a cultural exchange—the people are incredibly kind, the food is delicious, and there are so many places to explore. The work consists of teaching English to both children and adults throughout the academic semester. The students are lovely and eager to share their culture with you; you'll learn so much from them and your Portuguese will improve remarkably fast through these interactions. The school is located in a small, charming town in the state of São Paulo, about 3 hours from the capital and close to Sorocaba. Despite its size, there’s plenty to do: parks, cultural activities, and even waterfalls. I spent a lot of my free time at "the club" using the gym and taking swimming lessons—I highly recommend making the most of the membership! The housing provided is a very nice flat with all the amenities, located about 15–20 minutes from the school. Pro-tip: Keep in mind that Piedade is a hilly town, so be prepared to strengthen those legs while walking! Everyone at the school is super friendly. Carol and her family go above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need. They are supportive from the moment you arrive until the very end (and even after!). Don’t hesitate to choose this Workaway if you enjoy teaching English and want to truly immerse yourself in a local Brazilian environment. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me. Muito obrigada pela experiência, eu adorei tudo! 💙🧡

My boyfriend Eric and I stayed for 6 weeks in January/February 2026 at Nina and Jochens place. Since it was winter, there’s was not so much to do in the garden, but we helped with household chores and isolated a little hut for them. We had a really peaceful, calm and restful time in the forest. We went on hikes, walks and visited Trondheim. And we went ice skating with them on a frozen lake, which was so much fun and very special. I also saw four moose which was an amazing experience! :) Nina, Jochen and their children are really amazing people. They are very good at communicating, are very empathetic and open and we felt very welcomed in their little paradise. I also really loved that in their house and around it there are many beautiful and colourfully painted patterns and paintings they did! 🌈💫 I’m sure we’ll see each other again, especially when we will also live in Norway in the future. And maybe I’ll come back this year and help in the garden and learn more about permaculture. I really recommend doing a workaway with them and wanted to also thank them again for that wonderful opportunity, it was excactly what I needed! ❤️

Gracias Yeny y Conchi:) Me gustaba mucho la semana con ustedes! La cama fue muy limpia y confortable:) La comida estaba unos de las más ricos de mi vida y la trabaja fue tranquilo y interesante. Estoy feliz de encontrar ustedes y pasar tiempo en ustedes casa! Gracias y hasta pronto!

Oh the wonderful, amazing Sabine 😊 How fortunate we were to have found each other. Sabine was absolutely fantastic 🤩 She looked after my house and my cat during the worst winter on record. Sabine took it all in her stride, never complained, never panicked, just simply dealt with each problem as it arose (and there were many). I am eternally grateful, and would not hesitate for a second to recommend her. Please come back soon, Squeaky misses you ❤️

Julien and Jeanne are a lovely couple from France i had the pleasure to host for one week. Together they make a perfect teamwork combining strength , precision, respect, and positive energy. During our week together we were working on a drywall and the results were amazing! Thank you guys again and hope to see you again :) !!

Sunny truly lives up to her name — she radiates positivity! She is simply incredible. It was a real pleasure having her by our side, both for the help she provided with tasks and for the wonderful person she is. Having Sunny on your team will undoubtedly be a real gift.

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better host and experience. From the very first day, I felt truly welcome and comfortable here. Francesco is an exceptional host – attentive, kind, intelligent and genuinely good-hearted. He always checked in to see how I was feeling and whether I needed anything, and at the same time he gave me space and independence, which I appreciated deeply. I felt trusted and free, not just accommodated. He is also an amazing cook! Sharing meals together was one of my favorite parts of staying here. There is something very special about food prepared with care and passion and it made this place feel even more like home. Spending time with him, with Orso and with Calimero made this experience unforgettable. Orso is such a wonderful dog – loving, loyal and full of personality. I already know I will miss him incredibly. And Calimero, the sweetest little cat, truly feels like part of the pack. Being around them brought so much warmth and joy into my days. I also had the opportunity to visit the surrounding areas, including Palermo, which made the experience even richer and more inspiring. The location of the house is truly ideal – you can walk to the town, but you can also reach the forest on foot. It offers the perfect balance between nature and daily life, peace and connection. Another thing I appreciated greatly was having enough time and calm space for my own work and for reading. I could fully focus when I needed to, but also enjoy meaningful conversations and shared moments. That balance meant a lot to me. Overall, I rate this experience far above average. It was not just a stay, it was a meaningful chapter filled with respect, warmth, freedom, good food, inspiring surroundings and beautiful company. I am deeply grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for something genuine and special. Thank you for everything 🤍

I was extremely fortunate to volunteer at hostel for the month of January for Marina and Victor. They are so nice and always making sure we volunteers were happy and they are super supportive and communicative. The hostel is very nice and also chill with a cool living room and wood stove that is perfect for connecting with the guests that come to visit. Somehow this place attracts just the nicest people! The work was good! Making beds and maintaining the cleanliness of the hostel. You're in a quiet neighborhood but just a 10 minute walk from the city center and also very close to the cable car to go visit the Millennium Cross. I greatly enjoyed Skopje and working at the hostel was really great and I highly recommend this place. I hope one day I'm able to return.

Merci à Maxime pour le temps passé avec nous ! Il est à la fois très discret et toujours présent quand il faut. Il nous a vraiment bien aidés (encore merci pour la vaisselle 😄) et c’était super sympa d’échanger avec lui.

Hi 👋 I had a great time in your place, you're both very good people, and you live in a beautiful place. I wish you the best, for you, your dogs, your cats... Thanks 🌲🐶

Staying at Nuri's place was a real pleasure, he's kind, and a very good cooker. We chop some wood, plant few trees, ate a lot of kiwis... Thanks 😊

Merci Marion pour ton heureuse participation et ta chaleureuse presence d’une semaine passée bien vite. Et ravi d’avoir pu débattre sans que sa ne pose probleme. Sa m’a permis d’ailleurs de me repositionner. Si un jours tu repasses, tu sera bienévidemment la bienvenue. Je te souhaites le meilleur! Bon voyage!

For the most part, we really enjoyed our experience here. The team are lovely and we were lucky enough to work with Moises who is a wealth of knowledge on Cacao and all other plants growing around the property. We contacted Kenzie 2 months beforehand agreeing that it would be a good fit on both sides, however one week before she announced that she was "changing the format" and were asked to pay $80 USD per person/per week for vegetarian meals. Despite being shocked by the large sum of money we still agreed as we had already made lots of plans around this workaway and were really looking forward to it. When we arrived, there were already 3 other workawayers there, who did not have to pay any money. This seemed very unfair and awkward and none of us understood why she was asking so much money for new volunteers. We also found that there were not enough tasks fot volunteers and it's very poorly organized. If it hadn't been for the money, we would have stayed the agreed length of stay, but this left a bad taste and definitely not in the spirit of Workaway.

The experience was wonderful, but the main reason to go is for Nuri himself. He's the definition of gentleman, well traveled, and very interesting over all. Nuri is quite knowledgeable all about the area alongside agriculture. If you like food, he's a phenomenonal chef and having fresh ingredients elevated his dishes. The work is farm work, so it will be difficult and tiring. However, as a first time workaway, he set the bar incredibly high. Trabzon area is beautiful and rich in history as well, which is lovely to visit. I cannot recommend Nuri enough, if you're on the fence about it, just go.

I stayed at their house for about 6 weeks. The tension melted away the moment I opened the front door and saw the children greeting me energetically and Jackson（their dog）happily greeting me as well. The whole family was very friendly from the beginning, and I was able to fit in right away.Even Jackson🐕️and Cleo🐈️ were wonderfully friendly too. Daily life was very relaxed, and I enjoyed cooking and taking Jackson for walks. Also I played with the children and helped with tidying up. I appreciate that I was able to do tasks which I wanted to do without being asked to do difficult things. I'm so glad my first Workaway experience was at their home. Thomas always answered my questions about things I was curious about and was considerate of me at all times. Elisabeth is a wonderful woman and mother, and she is very thoughtful as well. She is a great cook and my favorite chef👨‍🍳 Asta loves LEGO and is a sweet girl; I enjoyed playing games with her. Mira is very energetic, always moving around the house, likes lots of physical play, and talked to me a lot. If you are considering doing a Workaway, I highly recommend their home. They are used to hosting Workawayers and very nice people, so if you choose their home, I think it is a good idea to think about how you can contribute as a "family member" rather than a "guest" Also, they like people who talk a lot, so it would be good if you are someone who can communicate a lot.😊 I will definitely come back again during the summer🤍

Ariadne and Murray are both very kind, polite, and respectful people. They are clean, tidy, and always follow the house rules carefully. They help willingly and complete every task responsibly. The children really enjoy spending time with them and playing games together. They bring positive energy and create a warm, happy atmosphere in our home. We truly appreciate their help and would gladly welcome them back anytime. Thank you and wish you all the best :)
