Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

Vera filled in last minute and filled up her 7 days very productively, doing cleaning, washing, ironing, vacuuming and walking my dog Marshall most mornings and evenings. Vera’s work was at a high standard and she an Marshall got on very well. We even managed to fit in some fun board games and cards. Very happy to recommend Vera as a Workawayer.

Hi Lisa, thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed the 'chilled' atmosphere and those quiet morning coffees on the terrace. It was a pleasure having you as part of the team. Your energy really helped everyone connect and made the braais and movie nights even more special. We will miss your kindness and vibe around the house.

Ciara was a pleasure to host. She fitted in perfectly with our routine and walking Marshall, my dog on a regular basis. Housekeeping was excellent and she showed initiative when needed. Ciara did my large lawns perfectly . Very happy to host again and recommend to others.

I had such an amazing time here and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first Workaway experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt really welcome. The Marion and Rhys are so lovely and easygoing, and they made me feel at home straight away. They also took the time to show me around the area, which I really appreciated and made the whole experience even more special. The place itself is beautiful and peaceful a great spot to slow down and just enjoy being in nature. The work I did was mostly helping with gardening and sharing cooking. Everything was always clearly explained, so I never felt unsure about what to do. I really liked the balance between helping out and having time to chill or explore. One of my favourite parts was just sharing meals and having chats it made the whole experience feel really genuine and not just like “work.” Overall, I’m so grateful for my time here. It set such a high standard for my first Workaway, and I’d 100% recommend it to anyone. I’d definitely love to come back! Already missing ginger and Jingi!!

Luca and Mirko, it was such a gift having you guys with us for that month. You guys truly became part of the family, and your energy made the hostel feel even more like home for everyone else. We’re especially going to miss the nightly cooking sessions! The kitchen always smelled incredible when you two were in there, and seeing everyone gather around to share a meal was the highlight of our evenings. Thank you for bringing people together through your food and your kindness. We’re so glad you found those deep connections here in JBay. Would highly recommend Luca & Mirko for their kind, honest approach to the hostel, and always going the extra mile. You’ll always have a home here. Safe travels, and don’t be strangers Regards, Daryn, Kiera, and Jason

What can I say about the fellas….enthusiastic, fun, hard working guys. Almost every job I gave them was completed well and usually in half the time I expected. The garden is looking really great because of their work. They also helped get the worksite tidy and did a great job at scraping one of the 18th century ceilings. They were easy housemates to live with. They have a real passion for sport; running, cycling, basketball, football Thank you for your help and good company. Cool Beans!

This is such a great Workaway to get in touch with nature. I will never forget the three weeks I spent with the super host Xaver in his forest paradise. The food cooked and provided by Xaver was delicious, plentiful and of high quality, some of the best recipes I’ve ever had in my life. The laughter flowed with music, Bavarian beer and great food almost always after a day of physically challenging yet spirituality rewarding work. Thank you Xaver my friend for the teachings and the freedom you provided, I will be back to see you again very soon.

Marissa was with us for about 6 weeks. Great, hard worker. We had two 18th century ceilings in need of cleaning and reinforcing to save them for the next 100 years. Marissa got straight into the task despite it’s challenges. She was absolutely easy to get along, live and work with! Very prompt with her timings and clear in her communications and needs. A neat and tidy housemate. We were fascinated by the stories of her previous career experience. I sincerely respect her dedication to her writing and passion for history :) We would gladly host Marissa again.

We had a very positive experience during our two weeks with this family. From the beginning, communication was clear and everything agreed upon was respected, which made the whole experience smooth and easy. The tasks were well organized and the environment was always comfortable and respectful. The family is very welcoming. The mother is an excellent cook and provides high-quality meals, and she is also very pleasant to spend time with. The father is friendly and communicative, always willing to help and make you feel part of the home. Their daughters are very polite, intelligent, and full of energy. We truly enjoyed the time we spent with them. We would recommend this experience to volunteers looking for a well-organized, family-oriented, and friendly environment. We are very grateful for the opportunity and the trust during our stay.

Thank you for writing about us , We are happy always to host anyone . You follow our house rules and kind with us . Thank you for everything hannah .

We had the best time looking after Crosby, Tommy & Rosie! We miss them so much already! Tony is so friendly & helpful and has lots of amazing recommendations. It was such a nice experience and a great way to explore the less touristy areas of Japan. Kumamoto is a really peaceful and relaxing place with everything you need like shopping centres, great restaurants and a castle too! The surrounding area is also beautiful - we recommend for you to go to the Mt Aso area! Tony's home is perfect, it has everything you need to relax but also keep yourself busy. The work is very easy, just taking Crosby the dog out for walks twice a day, cleaning up after the cats and of course cleaning up after yourself, making sure the house is tidy 😊 We really recommend staying with Tony, Crosby and the two cats, we had such an amazing time and we hope we can see them all again one day 😊

Absolutely loved my experience here for my first workaway and wished I could've stayed longer than a month. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. I loved all the animals & taking care of them and it honestly set my bar pretty high it'll be hard to beat!

Fueron días maravillosos, conocerte, convivir, charlar, gracias por escucharme, por estar con las niñas para ellas, ayudarlas, consentirlas, gracias por todo. Me encantaría volver a tenerte en casa con tu familia. Besos y abrazos y disfruta esta maravillosa aventura.

Harriet es una mujer maravillosa, muy comprometida con las actividades de voluntariado, muy amable, tienes muchas buenas historias para contar y he disfrutado mucho el tiempo contigo. Gracias por tu tiempo, ayuda y por escogernos para contribuir a nuestro proyecto. Besos y abrazos, serás siempre bienvenida.

Stayed at Lisa’s place for 10 days and I had a great time there. Lisa is a great host as she made sure that I can manage my time to explore Blue Mountain and surroundings. Lisa even suggested places to visit based on my preferences. Overall, the task is light, as main Job is to accompany Aloy and a helped a bit on gardening and cleaning. Aloy is a sweet and cute golden retriever. As described, she loves to play and cuddled. If you are naturally someone who cares for a dog, and keen to explore Blue Mountain, I would say Lisa’s place can be at the top of the priority list.

We had a great time at Siri’s place. She is a wonderful person and amazing host. She is very generous and always willing to help with whatever you need and she is also sweet and kind. Teaching and playing with local kids was pure joy, they are so eager to learn and full of energy. Siri has created such a positive, safe and welcoming place for the kids, and it was an honour to contribute to it. We are leaving with a full heart and a wonderful memories. We will never be able to thanks Siri enough ❤️ Grazie Sara and Francesco

Tomas staying at the campsite for 2 weeks which i'm glad that he can help me to chase away the monkeys so that our durian trees is protected from the monkeys. when Maybe he's trying too hard that he snap my sling shot into half. :))) He also helps me watering the plants everyday as during his stay, we were having the dry season where we don't have any rains for few months. But overall, he's a good guy, can mingle with the other volunteers well and quiet independent.

My experience at La Poza Azul was everything I hoped for and more. Tomah is incredibly kind and welcoming. He learned me all sorts of new skills: working with nature and local materials, cooking from scratch (even chocolate from local cocao beans, so yummy!!) and he is a great Spanish teacher too. Every day was a new adventure. Living outside with an amazing view on the lake. Connecting with locals and making new friends. Playing with his dogs and cat. So fun! The place is quite remote, but it is perfect to slow down and really connect with the society. I worked in the morning and had the rest of the day off. Tomah is really flexible and chill. Communication went smoothly. He really wants the best for you. 10/10 would recommend. Can't wait to go back!!

I spent 2 weeks staying with Emma and Sam and it was incredible. They made me feel at home straight away and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The work I did was fun and rewarding. They have an amazing garden and all their fresh fruit and veg was so YUM. On my days off Sam took me on amazing adventures which I will remember forever. Thank you so much for everything!!
