Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

Yo pasé casi 2 semanas con Vale, y fue increíble. Primero, Vale es una mujer muy amable y interesante, y me gustó mucho conocerla y aprender de su vida. Aprendí muchas palabras Chilenas también :). Su casa está colocada en un lugar maravilloso, con árboles de manzana, membrillo, higo, ciruela, y más. Sus trés perritos son muy amables. El trabajo era muy manejable. Yo hice tareas como colocar mosquiteras, podar arbustos, quitar malas hierbas, retirar la fruta caída, y limpiar la piscina. También le ayudé con hacer puré de manzana. Afuera de las tareas, me aproveché mucho de dormir mucho, hornear, y recargar las baterías después de viajar para 3 meses. Ahora me siento lista para continuar. Muchas gracias por todo, Vale!

It was absolute pleasure having Kae staying with us. She is a bright, funny and respectful young woman. We have shared many wonderful days together. My son Sasha and Kae has talked endlessly about Pokémon. 🤪 Kae has surprised us (on a very last day 😫😫) with her beautiful voice. We miss you and looking forward to seeing you again soon. Good luck kiddo!

Illaria was amazing. Not only does she make amazing meals but she pitched in and helped without being asked. She saw what needed done and just did it. Her personality is amazing. Always smiling and happy. She is a great conversationalist. Her English is almost perfect. This is one Workawayer that I truly hope she visits again. Trust me, if she offers to cook, let her! Everything she made was amazing. And her painting skills are professional quality. I wished we could have found the time to show her sites around here but situations arose that kept us home. And she didn’t complain about it, not a single time.

I loved my stay here! Such a great project with great people in a magic location. After a long time travelling it was so nice to stay a few weeks with a daily routine, surfing in the morning (walk to the beach is beautiful even if a bit far, 30' to the water), manual work for the hostel, great meals everyday and then chill in the evening with the sound of nature around. The team I was working with was very dynamic and everyone wanted to help as much as they could. There was no strict schedule and as many breaks as you want, doing as much as you can but everyone was giving the maximum. The project evolved very quickly when I was there, mainly working on the new dorm but could also do some side missions when not needed in the main task such as a surf rack I designed and produced one day. Anyway, I would definitely recommend this place if you want to help a great project, do some manual work and find some peace with routine and nice people.

What a treat it was to be able to help out in the household of Daniela, Ray and, of course, Konnie. I felt completely at home and the whole atmosphere was wonderful. I was absolutely delighted that I was able to stay for longer. Daniela and Ray are incredibly kind and do everything they can to ensure you have a fantastic stay. Konnie is such a lovely, sweet girl and great fun to play with. The food is fantastic; Ray is such a brilliant cook. The work is really enjoyable and they do their best to give you the tasks that suit you best. There’s also plenty to do in the local area. You’ll have plenty of time and opportunities to explore. Don’t hesitate to come here – you’re sure to have a fantastic time.

My week-long stay with Ollie was just wonderful. He's such a kind man, I felt completely safe as a solo female traveler, his two kids are so sweet, and the work was pretty varied and manageable (only 3hrs a day). With a car his place is SO close to town and to the gorgeous beaches in the area. A really peaceful and great experience :)

Paula es una mujer estupenda, independiente y dispuesta, se entregó al trabajo y ha sido de gran ayuda. También compartimos ratos de ocio muy gratos.Respetuosa, cariñosa y agradable, un gusto tenerte en casa Paula, mis mejores deseos en tu caminar.

Out of the many volunteers we have hosted, Frank is one of those characters that stands out as one of the favourite/Best, being a dedicated, self-motivation, highly skilled professional with a consistent work ethic. He maintains a youthful vitality that puts most of the other young volunteer to shame. His natural charisma and friendly demeanor make him a joy to be around, and his engaging life experiences bring his unique perspectives that he's gained along the way making him truly wonderful person to meet. Those stories don’t just entertain—they inspire and uplift everyone fortunate enough to listen. His ability to share personal journeys with warmth, fun and a authenticity adds depth to his presence, making him a memorable and cherished figure in any setting.

Being on this magical jungle farm was impactful and inspiring. Michael is a true visionary, he really is creating a little paradise. It feels far away from everything, in all the best ways. It felt easy to get into the natural rhythms of taking care of the animals and the land. The regenerative principles make a lot of sense when you become a deep observer of nature. The soil projects are fascinating, we loved learning more about biochar and infusing the earth with beneficial microbes. There are so many little projects happening on this land, that tasks can really vary, we enjoyed being a part of so many of these little pieces, I wish we could have stayed longer. We brought our two little boys on this adventure and since coming home, they longingly bring it up daily. We all feel so grateful to have had this enriching experience and plan on returning.

Dasiel and Sam are the absolute best !!! From the moment I stepped onto Luna (the beautiful sailboat) Dasiel and Sam made me feel safe, comfortable and apart of the family they have cultivated down in key west. Unbelievable hospitality, exciting boat projects and plenty of time to put your toes in the sand are just the beginning of the opportunities here at this Workaway. I couldn’t have possibly imagined a better month and a half in key west. The fridge was always stocked, the days were planed well, and the vibe on the boat was unmatched. Dasiel was extremely generous with his time and was both patient and respectful to all levels and expertise when it came to the boat projects. I leave key west with a much stronger knowledge of boat projects/ sailing and a feeling that I have made some friends for life. Thank you Dasiel and Sam.

Valerio and Janis are such sweethearts. They stayed with us for a month and both fit in so very well with our family. They are very easygoing, and nothing is ever a problem for them. The lads helped tidy up our second house after renovations and always worked on their own initiative. They were an amazing help at home — I was able to leave all the cooking to them, and they created awesome dishes and cakes. They also took care of the laundry and generally picked things up very quickly. They are trustworthy and always ready to help with whatever is needed, or simply just hangig around — whether that was reading, chatting, or playing board games. They truly immersed themselves in our family life, and we all felt like they were part of it. They took a massive load off my shoulders, allowing me to be a happier, more present mum to my boys. And moreover they have had me practicing the fussball even though the conditions were sometimes unfavourable. <3 They both love the outdoors, enjoy hiking, and are very capable of looking after themselves Such an amazing pair — we, our friends, our neighbours and most of all my kids loved them. Highly recommend them!

Wonderful hosts, i enjoyed my stay and felt welcomed and loved Andre and Pat are very generous we shared loads of beautiful memories and knowledge Thank you so much love to you 🙏🏽 Gratidão

I thoroughly enjoyed my week with Ruth, Mark and family. It was great to help with different aspects of the olive harvest and be part of the community of friends, family and neighbours who came together to make this happen. I felt completely welcome and part of the family, well fed and very comfortable. The dogs and cats were plentiful, as were fresh fruit and veggies from the garden. Sunsets, starry skies, a trip to the giant fig tree, the stunning Paparoa Walkway, felted soaps, card games, feijoas and freshly pressed olive oil . . . fantastic! Thank you all.

A wonderful week for my first Workaway. I loved being accepted into a warm and welcoming family, living simply but well. The work was varied and I had an opportunity to learn more about native tree planting and hear Te Teo Māori used in an everyday way. The town and beaches of Raglan were also easily reached on the bus from the end of the road for time off. Many thanks Tiaki, Madelin Tāwhai and Māhina, and best wishes for the future.

Although It was only for 12 days, it was great to have Alyssa here. Regardless of her skills, she was always eager for learning new stuff, including Portuguese! Also, Alyssa is one of those beings that does her best to be a better version of herself. Even sometimes when there was some noise in the communication (normal human language and social differences), Alyssa shown humbleness and openness for listening, accepting, improving and sharing her perspective. I highly recommend her and hope that our paths may cross again. Abraço e até breve...

Annika war 6 Wochen im Februar und März bei mir. Sie hat die zu verrichteten Aufgaben schnell gelernt und selbstständig ausgeführt. Mit den Hunden kam sie sofort super zurecht und ihre Begeisterung für sie war sehr schön zu beobachten. Auch um die Welpen hat sie sich super gekümmert und man konnte ihr schnell vertrauen. Mit ihrer fröhlichen, freundlichen und netten Persönlichkeit hat das Zusammenleben und die Freizeit viel Spaß gemacht und ich wünsche ihr noch tolle weitere Erfahrungen mit Workaway!

What a great experience with both.they could not have been better volunteers in all ways. I highly recommend both of them you will not be disappointed

Liru is a very kind and ambitious person. During her stay with us, she taught English to the children with great enthusiasm and also supported some of our English teachers, which was very helpful for the team. She is active, positive, and always willing to contribute. The students appreciated her presence and energy in the classroom. Unfortunately, Liru had to leave earlier than expected due to an urgent personal matter. However, during the time she spent with us, she showed great commitment and left a very good impression. We are grateful for her contribution and we wish her all the best for the future. She is always welcome back.

Anna and Fabrizio are very generous and gracious people. We enjoyed working with them very much. The work was fun and not too much and afterwards Anna always had great recommendations about what to do in the area. They always listened to what we had to say and paid attention to our needs. We would love to stay again anytime!
