Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

Hosting Sara from Norway this past month has been an absolute joy. She is incredibly kind and always ready to help, noticing what needs to be done without even being asked. Her sense of responsibility and dedication are truly impressive; whatever task she takes on, she does it carefully and thoughtfully. Sara is also wonderfully autonomous. You can trust her completely — she organizes herself, manages her time well, and approaches her work with seriousness and care . We shared beautiful moments, and meaningful exchanges. She is not only a great Workawayer but also a truly interesting and inspiring person to have around. I wholeheartedly recommend her — any host would be lucky to welcome her into their home.

Our stay with Therese and Henk was simply wonderful. Despite continuous rain and storms, we battled bramble bushes, ivy, and giant cacti, pruned olive trees, cleared the river of undergrowth, and shaped the vegetable garden. We also planted flowering perennials everywhere, which starting this year are meant to delight Henk's and Therese's eyes. All the work was done together with them as a team. All the meals were provided. Therese is a wonderful cook (5 stars) and created the most delicious lunches and dinners for all of us. We really enjoyed the time together and the warm hospitality! It was simply lovely!

Liam was one of the very best helpers we ever had, Even without any special skills he did wonderful work ,such as painting a wall and three doors in the new helpers bedroom, After that he was honestly extremely helpful putting new floorboards, even he have never seen this before,.. On another big (very big) project here , Liam was again extremely helpful by clearing our a overwhelming amount things in our new workshop,.. We can never thank him enough for all that ! Even helped building a brand new workbench and tools panel,.. Always joyful and in for a joke we spend most of the time together in a harmonious way,... Liam was also fantastic with our horses an our dog, who miss them now he is back to home To all future hosts,...Not letting Liam join your project would be a sin ! Thank you again dear friend for all what you have done for us !

I spent a lovely 3 weeks with Deisy and Henri in Marino! They were super welcoming and clear about expectations from the start and I felt like I slotted into their routine right away. The work is generally about helping them with daily tasks or home maintenance and projects, most of the time we worked together though occasionally I was given a task to complete independently. The hours are more than fair, I was even able to attend Italian language classes in Rome in my free time. It was a rainy few weeks so I didn't get to see much of the Castelli Romani, but it is a naturally rich area with beautiful scenery. We spent a few evenings playing video games or at the pub, they introduced me to so many local recipes that I can't wait to try out at home! Henri is a phenomenal cook with loads of ambitious projects and Deisy is caring and determined, we had some great laughs and interesting conversations! Vi auguro il meglio e tanto successo per vostri progetti, spero che ci rivedremo :)

I had such a lovely time with Daniel and Yachiyo, they are so easy to get along with and worked wonderfully. Highly recommended!! They feel like old friends.

Anouk was a very good Workawayer for me. She got along well with everyone, very helpful and cheerful. After spending time with her, I will stake my reputation on a full endorsement of Anouk as an excellent choice for a Workaway.

Yannik is a nice guy with a good sense of humour. He helped us paint the gym and with gardening. We allowed his cat also to stay and my dogs and cat were OK with his cat. Yannik is quite young and needs supervision, best to let him work his own timeline and eat when he is hungry which is most of the time. It was handy that he has the van so is independent to come and go. his English is perfect.

I spent 2 and a half weeks in Popayan. I did a variety of things for my volunteering here. I participated in English conversation nights three times a week. I prepared a presentation about Canada and shared it with each of the English classes and once for guests. I went on the Peace Walking Tour with Melania and then worked with her to translate one part of her tour into English. All the people involved, from the staff to the students are so kind and welcoming. Miguel always went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable, it felt like I was staying with family. This place really feels like a community. Popayan itself is a very chill city. It has wonderful food, the best menu del dia I’ve had while traveling, as well as cute cafes with great coffee and excellent ice-cream shops! I really enjoyed the walking tours and learning about Popayan and the history and culture here. I recommend this place to volunteer and to explore Popayan! I would love to come back some day :)

We had the opportunity to welcome Andy into our home. From the moment I saw him at the bus station, I knew he would be a great volunteer, and I wasn't wrong. He's truly a very dedicated young man, a lover of reading and exercise. A very hard worker, he put a lot of effort into the garden and the carpentry. Thank you so much, Andy. May God bless your journey.

I had a really lovely experience staying with them for two weeks of house and pet sitting. Even though I only saw them at the beginning and the end, they were very kind, explained everything clearly, and made me feel comfortable and safe in their home. The house is beautiful, with an amazing view and great walking opportunities nearby. The dog is wonderful — very sweet, energetic, and always happy to go outside. The cat is also very affectionate and gentle, and I truly enjoyed spending time with both of them. Overall, it was a great experience and I’m very grateful for the opportunity. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Monsieur Safa. At your age, to be thinking and planning projects that will include people who will be offering tour guides, will run a bakery place, and will manage a chicken farm… All I can say is that I hope I will have the same enthusiasm when I reach your age… if I reach your age. Future volunteers, if you are interested in history, archeology, religion and rock formations, and you speak Russian or French, look no further. Thank you Safa.

Elisa is an incredible human being who brings sunshine and light with her. She never stops smiling and is one of the kindest human beings you'll ever meet. Everything we asked of Elisa, she did and nothing was ever too much trouble for her. Despite having limited experience with dogs she was happy to get involved and in particular was incredibly kind and patient with Mickey. We would have absolute no hesitation in recommending Elisa and hope she'll come back for a visit soon 🙏

Amazing place! Sandra is the nicest person ever! She does everything she can to make you feel comfortable and the house is very pretty. She's just lovely and the work was fun. Always something new and exciting. Tatanka is a well trained dog and nice to go on walks with! 10/10 experience would recommend to everyone! I'll come visit again!!

Having Graziano here with us was a pleasure. Always in a good mood, he brought into the house those positive vibes that I really value, and he blended perfectly into the everyday rhythm of our life. He is a great conversation partner and, above all, a very good listener — a rare quality nowadays. Highly recommended to all future hosts

We wound up booking with Michael when a workaway we had booked previously didn't work out due to poor communication. This was a perfect example of trusting the process. Staying at Michaels was great. Sure it's not for everyone, you have to be self motivating, sufficiant, communicative and no matter what you are doing put some love and care in it. In return you get flexibility, appriciation and a chill relaxed enviroment. I have a feeling this will not be the last time we meet. Highly recommend.

From the moment they arrived at our farmhouse, in rural Northern Germany, they brought warmth, curiosity, and positive energy into our home. For it being their first Workaway experience, we were deeply impressed by how open-minded, hardworking, and adaptable they were. They truly embraced life here — not just the renovation projects, but our family, our village, and the cultural exchange that makes this kind of experience so special. Over the six weeks Marayke and Will stayed with us, they helped tremendously with renovation work on our old farmhouse. Doing renovation work ourselves for almost thirty years now, we have rarely seen anybody approaching even the most complicated tasks with this degree of care, reliability, astonishing accuracy, and the willingness to deliver the best result possible. It was great to see how Marayke and Will tackled one construction challenge after the other. But what made their stay so meaningful went far beyond the work. Marayke and Will became part of our daily life. They shared their stories, their traditions, and their recipes. Our dinner table was filled with laughter, thoughtful conversations, and wonderful cultural exchange. They connected beautifully with our dog Willem and it was lovely to see that bond form so naturally. Hosting them reminded us exactly why we love this exchange — the friendships, the shared experiences, and the inspiration that comes from welcoming the world into your home. We are incredibly grateful for the time we spent together and already miss them dearly. Any host would be lucky to welcome Marayke and Will — we recommend them wholeheartedly and without hesitation.

Anton was really a 'gift from heaven'. At the moment that he came, we just started with quite a big project, to renovate the entire palm roof of the Tambo. Specialized workers came to do that, but the 'old' palm was everywhere, and Anton was there to collect, move and pile up all the old palm. Apart from that, he helped my daughter with her English classes, which she very much like, because Anton is calm, very kind and patient. All three of us (my kids and me) we very much enjoyed the company of Anton during his two weeks stay at our place. We highly recommend him.

Daniel fue un voluntario increible, siempre con muy buena disposición, hizo a la perfección y más las tareas que se le adjudicaba, siempre con una sonrisa, tranquilo, y muy dispuesto!... nos ayudó bastante en el Refugio y en otra obra que tenemos. Sin duda lo recomendamos en sus próximos voluntariados!. Gracias Dani y buen resto de viaje!
