Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

Adriana was a great house mate Fun to have around noting was too much trouble and she turned her hand to any task with a smile. Would love to see you back again sometime soon.

Together with my partner, we had a heartwarming experience at Peter and Laura's place in Biassa. We stayed for 2 weeks! We felt welcome from the first day and integrated into the routine of both housekeeping and work in the field. We helped Peter clear up a field and make it ready for the olive pruning, and we helped finish up the infrastructure and the irrigation system of a wineyard right inside the Parco Nazionale of Cinque Terre. We even went for a visit to the stunning village of Monasteroli, which Laura's family helped manage and preserve. We arrived as strangers, and we left as friends. One special mention to the star of the place: little Arno is in our hearts, we enjoyed spending time with him and seeing the world through his wondering eyes. We will definitely be back, and we surely recommend anyone to pay Peter, Laura, Arno and Indi a visit. There is a lot of work to do, a great passion to share and a lot of stairs to walk! Ciao belli, a presto <3

Gabi, you were great! You have been a joy to welcome on my quinta, and I miss your presence already. Without any hesitation I can recommend you to other Workaway hosts. Everything that is written in your profile is true and even more than that. You have a very positive attitude in your work, learned quickly and you were excellent in sharing your extended knowledge and skills. I loved your smile and energetic, positive, open-minded personality and you were fun to have around. My pets adored you! Once again, I hope you can return soon. Many thanks, Jurrie.

BRILLIANT!!!! Enno and William were a pleasure to host. They are an absolute breath of fresh air!! They make a great team. Enno is amazingly skilled and can turn his hand to anything. William is coconscious and fun to have around. If you get the chance to host either one of them do it don't miss out. I would have them both back tomorrow!!

Cannot thank enough Ju and Ju for their help, they cleared the whole hill of the property and showed me what the place can look like when you put hard work to it. They are also super fun to be around and great cooks, if you have the chance, host them. Looking forward for their return.

The three weeks I was there, were a blast! I‘ve had workaways with people before, but these three weeks were really special. cami made everyone feel comfortable and like home. I already miss the food she cooks. thank you for everything! hopefully see you soon

Having Beatriz on our hostel staff was a wonderful experience. She's a very friendly, sociable, and cheerful person, always willing to help and share with others. She came for a month but stayed for six. She really enjoyed the tranquility of our city and being close to the sea. We shared many great moments together that will remain in our memories: barbecues, music, dancing, games, walks, and good conversations. It was hard to let her go because she had become part of our family, but we know that she'll return someday. The doors of our hostel are always open for her whenever she wants to come back.

Sing stayed with us during January and February and was very reliable. Since he was mostly at home, we felt very safe having him as a housesitter. He conscientiously looked after our chickens and kept the house warm. As it was his first time seeing snow, tasks like shovelling took him quite a bit longer, but he was always dedicated. We especially appreciated his friendly and patient nature; he was always kind and even practiced English with our boys. Sing is a very trustworthy person and was a pleasant addition to our home. Thank you for everything!"

Christin è una ragazza splendida! Intelligente, solare, ironica, disponibile e molto attenta. Fin da subito la comunicazione è stata facile con lei, poi una volta arrivata è stato ancora più semplice grazie alla sua capacità di parlare 4 lingue (tedesco, inglese, spagnolo e italiano). Ci ha aiutato in tutto ciò che le abbiamo chiesto con impegno e determinazione gestendo in autonomia i ritmi fra lavoro e tempo per sé. Abbiamo chiacchierato, giocato a giochi di società, condiviso la tavola e i racconti in modo molto spontaneo e coinvolgente. La sua celiachia non è un problema perché Christin è molto attenta e capace di gestirsi e i pasti insieme sono stati molto sereni fra cibo condiviso e cibo nel rispetto delle sue esigenze. Siamo stati davvero contenti di ospitarla e aver fatto un pezzo di strada con lei, la sua presenza è stata molto bella e il suo aiuto nell'orto molto prezioso.

My feeling was good from our first contact. By phone Terezia asked me some questions that were well thought about. That was important because to come a long way with partner and 2 little children you want to know if the place can be suitable and be able to prepare the journey and staying.The most contact was with her since she was the one from the family who spoke the most English, but actually Lucas had a big vocabulaire in English as well and by the time they left even Jonas (5) was able to communicate in English. The family was very trustworthy and they took the tasks and jobs very serious. It was a variety of jobs spread over more then 3 months. From cracking nuts, to cut wood, planting, weeding, making a little fence, wiping leaves, mulching,helping to digging and repair water channels and more. The both kids were amazing . I felt a bit insecure about this because it was the first time to receive Workaway as a family. LUckelyb I had hang a swing already and there is a trampoline. It worked out the place is very suitable for kids and they loved it. We had several cosy meals together, sometimes at the fire pit and sometimes in the yurt, but they had there private family life as well. Very brave to come from so far and to deal with difficult situations as the land flooded, leaks because of the enormous amount of rain that fell, and physical complications. We managed them all together and became quit close towards the end . It was a precious time.

I had an incredible time at Ingrid’s place. Ingrid was very welcoming along my stay and I couldn’t imagine a better place to start my work away experience. During my stay I can’t confirm the prior experience of having to much hard work to do. It was absolutely manageable and because I was the only workawayer Ingrid helped me whenever it was necessary and was always reachable. What I can confirm is the rumours are true: Ingrids horses are truly amazing (I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with them) as Ingrid herself. She truly is a character herself and is really kindhearted, humorous and inspiring. I enjoyed the time we spend together. She even took me on a road trip Czechia and reminded me to take my off days and was really helpful on planing my day trip. I really would love to come back sometime and really can recommend everyone to stay at Ingrid’s. But as always communication is key so if something is boarding you just tell Ingrid, she won’t mind. At least that’s my experience ;)

Nick is a very nice and friendly person. easy going and picks up on things fast and doesnt mind trying and getting dirty.

Yasmin is very easy going and helpful and loves to share whatever knowledge she has to young and old

Sandra stayed with us here for about 2 weeks and it was a real pleasure. She was happy with the "studio" she stayed in and did several jobs. From planting yucas and seeding , till pulling lots of olive branches to a fire pit and help me to cut some fabrics on a rainy day. Beside that there was enough time for here to explore a bit the Alpujarras. It was lovely having her and good company! She took initiative and made some good proposals as well. It was very convenient for her to be here with a car and for me as well! We had a great day going out together to a beautiful meeting on the beach.

I'm so pleased to have met Riccardo and Veronica. They have been the most inspiring helpers we've ever had, coming up with many amazing ideas. They are very creative and motivated to contribute. I feel we have developed a great friendship also and will welcome their return.

I spent a full month at the reserve, and it was my first really great Workaway experience. The team of other volunteers was awesome, and after about a week of showing us the ropes, Carlos trusted us to work independently. We usually worked in the mornings, and since I was there in summer, we mainly focused on marking out trails. In the afternoons, the vibe at the house was super warm and relaxed, and there was plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful mountain landscapes all around. It’s the kind of stay you really want to experience fully, being mindful of nature and the remoteness of the place.The absolute highlight of the stay was one day when Carlos took us kayaking on a lake, to a birdwatching spot, and to meet the local Mapuche chief. All that’s left now is to get in touch with Carlos if it feels like a good fit for you—and send him a short video introduction ;)

Our experience with Angela and Ray was wonderful. From the very first moment we felt welcome; we immediately felt at home there... the cabin is brand new, set in a natural setting where peace reigns and the sound of birdsong woke us up every morning. They were clear from the start about the work to be done; we really appreciated their flexibility and the lunches we shared together. The icing on the cake was the experience in a cosy Irish pub; we would recommend a stay with them to anyone seeking an authentic experience in harmony with nature and wishing to receive a warm welcome. Slainte😃

It was a great experience hosting Angelina and Antoine, two big hearted fun people who are also very hard working.They took excellent photos and posted them on my profile.They have great marketing skills and knew exactly what to do to promote my business.They gave 200 percent into this project so i am very grateful to them for that.They have a great sense of humor and we had fun visiting the cool bars here.I highly recommend them to any hosts out there, and i hope they will visit me again.Thanks for everything guys all the best Dermot

I can’t say enough good things about this work away! The work was as described; hanging out flyers in town and setting up for events, hosting welcome drinks for the new hostel arrivals, and fostering a social atmosphere. The beach tour on Sunday is the longest day but ALWAYS enjoyable. I loved the little team of workawayers, you’re never working alone, and Galen is such a sweet and attentive host! In addition, the location and the facilities you have access to are absolutely beautiful. 10/10, couldn’t ask for more. Gracias a todos!!!

had such an amazing time here last october. was a great vibe, enjoyed the work and pure is an amazing cook :)) enjoyed harvesting vegetables and building a bamboo door. loved playing table tennis - even though pure would always win. went swimming in the pond, playing games with everyone and going on trips to see the temple and then chiang rai. hitch hiking back to chiang mai was also a great experience.
