Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

It was an absolute privilege to host Lila and we would have her back in a heartbeat. She was enthusiast to take on any task we had going, helped around the house without us asking, joined in with activities and was just a very easy person to host. We got a lot of jobs, inside and outside the house, including landscaping, gardening and painting completed with her help. We highly recommend Lila to other hosts. If you are lucky enough to have her request to visit grab the opportunity.

There is absolutely no host or place, who would not love to have Alanna & Heather´s sweet and responsible presence around. They are both just fantastic in all regards. They thrive in all kinds of different tasks and they would carry them out in a very smooth, efficient and most importantly enthusiastic way. It is refreshing also to see how much of a harmonic dynamic duo they are together. From the outside they look so cooperative and loving to each other and that reflects in the outstanding quality of everything they do, whether it is playing instruments together, conversing about wisdom, chores or household activities. They are also extremely reliable and communicative and having a lively and collaborative attitude. We absolutely love and miss their music contribution and incredible improvisational skills with them. Their evening irish concert in the cowshed were memorable and all the community members fondly remember their gentle and warm demeanor (included our dear cows! :) ) We are really hoping to cross their path again and wishing them all the best in their journey!

Perfecta para cuidar mascotas y ayudar en casa. Ella es una persona excelente y sabe escuchar y hacer muy bien su trabajo.

Monica was great to have in my home, she achieved wonders , water blasting, painting and reviving the garden. She had a mature and self managing attitude to work responsibilities and was always up for new tasks. As a mature workaway Monica was able to enjoy Waiheke and surrounds independently and make the most of her time here.

I stayed with Ghassab and his family for a little less than two weeks, and overall had a wonderful experience! It was a great place to slow down in my travels and really get to know Bedouin culture. Every morning and evening you sit alongside the family and enjoy the delicious food cooked by Ghassab’s sister. During the day you either take the goats out into the mountains with Ghassab’s mother, Nora, or spend the day with the sheep. On the goat days, you hike into the desert, through canyons, and hillsides. The landscape is beautiful and I really enjoyed slowing down and just enjoying the long walks/hike. On the sheep days I would bottle feed the baby sheep, mix the grain to feed the adult sheep and donkeys, and help Awath (a family friend who works with Ghassab) walk the sheep around to graze. I also made some wonderful friends who were staying with Ghassab for Workaway. One recommendation I would give is to learn some basic Arabic words and phrases before you come. I did not but I did learn a lot. Your days are long so you don’t have a lot of time to do exploring in neighboring towns after working, but Ghassab is flexible and gives days off when you ask. I took a day to explore Petra. Ghassab gave lots of recommendations you wouldn’t have known, which I really appreciated. I recommend this experience to anyone who likes to spend time outdoors, hiking, cultural exchanges, and animals. Thank you Ghassab and your family!

Dear Pierre, thank you so much for providing me such an authentic experience of rural Bulgaria! I enjoyed every moment of my stay, meeting the neighbors, working with them, going to traditional dances, eating local and healthy food. This list could continue... I felt very welcomed and loved the work and good talks with you, Pierre, and all the other interesting people that I met. I got the chance to experience unfiltered life in Bulgaria, a lifestyle that is very appealing to me. So I'm looking forward to coming back this summer and getting even deeper into the culture and it's tradition. I'm wishing you all the best and success with your ongoing projects!

This was my first experience with workaway, and I could not ask for a better host. Jin is an amazing, warm, kind, friendly, fun and hard working lady, respect her rules and you will have a once in the lifetime experience, she made sure we feel comfortable, and provided everything we needed, she also took her time to show us some beautiful places around Chiang Mai, including camping, which was an experience in itself. I will remember this workaway experience for the rest of my life, felt sad to leave. The team was also top tier, open minded people, we made friends for life, and the kids are just the cutest, and surprisingly intelligent, Definitely recommended!!

I had a really amazing time volunteering here! I felt so sad when I left. I painted, created some videos for social media and teached English to children, which is super fun :). The teaching is 3 times a week (Tuesdaymorning, Fridaymorning and Sundaymorning and -afternoon). Recently there are also two Chinese girls who we teached English to. All of the volunteering doesn’t really feel like work; everything is super relaxed, there is lots of free time to explore the area and live like a local :) The Village is small, but that's what I liked so much about it. It's a quiet place, surrounded by trees and birds. It's not a party place, but a place to chill, relax, bike to a nearby coffee place or the market, play some guitar or to just hang out with the other volunteers, which makes the experience even better! Pantila and Mae Nai make sure no day is the same, they are very flexible so if you prefer a certain trip they offer or cooking skill you'd like to learn, I'm pretty sure they will try to arrange this. A big thanks and hug to Pantila, Mae Nai, Buddy and the other volunteers who made this an experience I will never forget and will cherish in my heart <3

Conocer a Maggie ha sido un regalo para nosotros!! Lo mejor, su carácter alegre y abierto, pero además, tiene unos valores inmejorables, Maggie es educada, responsable, agradecida, respetuosa. bondadosa, humilde, empática y muy, muy trabajadora. Hemos trabajado duro en el jardín y hemos aprendido inglés, ha sido una gran profesora del idioma. En resumen, Maggie es una muchacha de 10!!! Espero que su aventura siga dándole todo lo bueno que ella merece, y que sus futuros anfitriones, puedan aprovechar y valorar sus virtudes. Maggie, te deseo mucha suerte en tu vida, en Alcañiz tienes a tus amigos, y puedes venir cuando quieras a visitarnos. Hasta pronto!!!

Pietro a été un workawayer exceptionnel, Je le recommande sons hésiter, il mettait la joie de vivre il était toujours appliqué dans son travail et avait le désir de bien faire! Il ne rechignait pas non plus sur ses heures! On le recevra une prochaine fois avec plaisir! Meloïca

Irene a été une wokawayer exceptionnelle, Je la recommande sons hésiter, elle mettait la joie de vivre elle était toujours appliquée dans son travail et avait le désir de bien faire! On la recevra une prochaine fois avec plaisir!

I had a truly wonderful experience volunteering here. I helped with social media and enjoyed contributing to a meaningful project while learning so much along the way. I met people from all over the world, learned about the local culture, and gained a deeper understanding of elephants and their protection. There was a big group of volunteers, which created a great sense of community, and from the beginning I felt very welcome — so much so that I decided to extend my stay because it really felt like home. I was happy and grateful to be part of a project like this. I enjoyed my time a lot and would absolutely do it again.

I would like to thank Tara and her family again for hosting me. They were very kind and friendly with me and they always made me feel comfortable. My tasks were to take the kids to school, pick them up, and drive them to their sports activities. They are full of energy, very polite, and nice to spend time with. We ran, played Shangai, and chess (David was too strong for me!!). I also want to thank Tara for the opportunity to eat the food they cooked, especially an amazing cake! They also let me use their car during the weekends, so I was able to travel and visit different places that I really recommend, like Cork, Cobh, and the Ardmore Cliffs. During my stay I could speak English every day, and I feel that I improved my basic level. This was my first Workaway experience and I am very happy and satisfied with how it went. I recommend Tara and her family to everyone!

For four months I stayed in the studio and for those four months I was at home. Natalie and Alok have been very generous, understanding, intuitive and considerate. The mood is serene balanced with an abundance of wildlife and other furry friends. The expectations are always well within reason and will not hesitate to return if the opportunity arises. Miss you all 🫶♥️

Marina and Allan came to help me during one of the craziest moments of my life. I had to move from my 300 m² house in Normandy to my tiny 21 m² flat in Paris! They were so helpful and cheerful that I can never thank them enough. They also made a great team with my 15-year-old son, Paolo. We shared many good conversations, lots of love, and wonderful musical moments. Marina and Allan are very easy-going, autonomous, helpful, and truly considerate. I’m sure we’ll see each other again very soon.

I am so thankful that my first WorkAway experience was with America and Marcos here in Asturias. They taught me so much and seriously changed my perspective on so many things- food, climate change, possible ways of life, etc. Also, importantly, these two are serious climate chaos activists. They stick to their words and live by their sustainable philosophy. Their profile and the contents they share here are truthful and important to understand. They seriously are so metal, so badass, so powerful in their lifestyle. Thank you to Marcos and America for always teaching me so much around a dinner table of delicious, healthy, thoughtful food. ------ Estoy muy agradecida de que mi primera experiencia WorkAway fuera con América y Marcos aquí en Asturias. Me enseñaron muchísimo y cambiaron radicalmente mi perspectiva sobre muchas cosas: la comida, el cambio climático, las posibles formas de vida, etc. Además, y lo más importante, estos dos son activistas serios contra el caos climático. Cumplen con su palabra y viven según su filosofía sostenible. Su perfil y el contenido que comparten aquí son veraces y es importante comprenderlos. Son realmente muy metaleros (metal? macarra? duro? no sé como tradaucir) y muy poderosos en su estilo de vida. Gracias a Marcos y América por siempre enseñarme tanto alrededor de una mesa con comida deliciosa, saludable y considerada.

Una gran persona y un gran amigo. Es mas de lo que uno pueda imaginarse. Ojala nos veamos pronto. Gracias infinitas por todo

Son la pareja mas apañada del mundo! Lo recomiendo totalmente! Me ayudaron muchisimo y inspiro mucho su manera de pensar. Ojala nos veamos pronto!

I stayed in arctic Norway for 3 weeks in January/February and thanks to Ines it was absolutely unforgettable. She is super welcoming and easy to talk to. I immediately felt at home and we had a lot of conversations about many different subjects. Her horses and cats are really friendly, curious and enjoy lots of attention. It is clear that they are loved and well taken care of. The chickens also have their own paradise. The surrounding is absolutely gorgeous with mountains, snow and sea around the house. Ines provided snowshoes, a sledge and a typical Norwegian ‘spark’, which made it extra fun to explore the nature. The first 2 weeks I saw the northern lights almost every day, the last week was a bit too cloudy but therefore also warmer. It was exceptionally cold (up to -16) this January, but I have also had a little rain when the temperature was around zero. The daily work in winter consisted mainly of cleaning the horsepoo from the tracks, feeding the horses and playing with or training the horses. I also liked to help with some repair work and cooking. I found it especially interesting to experience all the challenges that the arctic winter brings with it, such as dealing with snowed in doors, frozen horsepoo and preventing frozen water pipes. It was very flexible which days were free and I drove to Tromsø a few times with Ines, so I could do something in the city while she was at work. I can definitely recommend to go skiing, it is a very unique experience to ski to the sea while the sun is setting. I also liked to visit the Troll museum, Polar museum, tourist shops, cafes and the public library. During my stay Ines travelled for a few days, leaving me and another workawayer to take care of the animals and the house. She had explained everything clearly and made sure we had all the groceries we wanted, so we had a great time and it was really nice to be trusted. All in all I am so grateful I could stay with Ines at this amazing place and would definitely recommend!
