Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

The property is beautiful : having a view of the landscapes while relaxing in the middle of the forest was truely a great experience. The working conditions are fair, we were managing our own time as we wanted, doing 4 to 5 hours per day, collecting wood and building wood storages. Outside of work, we had plenty of activities to do such as cutting wood, heating the guest house and visiting the surroundings. Thomas hosted us very well by helping us without considerations, sharing his lifestyle and knowledge but also the local food, that he cooked perfectly every time ! After talking and laughing a lot with him, we can't encourage you enough to try this amazing stay by yourself. Thank you Thomas for everything ! Noa and Mathieu

Anna was a wonderful companion, and despite the chilly winter weather, we had a really enjoyable time together. Whenever the weather allowed, we spent time outside, and when it was too cold, we warmed ourselves by the fireplace, had engaging conversations, and even sang together. She contributed enthusiastically to a variety of tasks, from gardening to helping me with home renovations—especially grouting walls—which really helped me speed up creating my space. Apart of being hardworking and reliable person, I find her fun and engaging to talk to, our conversations were always interesting and respectful, allowing us to open up to different perspectives and learn from each other. I would highly recommend her to any host; she’s the kind of volunteer who brings energy, curiosity, and warmth to both work and daily life.

Doro stayed with us for 2 weeks and was helpful to the team. She took a little while to understand our system but once she got it she was helpful and the dogs enjoyed her love and attention. We appreciate Doros time and effort and wish her all the best with future experiences.

This review is for Cecilia only as she came to our experience alone. Cecilia was a star. She was caring, understanding and passionate about our work. She put in effort for the dogs and took great care of them as well as being very supportive to her teammates. We appreciate Cecilia’s time and dedication and hope she’ll be back to visit again one day! Highly recommended

Viky stayed with us for over 2 weeks and was hardworking and very helpful to the team. She helped taking good care of our dogs and puts in effort to tasks assigned. We appreciate Viky and the time she gave to our dogs. Recommended and welcome back anytime

I had a great week volunteering on this farm back in December. Cik Lah, Munira and their family have created something very special in their little corner of Perak. Everything was smoothly organised and tasks well explained, and communication easy. I left with a full heart and wishing I could have stayed much longer!

At the large farm of Jochen and Sonta we experienced some of the most beautiful moments of our lives. We met two wonderful people who generously offered us their hospitality. We are grateful for all the lovely days we spent together with them. We stayed for almost a month and became so close to this couple that we now consider them our family. I thank God that we were lucky enough to meet them.

Even though it was a shorter stay than expected, I really enjoyed it. Tee and Al are such nice people, always calm and friendly and open for a laugh. It was a pleasure to get an insight into the horse wisdom project. I will never meet horses again without paying attention to how I make them feel. Thank you for that! The work was easy to do with all necessities provided and it was a welcome change to get my hands dirty. And the greatest thing ever about the stay: the views! Amazing landscape, lots of birds and gumtrees. You really created a unique place with your farm. Thank you for hosting me! :)

Silas stayed with us for two weeks. He cycled from the Netherlands to Denmark during snowy winter and temperatures far below 0°C 🥶. He was a big help with things we needed help with, and also made some extra projects. It was easy to talk with him and to agree on how to do things, and he came with some good ideas, for example how to fill in an empty space in the kitchen, between the fridge and the dishwasher. He is skillful with tools, precise and willing to try new things. We are really happy that he reached to us, and that we hosted him. Good luck, and wish you all the best Silas 😊👋 Tonka & Ivan

had an amazing volunteering experience at this farmstay. The farm is run by three brothers who are incredibly welcoming and passionate about their work. During my stay, I helped harvest cumin, which was a really interesting and rewarding experience. It felt great to be part of the daily farm activities and learn more about traditional farming. One of the highlights was the food. All the meals were cooked over an open fire, which gave everything a wonderful, authentic flavor. Sharing these meals together made the experience even more special. The mud huts were fantastic—simple, comfortable, and very cozy. Staying there made me feel really connected to nature and the rural lifestyle. Overall, it was a beautiful experience full of learning, great people, and peaceful surroundings. I highly recommend this farmstay to anyone who wants to experience authentic farm life and meaningful volunteering.

Daniel and Orsi stayed with me for 10 days in February / March 2026. They were a great help and very willing to take on a wide variety of tasks. They did a wonderful job in the laneway garden with weeding, watering and mulching the plants. They helped me in the ceramics studio and picked up clay recycling techniques really quickly. Everything was kept neat and tidy in the house and it was really interesting for me to hear about their adventures in Sydney and travels around the world. I highly recommend Daniel and Orsi as great workawayers.

Axel & Smilla were a delight. They worked hard and showed incredible adaptability to address a variety of tasks, including caring for our younger animals to designing and building an impressive enclosure for rescued wildlife. What ever the task, they tackled it with enthusiasm & intelligence. They got on really well with the other workawayers both older and younger & fitted comfortably with our family adding to a very enjoyable family meals with lively conversations. They cooked us several utterly delicious Swedish meals and Smillas baking and deserts are to die for ;-) They are a mature and capable couple and we recommend them highly, and would love to see them return.

Beautiful accommodation right on the lake. Work is primarily in the garden and is not strenuous. Big lunch and dinner + campfires most nights, great vibes. Bring some books because there is lots of down time and bring some method for purifying your water. Josh and Calebu are super friendly and will make sure you have everything you need

I stayed for just 2 nights at the garden hotel with Mr. Dembe. We visited his beautiful farm and overall had a very chill relaxing time. He has many great stories from his travels and takes good care of guests

Great place to be if you like engineering and plastics recycling manufacturing. There's a lot of opportunities to learn and be hands-on about the process and the machines👍

Although it was a short stay, I am so grateful for the time I spent with Bien. As this was my first Workaway, I was a bit nervous at first, but Bien was incredibly welcoming. She truly respected my background and made a sincere effort to understand my culture. We had wonderful conversations about each country's custom, politics, and lifestyle. Every talk we had really broadened my mind. My tasks included trimming trees, tidying up the garden, and moving some pillars. Even though I visited in winter, I can only imagine how beautiful the place must be in spring and summer— please send me some photos when the flowers bloom! I also fell in love with her three dogs. They are big and energetic, yet so intelligent and affectionate. And I have to mention—Bien is a fantastic cook! The lasagna and meatballs she prepared were absolutely delicious. This experience inspired me to become a host myself in Japan one day. I want to share the best of Tokyo and Japan with travelers, just as Bien did for me. Thank you for everything!!

We had Isaline with us for two and it was great! She's friendly and reliable, communication was easy. She listened well and worked with application. She got well along with our other Workawayer and with the all family, inclusive our 2 y.o. daughter. It was a very good experience to host and work with Isaline, I would definitely recommend!

I loved volunteering here so much it was hard to leave after nearly 3 months. It really felt like home. I adored the dogs, Bateria and Choco, and the cats. I had the pleasure of meeting Milto and his family and they are wonderful people. Milto's parents are good people - his mother is incredibly sweet and kind. His father is a funny guy, and I enjoyed the communication barrier because it gives me the chance to learn how to communicate without words and also learn a few Greek words and phrases. Himara is beautiful and the hostel is as well. I hope to return someday. My words for other future volunteers is to take good care of the hostel, treat volunteers and guests with consideration and kindness, and enjoy the beautiful nature! Thank you, Milto, for having me - I enjoyed working at the hostel!

Fynn spent two weeks with us and It was a good time. It's a reliable person, easy to be around. Communication was fluid and he got very well along with our other Workawayer, so we had nice working atmosphere. I'm grateful for the help and would definitely recommend to host Fynn. Oh and he also had a good contact with our 2 y.o. daughter, she still speaks about him.

My time here was truly incredible. Everyone was exceptionally kind and helpful, and we shared so many laughs and wonderful conversations. The work was a lot of fun, and I learned an incredible amount about coffee cultivation and organic farming. The farm itself is a paradise, with beautiful views of the mountains and surrounding nature, and the house is absolutely lovely. Deepa is an amazing woman, and I am very grateful for everything she did for us and for always supporting us with any questions we had. The food was absolutely delicious—I honestly can’t remember the last time I ate so well and so much! We were also very lucky to experience both a festival and a wedding during our stay. I’m truly grateful that we were invited to be part of these special celebrations; it was a unique and unforgettable experience. I had such a peaceful and wonderful time on the farm. It was definitely one of my best Workaway experiences, and if I ever return to Nepal, I will absolutely come back again! :)❤️❤️
