Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

Breanna and Aiden was a wonderful couple, great personalities ! We knew we can absolutely trust them from the first time we had chat to introduce each other. Unfortunately we did not have more tasks for them other than sitting our dog Shake as it was obvious that they were smart,ready to help and enthusiastic about this opportunity. You are lucky if they choused YOU as their host! We hope to host them again at some point. They are always in good mood, flexible, respectful and easy going and ready to help. What else one could wish for?! We wish if we they could stay longer with us Until next time, stay well and take care!

We were very lucky and grateful for Alberte’s help on our property! Absolutely would recommend :)

Lukash(Raki) is a great fellow, always into a joke and generally a pleasant guy to have around! He’s knowledgeable about many things and anything you’ll ask him to do he’ll approach with enthusiasm! We had a great month together here with a group of volunteers and he was definitely a person to encourage the others to give the best of themselves ! Highly recommended Workawayer!

I spent a week with Paula and Ramon and felt very much at home. It was an inspiring week! Together, we looked at the various projects and tasks that needed to be done on their property and brainstormed ideas. In the end, I built a dry stone wall for a future path. I really enjoyed the work. They trusted me with my knowledge but also supported me wherever they could. They’re also very well-equipped with tools and machinery. In return, Ramon taught me how to weld. Besides the work, they introduced me to the Italian culture and their beautiful home, with trips around their land or to the weekly market. They also welcomed me to fun pizza nights with friends or just sitting together with nice talks. The two of them are a creative, inspiring couple and still have lots of cool ideas and projects they want to bring to life. Thanks again for your hospitality and the wonderful time:)

Through my second Workaway experience and one-month stay, I learned so much about the Afro-Ecuadorian community, their history, their struggles, and their incredible resilience. I had the privilege of connecting with such a kind and welcoming community. The families there, along with Geovana (the leader of the organization), received me with open arms. She truly felt like a mother away from home. She took care of me when I was sick and made me feel so special on my birthday. Everyone else also made me feel like part of the community, inviting me to social gatherings and including me in daily life. I'm grateful that I was able to contribute by assisting with English classes and by offering social media insights and suggestions to help raise visibility for their causes and strengthen their presence in Cuenca. Even if my part was just a small drop in the bucket, I'm glad I could support their work in a meaningful way. I definitely plan to stay in touch and hope to visit again soon!

We absolutely loved Franca, such a delightful person, high energy and great worker. So easy to have around and we all enjoyed her company, especially the children. Highly recommend

Margaux joined us in Costa Rica for three months in 2025. She taught Math, English Language Arts and ESL. She is a disciplined, thoughtful and simple exceptional teacher. She added so much to my project and to the lives of my students who adored her. Additionally she helped me save one of my foster dog’s life which is obviously above and beyond. For such a young woman, she is wise, witty and healthy. I recommend Marguax for any project, especially teaching, work with kids of any kind and also saving animals 🥰

We were very pleased to have Daizha as our first Workawayer! She made valuable contributions during her time with us. Daizha helped organize cultural activities, took photos and videos at various events, and assisted with editing and organizing the files afterward. She also participated in our weekly English class and provided helpful technical support whenever needed. We truly appreciate her positive energy and willingness to help. We wish her all the best on her journey, thank her for her contributions, and hope to welcome more Workawayers like her in the future.

Keiley and Fynn were a joy to host! They very quickly fitted in and were keen to work. We had lots of fun times cooking, making cheese and baking bread. Fynn perfected his focaccia by the end and was enjoyed by everyone. They were both considerant , friendly, funny, enthusiastic their love of horses and birds was very compatible. A night reciting banjo Patterson poetry and the man from snowy river, whip cracking and lassoing was a highlight for us and memories to last , we really enjoyed your stay and gratitude for your help,

Michel and Daniela were amazing hosts that became amazing friends over the course of the 2 months that we stayed at their welcoming place. The help that they needed was different than what they usually propose during the festival season, but wasn’t less exciting, quite the opposite actually!! From trip to Stockholm, driving packages, to emptying stores, building and organizing one (yes Michel that’s what I put in my resume lmao), everything became lots of fun side quests! And that’s without talking about the walks in nature, in the city, chill evenings and nice trips throughout the swedish east cost that we got to do in between :)) They are absolutely kind and generous persons, that made us feel comfortable since the very first moment. Communication and conversations with them flowed so naturally, everything felt just perfectly right between us. They always made us feel appreciated, helpful and valued, and we are so glad to have been able to help them and had their trust. We loved the time spent together, spent at their beautiful place and spent at helping them, and the more the time flew, the more we were attached and didn’t want to leave. 🥹 Their welcome was the warmest we could have imagined, and we are more than happy to had the chance to meet and get to know them (as well as to have had such good laughs and shared so funny adventures 😂). At this stage, we are not just going to recommend them; we’re going to actively advertize them haha 😎 We came here to discover, and left with our hearts full ❤️

When I read Ninie’s profile, I had no doubt that I was inviting a very experienced, passionate and hard-working volunteer to my wildlife shelter. Age wise, Ninie was one of my more mature volunteers, but you would never know it. She was as fit and young-at-heart as my youngest volunteers. If work was finished, she would find more jobs to do. When Ninie found out that her previous host was unwell and in desperate need of help, she raced back to lend her hand. I know she would do the same for me. As expected, Ninie was intelligent and wise. What I didn’t expect was how much fun Ninie would be. Whether working on her own, or as part of a team of diverse people, Ninie was an asset to my shelter and a great person to have in my home. I hope Ninie will return one day, and she will always be welcome.

Marine stayed for about a month and was immediately very helpful, we did various jobs in the garden and plant the first potatoes of the year, picked flowers and many other things, Her presence in the house was really pleasant. Merci Marine ! À bientôt !

Muy agradecido con la visita de Amanda, justo cuando necesitaba ayuda con la maquina de coser ella viene con su experiencia y creatividad. Habla muy bien español y sabe comunicar bien las cosas. Aqui encontro un lugar para poder relajar y trabajar en sus tareas creativas. siempre bienvenida. I very recommend Amanda her creative mind will help you a lot.

We spend a week with Sonja and Holger and absolutely loved every minute of their little paradise. It was our first Workaway experience, and honestly, it couldn't have gone any better. They both welcomed us into their home with open arms and made our stay truly wonderful. Sonja and Holger have this amazing ability to never lecture or micromanage. They happily and clearly explain all the rules and important things around their farm, which made getting started as Workaways super easy. The tasks were always just right - varied and never too much to handle. They're incredible hosts who genuinely cared about our well-being the whole time. Their animals are just wonderful, and you can really tell how happy and well-looked-after they are with Holger and Sonja. The goats' names aren't the easiest to remember - but if your're a Terry Pratchett fan, you'll pick them up in no time. The dogs Nobby and Leica are a total dream team and without a doubt the most wonderful friends and guardians of the guests. Jay and Pinky add a touch of grace to the already stunning property, and cleaning out the paddocks every day was actually a real joy - a chance to give something back in a meaningful way. We'll treasure our time with Sonja and Holger as one of the highlights of our whole trip. It was simply fantastic! Karen and A. Daniel from Hanover

Estar en este hostel fue de las mejores decisiones de mi viaje. Siempre me senti comoda, siempre rodeada de excelentes energias, excelentes personas. Nico, fue un super host, de verdad, me ayudo mucho a conocer del pueblo y del parque, siempre buena onda y chistoso, sus atenciones muy buenas y su comida tambien. Tambien tuve la suerte de conocer a otra gente que venia de voluntariado y de verdad muy lindas experiencias. Todo excelente!!! Gracias Nico!!

We stayed with Mira and Krsna for 7 weeks and we can't be more happy about it. We felt welcomed and respected and loved the exchange in everyday life. It was a pleasure to meet people with a similar understanding of what community and sharing means. Thank you so much 🙌🏻

Evgeny is a hardworking and trustworthy person with strong common sense and genuinely good intentions. He communicates clearly and honestly, which makes collaboration easy and reliable. Above all, he has a big heart—he cares deeply about the people around him and brings a warm, positive energy to the environment. We truly appreciated having him as a volunteer and his presencebis a blessing.

I was looking to develop new life skills and bingo! My stay with Rebecca, which I'm very grateful for, allowed me to step outside my comfort zone — there were quite a few firsts for me during this experience. From our initial phone call, I could sense that Rebecca genuinely needed support, and I was happy to offer my help in a sincere and meaningful way. The working hours were flexible, and tasks were not always clearly defined, which gave me the opportunity to take initiative in the household. I helped with various chores I felt were needed and did my best to contribute positively to the overall space. While I don’t yet have strong gardening experience, I hope I was still able to make a difference in helping tidy up and make the yards more presentable. Rebecca has been a lovely and accommodating host, and I truly appreciated our conversations—especially sharing perspectives on cultural differences between our countries. This experience gave me valuable insight into Australian daily life, which I’m very thankful for. I’m glad that Rebecca and her sons can now enjoy a more organized and cozy home, and I hope the space continues to improve for future Workawayers who will help carry things forward.

We had the pleasure of hosting Ilaria for a few weeks in February through Workaway, and it was a truly wonderful experience. Ilaria is a very social person who easily connects with everyone around her. She is a hard worker who naturally sees what needs to be done and takes initiative without hesitation. She is especially skilled in cleaning and organizing spaces, bringing a sense of order and care wherever she works. During her stay, she also helped paint several spaces beautifully. On top of that, she is a great cook and always ready to lend a hand with anything that’s needed. Ilaria enjoys meaningful conversations and is open to many different perspectives, cultures, and philosophies—it’s clear that her studies in psychology are a natural fit for her. We truly enjoyed the time we spent together and are sure our paths will cross again in future adventures. She is always welcome to return and be part of our project and dream. Warmly recommended

Alizée was a superstar! She was so kind, and so down for new experiences and being part of the family and community. Her positivity and can-do attitude was a pleasure to be around. Plus she was always attentive to any task given, and carried them out to a high degree of quality. I have no doubt she will be very successful in whatever she decides to do!
