Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

We loved meeting the doggies and learnt so much about breeding and everything that involves. Bronwyn was very generous with food and always made us feel like we could have anything we need. The accommodation was very spacious and the land surrounding it is gorgeous and perfect for sunset walks.

We spent two wonderful weeks with Heidi and truly enjoyed our time together! We worked in the garden and helped her with a small construction project. It was so rewarding to see the place transform thanks to our efforts. Heidi gave us great guidance but also let us share our own ideas and work independently, which we really appreciated. Sharing dinners and chatting together was a highlight; we loved learning about Danish culture and the local environment. The place itself is beautiful and cozy, with a forest and lakes just a few minutes' walk away. We used the electric bicycles to explore on our days off and it's something you can't miss out! Thank you so much Heidi! :)

It was a pleasure to host Chrissi and Nala the dog. Chrissi is clean, hardworking, respectful, a good communicator and a pleasure to spend time with - Nala is also very friendly and well-trained. Welcome back anytime! :)

My girlfriend and l stayed for one week at Jayalakshmi's Farm and it was an incredible time. She was our first workaway here in India and we couldn't have asked for a better one. The location of her farm is just wonderful, surrounded by a lot of nature, far away from the busy and touristic towns, perfect for everyone who is seeking for a calm place to stay and to interact a lot with locals. Jayalakshmi is such a nice woman, extremely kind and welcoming, she made us feel like home just the second we arrived to her place. Having conversations with her was very interesting since she has a lot of knowledge about natural medicine and plants, Hindu Religion and about life. She is also very curious and we could have a lot of exchange of experience and different kinds of knowledge. She also always made sure that we got everything we need, she cooked 3 extremely delicious meals per day and provided coffee and tea as well. Also about work she was very caring and said whenever its too hot to do some certain work ,to stop and continue in the afternoon or she gave us some other tasks. When weve been there it was tamarind harvesting time, so we helped peeling the tamarind and taking of the seeds. Also we did some painting and some work in the fields. She has also some local staff working at her farm and they are so kind and lovely! Even tho communication was difficult we always found a way to communicate and laugh, some of them even invited us to come to there homes and showed us around their beautiful colourful villages or brought us to see a ceremony at the temple. Jayalakshmi even made us a natural Henna the traditional way the night before we left. l can only recommend staying at Jayalakshmi if you're looking for a cultural exchange, a place far away from busy town and simple lifestyle. thank you again for hosting us and lm wishing you all the best for the future! whenever we are back in India we will come to visit you!:)

We spent 10 lovely days in December. Dai and Sara welcomed us really warmly and made us feel at home. They immerged us into their day to day life. Dai drives the projects with enthusiasm and likes to transmit his knowledge through the wabi sabi philosophy 😁. Sara is a sunny person and easy going, always making sure you feel good and don't lack anything. They shared tips to enjoy the surroundings whether through hikes or cafés. Work consisted mostly into maintaining the guesthouse during off season (reparing paper doors, cleaning, painting..) and renovating the main house (woodwork, insulation..). Dai even took time to teach us bamboo crafting during a little workshop ! Accomodation was really comfy, either in the main house or in the guesthouse but be prepared to face cold temperature during winter (they warned us in advance) ! The only downside of this place is the sun disappearing behind the hill at 12a.m in winter.. 🤷‍♂️ To sum up, they were both great hosts and we are truly happy to have spent those days in their company. Wish you the best for the future and hope to see you again 💜

We had the pleasure of hosting two Irish guys during their gap year, and we highly recommend them. They are young, but very mature and serious in their work. They were always willing to help, never afraid to get their hands dirty, and approached every task with a smile and a positive attitude, which made the work much more enjoyable. When we had to adjust our plan for removing weeds from the cobbled road, they were flexible and adapted quickly. They worked manually, burning off the weeds, using a pressure washer, and filling the gaps with sand and salt. They even lifted some cobblestones to better remove the roots of the invasive grass, always with great precision and attention to detail. They are very independent, well-organized, and able to manage tasks on their own. We trusted them completely, and they proved to be reliable and responsible every step of the way. We recommend them without hesitation as Workawayers! If they have the opportunity to visit anyone else, we are sure they will be just as valuable and the future hosts will be very lucky. We are grateful for the time we spent together and hope to welcome them back in the future :-)

Magdalena stayed with us for three months, originally planning to stay for two. Due to the wonderful experience on both sides, she decided to extend her stay—and we are incredibly grateful she did. During her time here, Magdalena showed what an exceptional person she is, both in her work and personally. She is a very hard worker who consistently went above and beyond what was asked of her. She approached every task with dedication and responsibility, and her positive attitude made a real difference in our daily routine. Magdalena is also a joy to have around. She is kind, trustworthy, and has a natural compassion for animals. Her presence brought a lot of warmth and laughter to the team. She has a great eye for detail, often noticing things others might miss, and she came up with thoughtful and practical solutions. We truly appreciated having her with us, and she will be deeply missed.

Mizuho é muito querida. Ficamos muito felizes com os dias que esteve connosco. Obrigada pela ajuda dada. Foram sempre muito interessantes as conversas. O seu despertar artístico certamente a levará a um futuro muito de sucesso. Muitas felicidades

I stayed for 6 days and had a really great experience! The area is beautiful and James is kind and respectful. We went hiking together, and I truly enjoyed the trails he showed me — they were places I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. His food was also delicious, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The work itself was very easy and relaxed. I helped remove weeds from a few garden beds and also expanded the huerto a bit. And I did some cleaning in the house. It was very manageable, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings. I especially appreciated the balance between spending time together and having space to do my own thing. Since I work online a few hours each day, it was perfect that I could manage my schedule, explore nearby places based on his recommendations, and still share friendly conversations and activities together. It was exactly what I was looking for — relaxed, flexible, and welcoming. He was also wonderful with my dog Nala, which meant a lot to me and made the whole experience even better. I would definitely recommend staying here and would happily come back.

Pascale is an amazing person as well as resourceful, experienced and playful at times. She helped me when in the beginning of my new project with the 10 chalets. Incredible person and a volunteer to be. Very grateful to host her and I highly recommend

Thierry was great. Very helpful, kind guy, taught me lots of useful skills which I'm sure I'll use again and was very friendly and nice to be around.

Carolain and Brayan is an amazing, kind, sincere and helpful couple. As I was busy renovating a new project, they help me in so many ways. The vibes and sincerity they brought to us was so valuable at a crucial moment. I can highly recommend them. Thanks again guys

Noah stayed with us for about 10 days here in Tenkasi and we had a really great time hosting him. He is very open-minded, easygoing, and always willing to help with whatever is needed. Even though we didn’t have a huge amount of work at this stage of the project, he supported us with taking care of the fruit trees : watering, digging flood rings around them, and some general land care. Beyond the work, he was fully present in everything we shared. We took him around to explore the area, and he was genuinely interested and engaged in each experience, which made it really enjoyable to host him. He also connected very naturally with everyone around — always smiling, easy to talk to, and just very pleasant to be around. It created a really nice atmosphere during his stay. He comes across as an experienced Workawayer. Flexible, adaptable, and comfortable in different environments. I can easily see him fitting into many kinds of projects while still staying true to himself. I also appreciated how well balanced he is. Able to be fun and a bit wild in the right moments, but also calm, grounded, and present when the situation calls for it. We’d be happy to host him again later on, or even visit him one day in his own project in the UK.

I spent three weeks at Eoghan's place and it was the sanctuary I needed so much. Eoghan and all of his friends and neighbors welcomed me with open arms, open mind and open heart. I couldn't have picked a better place to rest and detox than Glenmore. I loved the atmosphere, the dogs were amazing, I fell in love with both of them and I really enjoyed the routine of taking care of them - breakfast, walk, cuddles, walk, dinner, toothbrush snack, bedtime. Eoghan took me around to Enniscorthy, Kilkenny and Waterford city, we met his friends, checked out the charity shops, cleaned up the garden and the firewood and I tried to help out wherever I could. I'm freekin grateful to have found this place and the opportunity to spend time with Eoghan, the doggos, the cats, his roomies and his friends. Thank you for your generosity, your kindness and offering your space!

Mudit is great fun. We hope he returns someday!

Mascha and Joanna are great fun. We hope they return someday.

Javier and Estelle are great fun . We hope they return someday!

I spent a bit over a week at Lorraine and Serafin’s place in Bedmar and had a really great time! From the first moment I felt very welcome — we shared a meal together and Lorraine explained everything in her super cheerful way. Cleo the cat is an absolute sweetheart and quickly became my friend (especially once food was involved 😄). The three chickens definitely kept me on my toes — fast, hungry, and always ready to attack anything green! Bedmar is a small and quiet village, perfect if you enjoy a peaceful and authentic place. All in all, a really nice and enriching experience — I’d happily come back anytime. Thanks a lot Lorraine, Serafin and Tariana for the lovely time!

Amy and Oliver are great fun. We hope they come back someday.

Thank you Beatrice for this winter! I really felt relieved to have Mattia and Beatrice here for 3 months. They took good care of the house and helped with welcoming other guests. I really appreciate them always asking if something was unclear, so we could figure out the correct solution for everything. They are both happy to help with anything, and very flexible. Beatrice helped with many things here and there. I was especially happy that she had experience with dogs, which made me comfortable leaving Ilona's walks on her responsibility if we were not home. Beatrice is very friendly, helpful, calm and organised, a good fit to stay here in the middle of nowhere. I think she was mainly responsible for a nice and clean house, even if I assume everyone took part in getting everything done, as there were many guests coming and going this winter. I recommend choosing Beatrice for both individual and team work. I'm sure she can do anything you ask with a friendly smile.
