Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

Luis und Kathi waren sehr angenehme Hausgäste und sehr hilfsbereite Workawayer. Durch das gelernte Tischlerhandwerk konnten sie enorm viel dazu beitragen, dass alte Dinge wieder ein schönes Aussehen erlangten. Die beiden ergänzen sich sehr gut in allen Dingen die sie gemeinsam erledigen, und es ist schön zu beobachten, wie unglaublich nett sie dabei miteinander umgehen. Sie arbeiten sehr überlegt, gewissenhaft und genau und haben selbst große Freude an ihrer Arbeit. Durch die Hilfe in meinem Haus haben wir einen großen Schritt bei der Einrichtung und somit Gemütlichkeit des Wohnens gemacht. Unser gemeinsames Abendessen war immer kommunikativ und nett und wir waren gar nicht so schlechte Köche! Ich wünsche Kati und Luis weiterhin alles Gute und viel Erfolg für ihr Studium. Sie sind jedenfalls und gerne in meinem Haus willkommen.

Working here for the last 2 months has been amazing! It's a very light workload - teaching is really only on the weekends unless there is a summer camp going on. All of the kids are great and easy to teach because most already know English from school. There is not a lot of structure for teaching - you have the freedom to create whatever lessons and activities you want.The house is amazing, the family is super accommodating to all of your needs, and you get all 3 meals provided every day! Annie is a very kind host and is great at communicating. It's the perfect opportunity if you're looking to work with kids, gain experience teaching English, or just want to be out of Bangkok for a little bit - it's close to the river and easy to relax outside here. The neighborhood is very quiet and serves as a restful break for fellow travelers like me!

Alberto & Florencia are an absolutely lovely, sympathetic couple. They bring so much warmth and positive energy wherever they go — it was infectious! We felt genuinely happy to have them as guests on our farm; they were respectful, kind, and a real joy to host. We’d love nothing more than to welcome them back anytime. Hope to see you again soon!

Aisie was wonderful to host! She is friendly, has a great personality and was willing to lend a hand in any activities that were happening at the farm. She was busy watering and planting trees, weeding and tending to the garden among many other things. Her contribution was much appreciated and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for help :)

Kenny stayed with us for two weeks, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time together. He possesses a wealth of skills, experiences, and stories to tell—and it’s even better when he shares them accompanied by his guitar. He is a responsible individual who strives to do things right; he is willing to help with the needs of the homestead and shows great enthusiasm for learning new things. He assisted us with various projects on the homestead , including construction using cob and other natural building techniques, animal care, painting a door, and repairing our old car. My two daughters got along wonderfully with him; he was patient, respectful, and fun with the girls. Before leaving, he left the space where he was staying very clean and tidy for the next Workaway. We are confident that he would be a positive presence in any situation or setting. He is very in tune with the earth and his environment. With gratitude

My time here was truly something special. Jane was a wonderful host—warm, welcoming, and genuinely thoughtful, always making sure everything felt comfortable and easy. The facilities were great, and the accommodation was cosy, creating a real home-away-from-home feeling from the moment I arrived. And then there’s Charlie, Pixie, and Ruby… you simply can’t help but fall in love with them. They bring so much personality, joy, and heart to the whole experience. This Workaway is more than just a place to stay—it’s a place you feel part of. I leave with a full heart and very fond memories. Highly recommended to anyone looking for something meaningful and memorable.

I had a great one week stay at the farm! Eric and Ezgi were very welcoming and laid back. I was the only volunteer at the time, so I had the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen space to myself. I loved spending time with the animals and the gardeners each day. The working hours are very fair and with plenty of guidance from the gardeners, David and Michael. Eric and Ezgi took me into town on my first day off which was really nice, to do some grocery shopping. I recommend if you appreciate the quiet farm life!

My partner Seb and I had the best possible experience with Elspeth and Kim back in Feb, we couldn't have asked for better hosts! The living situation was cosy and comfortable, the food (especially what was grown in the garden) was plentiful and delicious, the work was always accommodating and we learnt lots along the way. Elspeth and Kim are very kind lovely people and we 100% recommend this Workaway to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful time. Thank you Elspeth & Kim!

Although Bertrand stayed with me for less than two weeks, I could quickly see how diligent and experienced he is in various types of work. We worked together on laying weed mats and doing cement work, and it was clear he had the kind of know-how that only comes from real experience. It was both comfortable and enjoyable to work by his side. Beyond joining my Kouksundo classes, he maintained his own morning exercise routine to stay fit. With his wealth of practical skills and great attitude, he will be a wonderful asset to any host.

Lahcen Bounda has a bright, cheerful personality and a real passion for exploring new cultures. I could truly feel that he was doing his absolute best to help me in every way. With his background and skills as an engineer, he was a huge help in renovating my Kouksundo (traditional Korean mind-body training) studio and maintaining my father’s house. I highly recommend him!

What a great guest and helper Elizabeth has been! Apart from being a super chill person she is also very proactive and independent. She knew exactly what needed to be done in the garden or in the house without me even telling her, which I really appreciated because she came at a particular busy period for me. She also knew how to keep herself entertained during times off, went on many hikes and read a lot of books. Last but not least she is a creative cook who showed me you can make a tasty and healthy meal with whatever is available. We also had interesting conversations over dinner (her Spanish is awesome) and she really made the place feel more like a home by improving illumination, etc. I’m very thankful for all her help and friendly, cooperative attitude, and I wish her all the best in her future adventures!

Jerome and Aurelia were amazing guests, they brought the vibes and fun, music and chill conversations. They worked hard on the task and finished it quickly and to a high standard. Thanks so much and happy travels!! Maybe I will come to workaway with you one day 😁

Has been a nice week at Mike's! Mike welcomed me easily even if I contacted him close to my arrival. He's gentle funny and knows a lot of things, so it's been a great chance to know about new Zealand and its environment. The tasks were well explained and I enjoyed working also because of the other volunteers there. Can't forget Mike is a great cook and enjoying his homemade meals was the evening highlight! Thank you Mike for everything!

Mon séjour chez Chan m'a réellement enchanté. Chan est une personne attentive, intéressante et à l'esprit très ouvert. Il a un grand respect pour ses invités qu'il soigné vraiment avec une grande attention. Très bien logé, nourri avec abondance et des spécialistés culinaires coréennes que j' ai beaucoup apprécié. Le travail était tout à fait à la portée de tous et ni compliqué ni fatigant.De plus Chan m'a fait découvrir ce qui compte le plus pour lui. Je veux parler bien sûr du Kunksundo dans le quel il se sent vraiment heureux. Je tiens à le remercier sincèrement de m'avoir fait découvrir cet aspect culturel typiquement Coréen. Je vais mettre tout en oeuvre pour trouver le moyen de le pratiquer en France. Encore merci mille fois Chan pour ton hospitalité et ta sympathie et aussipour cette expérience, certes brève, mais si enrichissante pour moi.

Dear Caterina, Having you with our family and at our school has been a truly beautiful and memorable experience for all of us. From the very beginning, your dedication, sincerity, and the genuine love you showed towards the children were so evident. You brought such a calm, positive, and caring energy, and it made a big difference in the way the children felt and learned around you. The kids absolutely adored you. The way you connected with them, understood their little emotions, and made them feel comfortable and happy was really special. It’s not something everyone can do so naturally, but you did it with so much ease and warmth. We are especially grateful for all the effort and patience you put into teaching skating to my younger daughter. You didn’t just teach her a skill—you gave her confidence, encouragement, and joy. She looked forward to every moment with you. The bond she formed with you was so strong that when you left, she was truly heartbroken and even cried. As a parent, that says so much about the love and trust you built with her. Thank you for being so responsible, kind, and committed throughout your time here. You went beyond just volunteering—you became a part of our daily lives and left behind so many happy memories for the children. We feel very grateful to have had you with us, even if it was for a short time. You will always be remembered with so much warmth and appreciation in our home and at the school. Wishing you all the happiness and success in everything you do. Please do stay in touch—you will always have a place here with us. With heartfelt thanks and lots of love, Raina and Aslam

We had the most wonderful and memorable time in the chakra's of Tinco. For 2,5 weeks we were surrounded by so much warmth and enthusiasm from Dionny and her children Alan and Dionny. We had the most fun during the work in the Choclo fields. Dionny leading by example and distributing satisfying tasks for our team of volunteers. The rhythm of days really allowed us to get to know one another and become involved with each other. As a host they were very flexible, caring and accompanying. On top, the opportunity to meet Dionny as a person was the greatest blessing. We shared so many enjoyable moments with her, and together with the team of affectionate volunteers. Meals were special, by means of structural moments of coming together. They were also prepared together, lead by master chef Dionny, so that we were able to learn and master some delicious Peruvian recipes. Some trips in the area, to Carhuaz or the beautiful mountains, ensured moments of cultural exchange and enjoying the nature in the region. And we should not forget to mention the most flamboyante mascota, Valentina. What a delight. All in all were have been very grateful to have called Dionny's house our home for 2,5 weeks. Muchas gracias para todo, y hasta luego...

I was lucky enough to host Mia and her best friend Lis for around 5 days. We had a huge gardening job to do and both girls worked consistently and diligently, as we made our way from the top to the bottom of the property (over several days). They did a really thorough job and I was very pleased with the result. On the last day we did a deep clean on the house, which again they did very thoroughly. As guests they were both good-natured and cheerful. They quickly made good friends with my other Workaway guest and the three of them took every opportunity to explore the area, quite often independently. As a pair they get along really well and I can highly recommend them as a valuable addition to your next project.

Simone is the guy with positive attitude, cheerful, plenty of experience and independent which is suitable to our campsite. He bring positive vibes to the campsite, know what to do and finding stuff at the campsite. He's easy going and can mingle with other volunteers at the campsite well so that all of of them have a positive vibes and good teamwork to do task. (He's already informing to come for the second time on April :)

I stayed with Shannon and Jeff for 3 month and I had a great and fun time. Shannon and Jeff are very welcoming and they do their best to make you feel home. Very generous people. I'm very greatful I was able to spend such a long time at their farm . Thanks Shannon and Jeff for everything!! Big cuddles to the cutest dogs BUSTER😂, Prussia, Rumble, Finn and I will always remember you Stella ❤️🪽 Kisses for Hemi

I stayed with Peter and Mayu for around 3 months over the winter, working for their business doing snow clearing and housekeeping for local properties. The experience was incredible and so much better than i could have imagined, they were both so thoughtful, always checking in on each workawayer and making sure they were comfortable and well looked after. We had a great balance between work and free time, always being offered fun things to do in the area and Mayu would often cook up a storm for everyone to have a delicious meal together. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxed place to stay and work with two incredibly thoughtful, generous people.
