Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

She was a great help with various projects. Working with so many different animals was new to her. She quickly grasped what to pay attention to. Although we had fundamentally different perspectives on some things (which I attribute to the significant age difference and the fact that I've probably forgotten how I would have reacted at 20), we had a lot of laughs. I think we both learned a lot.

Tegan and Marcella are both lovely helpful people. Put their hands up to do everything we asked of them. Highly recommend them to anyone.

¡¡¡Los mejores!!! He pasado un mes maravilloso en el camping. Personalmente ya les expresé a Gonza y Frank mis palabras de agradecimiento, pero me sigo quedando corto para expresar lo agradecido que estoy con ellos por abrirme las puertas de tan hermoso lugar. La energía, las personas, la cordialidad, los otros voluntarios, etc. han sido un conjunto de muchos elementos los que hicieron que mi tiempo allí haya sido maravilloso. Para quienes tengan ganas de ir a Puerto Natales a hacer este voluntariado, no duden en hacerlo. ¡Saludos!

Aga was a calm (good for me and the other animals), incredibly reliable helper on the farm (I became ill and she supported me in the best way possible). It was simply a pleasure having her here. How can I express it better than with "I'd have her back anytime"? Thank you Aga. We keep in touch.

Hannah is great person, was a pleasure to make this experience with her and still we think a on her, always she will be welcome at our place 🥰 I can start with her actitude, she has a good vibes, very calm and curios, she can manage easily different situations. Her skill, she is a very good baker and love to cook and experiment, I have to say that everything was beautiful and so good. She made for us a jam that everyone love it with lavender flowers, was great like Hannah. Hope to see you again 😍🌸✨

Super expérience à Las Palmas ! Le travail en construction était intéressant et bien organisé, avec une ambiance conviviale. J’ai appris beaucoup de nouvelles compétences tout en profitant du cadre incroyable de l’île. Les hôtes étaient accueillants et respectueux. Je recommande vivement ce Workaway !

Judy, Nigel and Merrin are amazing people to get to know and work with, while Waitangi Farm is a special and peaceful place that you won't regret visiting... we stayed almost a month and wished we could have stayed longer if our plans allowed it. The cottage we stayed in was lovely and had everything we needed, with beautiful farm and sunset views right off the porch. The work was varied and included weeding around native trees and plants, feeding the animals, working in the garden and harvesting apples for cider making. We absolutely loved our weekly dinners and were blessed to share lots of good food and conversation with their family. We definitely left this Workaway with a better understating of permaculture and farm life, many sweet memories and a set of new friends. We look forward to seeing you all again sometime soon.

Christina canceled the day before she was supposed to arrive because (according to her) she found a "better" opportunity. If you're a volunteer reading this please think twice before committing to a project since last minute cancelation really sabotages project like ours and at the same time takes a way opportunities from other volunteers that we turn down in order to save your spot.

Yef was an outstanding addition to our team. From the moment he arrived, he showed a deep commitment to the project and quickly became a key part of our daily operations. He was primarily in charge of reception, cleanliness, and general organization, and he handled these responsibilities with impressive efficiency. In reception, his warm and friendly personality made every guest feel welcome immediately. He is naturally charismatic and communicates clearly, which is essential for providing a great guest experience. Regarding the campsite's upkeep, Yeferson was exceptionally responsible. He maintained high standards of cleanliness and ensured everything was in its proper place, showing great attention to detail. He is the kind of volunteer who sees what needs to be done and takes action without needing constant supervision. Yeferson is hardworking, reliable, and a genuinely great person to have around. He brought a fantastic energy to the camp, and we would be thrilled to have him back anytime. I highly recommend him to any host looking for a top-tier volunteer!

We hosted Laurine for just over one week and we loved having her stay with us. She helped me a LOT in the house with general cleaning and organizing. But mainly we got to bottle a lot of fruit and tomatoes which was a huge job. Laurine is happy, confident, and a lovely person to talk to. We loved how she interacted with our greyhounds, and they miss her already! Nothing was too much or too hard for Laurine, she made things easier for me around the house while I had to have surgery to remove wisdom teeth. Totally trustworthy volunteer, who we would recommend to anyone who would like to host her. We wish her very happy travels and she is welcome back any time. Lots of hugs from all of us xx

I am so happy to have had Imelda with me for 10 days as a workaway. She was the best!. She performed the tasks that I requested with focus and did a great job. I loved her healthy cooking and I learned some recipes from her that I will definitely prepare soon. She added positive energy to our English Book Club as we were reading a book set in Ireland so we were able to learn from here. Imelda was very independent and made the most of her free time. A very cheerful, sweet, and positive woman. I enjoyed here company when we spent time together. I hope that she will visit again. Thank you, Imelda!!!

We had a great time at Oscar’s farm. It was a wonderful experience at a coffee farm in the Colombian mountains. The weather is perfect, the area is very peaceful, and the scenery is breathtaking. Oscar always took good care of us and was attentive to our needs. He’s a great guy and speaks English very well. We learned a lot about coffee plants, from planting to harvesting and all the processes involved in producing 100% organic, high-quality coffee! During our stay, we were treated to some delicious coffee , and other fruits from the farm. Thank you for having us ❤

We had the pleasure of having Joe and Becky stay with us just under two months and they were such a joy to have in our home! They are a wonderful working team, together they took on every task and did an excellent job In the morning, Becky, chopped and prepared the fruits and vegetables for the birds and the chickens Joe was by her side, giving freshwater to the birds and the chickens and the dogs In the morning, Joe would prepare the dog Food and give each of them their portion along with lots of love Our dogs loved their daily walks with Becky and Joe. I know they are being missed very much. Becky was always such a big help in the kitchen and she also prepared many delicious meals They both helped out with my things around the house Joe was always willing to lend a hand with anything and everything that I had on my mind to do and he fixed things I didn’t know were in need without being asked. Together they put together a big aviary for my Birds along with so many other things around here too many to mention There’s so many little extras that they did here that will be a reminder of our time with them every time I see it This is a very enjoyable couple to have stay with you. They make great conversation and are very kind and caring In every way Becky was a willing helper with me with injured or sick birds or chickens I highly recommend them to any host I know you will enjoy having them as much as we have We hope to see them next winter our home is always open to them

My experience with this host family in Portugal was simply wonderful. It was my first time doing something like this, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Don’t be put off by the small town — it’s very well connected to the rest of Portugal, making it a perfect base for anyone who loves exploring, just as I did. I went there mainly to improve my English… yes, in Portugal! And honestly, I couldn’t have made a better choice. Alex and Julian were incredibly patient with me. I especially loved our after-dinner conversations — they were such relaxed moments where I could practise without ever feeling judged. Even though I was there for a short time, I genuinely feel I improved, or at least became much more confident speaking a language that isn’t my own. It’s something that had always intimidated me, as I hadn’t had many chances to practise back in Italy. They also kindly let me use their “super blue car”, which was perfect for exploring the nearby areas — such a lovely bonus! The tasks were enjoyable… especially if you’re an animal lover! 😄 Otherwise, it might not be the place for you! I had a large, beautiful room all to myself, where I always felt comfortable and had plenty of privacy. I arrived at a moment in my life when I really needed to get away, and I’m so happy I found such a warm and welcoming environment. I would go back in a heartbeat. I’ll always look back on this experience with great fondness. Thank you, Alex and Julian❤️

Our experience with Filippo was excellent. He was a really good communicator and had all the skills that we required to help around our property - also a very capable cook.

Verónica is a lovely host, she's so sweet! I felt so welcome from the first moment. She gave me a lot of recommendations for things to do/eat around the city and always made sure I was okay. You have everything you need in the apartment, good kitchen! I worked in the afternoon so in the morning I was free. The kids and teens were lovely! They are so motivated so it's nice to work with them. Had a great time in Latacunga, thanks Verónica!

This has been my first experience as a Workaway and I must say it has been a challenge. Traveling alone to an unknown place with a language that is not mine has been a big adventure. Although it hasn't always been easy, I've enjoyed my stay at the ranch, especially with the animals (I love horses, dogs, and cats!). The experience of living in a quiet place surrounded by nature has been very enriching. I missed a bit of social life, so if you're a social person, I recommend having a car to get around and meet people. Overall, it has been a very valuable experience that has taught me to adapt and enjoy the moment. If you're looking for a quiet place with animals, this is a good spot." I want to give a big thank you to Bad, Lea, Clkarl, Erika, and Mike for hosting me at their ranch. Although it hasn't always been easy, I've enjoyed my stay and learned a lot about myself. I hope that in the future I can come back and learn English so they can really get to know me, as I feel like they didn't see my true personality. Thanks for the opportunity to live this experience and for the kindness they've shown me. I hope to see them soon!

It was such lovely two weeks to have Gisela with us. She is a positive and fun person to have around, and has become a dear friend. She massively helped us with preparing the veggie garden beds, digging and turning in compost and manure. She also made a new sanctuary for toads and frogs, transplanted strawberries and helped us with mortar application on the new chicken run. Gisela has great knowledge about earth care. We warmly recommend her and hope she'll come back soon.
