Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 4

Diti was my first Workaway host and one of the best I've ever had. Her house is in a truly magical location and the work was very easy. The best part was getting to know each other and sharing stories of our travels and adventures. I stayed in a small separate cottage with complete privacy, and at mealtimes we shared some very special moments together. I loved getting to know her. 100% recommended.

Diana is a great helper and I would highly recommend her. She goes the extra mile and isn't a clock watcher and likes to finish the job irrespective of time. Friendly, helpful and willing to try anything describe her well. You won't be disappointed.

1000 % can recommend!!! In maybe one of the most beautiful places to settle and build a house, we were working at Niki and Camilos place to construct and finish a greenhouse. In total we were about 5-7 workawayers at a time and it felt so good to work on a project together and create things with good people who share the same passion about traveling, DIY, nature. I learnt a lot about cooking/baking (took the best cinnamon rolls recipe, learned how to bake bread and tried my first French Toasts ever) and I shared this passion with Esmeralda, their wonderful daugther. I like the natural lifestyle and i learned a lot about alternative ways to shape life! All in all I can definetly say I had a wonderful experience there and I left this place with a lot of inspiration!! Thank you<3

I loved spending a few days with Cyndilu and Robin. Cyndilu is a wonderful hostess, always so kind. I loved sharing stories about our travels and learning new delicious recipes with the Thermomix. I also loved getting to know Robin a little and being able to help him, even if only a little. You are both great, and I hope to return to New Zealand and visit you again in the future.

We spent two weeks with Pepe and his family in Melipilla. We are incredibly grateful to the whole family for allowing us to spend time with them. They gave us an incredibly warm welcome and included us in their family life. It was an incredibly special experience for us to experience family life in Chile up close. We personally enjoyed working in the garden and learned a lot. We enjoyed spending time outdoors in nature among the many fruit trees. It's a great project, and we hope you continue it so that many more volunteers can have a wonderful time here.

Very beautiful place with good energy. Worked is easy and fun. Amador is an amazing person with a lot of Tipps and Storys to tell.his son is an amazing Cook.

Desy es una persona muy mágica. Mi experiencia con ella fue magnífica en todo momento. Su tránsito por aquí en el espacio ha sido genial y muy beneficioso. Es una gran persona, con un enorme corazón, mucho coraje y voluntad por hacer, crecer, ser. Súper responsable, respetuosa, curiosa, muy sociable, reflexiva e intuitiva. Ha participado en la ayuda de construcción de muros, revoques, pinturas naturales, preparación de mezclas, limpieza, mantenimiento del huerto. Enorme capacidad para trabajar en todo tipo de tareas! Ha sido una experiencia de intercambio muy nutritiva y también de gran ayuda a los avances del espacio. Muchas gracias por todo lo compartido Desy y por haber venido aquí. Mis mejores deseos siempre para tu camino y que la vida siempre te sonría. Gracias!

Barney and Andy originally planned to visit us for two weeks to help with long-overdue repairs around the property. Unfortunately, Andy had to leave after three weeks, while Barney stayed for a total of two months. During that time, they tackled our most urgent projects on the kennels with real dedication and creativity. They worked through an entire list of tasks and were never too proud to take on any job. They even adopted a gentle stray dog straight from the street, found her a new home in England, and brought her to her new family on quite an adventurous journey. They spared no effort to save this sweet soul. Barney and Andy are two big-hearted people who bring color and warmth into every life they touch. We’re very happy that Andy will be visiting us again soon, and we truly hope Barney will also find his way back to us. Boys, we call you friends.

Sabrina worked with us for 2 months and I can say honestly she is a very lovely person! She works hard and is willing to try any new task thrown her way. She cares deeply, is kind, honest and boy is she ever physically strong!!

Lambro stayed with us for four weeks and was a great support throughout his time here. He took care of cleaning the dog enclosures and the feed kitchen, feeding the dogs, and walking them. He also helped a lot in the garden and with repairs to the enclosures. He looked after our dogs with genuine care, kindness, and respect. We also really enjoyed listening to his stories about life in South Africa, which always made for interesting conversations. It was truly a pleasure having him with us.

We both really enjoyed our time here! We spent 3 weeks here and the time flew by. The work is only 2 hours a day 5 days a week 7:30-9:30pm. All of the students are great and you can learn so much about Turkey from them. Istanbul is a massive city and there's so much see. The other volunteers were also a great bunch and we had fun renting a car and exploring other places on the weekend together. If you're looking for a fun, relaxed experience where you can make friends and learn about culture, we strongly recommend :) A small note for future volunteers: you will sleep on a sofa bed, the same couches used for classes. Each afternoon you will move everything from your room to a locker. It was not an issue for us and easy to do. Happy volunteering!

I spent a month at the hostel and it was a wonderful experience. Every volonteers and all of the staff were super welcoming and I really felt at home. The work was super fun and not to hard. A lot of fun time and beautiful memories!

Ella stayed with us for a week and we really enjoyed her being here. She helped us in the garden although the weather was terrible and also did some decorating indoors when it was not possible to be outside. Ella is very capable and friendly and it was a pleasure to host her.

My experience with Crystal, Tim and the kids was short but lovely. My hours were spent with the littlest one introducing her to the alphabets, play time, craft and games. Together, we ate a healthy lunch everyday. Great family unity and the children are respectful, independent and lovely. Crystal, thank you for accommodating me and I hope to see you possibly next year?

Tyler stayed with us for a little over 2 months and we overall had a great experience hosting him here. Tyler has a very calm, and warm energy about him, he was very reliable as a worker, observed house rules and brought a steady presence to our community. We would highly recommend Tyler to any future workaway hosts. During his time here he helped us on many different projects, including forestry, pile burning, daily chores, cooking and other various tasks; he excelled at all of them. It was nice to share a love of the environment with him and shared interests about fire ecology and land stewardship. We wish Tyler all the best in his travels and he is welcome back anytime.

Francesco is a very warm and welcoming person and his place is peaceful and quiet. I was only there for a couple of days but he welcomed me as if I'd be living with him for a long time. I slept like a baby in a comfortable bed and dark room and we had dinner together every evening which I didn't expect but I was very happy about trying out new things and having talks with him. a big plus is the cuddlebug Orzo (his dog) and the cats that are around and like to be cuddled! I helped Francesco to prepare the area for a jacuzzi and painted the walls there. He was also very understanding when I didn't feel quite alright. So all in all a lovely experience and I hope to see him again in the future! :))

Such an incredible experience. Seriously, being in this space felt like finding a treasure in the middle of the city. Every day was very special experience for me. Everyone made me feel like part of the family. They are all so kind, generous, and funny, and it was very easy to build a good relationship and communicate with each other. Even though the language could have seemed like a barrier, it really wasn’t. Nothing that Google Translate couldn’t solve! Communication was always clear and smooth. The tasks were simple and clear, mainly keeping the house clean and playing with the kids, who are truly adorable. And I also have to say, the food they prepared was absolutely delicious! And thank u Figen for let me help you to prepare some meals with you, was so special. Thank u Ossman and Figen for opening the doors of your home, for sharing your culture in everyday life, and for making me feel part of it. I truly hope to see you all again. I'll always remember you and miss you very much. Çok teşekkür ederim!

Andrii? Calm, smart, positive, hardworking and balanced in everything. He had his first workaway experience with us, and it seemed to us that he was a long-time experienced workaway. He loves nature and enjoys natural and simple things. Thanks Adrii!

Thank you so much, Giulia, for your beautiful words. You truly became part of our home in every meaning of that word! All you did brought so much heart, energy, and light into our lives. Even today, you continue to support us, and that means the world. You are one of those volunteers who remind us why we do this work and give us the motivation to keep going. We hope to welcome you back very soon , you will always have a home here ❤️
