Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 5

Miguel and family are so welcoming and included us in their daily life. lots of laughs, fantastic food, comfortable warm bed. we total recommend staying here. they respected the altitude was hard for us and we had lots of rest time. Enjoyed catching the bus to Ingapirca and Canar.

Mary is just one of the best, warmest, kindest, most loving people you will ever meet. Her heart is so big and so open. From the moment she arrived, she treated us like her kids and it was like having one of our mums come to stay. She was constantly looking after us and finding things to do around the house even when we wanted her to take a break. Her stamina easily puts us 30-something year olds to shame! She spent all day hacking away at our garden and making it beautiful come rain or shine, sometimes after several hours of walking in her "leisure time". All the food she cooked us was beyond delicious and so healthy. Mary has definitely become a part of our extended family and all four of us will be missing her for a while!

Kenjiro is a very calm, gentle, and kind young man. He is sincere and worked with great dedication at all times. He helped with garden work such as grass cutting and chopping firewood, and even challenged himself with DIY projects, despite having little prior experience. He is a quiet and modest person who does not speak much, but he is very observant and thoughtful. He often asked, “Is there anything I can help with?” When he noticed the firewood stock was running low, he quietly brought more and filled it up without being asked. His ability to notice things on his own and take action is one of his greatest strengths. He also spent a lot of time taking care of our daughter, and she absolutely adored him. Even now that he has returned home, she still talks about him often (which makes us smile). Thank you so much for choosing our place and coming to stay with us. We truly look forward to meeting you again someday.

Nous avons passé deux semaines à travailler dans cette ferme et nous avons adoré notre séjour, un réel coup de cœur ! Lucie et Bruno sont de très belles personnes. Ils sont très ouverts d'esprit, entousiastes et toujours prêts à nous apprendre des choses. Leurs deux filles sont adorables. Le travail est vraiment intéressant et très honnête, les 5 heures de travail sont bien respectées. Le lieu est magnifique, un véritable havre de paix à proximité de la plage. Le logement est confortable et la nourriture excellente et variée ! Je recommande à 200÷

Vincent is very friendly, warm, and naturally brings people together. He is a real mood-maker in the group. He loves cooking, and whenever he was around, it was common to see people gathering to cook meals together, share food, or enjoy snack time (he always seemed to be eating something, which made us smile!). Thanks to his voice and invitations, circles of people naturally formed, and we were truly moved by how effortlessly this sense of togetherness emerged. He also introduced a board game from his home country and taught everyone how to play. Almost every night, the volunteers gathered to play the game together, and it became incredibly lively. Those moments are deeply etched in the memories of everyone who was there at the time. He also worked very hard. While he was not very familiar with using power tools at first, he took the initiative to research how to use them properly and always did his best. We already miss the warmth you brought to the space just by being there. We truly hope to see you again someday. Thank you so much for coming and being part of our place!

I had an exceptional time in Seoul while volunteering at the language cafe! The guests were kind and for the most part eager to learn, and it was motivating to watch them improve their English. You can learn a lot about Korean culture while talking to them, which is great! Dennis is really kind and flexible if you need a certain day off. The work is not much at all which leaves you with plenty of free time to explore Seoul :) The accommodation is small but has everything you need and the location honestly couldn't be much better in my opinion. I loved the area and how close it is to the subway station. I met the most wonderful people (co-volunteers) at the house and I will cherish my experience forever. Only downside is the insane amount of mosquitos inside the house😭I don't understand where they're coming from... But thank you!!

Leo and Lisa made a truly meaningful contribution during their time with us. We learned a lot from them, both in content and in approach. They created strong and thoughtful social media content, worked confidently with Canva, and developed valuable educational materials for school children and Erasmus students around sustainability and climate awareness. Their eco-education during both a beach clean-up and a mountain clean-up was of great value, adding depth, awareness and context to these actions. Their knowledge of plant-based and gluten-free cooking was a real asset to the group, and they consistently supported the daily rhythm and wellbeing of everyone involved. Leo and Lisa were deeply engaged in climate awareness actions, often taking initiative themselves, supporting the group and stepping in wherever needed. We were very happy with their presence, energy and commitment. Their strategic thinking and insights are inspiring examples for others, and what they leave behind offers a strong foundation that can be built upon. We wish them both every success and fulfilment in all that lies ahead.

I stayed with her in Madeira for over ten days and felt very comfortable the whole time. It was a wonderful experience even though it was a bit colder than I expected. She showed me many beautiful places and helped me discover the island. I also really enjoyed spending time with her two amazing children. A very warm and welcoming host that I can truly recommend.

Johanna, Eva, Anna and Alina stayed with us for three weeks and supported our project in multiple ways. They contributed with care to our social media and video editing, created beautiful photos and posts, and were actively involved in our clean-up actions and upcycling projects. All four were self-reflective, engaged and supportive within the group, cooked wonderfully for everyone, and connected easily with other Workawayers, creating a warm sense of community. We have respect for what they brought and developed here and can wholeheartedly recommend them. We wish them all a wonderful and inspiring year ahead.

Amer was a delightful person to have in our life. He's very much on a journey and I'm happy to think that we added something to that learning. We all learned a lot about his background and culture too - he was my first volunteer from Saudi Arabia and I look forward to visiting him when he, eventually, gets back home. He stayed a few weeks longer than planned but he wasn't impressed by the cold in December here! He worked really hard and was up for any of the challenges that were presented to him - mud building, moving heavy loads around, chopping wood, putting up a ceiling, bricklaying amongst other things. We all enjoyed his company and I'm sure we'll meet again.

Nicolas was a wonderful volunteer to host. He is very hard‑working, has solid permaculture experience, and quickly understood daily rhythm of the farm. He is also a curious explorer who made the most of the local area, and his fun, easy‑going nature made him great company for everyone. Wishing him Best for all his future adventures.

It was very enjoyable having Zoe around - she was involved with a lot of different projects...mud bricks in the sauna, mixing and moving mud plaster and helping my daughter lay a new floor among other things . She was reliable and helpful and accepted all the challenges including learning how to light the wood stove. I appreciate all of her work - thanks Zoe.

Ferdinand is a lovely person and really helpful volunteer. He was involved with the sauna, as everyone was last autumn, and learned about laying mud bricks. He also did some regular bricklaying which required a little more precision. He was helpful with the renovations at my daughter's house too. He was given a wide variety of challenges and was happy to get involved with everything. All of the work was much appreciated.

盈潔是一位親切友善，很好相處的朋友，來這裡兩週，與老師及學生們互動很好。和學生們一起騎腳踏車、一起修理車子，一起玩桌遊。協助英語老師以及特殊教育老師上課。和我們分享新加坡的教學經驗，是一位好老師。有機會歡迎再來台灣。

Emily and her team were wonderful guests to host. Their teamwork and cooperation were truly amazing, and they supported each other very well throughout their stay. They were friendly, open-minded, and highly engaged with our students, creating a very positive learning and cultural exchange experience. They participated actively in birding activities, discussions, and community life, and their presence motivated and encouraged our students. We really appreciated their positive attitude, collaboration, and respect. They would be a great addition to any host, and we highly recommend them.

Fatma was an amazing volunteer and a truly kind person. She taught English with great dedication, passion, and care, and our students really enjoyed learning with her. She was positive, respectful, and always willing to share and learn, which made her a joy to have around. Beyond her work, Fatma integrated beautifully into our family and community life. Even during a difficult moment when she was injured, she remained strong, appreciative, and inspiring. We are very grateful for her contribution and her warm spirit. Fatma would be a wonderful volunteer anywhere, and she is always welcome back with us. We highly recommend Fatma.

I stayed with Sabine for a bit over 2 weeks and helped deep cleaning her beautiful house. She is a very kind and welcoming person with lots of interesting stories to tell! I'm very grateful for our conversations and the time we spend together. I wish you all the best and hope to see you again soon! <3

Great couple. Friendly people and great workers. Higly recommended.

My stay with Deanna, Mitch and the family was a very positive Workaway experience. The work was well organised and varied, mainly involving outdoor and maintenance tasks. Communication was clear, expectations were fair, and I felt well integrated into daily life. I can totally recommend this Workaway and would be happy to return!

C'était un véritable plaisir de recevoir Joanny et Catherine. Nous avons beaucoup partagé en ces 6 semaines de leur présence et ils ont nourri la ferme de leur belle énergie et de leur générosité. Chacun a beaucoup offert à ce lieu et l'a abreuvé de soin et d'amour, comme si c'était sa propre maison. Leur générosité s'est étenduz à chaque âme qui passait sur la ferme et à laquelle ils ont ouvert leurs yeux, leurs bras et aussi leur coeur. Je souhaite leur exprimer ma profonde gratitude pour ces moments, pour ce qu'ils m'ont appris, tant humainement que techniquement. Ma gratitude aussi pour toutes les belles oeuvres qu'ils ont réalisé sur le lieu et qui me rappelle régulièrement leur passage. Ma gratitude aussi pour ce qui les a traversé ici et qu'ils ont eu le coeur de partager. Je leur souhaite beaucoup beaucoup d'abondance sur leur chemin. Que la simplicité, toujours nourrie de tendresse et d'authenticité, vous porte jusqu'à vos rêves les plus fous. Au plaisir de vous revoir, Bien tendrement Nour
