Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 5

Daniela and her environment are wonderful!! I loved being with them; they are very kind, cheerful people, and they have a very nice energy. Daniela has always been asking about me and caring for me. I lacked nothing and had a wonderful stay. They treated me amazingly and made me feel like one of them. If you want to have a fun experience and make a change, they will help and advise you. I’m sure that someday I will come back!

I spent four days with Mirjam and her family. I enjoyed my time in Oosterhout very much. My highlights were the dinner with Mirjam’s friends, the deer watching with the kids and my project, painting the kitchen cupboards. Mirjam is very empathetic which did me a lot of good when I was not in good health one day of my stay. It was nice to spend time with the family and talk about traveling. Thanks again to Sophia for letting me stay in her room. 😊

Con Tati compartimos más tiempo porque tiene experiencia en jardinería y paisajismo. Aprendí bastante de ella . contribuyó mucho para preparar más plantas y poner belleza en todos los espacios. Simón tiene amplia experiencia en construcción y carpintería. Es muy eficiente en su trabajo y muy honesto con sugerencias o consejos. Él realizó unas mejoras de un cerco. Y también hizo unas mejoras en mi casa. Lo que más agradezco es que puso una ventana en un sector clave. Porque ahora tengo una vista maravillosa hacia la montaña. Los dos ayudaron con el corte de leña también. Son personas buenas y tranquilas. Los recomiendo mucho y deseo que les vaya muy bien en su vida

Flora was a gentle, caring and experienced workawayer to have on the farm! Her love for animals was clear, especially with our cat and donkey. Her experience with ponies was very useful for the work she did with the donkey, we are very grateful for that. She was open and willing to do new tasks, such as painting, and continued even despite it being physically challenging to do for a while. She was determined to finish tasks and organised herself in a very good way. An honest and good communicator, she also listened very well and was thoughtful when it came to discussions about different cultures. Even though she's gentle, it was so cool to see that she stands up for important causes and handled unexpected situations impressively (Luke and Otto attacking each other, wow). Flora was very sweet with my grandma, despite language barriers, she was able to share tenderness, which was appreciated. Flora got along very well with the other workawayer and it was always so nice to see them hanging out and doing tasks together, I really felt I could count on them both. A great team. I really hope you come back on the farm one day and thank you for all your contributions! :)

Beautiful Hostel. Very nice Host and Peaople. Carlos is very patient and have good communication. He is Very nice. Work is clear and easy. Very good Time there ;)

Nikki was a positive, curious and intelligent workawayer who was not afraid to try out new things and was able to pick up new tasks. As her first workaway experience, and first experience working on a farm, she adapted very quickly to everything. I was impressed! She communicated well and made funny jokes. She was calm and respectful during her free time, and always asked me how I was doing and how my tasks were going. A "yes woman" she would say yes to any suggested activities, which made it fun to do together with the other workawayer and myself. She got along well with the other workawayer and it was so lovely to see that they traveled together, and could do activities outside of the farm together. Nikki was very eager to learn Darija and I could see her practising and asking questions to learn new words, so lovely! She bonded closely with the animals, especially with our dog Otto, who seemed to become a bit obsessed with her by the end of her stay. Nikki stayed very flexible and open, a great skill as a workawayer. The workbook she and the other workawayer created for the farm was truly creative and heartwarming. You left us with a great memory. I hope you come back to the farm one day!

Volunteering at Cheng was so much fun ! It was not always easy - especially during Chinese New Year with so many dogs around - it definitely helps to improve your patience 🙏 The communication and the tasks were clear and Cheng is very flexible if you are! She also welcomed me to eat with her family during the CNY and drove me around twice, which I really appreciated. I really miss my walks with Maya and Chocolate and my dinner date with Maya 💔 Thank you so much for everything and do not hesitate to volunteer in her lovely home. Marie

We spent 10 days with Francesco, his two dogs, and also some days with Giuseppe in the beautiful countryside of Castello. We were lucky enough to work on several interesting projects, from gardening to building a pond and even doing some woodworking. But what we really appreciated were the nice conversations with Francesco about topics we share, such as agroecological projects, our place in society, and much more. We also loved Giuseppe's cheerful company; we had a lot of laughs despite the language barrier (thanks again for the carbonara and the genepi!). We wanted to say thank you again to you and to your lovely family for your unforgettable hospitality, and we wish you success and joy with your project. See you soon! Pierre and Eli

Spent 3 months helping Asthor with the apartment as well as having a job in the town. It was a nice time. Asthor has a HUGE movie collection and on free time it's possible to watch anything you want. You don't have to worry about anything, Ashtor is ready to help if there's anything you need or if some trouble. As there was not too much work to do with cleaning or other stuff, there's quite some free time so it's nice to walk around the town (there's a mountain just next to Asthor's house) or just do you. Also Asthor can drive you to nearby locations like some waterfalls with his big Tesla car and take a picture of you and Aurora Borealis or the moon as well:) If you're a chatter be prapred to have A LOOOT of chats about anything and everything 😁

Amigo Marcelino, agradecemos mucho tu estadia con nosotros, fue un verdadero placer tenerte, muy responsable y muy trabajador, no te gusta estar sin hacer nada, inteligente y mucha comunicacion con nuestros huespedes, eso ultimo nos encanto abrazo grande, bendiciones.

Mona helped me for 4 weeks with my little son and she was amazing. My son felt really fast comfortable to her they both enjoyed the time a lot. Also I had a good connection to her and we spent time together next to the normal tasks. She is a really friendly, open minded person. :)

Der Empfang in Esporlatu, bei Uwe und Corinna war genau so herzlich und berührend wie der ganzer Aufenthalt und auch der Abschied. Ich bin wie durch ein Wunder zu Uwe und Corinna geführt worden und bin erstmal auf unbestimmte Zeit dort geblieben. Die Zeit ist sehr schnell vergangen und plötzlich waren drei Monate vergangen. Ich hatte in Deutschland Familie und Freunde hinter mir gelassen und habe Ähnliches im Haus von Uwe und Corinna , in Esporlatu getroffen und kennengelernt. Es war eine sehr schöne Zeit, wir haben sehr gute und tiefgründige Gespräche über Gott und die Welt geführt, haben viele Ausflüge gemeinsam unternommen, Karten gespielt, wir sind von einheimische Nachbarn zu ihnen nachhause eingeladen und sehr freundlich empfangen worden und das hat mir gezeigt wie gut Uwe und Corinna von den Einwohner in Esporlatu aufgenommen wurden. Wir haben über unsere schöne Gespräche viel von einander erfahren und lernen können und auch das hat mein Herz sehr berührt. Die Aufgaben und die Arbeiten im Haus und im Garten waren sehr vielfältig. Von handwerklichen Arbeiten, aber auch kochen, einkaufen, reinigen, sortieren, reparieren im Haus, oder Bäume einpflanzen, Unkraut jäten, Hecken schneiden, Oliven, Zitronen und rote Orangen pflücken oder Lagerfeuer machen, war alles zu machen und für jede Begabung und Wunsch vorhanden. Ich verlasse Uwe, Corinna und Esporlatu jedoch mit Freude im Herzen, denn mir wurde gesagt, dass ich immer und zu jeder Zeit dort willkommen bin. Ich kann jedem Workawayer , ein Besuch bei Uwe und Corinna in Esporlatu vom ganzen Herzen empfehlen. Ich wünsche für Uwe und Corinna, das ihre Pläne und Vorstellungen auch in Esporlatu in Erfüllung gehen und sie und viele Besucher ihr Projekt bald gemeinsam genießen können. Herzlichen Dank und herzliche Grüße

Gerard was a great volunteer at 101 Wakepark.He supported the team with daily tasks, helped maintain the space, and interacted well with guests, creating a friendly atmosphere. Gerard was reliable, easygoing and eager to explore. We really appreciated his attitude and willingness to contribute. It was a pleasure having him with us, and we wish him the very best for his future travels and projects.

Julie gave me such a warm welcome, even for my short stay. I really enjoyed working together for cleaning the house. It was a fun process of trial and error! I hope I was able to help out. I also loved exploring the town of Brunswick. Highly recommended! Thank you!

I had a great two weeks staying at Stefs lovely farmhouse and can't wait to come back. I felt very welcomed by his lovely family, especially Conan the very affectionate cat! I was given freedom to choose whatever jobs I thought I could contribute the most to and chose mostly outdoor work (the weather was fantastic) - driving the tractor around, moving stones, and woodchipping sticks and branches. The food was great, I didn't miss meat at all. Stef makes so much from scratch, there was always fresh bread and hummus. I was sharing a room with fellow workawayer Vicente and we had plenty of space, it was great to meet and work with him too. Definitely come here if you get the chance, I can't have chosen a better first workaway experience if I tried!

Lucas et Lucas furent parmi les meilleurs jeunes que j'ai eu.Toujours enthousiastes et joyeux,avec l'entrain qui caractérise ce jeune âge mais aussi réfléchi, ils ont mené à bien tous les projets et challenges que je leurs ai donné.

Laura est venu avec 2 amis mais elle a montré une capacité de polyvalence extraordinaire. A chaque fois que j'avais besoin d'elle pour n'importe quoi elle répondait toujours present. Ce fut un réel plaisir de faire sa connaissance

She was friendly, courteous, and truly a wonderful guest! I truly appreciated how often she joined my English conversation sessions and gatherings with my friends. She shared so much with me and my friends about Switzerland, her home country, as well as Australia and Brazil, where she had lived for several years. As an experienced traveler and a very intelligent person, she had great stories and perspectives to share, and we learned a lot from her experiences. We also spent time walking around the city together and visiting museums, which became wonderful memories. Even after she left my guest room, she stayed in Tokyo for another two or three months and continued to join my English conversation sessions and spend time with me, my friends, and other guests. I was truly happy that she stayed connected with us for such a long time, and that made the whole experience especially amazing. The time I spent with her was truly special and unforgettable, and both my friends and I hope to see her again sometime soon! :) Hiroshi Yamazoe

We stayed at Ailsa’s home for the first two weeks when we arrived in Oz. Mattes and I couldn’t have imagined a better place to start the journey as the place of Ailsa. She is the most welcoming, generous person. Whether she bought our favourite sweets when she went shopping, sat with us at the table for hours in the evening telling stories, or let us borrow her car. Ailsa always made sure we felt more than comfortable. She showed us the beaches of Perth, treated us to a beer at a live music event in the pub, and helped us with all the bureaucratic matters, whether it was car insurance, TFN numbers, or bank accounts. We could come to her with all our questions. Recently we stayed at her daughters home. Feels like we become a little part of the family🌞✨ thank you Ailsa for everything

Sage stayed with us for the month of February. She really put her heart into the work, and it showed every day. She brought energy and enthusiasm to everything she did and everyone felt it. The dogs got so much attention and care and the horses were calm and happy with Sage. She truly cares about horses and has a good feel and timing in working with them. She picks up new things easily and is curious and open to learn. Together with the other workawayer here, Sage took full responsibility for our horses while we had to go away for a week. It was incredibly easy as I trusted fully that the horses were in good care and would have their everyday needs seen to. Sage, you were such a nice person to have around. We appreciate the time you spent with us a lot and wish the best for you in the future.
