Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 5

Shino was only on our farm for a very short time. But we had an interesting cultural exchange and cooked a wonderful Japanese meal for ourselves. She did a reliable and good job working in the stables. I wish Shino a safe trip back to Japan.

Fue corta su visita pero muy agradable , colaboradoras y sociables visitamos muchas zonas . Feliz de haberles conocido

Dennis and Daniel are amazing people. We had such a nice connection that I planned to stay only two weeks and ended up staying a month and a half haha They’re super friendly and always up for having a good time. They love taking you around, introducing you to their friends, and making you feel at home. The house is cozy and has everything you need. The best part is how much I learned: fixing scratches, putting up wallpaper, and improving my skills with painting, gardening, and cleaning. I truly recommend staying with them. Thank you so much, "my Daddies" haha I’ll miss you and I hope we meet again soon, in Germany, in Brazil, or somewhere else in the world 🌍❤️

Robyn and Paul are truly wonderful people. I'm honored to know them and grateful to have stayed. The Wilsons Creek property is lush and gorgeous, and Paul is a knowledgable and dedicated conservation guru. They are well-traveled and fascinating people. I felt respected and well-cared for, and the work was clearly defined and well-paced. Thank you so much Robyn and Paul!!! I hope to see you both again sometime.

Katell was a truly wonderful addition to our family, and we were very sad to see her leave. She became part of our daily lives so naturally, and the children absolutely adored her. Our two-year-old daughter, Saoirse, missed her deeply for quite some time after she left, which says everything about the bond they shared. Katell was consistently kind, polite, punctual, patient, and completely trustworthy. Caring for our twin girls, who were only a couple of months old at the time, was a real challenge, yet she handled it with calm confidence and genuine warmth. We will always be enormously grateful to her for the care, kindness, and dedication she showed throughout her time with us. Without any hesitation, Katell has been the very best Workaway we have ever had, and we would welcome her back at any time.

Carlos e sua mae Ro nao tenho palavras suficiente para descreve-los. Nos estendemos seu tempo aqui e eles ainda estao na casa, vao em alguns dias e ja sentirei sua falta. Sao como da familia. Muuuuuito queridos mesmo. Como pessoas sao simples, educados, amorosos, interessados na cultura local, interagindo e buscando se conectar e aprender o idioma local. Observaram bem as regras da casa, mantendo tudo organizado e limpo eo que tornou a convivencia muito facil e fluida. Como voluntarios tambem sem palavras, ele ajudam muito mesmo, sao dispostos, interessados, nao ficam economizando tempo e fazem com animo para realmente ajudar o projeto. em resumo sao pessoas (amigos) que vou levar em meu coracao. desejo muitas maravilhosas historias a voces em sua volta. Aqui foi seu primeiro voluntariado e me sinto honrada em poder ter sido sua anfitria neste momento <3

I stayed with Irene, Rob, Flynn and Eva for a week and had an amazing time. They made me feel like part of the family and I really enjoyed our conversations over dinner. During my stay I got to know loads about self sustainable farming and living and about life in m Australia in general. Rob even took me on a bush walk up the mountain. I really enjoyed my time staying and working at their peaceful property and I would recommend it to anyone.

I stayed with Jenny for a week and had an amazing time. I did some weeding work in here beautiful garden and got to hang out with her and her cute cats. She showed me around Hobart and let me know of all the cool places, took me to see some live music and even on a woldlife rescue. It was the best time. Jenny is a beautiful human being and I would highly recommend staying with her.

Wonderful place! I truly enjoyed the opportunities for community, prayers, and a variety of work lead with kindness. They are great at organizing all of it and having patience as well.

Elspeth and Kim were amazing hosts!! They were beyond kind and generous and set the bar high as our first Workaway. We stayed for 2 months and that included Christmas where Elspeth cooked a lovely ham with all the fixins while we traded making Negronis. They're also very flexible with hours and working around bad weather. Even after working some extra hours one day Elspeth and Kim treated us to fish and chips and a beer afterwards. The work itself was also nice and manageable. A lot of weeding but also intermixed with other jobs like log splitting, lawn mowing, bush trimming, planting, transplanting, fruit picking, helping clean the cottages, and any other odd job Elspeth could find. In addition she always kept our fridge stocked with lovely fresh veg from the garden and whatever else we may need. And that's all the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this place. Really could not recommend enough. Thank you so much for having us and showing us how fun and rewarding Workaway could be! <3

I spent 3 months with John, Nathalie and their three adorable girls. John and Nathalie are very kind, I had the feeling of being a part of their family. We spent few moments all together on a day trip or a restaurant, the best way to discover a culture! And of course you talk a lot together. About the girls, I was there at the end of 2025, so Saoirse (the first one) was 2 and half years old and Fiadh and Rosins were 3 months old. Saoirse is very cute, she loves reading books and creative activities, it’s easy to find activities to do with her. The twins are very cute too, but I think they have grown a lot now. The house is located in the city center of Ennis, so very close of the coffee shop, charity shop or pub, it’s very practical and very easy for meet other au pair during the day or for spend an evening in a pub. Ennis is not a big city but there is many nice pub or coffee shop, so many place for spend a great time with the other au pair. Also, the house is ten minutes away from train or bus station so very practical for go one trip. I really recommend coming to stay with this family! Katell

I really enjoyed my first Workaway at The English Club! I felt like I got a really good taste of Japan staying and working there. Lily is very understanding and helpful with explaining how to complete the house cleaning tasks planned throughout the week and makes sure your comfortable and have everything you need. The other workawayers I was staying with were lovely too. I especially enjoyed our little trips on Wednesday to Mirai cafe in Bizen where we got to help prepare some dishes like sushi and dumplings, enjoying the food we made, and got to chat with locals. The friendly Friday sessions and world time sessions were really enjoyable too and another great chance to get to know the locals who live in the area, and what life in general is like in Japan. Everyone was really welcoming and accommodating. I really enjoyed my stay and will be coming back again. Thank you for everything Lily!

I had the best 3 weeks with Yolanda, Sara, Jorge & Hugo. It was my first Workaway experience and it was better than I could have ever imagined. I felt right at home and the four of them welcomed me right away. I saw many towns around Tarragona and Yolanda and Jorge were able to tell me so much about the area. It was also a really great experience to visit Yolanda's school and teach different classes about Germany and learn something about Catalonia from the students. I had a lot of fun going for a run with Yolanda or going on a bike ride with Jorge. Sara & Hugo are super nice and open-minded and can speak English really well. All in all, I enjoyed the time there very much and can recommend it to everyone. Thank you for the great experience! ☺️

Filippo - what a great guy! He wasn't daunted by anything!! Confident in his ability to tackle a wide variety of different tasks here, either working together or independently. Just what I need. As soon as I explained what needed doing he was really quick to understand and happy to get working. The weather is very changeable in February and we had to plan work around cold, sunny, windy and rainy days! I could entrust him to do jobs even when I was not here. That's wonderful for me (and not always possible). As this was his first workaway experience he kept an open mind about what I would ask him to do next and if ever unsure always checked with me first, so, so important!! I do hope that he enjoyed being here as much as I enjoyed both his wonderful work and his company. I would highly recommend him to any host to whom he might apply in future - you can rely on him to self-direct, such a valuable quality. I wish him many happy workaway experiences wherever he goes!! Thank you so much for all you did here Filippo :)

Short version: Amazing place, amazing people. If you get the chance to come here, don’t hesitate! Long version: We had such a wonderful time at Mo and Kiki’s place. They are incredibly welcoming, generous, friendly and open-minded people, and their finca is truly magical. Every single day we enjoyed the stunning views and the peaceful atmosphere. We really liked all the tasks we had the chance to help with: weeding the vegetable garden, pruning the olive trees, mowing the grass, making and stacking firewood in the woodshed, building a wooden bed and a garden gate. The work was varied, meaningful and always appreciated. And most of all, we loved taking care of the three (sometimes four 😁) cats, each with a completely different personality, and walking the two sweet dogs, Lea and Lausi. Even though the winter weather was a bit challenging this year, the comfortable guest house made up for it. There is a spacious, well-equipped kitchen with a living area with a great wood burner that made even the coldest days warm and cosy, and a comfortable bed on the sleeping gallery. Another highlight worth mentioning is the super-fast WiFi. Kiki and Mo, we are truly grateful that we could spend 2.5 months at your finca. Thank you for everything. 💚💚💚

I cannot say enough great things to convey how fulfilling this experience was. Ilmars and Sana from the start had open communication, and a strong attention to be as accommodating as possible. It was both my first WorkAway and their first time hosting, which helped both of us work through some of the foundation for future worker/host exchange. The house itself (Lapa) had a few major tasks to accomplish but the approach was done so with community. In fact, community was definitely at the center of it all, the Nakanohocho neighbors were fun to be around (shoutout to Trevor and Tomoko also for both their generous help and desire to also be a part of the experience). Ilmars was patient and encouraging to teach anything you wanted to learn, and Sana for her behind the scenes work to provide even more comfort. I shared my time with another couple, Thomas and Naomi, and, man, I could not have picked a better set of people to spend my days with. It was a little over 2 weeks and I made friendships for life. I'm going to miss you guys, so much; I hope to see you again soon.

Eva was a pleasure to have, she communicated when she will arrive, offered her help with anything and fit in well here with us. She walked our dogs every day even in very bad weather! she cooked us amazing dinners for the duration of her stay, researched recipes and tried new things. She was polite, considerate and efficient. Her English is very good and generally she has a really good head on her! We enjoyed her company very much

Ha sido un placer conocer a Wendell, de quien hemos aprendido no solo ingles, sino tambien deliciosas recetas de bizcochos y galletas y compartido un montón de experiencias de vida, Wendell conoce mucho mundo :). Él siempre ha estado muy pendiente de nuestro pequeño Nel, y en todo momento ha buscado como ayudarnos con algunas tareas en casa. Wendell nunca fué un extraño, pues desde el primer día lo sentimos como parte de la familia. Tanto Nel como nosotros le echaremos de menos. It has been a pleasure getting to know Wendell. From him we’ve learned not only English, but also delicious recipes for cakes and cookies and also life experiences, he has travelled a lot! He has always been so attentive with our little Nel, and he constantly looked for ways to help us with different tasks at home. For us, Wendell was never a stranger, from the very first day, we felt he was part of the family. Nel will miss him, and of course, so will we.

I had the chance to stay one whole month at Socratis' place. For lovers of quiet nature, his place is paradise. I slept really well in my little earth room and enjoyed the off-grid lifestyle, petting the cats, walking the dog, cooking and helping around. I was there in the winter, so my jobs consisted mostly of moving stuff around, helping with pruning trees, weeding, and general tidying up. Socratis is an inspiring and driven man who gives you a lot of autonomy. He is very knowledgeable about a variety of subjects and eager to share with those interested. Just make sure you check that you've fully understood what he wants you to do before you start - don't be like me and prune too many branches! 😬

Caroline and Paul were lovely hosts, who made us feel at home straight away. Karragarra is a beautiful place, and we thoroughly enjoyed the island life, as well as getting involved with their life, and the local community.
