Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 5

I received a very warm welcome from Lisa and James and felt right at home! They have a lovely house with a beautiful garden and a lovely natural pool. I helped with weeding, cooking, and painting. They introduced me to and allowed me to participate in all their activities, which was wonderful: the tea ceremony, the sacred cacao ceremony, and the 5 Rhythms dance. I also participated in the yoga workshop organized by Lisa, and afterwards we enjoyed a wood-fired sauna, followed by an ice bath and finally a magnesium foot bath! We had some very interesting conversations, and I really appreciate their philosophy of life. They are such generous people!

Sam stayed with us about a week. It was a short time but it was enough to be friends. He is a very lovely and responsible person and as a volunteer he was always ready to help whenever i needed. We did some farm works together. And he is also very helpful at kitchen. I definitely recommend him to all other hosts.

Je n'ai pas simplement et seulement rencontrer une expérience Workaway mais tellement plus que ça ! C'est un havre de décompression .Si vous osez saisir l'opportunité d'être bousculé pour grandir, vous pouvez vivre de profonds échanges où vous repartirez le cœur, l'esprit et le corps plus ouverts et dans l'accueil de votre chemin. Un merci n'est pas à la hauteur de ce que j'y ai vécu et rencontré. J'ai pu expérimenter mon amour de la cuisine végétarienne pour de si belles personnes.Merci Mithia ❤️, Jean-Yves, Françoise, Pote, Kan, Lilas ...et aux autres volontaires ainsi que les belles personnes qui ont séjourné lorsque j'étais là. Nous restons en lien.

I had a great stay with Marc and Kerrianne and I am very grateful for this experience. I felt very welcome from the moment I arrived and really appreciated having my own room, which allowed me to keep my privacy while still sharing daily life on the farm. Even though I am not vegetarian, I ate very well during my stay and enjoyed discovering a different way of eating that was more local, simple and connected to the environment. On the farm, I took part in many different tasks, which helped me develop a lot of new skills, both in home gardening and in gaining knowledge about plants, the environment and local biodiversity. I also had the chance to see a lot of wildlife in its natural habitat, including kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, pythons, scorpions, possums, parrots, echidnas and even a platypus. For me, this was a completely different and much more meaningful experience than seeing animals in a zoo. I also really enjoyed the fact that there were often other helpers staying at the farm. This made it easy to meet people from all over the world and exchange about our cultures, lifestyles and ways of thinking. These conversations were very enriching. Thanks to Kerrianne, I had the opportunity to join the local gem club, meet local people and learn new skills in jewellery making and lapidary work. She introduced me to the club as she already knew it and I am very thankful to her for that. Marc is very talkative and open minded, and it is possible to talk with him about many different subjects, which makes conversations very interesting. During my workaway, I shared many great moments with Marc and Kerrianne, between work, discussions and discovering beautiful natural places, as well as local events. I also enjoyed spending time playing pool together, which was a lot of fun. I leave with many great memories, new skills and meaningful connections.

Dear Kitty and Kwen, thank you so much for having us! Although it was a short stay, it created unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime. In particular, the experience of interacting with locals and other tourists at the smoothie shop was truly invaluable. Both Kitty and Kwen made sure we enjoyed our stay in Ayutthaya to the fullest. And Grandma, too, treated us to the most wonderful food in the Kingdom of Thailand. We wished we could have done more to help you all. We will definitely come back to assist you again! Please be sure to contact us when you come to Japan; we'd love to return the favor!

The Croatian Trio! What a wonderful time we had with them. Polite, conscientious, keen to learn, clean and with a wonderful sense of humour. They stayed for three weeks and we wished it was three months; not only was their work exemplary but we had many happy evenings have a chat and a laugh. We have our fingers crossed that they come back but if not, wish them well on their travels! Bok!!

Anita y Daniel fueron un apoyo increíble los días que nos acompañaron: la dedicación para dejar impecables las ventanas que teníamos llenas de manchas por los últimos trabajos, el respeto con que me ayudaron (Eliana) a mejorar en mi inglés, acompañarme para ponerme en forma con las caminatas y las recomendaciones para las nuevas experiencias de turismo que estoy desarrollando, hasta su actitud como modelos :) ! El perfeccionismo de Anita es admirable y muchas gracias por las delicias que nos regalaron, sobre todo el postre de gengibre, ganador! :D

3 semaines passés en janvier 2026 à Culture sauvage. Un véritable bonheur de vivre dans la forêt forêt tropicale, l'environnement y est splendide. Natasha est une très belle personne. À l'écoute et toujours disponible si vous avez des questions, elle sera vous proposer des missions qui correspondent à vos capacités/envies. Elle vous proposera largement de quoi vous occuper pendant vos temps de repos, elle est d'ailleurs très arrangeante à ce sujet. On vous conseil de vous munir d'une bonne voiture pour accéder au site la montée est assez ardue. Les repas ne sont pas fournis mais tout le nécessaire de cuisine est présent ! Culture sauvage est une expérience à part entière, il nous est arrivé de rester plusieurs jour uniquement sur le site tant l'ambiance y est paisible.

I had such a fabulous time at Richard’s Workaway. Full of laughter, good conversations, and fun and interesting work. Richard’s passion for his awesome projects and Japan’s nature is really admirable and eye-opening to see, and I’m so glad I could be a part of it. Would highly recommend joining this Workaway, a project to definitely not miss out on, and I would love to return in the future. Thank you Richard !! :))

Our first Workaway experience was truly amazing! Theo and Doug are wonderful, very easy-going and kind people who made us feel welcome from the very first moment. The work was easy and very fair – mostly gardening and some housework. We worked around 3 hours a day, 4 days a week, which left plenty of time to relax and explore. We especially loved spending time playing with Honey and Turi. They completely stole our hearts! We will always remember Doug’s limoncello and Theo’s homemade ice cream. We are so grateful for this beautiful first Workaway experience and would absolutely love to come back one day. 💛

So many things to be said for Kakak Graziano,, He is the person that made everyone smile and happy, he is the person that have the energy to do anything and feel so easy, he is the person that able to go local and adjust with our culture here. He can do any skill from sharing his English to do some hard work in the garden. He is not afraid of getting himself dirty of the mud and also he drives very safe around with the motorbike. Thank you for coming to us, and hopefully to see soon with more places to explore. Ika

Claire and Adrien are AMAZING! We have been lucky enough to host so many exceptional people but these two are as good as it gets. Having them here felt like a holiday despite the days being very full and getting so much done. Every morning the house was sparkling, the chickens were fed, the garden watered and the wood boxes full before the day even began. For the first week of their stay they mostly helped Nick at my parents house with gardening, installing gutters and repairing some timber doors. For the next two weeks they worked with us, building a shed and storage shelves, sorting out a chaos of tools, working on constructing a solar dehydrator, gardening, fencing, clearing a tree, harvesting berries and herbs and so much more. They were as genuinely enthused about all our projects as we were and always keen to get working and reluctant to stop, which made every day feel productive, energising and fun. We also had lots of fun sharing games and music and learnt an excellent new card game from them. Claire and Adrien are the most conciencious, considerate, enthusiastic, hard working and good hearted people you could hope to meet and they will bring joy to anyone lucky enough to host them. We were all a bit heartbroken to say goodbye 💔

Let me begin with telling you all how this beautiful Jennifer have been so much helpful in everything around my home, the neighborhood and the students too. She is a very easy going person to always feel joy and peace when she shows up. She has the energy and the great future plan that makes me admire her more. I am proud to have her with us and happy to taken pictures from a professional photographer like her. She has the passion in gardening that also made us connected. A loving mother and a great friend to be with. My door are always welcome her back to come home again to Pangkep. Miss her much. Ika

Geraldine, Giorgio and Antony are so nice, kind, easygoing and easy to communicate. I spend 2 weeks there, the retreat is very cozy, clean and beautiful, if there is no customers, you can have the room. Also they will share food with you. I only went out one day, because retreat is too comfortable. I washed the ground and cleaned some leaf's before costmer coming. I helped in the kitchen like washing dishes and preparing food when customers are here. It is really nice to stay with them, they are so kind and good energy! thank you so much!

It was a real pleasure to have Maki and Gen in my home. They are polite, respectful and have a willing, helpful attitude. As a young couple they are keen to learn and listen, so I can highly recommend them to any host lucky enough to have them. I learnt a lot about Japan - especially Okinawa. We had a lot of fun together. Maki and Gen helped me get lot of tasks done to a high standard and I hope they will come back soon.

It was lovely having Jenny to stay with us for a few weeks. I really appreciated Jenni's willingness to contribute to the tasks that required doing. Jenny stayed at the same time as another workawayer and it was lovely to see them become friends and to share each other's company, as I tend to be away a lot! There were times when we were all there and we we able to share some yummy meals together and get to know each other a bit more. We had an unfortunate experience of fleas in the household and Jenny was happy to help to get it sorted. Thank you for your understanding Jenny and all your help while you stayed. I really appreciate it. Peace, love and light.

Arturo est un personnage authentique et très accueillant 🙂.Attentionné et humaniste, je ne peux que recommander !!!!

Katie blessed us with her presence for a couple of weeks and it was so awesome to have her around. Katie is a friendly, helpful, chilled individual, very respectful and compassionate as well. During her stay Katie helped with a few jobs in the garden, weeding and also pulling blackberry. Along with another workawayer who was staying at the same time, they got a lot achieved and I am forever grateful to them both for all the work they did in the chicken coop area and also in a different area that had more blackberry! Not easy work, but they never complained and always have a positive attitude. Thank you so much for all your hard work Katie and it was lovely meeting your Mum and her friends. I do hope you can come back to visit us, as the boys are always looking for willing candidates to bounce with them on the tramp or build LEGO creations. Peace, love and light from us all.

Tuve una super experiencia con la familia de Jessica y Jorge en Cunco. Son increíblemente acogedores y los trabajos fueron variados y muy interesantes por la mayoría! También les estoy super agradecida de haber compartido sobre su cultura… y obviamente te recomiendo al 100% experimentar este voluntariado !
