Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 5

Elisabeth is super lovely and hard working women. She was at my place and came back with her boyfriend again and we always had a great time. Nice jam sessions, good talks, nice food we made together all in all just a great time. Thank you very much for your help :)

First of all, I would like to thank Jorge for letting me spend five weeks in his lovely place in El Hierro. The home is cozy and has a very nice view of the ocean, and the garden is absolutely amazing. I worked in the garden, fed the chickens and the rabbit, and I also cooked and prepared dried bananas and physalis, which I can recommend to everyone. One of my favorite things was taking care of a baby cat that was small, weak, and sick. It was a great pleasure for me to see that when I left, the cat was strong and healthy. Jorge was absolutely helpful, and I got everything I needed. The island is really beautiful and untouched. Me and the other Workawayers did many hikes in El Hierro, and sometimes I felt like I was on another planet. If you don't like crowded places and you like connecting with nature, this is the perfect place for you.

Pasé 3 semanas en aquí. Es un lugar maravilloso, rodeado de mucha naturaleza. Me gustó mucho aprender y trabajar en el quiosco. Estuve muy enfermo durante 10 días y Erwin me ayudó a encontrar un médico. ¡Además, las empleadas fueron muy simpáticas y acogedoras! Gracias Erwin !!

I was a volunteer here for the first three weeks of May 2026. The farm is nice and quiet as it is in a remote area. Just what I wanted to experience. I had my own accommodation in the prefab house, which had everything I required. I had the place to myself as it was early in the season. The hosts, Frangistos and Marilena, were always accommodating and helpful. It was also great to be able to socialise with the guests and meet interesting people. I would recommend this place to any volunteer, and I hope to be back there for the olive harvesting season.

thanks Jasek to come arround for one day, looking to the work to do and also make some few reparations. Maybe we see us again. Greetings Viviane

Dear Roy, it was a pleasure to welcome you here at my place. We had a few really good days, great conversations, lots of fun, and we also got a lot of work done. You truly helped me a lot and I thank you very much for that. Me and all my little animals — especially Ronja, who is completely in love with you — are already very much looking forward to the next time you come visit us. All the best, Viviane

Laura e Jack sono stati due worker molto bravi, ci hanno aiutato molto a raccogliere la legna nel bosco, il lavoro era pesante ma hanno sempre partecipato con grande attenzione e precisione. Sono stati molto rispettosi delle regole della nostra casa e abbiamo condiviso dei simpatici momenti assieme. Saranno sempre i benvenuti se vorranno tornare.

This is my first workaway and I felt so lucky that this place being my first volunteer. I am grateful that everyone I met here is so kind and nice. Not just the volunteer, but also the owner of the farm, the employees, and also the locals live nearby. It was a great opportunity to learn a lot of things. I really enjoyed pruning tomatoes. And the views here is like painting, so beautiful. I wanted to stay longer but I felt right to leave while everything is still at their best. I had the most beautiful encounter with the people I've met here. Thank you Burak, Berk, Murat, Nurat, Fidan, Steph, Dogu, Sarah, Leila, Damien, Ola, Joe, Anderson, Ali, Mahi, Camila, Tony, Darya, Rory, Hasan, Leila,Ahed, Rayan, Danil, Pranav, Yusun, Sarat...çok memnun oldum. sorry if i leave without saying goodbye to you, maybe one day we will meet again, who knows :D

My experience on Terceira was simply gorgeous, and for this I'm really grateful to Yasmin. She has been truly kind and showed me a lot of places to see and things to do on the island. Her cats are so adorable! I've never felt so free and relaxed like in those two weeks I was there... I felt like I couldn't think about any issues nor stressful things, but only enjoying my time there. I wish I'll get another chance like this. Again, thank you so much Yasmin!

It has been lovely to host Florian and Enoline. They have been very helpful in our house as well as in the garden. Also made good friends with our son :) they were very sweet and friendly. Thanks for sharing life with us!

I spent a wonderful week with Tan and Kik's family at the farm and it's one of the greatest memories of my trip! Tan is a hardworking and very smart person who is willing to teach you a lot about Thai culture, construction techniques and farming while Kik is an amazing cook !! Staying with this family taught me so many things and I got to learn so much more about Thai culture as well as sharing many good moments with the family and the volunteers In the span of a week, I got really attached to this amazing family : building the new toilets with Tan, cooking with Kik and sharing dishes from my culture, playing with Macon who became like a little brother to me, all those moments are memories that I will never forget !! I'm very grateful and thankful to them for hosting me in their home and making me feel so comfortable Hope to see you again some day !

I had such a great experience at Kristin and Steve's place! It turns out that I was the 109th Workawayer that they have hosted. They are pros at this! In everything from the communication before my trip, to a "household handbook", to the daily print-outs of that day's tasks: everything was so clearly laid out. Kristin and Steve are equally clear and direct in their verbal communications. I was particularly grateful to Kristin's expertise in showing/instructing me (a newbie gardener) how to do certain gardening techniques. I feel that I learned a lot (from a master organic gardener), even though I've just begun in my gardening journey. They are very kind and engaging hosts, and are both wonderful cooks. The setting (Peshastin) is lovely, and buses to nearby towns such as Leavenworth and Wenatchee are free, so when I was finished my daily duties, I had plenty of opportunity to hike. As a bonus, I got to look after their adorable 8-month old German Shepherd, Elsie. For anyone who is interested in living sustainably, this is a fantastic workaway!

Riku is a unik caring, lovely person to work with, his patience, warmth, dedication, and strong sense of responsibility have made a meaningful impact on our program, turning this cycle into a great success for our project. We are deeply grateful for her commitment and the care he has shown every day. He has earned the genuine and unconditional affection of the children—and ours as well. Riku will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

Edu & Berta! Son una pareja maravillosa, siempre dispuesta en ayudar con lo que sea, la cocina, la pintura, el plateado del café, etc. Son ambos trabajadores, con un buen corazon. Ademas han podido compartir unos momentos con mis hijas, Berta leyendoles cuentos, Edu jugando saltando en el trampoline jeje. Al final fuimos todos a la cascada del Cinco, fue muy agradable la salida.

Thank you for all your help. I truly appreciate everything you have done for us. I would be happy to recommend Korey to future hosts. He is a kind, friendly, and reliable person who was always willing to help my team whenever needed. We are grateful for his support and wish him all the best in his future travels and volunteering experiences.

Kaja was with us for 3 weeks and has been such an incredible help! She is skilled, independent, and always proactive. She quickly sees what needs to be done and goes for it. She has also been absolutely lovely to live with: easygoing, clean, helpful and discreet. We’ve had a wonderful experience with Kaja and sincerely hope she will come back again one day! Thank you so much, Kaja, for your amazing help, your energy, and everything you did during those 3 weeks!

Oksana is a very good cook; we enjoyed our meals all week, thank you very much.

Deva is a nice girl. She's good at teaching and good with kids. She's responsible and reliable, easy-going and adaptable. She's welcome back to stay with us anytime.

It was my first Workaway experience. I stayed two weeks and we did a lot of different things like building a shadow area, weeding, painting walls and improving the space. It's was nice having the possibility to switch between different activities. But some days were quite demanding in terms of effort and energy, so one has to be prepared for physical work. Fortunately I was not alone : I met to other amazing workawayers - Trixie and Joschi - and we formed a great team. I also discovered yoga and permaculture thanks to Francisca and I really liked it even though I was a total beginner.

It was such a pleasure to have Dorieke and Peter at Nimbu. A really lovely couple, always good and honest communication, great workers. They really held my back and managed the whole place together with our local staff when we were away. Peter did surf lessons, organized surf trips, managed the surfboardrental and was hands-on with everything that occured. Dorieke did Yoga-lessons, and was responsible for check-ins and guest communication. They both are massageists and can add their service to your activities, our guests loved it. I can only highly recommend to work with them. Take care, hope to have you back soon. Warm greetings Theresa
