Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 5

Keiley and Fynn were a joy to host! They very quickly fitted in and were keen to work. We had lots of fun times cooking, making cheese and baking bread. Fynn perfected his focaccia by the end and was enjoyed by everyone. They were both considerant , friendly, funny, enthusiastic their love of horses and birds was very compatible. A night reciting banjo Patterson poetry and the man from snowy river, whip cracking and lassoing was a highlight for us and memories to last , we really enjoyed your stay and gratitude for your help,

Michel and Daniela were amazing hosts that became amazing friends over the course of the 2 months that we stayed at their welcoming place. The help that they needed was different than what they usually propose during the festival season, but wasn’t less exciting, quite the opposite actually!! From trip to Stockholm, driving packages, to emptying stores, building and organizing one (yes Michel that’s what I put in my resume lmao), everything became lots of fun side quests! And that’s without talking about the walks in nature, in the city, chill evenings and nice trips throughout the swedish east cost that we got to do in between :)) They are absolutely kind and generous persons, that made us feel comfortable since the very first moment. Communication and conversations with them flowed so naturally, everything felt just perfectly right between us. They always made us feel appreciated, helpful and valued, and we are so glad to have been able to help them and had their trust. We loved the time spent together, spent at their beautiful place and spent at helping them, and the more the time flew, the more we were attached and didn’t want to leave. 🥹 Their welcome was the warmest we could have imagined, and we are more than happy to had the chance to meet and get to know them (as well as to have had such good laughs and shared so funny adventures 😂). At this stage, we are not just going to recommend them; we’re going to actively advertize them haha 😎 We came here to discover, and left with our hearts full ❤️

When I read Ninie’s profile, I had no doubt that I was inviting a very experienced, passionate and hard-working volunteer to my wildlife shelter. Age wise, Ninie was one of my more mature volunteers, but you would never know it. She was as fit and young-at-heart as my youngest volunteers. If work was finished, she would find more jobs to do. When Ninie found out that her previous host was unwell and in desperate need of help, she raced back to lend her hand. I know she would do the same for me. As expected, Ninie was intelligent and wise. What I didn’t expect was how much fun Ninie would be. Whether working on her own, or as part of a team of diverse people, Ninie was an asset to my shelter and a great person to have in my home. I hope Ninie will return one day, and she will always be welcome.

Marine stayed for about a month and was immediately very helpful, we did various jobs in the garden and plant the first potatoes of the year, picked flowers and many other things, Her presence in the house was really pleasant. Merci Marine ! À bientôt !

Muy agradecido con la visita de Amanda, justo cuando necesitaba ayuda con la maquina de coser ella viene con su experiencia y creatividad. Habla muy bien español y sabe comunicar bien las cosas. Aqui encontro un lugar para poder relajar y trabajar en sus tareas creativas. siempre bienvenida. I very recommend Amanda her creative mind will help you a lot.

We spend a week with Sonja and Holger and absolutely loved every minute of their little paradise. It was our first Workaway experience, and honestly, it couldn't have gone any better. They both welcomed us into their home with open arms and made our stay truly wonderful. Sonja and Holger have this amazing ability to never lecture or micromanage. They happily and clearly explain all the rules and important things around their farm, which made getting started as Workaways super easy. The tasks were always just right - varied and never too much to handle. They're incredible hosts who genuinely cared about our well-being the whole time. Their animals are just wonderful, and you can really tell how happy and well-looked-after they are with Holger and Sonja. The goats' names aren't the easiest to remember - but if your're a Terry Pratchett fan, you'll pick them up in no time. The dogs Nobby and Leica are a total dream team and without a doubt the most wonderful friends and guardians of the guests. Jay and Pinky add a touch of grace to the already stunning property, and cleaning out the paddocks every day was actually a real joy - a chance to give something back in a meaningful way. We'll treasure our time with Sonja and Holger as one of the highlights of our whole trip. It was simply fantastic! Karen and A. Daniel from Hanover

Estar en este hostel fue de las mejores decisiones de mi viaje. Siempre me senti comoda, siempre rodeada de excelentes energias, excelentes personas. Nico, fue un super host, de verdad, me ayudo mucho a conocer del pueblo y del parque, siempre buena onda y chistoso, sus atenciones muy buenas y su comida tambien. Tambien tuve la suerte de conocer a otra gente que venia de voluntariado y de verdad muy lindas experiencias. Todo excelente!!! Gracias Nico!!

We stayed with Mira and Krsna for 7 weeks and we can't be more happy about it. We felt welcomed and respected and loved the exchange in everyday life. It was a pleasure to meet people with a similar understanding of what community and sharing means. Thank you so much 🙌🏻

Evgeny is a hardworking and trustworthy person with strong common sense and genuinely good intentions. He communicates clearly and honestly, which makes collaboration easy and reliable. Above all, he has a big heart—he cares deeply about the people around him and brings a warm, positive energy to the environment. We truly appreciated having him as a volunteer and his presencebis a blessing.

I was looking to develop new life skills and bingo! My stay with Rebecca, which I'm very grateful for, allowed me to step outside my comfort zone — there were quite a few firsts for me during this experience. From our initial phone call, I could sense that Rebecca genuinely needed support, and I was happy to offer my help in a sincere and meaningful way. The working hours were flexible, and tasks were not always clearly defined, which gave me the opportunity to take initiative in the household. I helped with various chores I felt were needed and did my best to contribute positively to the overall space. While I don’t yet have strong gardening experience, I hope I was still able to make a difference in helping tidy up and make the yards more presentable. Rebecca has been a lovely and accommodating host, and I truly appreciated our conversations—especially sharing perspectives on cultural differences between our countries. This experience gave me valuable insight into Australian daily life, which I’m very thankful for. I’m glad that Rebecca and her sons can now enjoy a more organized and cozy home, and I hope the space continues to improve for future Workawayers who will help carry things forward.

We had the pleasure of hosting Ilaria for a few weeks in February through Workaway, and it was a truly wonderful experience. Ilaria is a very social person who easily connects with everyone around her. She is a hard worker who naturally sees what needs to be done and takes initiative without hesitation. She is especially skilled in cleaning and organizing spaces, bringing a sense of order and care wherever she works. During her stay, she also helped paint several spaces beautifully. On top of that, she is a great cook and always ready to lend a hand with anything that’s needed. Ilaria enjoys meaningful conversations and is open to many different perspectives, cultures, and philosophies—it’s clear that her studies in psychology are a natural fit for her. We truly enjoyed the time we spent together and are sure our paths will cross again in future adventures. She is always welcome to return and be part of our project and dream. Warmly recommended

Alizée was a superstar! She was so kind, and so down for new experiences and being part of the family and community. Her positivity and can-do attitude was a pleasure to be around. Plus she was always attentive to any task given, and carried them out to a high degree of quality. I have no doubt she will be very successful in whatever she decides to do!

Sophia was a fantastic Workaway! She proved to be very skilled at caring for the animals, knowing how to interact with them with kindness and attention, and she adapted perfectly, moving around the area completely independently. We greatly appreciated her kindness in caring for Selva, our pregnant cat, whom she assisted like a true midwife... and with so much fun for everyone! 😄 It was wonderful to meet her, share like-minded ideas, and immediately feel connected. We were truly fortunate to have her here with us: her positive energy, willingness to help, and love for animals made everything more beautiful and easier. Sophia is a special person! It was a true pleasure sharing our time and our little world with her. The animals miss you already. We're happy you enjoyed your stay despite the simplicity of the place, and that you also had the chance to visit our beautiful region. We truly hope this isn't goodbye, but rather a "see you soon!" A big hug from us and all the animals (especially Selva and her children, who will never stop looking for you!).

I stayed 1 week with Kristen and the family and it was so great. The apartment was very modern and they had the best beds. I worked for a few hours a day and many days we went to the beach or did cool hikes, they always had fun ideas for activities and I was never bored. I worked on the outside of the house a lot or did some other jobs outside, it was always fun and if I wanted to do something else that was always okay. I got food for breakfast and lunch and had delicious meals at dinner with them. I would definitely come back here, I really enjoined it.

Mateusz was here with us for almost 4 months and did a lot of great jobs, he is flexible and can handle though tasks. Sometimes communication was not clear but overall not a problem. He is also very polite and helping when you need him. Thanks a lot for your contribution to our project Mateusz, we hope and think you got inspired by the project 🌞 Wishing you all the best in the future on the Canary islands!

I had a great time with Evelien, Nuud and Flynn! I learnt a lot about Belgium and its history, and also the habits and food they have. I enjoyed trying out new vegan/vega meals as well and could test my ideas too. We did some woodworking, sewing and gardening:) We also had another workawayer there, so it was never boring! Evelien was very supportive about my goals and we share the same opinions on a few things so that was also nice🥰 Thanks for having me❤️

Aleks partcipated to our project during one month, we can say for sure that Aleks is a volunteer who comes with strong will and intentions of helping your project in the best way possible and will participate in all tasks and activities going on. He will be proactive and try his best to find things and ways to help you and your project grow. Aleks was open to adapt on some daily routine and communication adjument and overall in the end we found a good balance.

Olivia and Sebastian were with us for about a month. They were fantastic helpers and great to have around. We had several volunteers at the time and they were a very happy and hard working team. Thank you Olivia and Sebastian!

Noemi stayed with us for a week. We really enjoyed hosting her, she was a great weeder and a really nice person. Super cheerful and enthusiastic and a hard worker. We would have loved to have her stay for longer!

I stayed with Suzanne for two weeks. She's very open in her communication and I felt immediatly very welcome. Her place is a paradise, a beautiful garden full of trees and flowers, very quiet and a bird concert every morning! The work was varied and fun to do. I mostly worked in the garden and also helped with some yurt tasks. I stayed in the studio, which is a very comfortable place with good Wi-Fi. Orgiva is within walking distance, a nice little town and you can take a bus to Granada or the mountains. I would definitely recommend this place!
