Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 5

It has been easily one of the best months of my life at Ricardo’s posada, the place is an absolute paradise! Ricardo is an amazing host, he genuinely cares about his volunteer’s well-being and horses are extremely well taken care of! I will miss every second I spent there and I truly hope to return! Thank you so much for everything!

We had an absolutely wonderful time hosting Marie during her two-week stay with us. From the very first day, it felt as though she had always been part of our family—she fit in so naturally and effortlessly. Marie brought such a positive and easygoing energy into our home. She was always helpful, proactive, and thoughtful, often anticipating what needed to be done and jumping in without hesitation. One of the highlights of her stay was definitely her cooking—the meals she prepared were incredibly delicious, and we’re still thinking about them! She also had a great sense of adventure and was always up for trying new things. Marie is kind, reliable, and a joy to have around. We feel very lucky to have met her and would welcome her back anytime without hesitation.

We had wonderful almost two weeks time staying at Fabienne and Olivier's place. We enjoyed their forest style of garden so much and the accommadation is so comfortable and self sufficient, we loved the independance and peace too. During our time, we have done all kinds of maintenance jobs, varies from cleaning the stains of marble surface, clearing weeds and tree roots, painting sanding the wall and wooden front door, cutting pallets wood, to relaying the uneven paviers, helping with palme tree treatment, cleaning windows and shower etc. It was great communication with them and we always get clear instructions on the tasks and we can also rotate between jobs which made it more flexible. We appreciated the food which has been provided and it was great experience chatting and practising some basic french every day with them. This is so fond memories and we are happy about the achievement here and there during our stay. All the best Fabienne and Olivier, merci beaucoup pour your hospitality.

I worked with Kuba - Ben's business partner mostly doing marketing/admin/personal assistant work. It afforded me the opportunity to get real experience in a field I'm passionate about and assist one of the most compassionate and lovely humans! I met Ben briefly and can attest to his love of nature, polite, kind and quiet ways. I initially thought I'd be doing more hard labor but was pleasantly surprised when I was offered the opportunity to help scout for other sites and do some marketing work. I was very well cared for - Kuba and Ben made a point to ensure I had everything I needed and I was treated SO well! I have been back in the U.S.A for a couple of weeks now and I'm still processing my travels. Should you go and help Ben & Kuba? YES - they are a wonderful team with big endeavors and bigger hearts. What an incredible time - I am so grateful to know them and have had the experiences I did. Sitting back at work at my desk job is so surreal now LOL I would recommend these hosts to all travelers looking to change their lives, it certainly changed mine. To Ben and Kuba - much love and gratitude to you both, thank you for everything, may health, wealth, and abundance in every flavor find us <3

I Had a really great experience The place is beautiful, peaceful, and full of good energy The host is such a interesting human :) I'm already planning to go back again, at some point :D

Estelle se quedó un mes en nuestra finca. Es de esas personas que se integran super bien de una vez y con quién nos sentimos muy cómodos. Primero su español es excelente ya que tiene familia española. Entonces la comunicación fue muy fluida entre todos. Segundo es una persona muy trabajadora y sin pereza, que se volvió rápidamente indispensable en la vida cotidiana. Entre otras cosas, nos ayudó con el proceso del café (aunque había poquito porque no es la temporada), con el cuidado de los numerosos patitos que nacieron (atraparlos, cambiarles el agua, la comida etc.), con el trabajo de huerta (deshierbar, sembrar) y con la cosecha, selección y el corte de chachafrutos para deshidratarlos. Un trabajo largo que Estelle hizo con mucha paciencia! También ayudaba mucho con las tareas cotidianas como lavar los platos, limpiar la casa etc. Tercero, es una persona muy generosa, que nos trajo quesos de Francia y una cositas mandadas por la familia de Clem. Siempre tuvimos conversaciones muy interesantes y compartimos muy chéveré. Y por fin, ella tiene mucho amor para los animales y nos ayudó con una muy lindas publicaciones para la cuenta de Instagram. Por todo eso, muchas gracias Estelle y vuelva cuando quieras a ver todos los patitos ^^

I spend 6 beautiful weeks at this place. It was after the big storm and unfortunately the property has been affected too. So for a time there was no electricity at all but that was before I came to the Quinta. Nathan asked me beforehand if I still want to come since it was not sure when it will be back, the whole area there was affected and without electricity. I didn't think about it long and still went to it. I very much appreciated the transparency and communication with Nathan for all my stay there. He was always clear with the tasks and the instructions and most of the time there were enough tasks you could choose from depending on what you would like to do or your skills. The days off were flexible and you would always discuss in the morning or on the "monday meeting" (not always on a monday :D) what's the agenda and priority, who wants to do what, when you want to take days or time off, who cooks when, feedback, questions, concerns. We always did the cooking in turns and I liked that we always had dinner (and mostly all meals) all together. The tasks were various; feeding the pets, smaller or bigger building projects, gardening, organizing/cleaning, sewing. Nathan put a lot of trust in you and you could manage your work hours independently but made sure that he is available for questions or you would work together. He always cared about your wellbeing, made sure you feel comfortable and have fun. The Quinta is such a unique place and the whole property and garden has a beautiful ambience. We had some sauna sessions and the pool is getting ready for the season too. Sometimes we went to Pachamama; a cute vegetarian restaurant/bar where they have small concerts or open mics. We had some movie nights with popcorn or playing Settlers of Catan, a few jam sessions. We cooked nice food, baked cakes, went hiking. And the work never felt like work work, even though on a few days it was very physical but I always woke up motivated and excited for the day and the work because I really became part of the project and the vision, so I would say I put my heart into it and loved to see things evolving to make this place even better. I am missing Minnie and Max and the sheep :(. So be prepared for lots of cuddles! Life is good at the Quinta, you lack nothing. I loved the vibe and my whole time there. I didn't even want to leave. Nathan is a kind and humorous person and a great host. I will definitely come back to visit or for volunteering. I can genuinely highly recommend this workaway! Everyybody huuurts ;) Sending lots of love!

amazing couple!!!! you're welcome

Gina was a fantastic Workawayer — smart, independent, calm, and very easy to work with. She adapted quickly, took initiative, and brought a peaceful, positive vibe to the house. Highly recommended! Would host again without hesitation.

Luca was a dream workawayer - kind, polite, hard-working, fun to hang out with, capable, bright and curious person. His creative gardening skills were top notch. He got along with all the animals like he was one of the pack. And he went along with dancing, hiking and socializing propositions with equal consideration and easy-going generosity of spirit. I highly recommend him as a trustworthy and steady human. Thank you Luca for taking such good care of all of us!

Juan y Sofia han trabajado bien, cumpliendo con las tareas y cuidando animales y plantas mientras que estaba fuera. Son muy simpaticos y personas honestas, pero la conversación un poco basica. A veces olvidaban reponer las cosas en su sitio y hasta han perdido mis llaves, pero al final todo salio bien. Parecia estar preocubado con moverse a Mallorca (cosa que en mi perfil he pedido que no postulan gente buscando a moverse aquí). En fin, buena gente. Espero que todo les vaya bien aquí.

Francesca se fue ayer de casa y mis perros ya la extrañan. Se quedó unas tres semanas y cocinó de todo. Incluso mi hija probó un helado de café casero que le encantó. Fue un placer recibirla! Abrazo gigante, Francesca!

I worked with Dan and Andy from October 2024 to March 2025, and if I could, I would go back! It was my second Workaway experience, and I couldn't have hoped for better. Dan and Andy are generous and passionate people. They trusted me deeply and never stopped encouraging me to improve and build my confidence. I highly recommend this place! I felt like home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you've given me and i wish you the best of the best ! <3

Saskia was such a sweet and kind person! She has a very warm energy, is easy to be around, and quickly became part of our routine. She also introduced us to a great coffee, and of course, she completely fell in love with passion fruit Snickers hehe. We’re really grateful for the time we shared and would happily host her again. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Evan as a Workawayer. From the very first moment, he surprised me: he arrived riding a small BMX bike fully loaded with all his backpack and gear, determined to cycle around Europe on it. Absolutely amazing! He was always eager to help with anything that needed doing. He was proactive, curious to learn, and happy to chat while working in the kitchen. Even in winter, he decided and he was also very happy living in the tipi with a fire on the ground, he told me that he loves the fresh air in the mountains and the nature. On top of that, Evan is a strong and capable guy with solid knowledge of construction. He was a great help in the forest, building new paths and cutting trees , and he also assisted me with fixing the car and the tractor, offering useful advice based on his own experience. Evan, thank you so much for your time and all the hard work you put in. It was a real pleasure having you here. I wish you an incredible journey across Europe and hope our paths cross again someday!

Nicola is very welcoming and friendly! My roommate and I spent the week with him and had a great experience. The work was relatively easy with the exception of taking time. When he was free, Nicola took us around the towns and to sight see all the beautiful places; even taking us out to a few restaurants! The scenery around the farm is beautiful and we never got bored.

Very cool experience, the park itself is so beautiful and unique. The cabin had everything you need and the work was different everyday. On the weekends I got to hang out with some of the workers which was so fun. The team is great, everyone is so nice and helpful. If you want any suggestions for things to do on your days off ask them, they know. I highly recommend this workaway.

Lydia & Rich were such a great addition to our team in 2025. They came to us in the fall, when our operations were already in full flow, and quickly adapted to life in our small but busy whale research lab. They rose to all tasks asked of them with a great attitude, and we'd happily welcome them back again. Thank you, Lydia & Rich!

Volunteering at Jupiter was simply the best possible experience. In terms of work, flexibility, people, food, everything was in perfect balance. The tasks are dynamic, with different things to do every day. The people who work there are super friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend it. I won't mention names because everyone was special, thank you for everything.

O Magno foi voluntario na Casa 8 e buscou colaborar durante o dia a dia nos turnos.
