Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 6

I stayed about 10 days at Stefan's and everything has been amazing! The environment is awesome, the whole house and forest is beautiful and typical, food was great and everything we did has been inspiring. Stefan is very interesting, his two daughters are so sweet and enjoyed big walks with Zelda. Absolutely recommend this experience!!

Stephanie was a perfect volunteer ! always ready to help ,at what there was to do ....And pleasant in thé commun life .She Can come again with great pleasure !!! André.

We had a nice video call and agreed on certain dates. Then, as the date are approached, she stopped replying to our messages both in WhatsApp and in Workaway. She never showed up.

Christy is a very nice person, very alive and very helpful with our 14-y-o boys. Having her at home was easy. She’s welcome back any time

Absolutely wonderful people in a wonderful big farm. I sadly only had the time to stay for 1 week but it was an incredible experience. Andrea and Neville were incredible friendly, smart and experienced people. I had the pleasure to get to know their entire family and they were all really cool! The work was great and really flexible with their schedules. The accommodation and food were also amazing! I had so much fun going with Neville on the Harvester and getting to know how they work on a day to day basis. Their coworkers were all super friendly and it felt like one big family. They have seen, it feels like, the entire world, so there is always something to learn from them! :) Its really fascinating to see what it takes to get our everyday food and am incredibly thankful for people like them! I wish you all the best in the future and hope to keep in touch via email sometime! Thank you! :)

It was great to have Sumit here. I appreciate the clear communication both ways, it was easy to help him to enjoy his stay as he was clear with his wishes and expectations. Sumit is flexible, friendly and very patient. He makes excellent food, I was lucky to get to try it on a few occations. Sumit is always happy to help with smaller or bigger things and adjusts to different situations well. I'm happy that the stay was as expected. Thanks for all the help and all the best to future travels and experiences!

We loved having Julien and Guillemette stay with us. They were very helpful, respectful and lots of fun. They worked well together with us to complete the many jobs on our list. And they helped us improve our French. We would highly recommend them to other hosts. We have certainly made some new friends and plan to keep in touch.

Gracias por toda tu ayuda, Jordi. Muy agradecido. Eres más que bienvenido a quedarte cuando vayas a hacer una gira en tu autocaravana.

Saki was honestly such a lovely person to have in our home. She is very polite, respectful, and kind, and she fit into our family life so easily. It quickly felt very natural having her here and she became part of our little family during her stay. She mainly helped us with housekeeping and always did it with a good attitude. She was tidy, thoughtful, and very easy to have around the house. Our kids also enjoyed the time they spent with her doing origami and playing board games. She has a very sweet and gentle nature. We really loved having Saki stay with us and we will miss her. We will definitely keep in touch and she is always welcome to come stay with us again. We highly recommend her to other hosts.

Our time with Sofia and her family will now be one of my most memorable experiences. She is a amazing person who welcomes you into her home with open arms and a beautiful spirit. We spent our days working and learning together, about agriculture spicifically planting seedlings, harvesting and creating garden beds, as well as helping to construct their new greenhouses! Every work day was accompanied with music and laughter. Helping on their incredible project was so rewarding! We ate lunch together after working and spent time getting to know eachother, making the whole experience even more special. The surrounding area is beautiful and on the weekends we were able to adventure into Puerto Varas as well as explore the beautiful nature of the South. The center of town is only a short bus ride away and is beautiful and lively, surrounded by volcanoes and lakes, as well as trekking trails and rivers! I stayed three separate times with Sofia, because the magic of her home and garden kept pulling me back!! We will always look back on our time with Sofia and her beautiful family with so much love and thanks for the memories we created together. ❤️❤️❤️

Participate in this project was really unique and pleasant experience. Providing food for poor gives you special filing, which is hard to describe. Location is great, California country side, you'll meet a lot of interesting people and eat delicious food. They will take you to different trips like snowshoeing or exploring seaside. All the best in the future and thanks again for a great workaway experience.

Robert stayed with us for two weeks and was a pleasure to host. He’s a quiet, polite guy who worked carefully on sanding plaster and painting. Communication was easy, and he approached every task reliably and responsibly. Robert fitted in well and respected the house routines, making the stay smooth and enjoyable.

Great

I volunteered at Manfred’s shelter for five weeks, and it was an experience that truly changed my life. It’s a place full of meaning and depth, and I’m already making plans to come back! Living under the same roof as the kangaroos is magical. You learn so much about their unique personalities and how to care for them with the love they deserve. The work is hands-on and fulfilling—from the morning cleaning routine to feeding. Manfred is so passionate; he takes you along on rescue missions and teaches you everything from general facts about wildlife to specific medical care, such as changing bandages on injured animals. Manfred is a wonderful host with a great sense of humor. He has created a wonderful community that feels like a second family. If you love nature and don’t mind getting your hands dirty to help these iconic animals, this is the perfect place. Thank you, Manfred, for these unforgettable five weeks. I can’t wait to come back! I already miss this place so much.

Chris and Caro are two lovely people who were an asset to have been our Workawayers on our weedy, slightly rundown orchard. Chris is so practical and did many jobs almost invisibly! He found materials to line a trench containing our main water feed, got a second hand BBQ up and running, and helped our neighbour when the header tank on our house gave us some trouble. He also was instrumental in harvesting and cutting up a swag of bamboo. Caro was good value in the overgrown part of the orchard removing much unwanted weed and tangles of creepers. They were enthusiastic and thorough in everything they did.

We stayed with Ailsa in her home for 11 days and had a wonderful experience! Ailsa is incredibly kind, she did lots of travelling herself and shared many tips and also fascinating stories about aboriginal culture. The work was mainly helping in the garden and Ailsa was very flexible. She provided a list of tasks and we could choose what to do, when, and how much. We had plenty of free time to explore Perth and its surroundings. We really enjoyed our stay and are hoping to come back at some point soon! Thank you Ailsa!

Karen is a lovely host! She welcomed me with open arms. She is easygoing and super funny. The communication was really good and quickly. Although she was busy, she tried to involve me in a lot of things. We shared meals, played games and spended some time together in the weekend. You have everything that you need in the apartment which is next to where Karen lives and the school. The time I was there, there were not a lot of student and sometimes they also cancelled so you had lot's of free time. Thanks a lot Karen 🫶

Our (first ever) workaway experience with Oscar and Ivonne was wonderful. Communication with Oscar was easy and crystal clear from the start and during our entire stay. The things that stood out to us were: 1. Flexibility - of working hours, projects, days we wanted to take off. We especially appreciated this since we came with out 1.5 year old and really needed the flexibility. 2. They genuinely cared we had a good time, besides the work - recommended local trails and places to see, made sure we were never overworked, general chill vibe. 3. Child friendly environment - they have kids as well so everyone was welcome to play outside and make a mess :) (there is an outdoor pool, keep in mind if your child is young that they may need to be supervised. there is also a high chair, crib, toys! thank you!!) We had a few rainy days but Oscar made sure we didn't get wet working outside and these were more relaxed, "stay at home", days. We also had beautiful sunny days and went to the beach, Cadiz, Sevilla and did some hiking. The area is beautiful. Our work was coordinated with us with plenty of options, we found it straightforward and satisfying. Other things to note: * I would highly recommend to rent a car if you are coming, the place is in an area of private properties, without anything to do in the immediate vicinity, and the closest town (barbate) is mostly accessible by car (5 min). My brother went running to Barbate without a car from the house, but for non-runners it's not very walkable. We were happy we rented a car for our entire stay. * This isn't a social experience built around volunteers/travelers but rather a family living their day to day life, with additional units that you stay in. You will get comfortable accommodation(!!), good privacy and simple, friendly interaction, but if there aren't other volunteers at the time don't expect a big social scene. Great if you're coming with a friend/relative you're happy to spend time with, or are happy having time alone. These were clearly communicated by Oscar before we came and worked great for us. Thank you for a wonderful few weeks, we hope to see you again in the future!

I had the best experience at the ranch. I stayed for one month, and Miguel, his friends and family welcomed me with open arms. I learned a great deal about horses and was able to progress in Spanish too. I definitely recommend joining this experience!

Linda and Janis invited me to stay with them after meeting me down at the stream where I wanted to camp. They are extremely friendly and welcoming people who have a big interest in educating about what they know and where they live. The kids are great too with lots of energy! They prepare traditional Latvian food, showed me Kandava and we went strawberry picking. It was the closest I got to experiencing the Latvian way of life and will definetly go back one day. thank you so much, Linda and Janis:)
