Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 6

We were so happy that Honza (Jan) came for a Workaway stay 🌞 He was here for three weeks and happened to come at a time that we had another Workawayer here as well. It’s always so wonderful to have people come from countries we haven’t hosted before ! The cultural exchange aspect is such an important part of this program 👍🏼 Honza helped us so much. He did outdoor work around the land, including helping to take apart some old roofing. He was such a great help inside washing dishes and other chores around the house! Also, he was REALLY good with the kids and knows how to engage with them in appropriate and helpful ways 🩵 He was able to try surfing while here with our other Workawayer, who was teaching him and our daughter. He was open to any adventures we brought him on 😉 He was always very helpful and useful with a sweet and calm personality. I highly recommend Honza for your Workaway 😊

this is one of the best families I have ever met. Seen positive in me even Jojo helped me to learn the programing, but I wasnt good at it. LOL. The food cooked by Ana is always amazing. They have helped everyone and especially at my worst time. Kids are amazing and always need something creative to do. They are very understanding and helpful, helped me in many ways possible, whether its finding job or making me understand living in Germany. We could use their bike and car if available. Very polite, Gentle and Responsible family to wards each other and towards the workawayers. There are no words to describe their perfection. Thanks very much for your time and help. God Bless you All.

We feel extraordinarily lucky to have met and hosted Jennifer. She went above and beyond with the care of our home and cats, even making us dinner for our return home. She was very considerate and respectful of our home, and sent us regular updates and photos of the cats. She was organized and communicative, asking a lot of what-if questions so she had a clear understanding of what we wanted if any unfortunate situations arose. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a house or petsitter.

Hi had the best time working with Alex . We were working very well together, it was just all en all a very pleasant time to have him working with me. Nothing had to be said twice he was 100% focused and a very hard and efficient Craftsman. We also had a great time hanging out together after work. It was easy to have interesting conversations and a great Cultural exchange. I would take him back anytime.

Alina and Reece stayed one month at our sanctuary and we are really happy about they stay. They were really helpfull, they get the routine pretty fast and were independent at work, what was really appreciated. There were not afraid to work hard, and they were also always down to wake up at night when our new rescue needed help. Alina is really good with horses, Reece were enjoying to learn more about them. Both have a deep love and respect for animals in general. They were taking a really good care of our rescued dogs cats and horses, and also proactive with house maintenance. Following instructions were not an issue for them. We especially enjoyed Alina vegan cakes. They have peaceful and calm personalities, and it’s a pleasure to share with them. We also shared language lesson and Duolingo session, and some yoga session with Alina. We are grateful for the time with Alina and Reece, we recommend 100% this couple of nice, proactive and respectful people.

It was great opportunity to dive deep into Amazonia and chocolate processing;) place is amazing arounding wild nature, the family is great host from big heart ❤️ chocolate is delicious 💫

This was my first experience with workaway. I am worried that they have set the bar so high that I may never find another as good. They were a pleasure to have with us. Hard working, easy to talk to! I would host them again and again if possible.

If you want your project to go all the way, you might just get Chrisotphe's help ! It was a pleasure to host him. He's very determined and willing to get the job done nice and neat, whether he knows the task or not. He has a keen sense of obversation and is a fast learner. We had plenty of good chat, good meals and he adapted really easily to our daily routine. And of course if you have a chance to see the magic happen when you see him handle the sewing machine : most of my dressing room is now patched up !

Merci Xavier pour ce séjour, et pour ton accueil ! J'ai adoré le cabanon, les chèvres, le travail, la nature, les avocats et les repas partagés. J'ai appris plein de trucs sur la région, les plantes du jardin, et que la socca c'est incroyable. C'était vraiment le parfait moyen de commencer mon voyage dans le coin ! Je reviendrai avec plaisir sur le chemin du retour :) En attendant, je te souhaite le meilleur pour tous tes projets de vie et de constuction Bisous à tous les habitants de la maison et à bientôt, Céleste

We enjoyed a lot having Veronika in our finca. She stayed with us for one week and helped us with different kind of work like in the garden, with the harvest, collecting biomasa, prunning, cleaning trenches and other things. She turned out to be the most enthusiastic person opening the very hard sacha inchi seed even doing it until the afternoon. She loves being in the nature. Veronika is a very friendly and helpful person. She is interest in learning new things and we enjoyed a lot her company. All the best for you Veronika!

I had such an amazing experience there.From the very first day, I felt truly welcomed and included. Carlos is really nice and helpful and the volunteers was amazing ! The atmosphere was positive, respectful, and easy-going. I especially appreciated the cultural exchange, the meaningful conversations, and the moments we shared together. I learned a lot during my stay, both personally and practically. I would highly recommend this host to anyone who is open-minded, motivated, and ready to get involved. Thank you again for your kindness and trust — I’m leaving with wonderful memories!

Pierre and Sarah (brother and sister) stayed with me for a week. They are very sweet and kind people and trying their best in every way and most important: they were hard working. Since they came with gardening experience, esp Pierre is quite knowledgeable, I had a particular project for them. It was a difficult and challenging project, but they very eagerly did the job and I am happy. When Pierre at the very end also strimmed my whole property, I was even more happy. The only problem was the communication, because their English is very poor. This was a pity, because real conversations were impossible and it also let to some little misunderstandings. Fortunately we have google translator today. However, it was nevertheless a pleasure to meet and host them.

Tuba stayed with us from February 3rd, 2026 to March 13th, 2026. We thank her for her invaluable help. She completed all tasks to our complete satisfaction. Her love for the chickens deserves special mention, as does her valuable assistance with feeding and cleaning the coop. She particularly enjoys cleaning, and she does it perfectly – thank you, Tuba! Unfortunately, she is leaving us on March 13th to take on a new challenge. We wish her all the best and highly recommend her to any host.

Gustavo is a wonderful person — kind, empathetic, respectful, and eager to help. He is very attentive and curious, genuinely interested in things and in learning from everything around him: customs, food, language… He stayed with us for almost five months and built a good relationship with the whole family, including our children (who, as teenagers, are not always open to conversation), the grandmother, all our relatives, and especially with our dog Viola, his companion on many long walks. If you have the opportunity to host him, you will surely recognize all his qualities for yourselves.

Dear Maia, We had a wonderful stay at your place in Ibiza. We did all kinds of work at your place, gardening, make a door for your cave, make a compost basket, cutting a olive tree etc. There was a good balance between work and spare time to discover the beautiful island Ibiza. We felt very welcome at your place. You made very nice dinners for us and we had some interesting discussions. One night your grandchild was staying with you. It was also fun to see you so happy with your grandchild. You're also a good grandma who's trying to teach her grandkid about how beautiful the nature is. Maia, thank you for everything. With love, Jurjen and Yvonne

Spyros was very nice with us, we made differents things in the monastery and every morning we had the opportunity to chose the task we are more able to do. It is a pleasure to speak with him and the other workaways. We ate delicious lunch and dinner every day. It is easy to feel home. Thank you Spyros !

I met Sarmad through Workaway and it was a truly valuable experience for me. From the beginning he was clear in communication, respectful, and open to ideas. Working together felt comfortable and balanced. There was a good rhythm between responsibilities and normal conversations, which made the whole stay feel authentic. I learned a lot from him, not only in practical terms but also through our discussions and the way he approaches things. I really appreciate that. I hope he also learned something from me, because for me the best part of Workaway is mutual exchange and growth. I am grateful for the time we shared and I wish him success in everything he plans for the future.

Bobo was an excellent member of the team and really brought a great energy to our hostels. He effortlessly completed all tasks assigned to him and was an absolute delight to be around! Everyone enjoyed his presence and infectious smile. If you ever get the chance to have Bobo volunteer for you we strongly suggest that you let him join your team!

Elena and Gianmarco are very generous, kind and caring people. My friend and I stayed at theirs for three weeks in February and we can’t think of a better place to spend our time during these rainy weeks in Italy. I got to experience their great hospitality from the first day on, when Elena agreed to pick me up at the train station at 5 in the morning. We stayed in a very nice bedroom with a balcony in their very cozy apartment, which gave us enough privacy without feeling isolated. They made sure that we felt like home from the first day on and Elenas amazing cooking gave our days of hard work the perfect break in between. My friend and I helped them mostly on the different parts of the farm, we collected leaves, build plant-beds, helped with installing a water system for the greenhouse and cleaned the olive trees. The work was always very manageable and the working hours flexible. When there were some harder days, Elena and Gianmarco always looked out for us, making sure we were okay, well-fuelled and overall happy. Whenever we had some free time, they always offered to give us a ride to a town/train station near by which gave us the possibility to really explore the area, including visiting San Marino, Rimini, Bologna and even Florence! Elena knows a lot about history and has the best recommendations what to visit in each place. Our personal highlights about our stay with Elena and Gianmarco: the pasta-making classes, the long coffee breaks, an ice-cream dinner at a gelato shop, our trip to the most magical ceramics place, singing along to songs on the radio with Elena while driving and our most delicious picnic in the greenhouse. Thankyou for Everything!

Like most people, I clicked on the profile because I saw animals. So I'm sorry to disappoint that there are non left (except a black cat). Obviously I was told about this when I contacted Gail and I was still eager to come to farm non the less. So what did I do on a farm with no animals to take care of? Gail asked if me to help her to clear, organize and fix the building/ tools on the farm, which included painting, scraping, moving and removing anything she asked me to do. I personally enjoy this type of work and it was never to daunting, in fact I got a lot of time to work on my own personal stuff. Furthermore, Varna is really close by as it's only one bus ride away as it takes about 30m to travel to Varna and the bus is every hour which is handy too. Also I enjoyed the challenge that came with living on the farm during the winter period, with plenty of snow and water freezing with plenty of nights with a cat and a water bottle as my night time buddies. Lucky right before I left the weather has started to get warmer so snow shouldn't be a problem anymore. Overall I had am amazing time away from busy roads and the towns people were nice to me too and I'd love to come back in the future to see how much of the farm will have changed. p.s. I am the cat's favourite person, so don't even bother trying 😏😌
