Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 7

Hi time with Anna was great; this was my first workaway-trip and Anna was the best first host I could have asked for. The tasks were very clearly communicated and Anna always made sure that there was enough to eat and tea to drink :). It was nice to see the progress I made in renovating the garden, and whenever I had any questions or needed anything Anna helped me. Even though it was january the landscape was still very beautiful! Emilio is the nicest dog ever and I really enjoyed spending time with them both!

Ezéquiel est resté plus de 3 semaines et c’était super. Il a progressé très vite en français et à la fin de son séjour il comprenait les plaisanteries et l’humour ce qui est aussi un signe d’adaptation et d’intégration à notre vie familiale. Ezequiel en quelques mots : il est sympa, toujours de bonne humeur, très serviable, volontaire et enthousiaste dans tout ce qu’il entreprend. Il est ouvert d’esprit et prend on compte les remarques. Nous avons partagé de bons de moments conviviaux, les fêtes de Noel, les jeux de sociétés, le vélo, les films et nous avons aussi partagé des bons moments de travail autour de la cuisine des courses, du ménage du soins aux animaux poules et chats et un peu de bricolage et jardinage. Nous espérons te revoir

Salome and Finn were a real great couple to have over. They worked hard and are super professional in garden / wood / construction work. I think we all had a very nice week together. Even though their Spanish is not the best they integrated very well with the locals coming over. I wish them the best for the rest of their journey and hope to see them again some time in the future!

I volunteer with Siri for 3 weeks and that was my best experience ever in workaway . Since the day I got in her home i felt welcome, I had my own room and the work was very easy, the kids are amazing and Siri is always around and very open minded. In our time off she took us around, we watch movies together and do spa nights . I will be for ever grateful for this experience, she is the best host ever, always taking care of everyone, so sweet. Normally I use to have plenty of time to walk around or go even on other cities on the weekends.

I would like to share my experience with Arun and the lovely people around him. His place is a hidden gem — calm, magical, and truly an oasis. Communication was warm and effortless, both before my arrival and once I was there. I’m deeply grateful that I had the chance to meet these wonderful people and spend time in such a special place. I only wish I could have stayed longer, and I wish them all the very best. 🍀

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and honest feedback, Rick. I truly appreciate you sharing both the challenges and the positive sides of your stay. For me, finding the right match is essential, and I’m very glad to hear that the experience contributed to your personal growth and that our values and ethics aligned — this is the foundation for a meaningful and sustainable farm experience, exactly how I value a good match. I especially enjoyed our many evening conversations, talking about life, choices, and future opportunities. Sharing reflections, perspectives, and everyday experiences is an important part of hosting for me (when I have time), and I truly believe you have a bright future ahead of you in your academic field. Good communication is something I value highly in daily farm life. While small misunderstandings can naturally occur when people live and work closely together, I’m glad we were able to address things openly and learn from them along the way. Life on a small, values-based farm is hands-on and varied. It can be demanding at times, but also deeply rewarding, especially for those interested in sustainability, learning practical skills, and being actively involved in everyday farm life. I appreciate you highlighting the learning opportunities and skill development that came with the experience. Thank you again for your time, effort, and presence during your stay. I wish you all the very best in your future travels and projects.

Ellie is absolutely lovely, helpful and has such a bubbly and lively personality. She is very keen and enthusiastic, nothing is too much trouble and the kids loved her and still talk about her. Very easy to have around, super respectful and incredibly talented. Ellie came to us for an exchange where she painted a huge mural, which she completed beautifully. Not only did she manage to paint the mural, she also painted another smaller mural, and painted our new hobbit entrance door to the yurt tent with a realistic landscape. Thank you Ellie, for everything, we will treasure your art and our memories together forever ❤️

Matilde, Janna, Alex and all the other Workaway Team have been like a true tribe away from home in a time where, after several Workaways, I was quite needing it. The whole group bonded which clearly contributed to the overall great experience of everyone being treated with both warmth and respect which in turn lead to a great work environment. I’m also very happy that I had the possibility to participate in the closing party where I was able to meet a lot of the other community! If you’re looking for a place to stay where you can balance fun work with leisure time, look no further, this is it! Thank you for everything and really hope to meet all of you soon 🫶🏼

Working with Yassin has been a truly transformative experience. He is a rare kind of leader who guides with both profound vision and genuine kindness. His passion for the school is contagious, and he makes me feel valued and inspired. If you are looking for a mentor who listens, supports, and shares his knowledge generously, you couldn't find a better host. An unforgettable experience!

Sofia was a wonderful volunteer and a great teacher. She taught our students how to bake, and they truly enjoyed learning with her. Her food is absolutely delicious, and she loved sharing her cooking skills. She is kind, patient, and very friendly with the students. Sofia always created a positive and comfortable learning environment. She was responsible and well-prepared for her activities. The students felt happy and confident when learning with her. She adapted very well to the local culture and daily life. Sofia has a great attitude and is easy to work with. We would happily welcome her back again in the future. Wish you all the best,Sofia 🥰🙏

I could unfortunately only stay at Mamatas place for 4 days. Only being at a place for such a short time and feel at home that fast never happened before to me. What an incredible experience! Mamata and her daughters are so lovely and caring and wanted to make my stay the best. She organized my bus from Pokhara directly to their house and then back to Kathmandu (got up in the middle of the night to bring me there without hesitating), as well as the jungle safari in the community forest. At the moment there is not much field work to do, still I could help with collecting the dried mustard plants and one evening separating the leaves from the seeds with the machine. Taking Rocky for a walk, going to Mamatas school when there was a fiest day, going to church with them on Saturday,... the list of things I experienced in that short time is long. I just felt like a part of the family and joined a Nepali rural life. The food is just amazing (Priscilla is an excellent cook!!) and Mamata was concerned that I got enough as she is aware that a lot of westerns are used to 3 meals instead of the 2 meals in Nepal (Dal Bhat power ;)). I couldn't say more how happy and grateful I am for this nice experience - thanks Mamata for everything! I'd come back any time to this amazing place where life is still slow and in rhythm of the nature.

Agradecido de haber estado y compartido tantas buenas experiencias con Juan, quien sabe muchísimo de historia y arte. El lugar es hermoso y se disfruta de cada zona de la casa, la cual tiene su historia, su razón y su construcción particular. Además disfrute con los invitados que fueron llegando a la casa, por sus saberes, su música y bondad. Totalmente recomendado.

Hiroshi is a great host, but above that, he is a great person with an interesting and inspiring story. I would highly recommend to anyone who stays in Tokyo to join the other 180 travellers who stayed with Hiroshi. it's a great way to see Tokyo through the eyes of a local, and an amazing opportunity to meet such a special person and make a great friend.

Marloes was a pleasure to have on our farm. She is very diligent and hardworking and good company!

Agradecido totalmente por esta experiencia. Me sentí como en casa y aprendí muchísimo, Claire, Chico y sus niñas quedarán siempre en mi corazón. Muchas gracias 🫂

Clarisse and François were friendly, respectful, willing to help and easy to have around. They completed tasks as agreed, and remained positive and cooperative throughout. Unfortunately, due to extreme weather, I had to cancel the stay earlier than planned. They both handled this with understanding and flexibility, and I would genuinely welcome them back at another time of the year, when circumstances allow for a fuller experience.

Oh what a delight to have Mieke stay with us! She tackled a variety of tasks with enthusiasm and wasn't afraid to give anything a go.... painting, power tools, weeding and planting. She was so easy to have around and was such an interesting and inspiring young woman to have on the property. We know there are going to be some beautiful planted areas which will be attributed solely to her willingness to put in some hard labour. Thank you Mieke. Enjoying the bat hospital together and standing on the bridge in Herberton at dusk as our own local colony streamed overhead will remain a lovely memory of your stay with us ..... enjoy your travels and know our door is always open!

Excelentes! Muy activos! Hicimos un gran equipo!

Leni and Jonas is a wonderful young couple. Had a really good time with them. Easy going, always helpful and not afraid of work, outside in the land or helping around the house... Even delishes lunch made by them !!! The time they stayed at the farm was too short so I really hope to host them again on their next journey to Andalusia. Wish you all the best guys!!
