Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 7

Yuri ha sido una gran voluntaria, amable, siempre con una sonrisa en la cara y muy buena cocinera. Ha mantenido en orden la casa y la limpieza y en especial ha sido muy cuidadosa y cariñosa con mi perrita 🐕 Nana, tanto ha sido así que iba con ella a dormir 💤 Deseo que todo te vaya muy bien por Japón y como siempre digo, si regresas a España las puertas de mi casa 🏠 estarán abiertas para recibirte 😃

Staying at Simon's was my first workaway experience and it couldn't have been any better. I was there for a little over one month, during Christmas and new years. This was my first Christmas away from my family but it felt just as special. The atmosphere at Simon's is very light and fun and he's a very caring host, always making sure every volunteer feels safe and has their needs met. The work can consist of many different tasks and there's more than enough free time to explore the beautiful surroundings of Mauléon, so it's hard to get bored there. I had uncountable adventures, all incredible experiences. What I loved the most about this workaway was the sense of community. I felt very comfortable with everyone, we all had so much fun together and I made friends for life <3. DISCLAIMER: If you decide to go you might get really spoiled eating a lot of delicious food every day and Simon might get you hooked into some British reality tv show. Don't say I didn't warn you before! I'm extremely grateful for Simon having reached out to me and I would've said yes again and again.

We felt very welcomed at this place. The place is beautiful and comfortable. There's lots of useful tools to use and many different jobs to do, you wont get bored. We enjoyed jamming with him and friends. Also it was a nice and safe place for our kid to run around. We spent 3 weeks there and although it was raining most of the time, we still enjoyed our time there. Thank you!

What started as a slightly chaotic sunset arrival – with all of us trying to maneuver their impressive truck into our parking lot after some unexpected delays – turned into one of the most enriching experiences we have had hosting. We are talking about a family of six (two adults and four kids) who came for a trial weekend, extended to a week and ended up becoming part of our tribe for nearly a month. Now, we have to be honest – the idea of welcoming six more people when we already had a full house could have felt overwhelming. But this crew proved that community is not really about numbers, but more about energy and connection. They dove right in with genuine help wherever it was needed, shared great meals (their home-baked bread on the fire was delicious), and brought a nice touch to our daily rhythms. The conversations around our table became richer, the laughter louder and the work lighter with them by our side. The kids were polite, playful and blended naturally with our children. Watching them all run around together, creating their own little universe of games and adventures, reminded us why we love this communal way of living. Our door is always open to you guys, whenever the road brings you back our way. We hope the winter Sicilian weather will be a tad more enjoyable next time!! To any hosts reading this: yes, it's a bigger crew, but they're absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!

Leni e Linnart sono due ragazzi stupendi! Hanno un amore smisurato per la natura e gli animali! Abbiamo condiviso tanto bel tempo insieme ed è stato bellissimo! Sono due ragazzi giovanissimi ma con grandissima voglia di fare, hanno sempre lavorato più ore per rendere tutto pulito e perfetto e anche nei loro days off mi chiedevano sempre se avevamo bisogno di aiuto e questo è incredibile! Precisi, puntuali, puliti, sorridenti e sempre pronti ad aiutare, non avrei potuto chiedere di meglio ! Grazie ragazzi, ci mancate tanto al Rifugio, tornate presto !

We had the pleasure of hosting Anais, Thibault and Kaol for what was initially planned for 2 weeks but ended up being 5 weeks. And let us say, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Help-wise, they were reliable, proactive, and always willing to help wherever needed. Thibault was our expert almonds pruner, while Anais was a jack of all trade, always there to give a hand where needed. It was such a joy to see Kaol play with our kids and enjoy its time around the land. Personality-wise, they integrated beautifully to our tribe. They were friendly, respectful, independent and brought a lovely family atmosphere.We loved to had them around and we surely are going to miss them. Special mention: their dog is really well trained and super calm and joyful around kids. Our oldest is not really comfortable around dogs, but with Isley, it was different. It was really nice to have her around. You guys are welcome back, whenever you want and we highly recommend them to any host looking for responsible, hardworking, and delightful Workawayers.

Nayara was an absolute delight to host! She has a warm and kind energy, always taking care of everyone. We loved her from the moment she walked through the door! She was always on time, profesional, organised and hard working (I would have to stop her from working so much off her shift sometimes!). She quickly picked up all the responsibilities I could give her, and after only a short time, she was training staff, helping with additional duties beyond what was asked of her. It was almost like having an assistant manager at times! From cooking delicious family dinners (that ranged from her native Brazilian food to trying her hand at things she had never cooked before), to hosting Karaoke nights (we'll always hear Meet Me Halfway and think of you), to bringing traditional drinks (who knew red wine and condensed milk would taste so good), music (who is going to play Brazilian funk now!?) and vibes from Brazil to Tirana. We miss you here every day Nayara and can't wait until the next time you come to join us!

I was at Alex's house in Oslo and had a very good time. He is a very quiet,peaceful and very kind person. I helped him assemble a furniture and a bed; the house is just a 5-minute walk from the first tram station and is very well connected to central Oslo! About my experience with him, only great things! I've been fine! 🇮🇹 - 🇸🇯

This was our first workaway experience and we couldn't have dreamed better. Patricia (her husband was away when we were there) was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. She is very kind and always ready to explain what she is doing. The place is incredible, isolated in a beautiful valley. We had our own fully equipped little cabin with our own fire stove and shower. We helped mainly with deherbing the garden, installing hooks for the tomatoes, taking care of the animals and watering the plants. Since it was spring, there were a lot of duck eggs hatching and it was an amazing and enriching experience to take care of them. We chose to share all the meals with Patricia and her daughters, as we got along well. Meaning we helped also with the cooking and with cleaning the dishes and baking some delicious desserts. Since Patricia is used to speaking English with the workawayers, we ended up speaking very little Spanish (mostly with the girls, but they are quite shy). We highly recommend this workaway ❤️

Staying with Emma and Matt has been an amazing experience. Initially we were only meant to spent two weeks with them but came back for another two. We missed the company, the amazing nature of Blewitt springs and of course Lainey, their dog! As we don't own a car, we spent a lot of time on their property and exploring the immediate area, which was lots of fun. Emma and Matt also took us around, showing us some of their favourite spots and local events. The area is full of culture and of course good wine. The house is very comfy, the food nutritious and healthy and conversations are great. While staying with them we did a lot of weeding, hedging and hoeing, which all felt worth while. Emma's vision of a native Australian paradise is slowly coming together, and it has been lovely being part of it. We hope to come back one day to see it all grown.

It is rare to visit somewhere and immediately feel at home. But at Ash´s place it would've been hard not to! It´s a beautiful, very artsy home and the cottage is petite but has all essentials. We enjoyed the three weeks we stayed with her a lot, doing mostly weeding, raking and lots of mulching. As we don't own a car, we found our way around Mt Barker, with shops within walking distance and even dared to visit Hahndorf :) Ash was always happy to show us around and gave great tips on where to visit. We truly felt like part of the family. Ash and her daughters are great company, and we shared some amazing dinners and conversations with them. We miss them and their loving home, and hope to one day return the favour by hosting them in Europe!

If you are looking for a second family, a beautifull experience with peruvians in an amazing place, take the shot. I felt welcomed even though I didn't speak a word of spanish. I already miss all of you guys ! The help is needed for the restaurant, the camp and the refuge. For the refuge I recommend somoene who studies/works with animals. Otherwise, you will learn a lot in all domains !

Aina estuvo con nosotros un mes. Estupenda: simpática, amable y muy concienzuda con todo lo que hace. Se fue hace unas semanas; ya la echamos de menos. Aina stayed with us for a month. She was wonderful—kind, friendly, and very thorough in everything she does. She left a few weeks ago, and we already miss her.

Sam stayed with us for more than four weeks and it was truly a pleasure to host him. He is very easygoing, friendly, and always ready to help. Sam naturally sees what needs to be done and take initiative, often bringing good ideas and helping to solve problems. He integrated perfectly in our team. Sam clearly enjoys working outdoors and in nature - he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty and is a very hardworking and motivated person. His communication was always open, which made working together easy and comfortable for everyone. We really appreciated having him here and his contribution helped us a lot. Overall, everything worked out wonderfully and we can warmly recommend Sam to any future host. He will be a great addition to any project and community.

Rai is a warm and serious person. He spent three weeks at our house and helped us a lot with the garden and painting some walls. He was also very good with our children. See you soon, Rai! Rai es una persona cálida, a la vez que seria. Pasó en nuestra casa tres semanas y nos ayudó mucho con el jardín y a pintar unas paredes. El trato con nuestros hijos también fue muy bueno. ¡Hasta pronto, Rai!

Nos encantó nuestra estancia en La Florida con Omero. Cada día fue una aventura y ahora tenemos recuerdos que nos acompañarán toda la vida. Nos alojamos en una cabaña de madera junto al río, en el que nos bañábamos casi todos los días, fue increíble!! El terreno es amplio, precioso y lleno de sitios lindos para relajar y disfrutar la naturaleza. El día a día consistía en ayudar con las tareas que iban surgiendo en la finca, además de tener la libertad de proponer y llevar a cabo algo creativo para embellecer el espacio. Algunas de las actividades que hicimos fueron: organizar cardamomo, limpiar y preparar un espacio para crear una casa de cultivo de hongos, cocinar, crear videos promocionales, cuidar los animales, mover materiales para los trabajadores del terreno, pasar tiempo con la familia (y los niños) que viven allí, y también hacer nuestros propios proyectos artísticos. Un buen nivel de español es necesario para aprovechar al máximo la experiencia. Hay una pequeña tienda al otro lado de la calle donde se pueden comprar cervezas o snacks. Muchas gracias a Don Omero, Doña Anita, Don Arvee, Doña Vale, Alis y Sami por esta experiencia tan increíble.

Ildiko stayed with us for about four weeks and was a wonderful addition to our place and team. From the beginning she integrated easily, was friendly, and showed great independence in her work. She helped with many different tasks - from painting rooms, clean up the greenhouse, building the path to the river. She was always motivated and happy to support wherever help needed. Beyond the work itself, she brought a very warm and positive energy to the team. We shared many nice moments together. Overall Ildiko was reliable, friendly, hardworking, and a pleasure to host. We can highly recommend her to any future host.

We got to do housesitting here for about a month in November/December and I gotta say, these guys are great. Super polite, good at explaining things and if things were somehow unclear we could very easily contact them through WhatsApp to ask a quick question and always got help, answers and support when needed. The house is right next to a beautiful forest where we could go on walks, but also close enough to Berlin to do a day trip there if you wanted. The morning and evening round with the horses was straight forward, well explained and showed to us, and only took about 45 minutes, max an hour to complete. One day we had an emergency with one of the horses and they were easy to contact and helped us out through every step of calling vets etc. Like I said, they’re super nice polite people and we really enjoyed our month there helping them out!

Ale y Matías son almas verdaderamente hermosas. Tenerlos aquí fue mucho más que recibir voluntarios… fue recibir familia 🤍 Los extraño profundamente. Desde el primer día, su presencia trajo amor, compromiso y una energía muy especial. Pusieron la casa de pie en muchos sentidos y la transformaron con detalles hermosos que siguen vivos hasta hoy. Su dedicación fue real, constante y llena de corazón. Ale tiene manos mágicas. Me hizo un hermoso yoga mat holder de macramé que es simplemente perfecto. Hasta el día de hoy, cada vez que lo veo, me hace sentir muy feliz y me recuerda su dulzura, su talento y el amor con el que lo creó. Es un regalo que vive en el espacio y en mi corazón. Matías siempre estaba pendiente de todo lo que se necesitara. No hacía falta decir nada — él observaba, entendía y actuaba. Su forma de ayudar era silenciosa, eficiente y llena de responsabilidad. Fue un gran apoyo en todo momento. Más allá de todo lo que hicieron, lo más valioso fue el vínculo que creamos. Compartimos la vida, el hogar, las risas, el trabajo, y una conexión muy genuina. Dejaron una huella profunda aquí. Quiero que sepan que siempre serán bienvenidos. Esta es y será siempre su casa. Espero de corazón volverlos a ver algún día. Los extraño y les agradezco infinitamente por todo lo que dieron y por el amor que dejaron aquí.

María es un ser humano simplemente hermoso, por dentro y por fuera 🤍 Desde el primer momento la sentí como una hermanita, con una energía dulce, pura y muy especial. Tenerla en casa fue un verdadero regalo. Su presencia llenaba el espacio de calma, alegría y ternura. Siempre nos hacía sentir felices de estar juntos, compartiendo momentos simples pero muy significativos. Es una artista increíble. Sus pinturas son hermosas y tienen alma — realmente tiene un don muy especial Fue un privilegio verla crear y compartir su arte con nosotros. Su sensibilidad y creatividad trajeron una energía única a esta casa. También ayudó mucho en todo, siempre con buena disposición, respeto y amor. Es una persona muy considerada, fácil de convivir y con un corazón enorme. Fue muy triste que se fuera tan pronto… nos hubiera encantado tenerla por mucho más tiempo. Dejó una huella muy profunda y un vacío que se siente. Quiero que sepa que esta siempre será su casa. Siempre será bienvenida aquí, como familia. La extrañamos mucho y estamos muy agradecidos por el tiempo, el amor y la luz que compartió con nosotros
