Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 7

What a nice meeting ! We were very happy and we woul'd say very lucky to have Margaret and Kenneth with us during those 3 weeks ! They are not only interesting, friendly and funny, but also very efficient and highly skilled. And more, they are incredibly hard workers ! They would have worked all day if we hadn't told them to stop ! We could say we consider them now as new friends and we hope to see them again.

We were very happy with Antonin and Lydia. They helped us out with many jobs and were always friendly and helpfull. We had a great time together. I would especially recommend them for jobs related to social media. They are excellent.

Hannah was a great volunteer. Very helpfull and friendly and not afraid to accept any jobs at the farm. Thank you so much Hannah.

I had an absolutely incredible experience staying with Caro. From the moment I arrived, she was warm, kind, and consistently communicative, making me feel welcome and at home right away. My time with her was truly enriching in terms of cultural exchange. I learned so much about the rich artistic history and culture of Céret, and she generously shared her knowledge and passion throughout my stay. She also taught me how to cook some amazing dishes like chicken curry and nettle soup, and even introduced me to foraging for wild asparagus, which was such a unique and memorable experience. There is so much to explore in the area, and I loved visiting the local museums and soaking in all the art and inspiration. Working with Caro was equally rewarding, I enjoyed helping in her garden and assisting in her ceramic workshop, where I learned about processes like slip casting and mold making. It was fascinating and hands-on in the best way. We also spent time enjoying the simple pleasures like going on walks around town, eating fresh oysters at the local market, and visiting beautiful ceramic exhibitions together. These moments made the experience even more special. Overall, my stay with Caro was unforgettable. I’m so grateful for everything I learned and experienced, and I would highly recommend staying with her to anyone looking for a meaningful and inspiring Workaway opportunity.

Diana ha pasado unos días en casa con su perrita Dana, colaborando en todas las tareas de la granja y la casa. Sólo tengo palabras buenas para ambas. Pese a la corta estancia, se ha involucrado al cien por cien. Rápida al comprender el montón de cosas a tener en cuenta en una casa autosuficiente con una granja llena de animales. Dana es un perrita muy bien educada, limpia y alegre a la que se ve feliz compartiendo nuevas experiencias y tiempo con su ama. Diana es muy interesante, rápida aprendiendo, muy trabajadora e implicada y lo mejor: una GRAN PERSONA. Ojalá la vida vuelva a cruzar nuestros caminos.

Curtis arrived with us on a 2 month placement. After several teething problems, he carried out the work well..... I myself had family issues, which meant I had to go back to UK for 2 weeks whilst he was here, so there were some extra duties for him to do. He got on well with the animals & birds and showed interest in their wellbeing. 99% of the working time was good and adhered to. We would recommend him for future placements, but would suggest that FULL instructions are given.

I really enjoyed my stay with Bron and the doggies! I asked very last minute if I could stay, but it was no problem at all and I could arrive the next day already! my main goal was to learn more about local life in North Queensland and this was perfect for that! I could choose between 2 bedrooms and I had my own bathroom. At the moment there were 4 dogs and, although they are big, they are super sweet and chill. The tasks I did were mostly in and around the house with a bit of gardening. You get a clear list of all the tasks you have to do that day, so you know what is expected of you. During my days of I went to the public pool or Bron brought me to a beach for a walk. I also could join here sometimes when she went out so you also see something of the local area. We even took a swim in a croc free river! Overall this was a really good experience and I am very glad I found this. I have nothing but good words to say about Bron herself and the dogs and I can reccomend this to anyone!

This was my first Workaway experience, and I absolutely loved it! I stayed for one week on the beautiful land of Eline and Ashok. Another Workawayer was there at the same time, as well as Eline’s sister, and I really enjoyed spending time with them during our free time. Eline and Ashok are very friendly and open hosts, and I felt comfortable from the very beginning. They communicate clearly about the expected work, and everything is totally manageable. The area around Maro is incredibly beautiful, and there are so many things to do in your free time: stunning beaches, numerous hiking trails, yoga, visits to Nerja, relaxing on the cliffs on the property, watching breathtaking sunsets, spotting dolphins, and more. I will keep this experience very warmly in my memory 💕

It was great having Stefano here taking care of the house, tasks and especially us ♡ He's easy to work with and takes care of the surroundings before you need to ask. We loved his common sense to maintain the place clean and comfortable and his helpful manual skills. Overall he's always happy to help for anything. We loved especially your vegan cooking and we already miss you. P.S. Let us know when you join the circus and a band with your new juggling and ukulele skills.

Karina, también conocida como Luz, es un nombre que le sienta de maravilla; es un verdadero rayo de sol. Siempre sonriente y de buen humor, es un placer pasar tiempo con ella desde la mañana hasta la noche, ya que trabaja en línea por las tardes. Juntas hicimos deporte, limpiamos la casa y practicamos nuestros respectivos idiomas. Además, es una persona culta, y nuestras conversaciones fueron interesantes y entretenidas. ¡Qué alegría tener esta nueva amiga y qué suerte haberla conocido!

Nous avons fait une très belle expérience humaine avec Lucie. Elle nous a aidé à la maison , avec les enfants à l'école et s'est aussi employé à nous promouvoir sur les réseaux sociaux. Elle a pu mobiliser des fonds pour soutenir le centre et aussi apporter du matériel éducatif et ludique pour les enfants. MERCI INFINIMENT Lucie et Mellynda♥️

Morgane was very welcoming, she took us under her wings very fast, gave us rest and also list of tasks that matches our skills. We felt like home and had everything we needed. Unfortunatly a new opportunity came for us so we left after a month but we would have love to stay more !

Isabelle was such a positive energy and big help at our place! We really miss her now! She learnt new skills with ease and was always curious to discover new things and local culture. She also contributed with her knowledge in wellness and gastronomy - her carrot cake is just delicious! She, being an avid forro dancer, soon had to find a place where people dance more, nevertheless, she still spent a good month with us. We had some real precious moments with her in our team. Thank you Isabelle!

I am not going to write much because it is not necessary. This is a magical family in a magical place. Everything is very positive, specially the energy. This is very much a place that resonates the Workaway spirit. I recommend it as much as I possibly can. Thanks for the wonderful time! I’ll be back often!

I was here for almost two months. The task was housekeeping and dog walking and care. The tasks were exactly what was stated in the job description. The housework was well structured in terms of smoothness and routine. I liked walking the dogs in the park by the river. The environment was very interesting, and I got to know many local people. Many of them knew the dogs. I developed my own routine for jogging with the dogs. The dogs were also motivated by it, and the jogging went smoothly. I think I already miss those moments with dogs. I liked working and spending time with all the other volunteers. You were the best. Thank you all. Osaka, and especially Juso is a very nice place to stay. I enjoyed my free time there walking, cycling and visiting the city and the surrounding areas and towns. I also spent a lot of time with the host family and got to know their friends and acquaintances. Thank you Mika-san and Muco-san for welcoming me. Thank you for all your kindness and hospitality. You were so kind and generous for me. Thanks for all the conversations and laughter. Mika-san, masterchef, you always made the best dinner. Thank you.

Breanna was such a pleasure to have around here in the community and help out with the project. She was fun, willing and eager to learn, adaptable and showed great leadership skills. She took it upon herself to get the tasks done and even thought outside the box of how she could help out in managing the space. We appreciate her openness in helping us out during the beginning stages of the NGO and would certainly enjoy having her back!

Gustavo è stato un ospite eccezionale. Sempre disponibile, rispettoso e con una grande voglia di fare. Si è integrato subito nell’ambiente e ha dato una mano concreta in tutte le attività, sempre con il sorriso. Affidabile e autonomo, ha reso l’esperienza davvero positiva. Consigliatissimo, 5 stelle meritate!

Thomas joined us for around 3 weeks at the start of winter, 2025 (nov/dec) and arrived just days after a massive storm took down several very large trees on our steep land. He immediately got to work cutting up the fallen trees, dragging branches for wood chipping and doing the wood chipping too. He did a superb job of this, working many hours on his own, with care and intensity, and working in rather damp weather too. Following this he assisted us with firewood collection (felling dead trees and stacking wood), and collecting mountains of dead leaves for composting. We are also massively grateful for his input levelling a track that had started washing away down a slope, with all the rain we had. This strenuous task was something we were dreading doing ourselves, being in our mid-60's, with bad backs, but he volunteered for the task and once again did a superb job. We enjoyed his quiet company and engaging conversation and would be more than happy to host him again any time. A superb workaway volunteer.

I stayed almost 3 weeks at sarah's place and left with tears in my eyes. In the beginning I needed some days to adjust myself to the routines and rhythm of the off grid life, but after that I just had the best time. I think the experience depends a little on the weather/ season and if there's other volunteers around, but in every case the animals are super sweet and the view is absolutely stunning, so if you're a nature & animal person this is for you! I'm hoping to come back soon:)
