Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 8

The age is only a number. 3 fantastic weeks. Alfons is a big man in every aspects. Big worker, big soul and sometimes too tall for our small mountain doors ah ah ah. We had a very beautiful time with him, he immediately join the team and he helps us a lot in a huge variety of works, from splitting wood to improve our garden with new beds for vegetables. His expert carpenter hands make some miracles and our house is now more beautiful. An overall perfect experience. We wish him all the best for everything.

Avery y Miles estuvieron con nosotros dos semanas y enseguida establecimos una relación estupenda con ellos. Son dos personas realmente especiales. Durante su estancia con nosotros realizaron varios trabajos, tanto con nosotros como individualmente (por ejemplo, completaron la red de senderos de nuestro jardín), siempre con mucho cuidado y dedicación. Avery y Miles son huéspedes muy ordenados y respetuosos, ¡y además cocinaron excelentes especialidades californianas! :) Durante los momentos de convivencia pudimos conocerlos y conversar sobre muchas cosas interesantes y divertidas. Después de solo dos semanas, podemos decir que tenemos dos nuevos amigos que siempre serán bienvenidos en nuestra casa. Gracias, queridos, ¡os deseamos todo lo mejor y mucha suerte!

Felix was an excellent host, extremely polite and kind, friendly and always available, a gracious but never intrusive presence. He was a joker and a conversationalist, always pleasant and willing to participate in family life. Definitely one of the most welcome guests, for him the door is always open. Buon viaggio Felix e buona fortuna!

Nos sentimos afortunados de haber podido tener la oportunidad de hospedar a Sitske por dos semanas. Ella es una persona muy responsable, atenta y, sobre todo, muy cariñosa, que se ganó rápidamente el afecto de todos en la casa. Su estancia fue maravillosa gracias a su disposición y calidez. Esto nos permitió compartir más a fondo nuestra cultura peruana, algo que ella siempre recibió con gran entusiasmo. Sitske siempre será bienvenida en nuestra casa. La recomendamos con muchísima alegría a cualquier anfitrión que busque a una persona fantástica. Le deseamos de todo corazón lo mejor en su camino y un viaje hermoso lleno de éxitos y felicidad.

Ivan and Ceres are passionate folk: passionate about the garden; about people; and, about life. Being here was a full-on experience from the moment they picked me up. I had not realised that syntropic farming was very different from everything I already knew about organic methods of growing and tending the land, and I loved the challenge of learning as I worked. This place is a work in progress as well so it is still being formed, planted and shaped. Ivan is an encyclopᴂdia of information about syntropic farming and generously shared his knowledge all the time. It was wonderful to come out of the Tiny House each morning, step straight into the tasks, and return in the evening with figs, tomatoes, leaves and other food. The Tiny House is not tiny just a lovely place to live! Thank you, Ivan and Ceres, for welcoming me, teaching me, and caring for me while I was with you.

We spent 2 weeks at Lynn‘s in October while she was preparing for an event. This was our first WorkAway and Lynn made us feel very welcome. Her practical daily tasks list meant we were able to get stuck in straight away. As well as the daily jobs, we helped with other projects around the house & garden as well as helping to prepare for a festival Lynn was attending. The work was varied, interesting and flexible. Cooking evening meals on a peat-fired range was an experience! Lynn is an experienced host, self aware and open minded. It was satisfying to contribute and to learn. Lynn's friendly animals are a significant part of any stay here and an inspiration for much of her art. There was fun to be had too - a bonfire gathering of friends & neighbours, shared meals and singing. We would love to volunteer here again in the future. Thank you for a great stay.

Kerem Kerem has been a real joy to have here with us. He's always happy and ready to do whatever task is thrown his way. He's very proactive which is such a welcoming character trait. Kerem's Spanish is advanced and the staff loved him. He was very thoughtful in the house as well and left it spotless. We only wish he could stay longer!!

Ana and Cameron left yesterday…their departure felt as if family or close friends were leaving. I have nothing but positive and complimentary things to say about these guys. Delightful company, fun, interesting, intelligent, well traveled. Anything they were asked to set their hands to they did happily and well. Quick to learn, they adapted to any project that came up. Working together was a pleasure and always with great results. Without doubt, as they continue their world tour, they will embrace everything with open minds and passion. I wish them all the best and very much hope we will meet again.

This is our first workaway experience and it has been fantastic and fulfilled. Celi is an amazing host full of experience. Even though we only stayed with her for a week, we felt that we got to know each other very well. We enjoyed working alongside with Celi, jobs varies from shoveling stones and top soils building a post&rail fence, to making a kitchen cupboard with all recycled materials and moving a garden bed replanting etc.We both felt the sense of achievement after completing the tasks. Celi is a fantastic cook, we enjoyed all her homemade cuisine and meaningful conversation around the dining table with a glass of wine. Thank you Celi so much for sharing this time with us and we wish you good luck on the swimming pool project. All the best,Celi.

Victor est resté quelques semaines pour m’aider sur mon projet et ça s’est super bien passé. On a discuté de sujets très intéressants tout en travaillant sur ma maison ce qui a rendu le temps très sympa. Il est souriant, motivé et attentionné. Je recommande vivement 🤩

Lisa was a super helping hand for us. She got along with the dog, the horses and, not to forget, us very well. She helped in the the stable every morning and with clearing the fences from overgroth, and also with general cleaning jobs arround the house. She cooked delicious meals and like us loved to play card games. We had a good time together and are looking forward to see her back at our place in January again. We wish her a wonderful time and she will sure meet a lot of nice people. We would recomend her to any host.

I had an absolutely amazing time at Helen's and Gabriel's farm. It is one of the most peaceful places I have visited with beautiful mountains surrounding everything and a very refreshing lake to dive into. But more than that, the people made my time unforgettable. Gabriel is a neverending well of knowledge from philosophy to technical skills to social media trends, there is little he doesn't know, which makes for terrific conversations. On top of that he is a very patient teacher and entrusts Workaways with different responsibilities and tasks- for me I learned a lot about woodworking. Helen is the embodiment of positive energy and I am so happy to have met her and get a taste of her delicious jams:)) Thank you Gabriel and Helen you are truly inspirational and thank you for all the laughs, chats and experiences. I hope to see you again soon:))

We couldn’t have asked for a better Workaway experience! These two are an absolutely wonderful couple — warm, motivated, respectful, and truly a joy to have around. From the very first moment, their positive energy and kindness made every day special. They worked incredibly hard during the olive harvest, always with a smile and great enthusiasm. Whether it was long days in the fields, helping around the house, or sharing moments together at the table, they gave their best in everything and brought so much joy, dedication, and good vibes. We had an amazing time together — we laughed a lot and created memories we will keep forever. It was not just work; it felt like being with friends. We feel truly grateful for their help and for the beautiful spirit they brought into our home. We would recommend them 100% to any host — you will be lucky to have them! We can't wait to welcome them back in March!

This was an amazing start for my workaway journey. It was extremely well-managed and organised in a way that everything just flows and encourages you to join in with the rhythm of the place. The sense of community was amazing and the people I have met here left a long, lingering effect on me. My tasks were pretty beginner-friendly and easy: setting up tents, cleaning and gardening. There was plenty of free time to enjoy the place and connect with people. I would definitely consider going back.

I stayed at Ludivine's this summer and I'm glad she was my second workaway experience! Ludivine is a very kind, open-minded woman, I have never felt uncomfortable in her home! If you are looking for a real French experience, this place is for you, Ludivine is always surrounded by fantastic friends and they reflect her soul! Ludivine loves nature and pets! Thanks Ludivine and Indra, maybe we'll meet again

Cam and Amanda stayed with me for about a month, and I can honestly say it was such a joy having them here. From the moment they arrived, they brought such warmth, positivity, and care into my home. They were wonderful company—easygoing, kind, and always ready to lend a hand. Even on quieter days, they somehow found little projects or chores that I hadn’t even noticed needed doing. The garden and landscaping looked beautiful under their care, and the house always felt calm, clean, and organized. They’re both amazing in the kitchen, too. The few times they cooked, it felt like a real treat. Cam’s steak was hands-down the best I’ve ever had, and his prawn curry is something I still think about! Every meal they shared was made with such love—it made the house feel even more like home. They also impressed me with their creativity and professionalism. I was helping organize a fundraising event and auction for a local charity, and they jumped right in to help with design work and our social media campaign. Their ideas, talent, and enthusiasm made such a difference, and the event’s success was truly thanks in part to their contributions. Most of all, Cam and Amanda are just wonderful human beings—trustworthy, thoughtful, and full of heart. I always felt completely comfortable leaving my dogs in their care, and they were so gentle and loving with them. One of my pups, who’s usually quite territorial and not very cuddly, took such a shine to Amanda that I couldn’t help but laugh (and maybe get a tiny bit jealous!). I miss these two dearly. They brought so much light, laughter, and love into my home. I wish them the most incredible adventures for the rest of their stay in Canada—and wherever life leads them next. They’ll always have a home here whenever they return.

Thank you Nick and Mike. What you are doing there is truly incredible, you've got farm, cows, lots of birds and a lovely curious and gorgeous emu, haha, I'll always remember him, naughty boy that he is)) I had an unique experience with you and learned valuable lessons. May God help you in your mission guys! THANK YOU and Namaste 🙏

I spent two amazing weeks at Javier’s place. It’s a peaceful oasis on the Pacific coast, near Santa Catalina. Javier is a wonderful and cheerful person with whom you can talk about anything. I’m really grateful for everything I learned from him about Panama and the United States. He also has two very friendly dogs who were great company. One of the best things was being able to eat as many coconuts as I wanted every day😀 I also got to borrow a kayak and paddle to a nearby island, which I really enjoyed. Thank you so much, Javier, for letting me spend time at your beautiful place.
