Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 13

Milo integrated into our farm flawlessly and was hands-on from the moment he arrived. He completed a variety of tasks from our farm's to-do list, as well as intuitively assisting with tasks without being asked. All round, his work ethic and discipline to finish a task stood out. The month he stayed with us felt too short. 10/10 experience having him here and 20/10 for his coffee! Thank you for your outstanding work and we hope to meet again.

Excellent experience in every way - Alex is good company and responsible as well . He took special care with everything here in our home. He's a very friendly guy & interesting to know & chat with . We can recommend him 100 % without concern & we would welcome him back .

My time here was full of magic, nature, beauty, community and quality life. It is a wonderful place to connect to the earth and oneself. I've arrived with the intention to stay 2 weeks and ended up staying 2.5 months!. I loved it. !! Few times I was set to continue my travels but couldn't leave this magical place. The family and community that live and take care of this unique place became my family for that time and I felt welcomed and loved. We share very special moments during my stay. The nature around and the flow of the days allowed me to connect deeper to myself and to Pachamama, our Mother Earth. I really appreciate Diego's drive and commitment to keep the vision of a better world and a better life that this place nourish and sustain. Majo was like a dear sister for me in these 2 months and I felt at home from the moment I arrived. The place offer a unique experience, emerged in nature with all the comfort the one needs. Hot water on demand, amazing wifi, great food and freedom that feels so special in this crazy fast moving world. I left with a lot of love in my heart to the people and the place, I would definitely come back. GRACIAS!!

Lovely family, amazing energy, beautiful place. ♡

Natália and Arlindo are an incredibly kind and understanding couple who welcomed me into their home with great food and great discussion. As my first ever workaway, and first trip outside of the country, the slow pace of life with Natália and Arlindo made the adjustment much easier than I thought. The work in the house and the garden was not hard, but calming and rewarding. Also Mel, their cute little ginger dog , and their old kitty are both very sweet. Arlindo and Natália often took me to the beach and into town to show me around. There were trips to the river with Mel, trips to pastelarias, and a trip to the Portimao art and history museum. Discussions at lunch were about art, language, culture, and history. My stay went by very fast and I was sad to leave. I could not have asked for better hosts. Obrigada por tudo! Com um abraço, muita amiga Rita.

Luke really brought England to our home! We learned a lot about northern England while he was here. Very fascinating - and as he has a great sense of humor it was also very fun to have him around! Although Luke is young he has workd in construction a lot and is very experienced when it comes to all kind of work tasks. So he could help us a lot doing garden work and carpenting! He built a new cellar door (reusing an antique door) and helped constructing a wooden ceiling for our cellar. Luke has also done some amazing traveling and has great stories to share. He right away formed a wonderful team with the other helpers, always in a good mood, always ready to do what ever needed to be done. He also always picked the right songs for us to listen to! So please make sure you invite Luke to your home! You will have a blast!

Meg stayed with us during two weeks in october and really turned them into something very memorable and special! From the very first moment we met her it was a great pleasure to have her company in the house and during the workinghours. Meg is full of never ending positive energy. Very useful when it came to the quite physical work that had to be done in the garden. Digging up potatoes, trimming bushes, carrying and stacking fire wood, helping with the big fires we did in the garden. She also helped preparing some italian dishes among them a Tiramisu that was amazing! And inbetween she would put together fine playlists. Meg language skills are outstanding and she has already done a lot of exciting travels. We had lots of fun playing card games and Hitster in the evenings. Meg got along very well with the other three helpers that stayed with us and together with them took the chance to go for a long hike in the nearby area. While Meg was here she added everything that defines an excellent workaway experience! So inviting her is the best you can do!

Simon stayed at my place for 5 month and he took care of my house, garden and pets for 4 month while i was in europe. He was very responsible and caring, he always kept me informed what was happening. It was a pleasure to have him around, we had great conversations,, but also could be comfortable in silence.He helped me with organizing my garden and kept everything in orden while i was away. Iam very thankful for this experience 🙏🌸

We stayed with Debs and Keith for two weeks alongside 4 other WorkAwayers. We absolutely loved the hospitality and stories these two shared with us! They also have 8 cute/cuddly dogs that are so fun to hang out with, and we had access to a car which was really fun to explore the island with. We usually spent mornings working on painting or landscaping their property and then the afternoons would be at the beach. They also served us some delicious meals (both amazing cooks) and made us feel super at home. Highly suggest staying here for anyone looking for pristine beaches and great company!

Thank you to Lilly and Ivan for hosting me for just over a week in October, they were both very accommodating. I got to meet and stay with two other workawayers and Lilly and Ivan would make us nice meals after we had spent a few hours working. They live in a beautiful area in the countryside, we were based in their volunteer house which a few kilometers from their house. It is quite a remote spot so you do need a car to get around but it was also very peaceful. Thank you again for hosting me and all the best for the future!

Jelena has a good heart. She's honest and sincere. She's kind to animals and loves gardening. She also enjoys cleaning and tidying up. She's very independent, which we appreciate, and is important; she's someone who can manage well in life. Because of her independence, communication has sometimes been a challenge. She enjoys church and has good connections there. She also has good connections with a Christian volunteer organization. We wish her all the best and hope she leads a wonderful life and meets many like-minded people. Dear Jelena, thank you for your help and especially for who you are. All the best. Warm regards

Katharina was with us for about five weeks. We clicked perfectly from day one. She's incredibly kind, sociable, helpful, and nothing was too much for her. She has a real hands-on mentality. We highly recommend her. Dear Katharina, thank you for your help, your presence, and your cheerfulness. We hope to see you again. Thank you.

I had an amazing time here! I wasn't sure what to expect, with it being my first workaway, but my time here has certainly set the bar very high! The accommodation was comfortable with a strong Internet connection and other amenities such as musical instruments, campfire and trampoline. The family is very friendly and easy to get along with. Catherine is a kind, helpful, and considerate woman. She often helped me out with the meals for the family I cooked once a week. The work itself was fun and enjoyable. I really feel like I learned a lot about construction and DIY. Wouter is a very good and patient teacher. Overall, this was an amazing experience and I'd strongly recommend it to anyone!

I had a fantastic time staying with Jayn & Thomas — they are very welcoming, communicative, outgoing and active. I felt included in their family and community right away. The tasks were diverse and doable, and always balanced with after-work activities and outings. I enjoyed the "Lorax" potlucks, visiting the Saturday's farmers market and the daily "Kaffee&Kuchen" breaks, to mention only a few of the memories to keep. When you have the chance to do a workaway with them, do it!

Juliette es una persona con una energía muy chevere y contagiosa. Desde el primer momento que llegó, compartió su buena vibra con todos y se mostró siempre predispuesta a participar en cada actividad. Tiene una curiosidad genuina y un entusiasmo que se sienten en todo lo que hace. Durante su estancia construimos juntos una mesa desde cero, cocinamos comidas deliciosas —incluidas algunas de las mejores paltas que he probado en la selva— y trabajamos en el jardín. También compartimos momentos muy especiales, como nuestra visita al Parque Nacional Río Abiseo y algunas experiencias más espirituales que fueron realmente significativas. Juliette es una chica con una visión clara y equilibrada de la vida, con quien se puede tener conversaciones profundas e inspiradoras. Además, tiene una gran disposición para aprender cosas nuevas y disfrutar del proceso. En resumen, recomiendo totalmente a Juliette. Es una excelente compañera, alegre, curiosa y comprometida, que aporta siempre buena energía al lugar y a las personas que la rodean.

I spent two weeks at the foundation and these two weeks were extraordinary! Carl and the Dr are very welcoming and you will immediately feel at home. The dogs are adorable and work is very easy to hold back. I learned a lot about the life of street dogs but also how to best take care of them. Starting from this first mission was not easy. I met other wonderful volunteers with whom I shared very good moments. 😉 If I had to identify something, it is the activities around the foundation that are not numerous but if you like peace then go for it!

Thank you Captain, Kaka, Jai and Chikako for being so welcoming! My stay felt heartwarming. It was a magical stay in a beautiful place with incredible people:) 3 weeks may seem long but the time flew by so fast! Thanks for sharing about: organic farming, coocking, interesting story, the 7 rock game, … I recommend this farm 100%! You wont regret! A perfect place to reconnect with nature. I will cherish this expierience! I wish you all the best! ❤️🌺

Daniel turned up at the agreed time. He is a very pleasant young man, he took onboard all of the different jobs that he was asked to do with enthusiasm and good effort. It was obvious to us that a lot of the tasks we asked him to do were quite out of his range of experience but he took them on board and performed them to a good standard with a smile on his face. He was a good conversationalist and was pleasant to be around. He is always welcome to come back again.

We had the pleasure of Madlaina as a workaway in September/October 2025. Madlaina is very hardworking and smiling. She easily fits into our daily routine. Her good mood infected both teachers and students. She was a good role model for the students with her proper and easy approach to things. Thank you very much for your time with us!

We had the pleasure of Ibuki as a workaway in September/October 2025. Ibuki is a very welcoming person. She speaks fluent English and had a very easy time integrating into our culture. She is good at seeing where an extra hand is needed and contributes naturally. She is very smiling and listening, she interacted very well with our students. We thank you very much for your time with us!
