Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

What a special workaway! This has been the highlight so far of our year long trip in Canada. Haida Gwaii is such a special place to be, and we got to spend 2 months working at the glamping site which itself is beautiful. The work is straightforward, varying between housekeeping, breakfast set-ups, and check-ins - with a little bit of hot-tub maintenance thrown in. We usually worked between 35-40 hours a week during the peak of the season, which was exactly as explained to us and still left plenty of time to do our own thing after work and on our days off. We had use of a staff car so could explore lots of Haida Gwaii during our time off. Alana and Nicole were both kind and welcoming, whilst day to day managing of the site was done by Amy, who was amazing to work with and always made sure we were comfortable and happy with our work. Steve and Bettina, the local staff, were also lovely and a joy to work with! The trailer we stayed in was a great size and had everything we needed, with additional bathroom and shower facilities also located in a building 20m away. We also had use of the glamping facilities when not in use by guests, which was a great perk (the pizza oven especially)! Tlell is fairly remote, so this workaway is suited for people who are happy keeping themselves busy, enjoying beach walks and spectacular nature and wildlife. We absolutely loved our time here and it went by way too fast - we couldn't recommend it enough and may very well be back in the future! P.S. - We highly recommend taking the inside passage ferry on route to Haida Gwaii, an incredible experience we never imagined getting - seeing countless whales and other sea life, as well as stunning coastal mountains and forest!

Summer is such a wonderful person and a great volunteer — easy-going, kind, and always ready to help wherever and whenever it was needed. We really enjoyed her support and her company. She helped us in the kitchen, the garden, and with housekeeping, always bringing a positive spirit. During the day she was hardworking, and in the evenings she was great fun to be around — whether playing a board game or sharing a cozy chat by the fire.

We’re stayed one week here and happy to meet everyone the staff is so nice even we don’t know how to speak Spanish. We helped a farm and the kitchen, and also some painting job in the cabin. In this ranch, you have to decide what you want to do, and there are no clear instructions, but It's also become very flexible, it’s suitable for people with their ideas to help. when we first get there, the situation of the volunteer house is very bad, there are dirty and mo, even without electricity, but fortunately there is water. Despite this, we cleaned it up with other volunteers and tried to make it better. We opened all the window to let the sunlight in. Anyway, I really enjoy being with all the people here, especially HAN, who shared a lot of knowledge about horses with us. Thank you all for being here!

Min wha is good cook, she cook korean food and its delicious also she helped us a lot preparing the figs, she is tidy and hardworker and experienced alot for farming works.. vlad helped us for stone wall first days were hard for him he has a pain but later he used to the work with stones and his energy has changed . We are happy to meet them. Hope we can visit you for your farm

We spent two and a half weeks with Nadine and Adam. They are truly a wonderful couple. We had a wonderful time together and fell in love with each other. They did all the work on the farm with love and success. Thank you so much for these wonderful times. I hope they come back, I miss them already.

I’m sitting at the airport with my heart full after leaving Anna, Filipo, Yara, and Big Luna (3 yo 😂). My time in Corfu has been truly unforgettable. The house is incredibly comfortable and just 200 meters from a beautiful beach, where I fell in love with every sunset. The girls are full of joy, energy and are extremely cute!! 😍 Ana is sweet, warm, and attentive to every detail, and Filipo’s Italian warmth and multilingual skills make you feel instantly at home. Together, they create a family environment that is welcoming and full of love. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to any volunteer. Corfu is amazing, and Arillas is peaceful and beautiful. Transportation is limited, but renting a scooter is cheap and lets you explore the island freely. Remember: a European or an international driver’s license is essential. I leave with a heart full of gratitude, love, and memories that will stay with me forever. Love you family!!

It was great hosting Daniel/Dani and collaborating with him on a workaway experience. He has been very respectful of the rules, and very patient.I wish I gave him more time to get to know him, considering that he is a very mature person. Thanks so much Dani and wish you all the best. You are always welcome!

Marc queríamos darte las gracias por todo el valor que nos has aportado durante tu estancia en nuestra villa...durante tu estancia hemos compartido trabajo, cenas, comidas, buenos ratos...hasta hemos disfrutado de tus habilidades con la música y con la comida...destacar que para tener 26 años has demostrado tener una sabiduría de vida que nos impactó...siempre con una actitud de escucha y de aprendizaje en todo lo compartido. Siempre con una actitud de ayuda y de colaboración... Nos ha encantado compartir nuestras historias de vida acercándonos de alguna manera más a nuestras regiones y como no abriendo nuevas amistades por alrededor del mundo. Creo que hemos tenido mucha suerte al ser nuestra primera vez tú como workawayer y nosotros como anfitriones, ya sabes que las puertas de nuestra villa siempre estaran abiertas para tí... Sin duda alguna, eres una persona vitamina... Saludos Mar Siscu y Elsa..Hasta pronto...

La nostra esperienza con Jamie è stata senz' altro positiva . Nonostante il suo breve soggiorno qui da noi , ha dimostrato di seguire le indicazioni per svolgere il lavoro in modo attento e preciso. Ciò nonostante non avesse sicure competenze al riguardo. Abbiamo potuto comunicare agevolmente per la sua conoscenza della lingua che ci hpermesso di scambiare opinioni su vari argomenti.

Where do I even start?! This workaway experience truly changed my life in so many aspects. The family is absolutely incredible and welcomed me with open arms. Antonella was very kind to me and I felt like she was always there for me if I needed anything which was amazing! Same with Claudio, he was very funny. And the two kids are adorable and very energetic. Raffaelle is a very creative, high energy and funny kid that made my days fun. We had some challenging times but with boundaries and time, it got better. Whether it was drawing, playing at the park, or doing gymnastics together, I loved every moment of it. The room was great and the location of Massa Lubrense is perfect for exploring the rest of Italy as I did so on my weekends off such as Naples, Capri, Positano. The extended family was wonderful and we had lunch at the nonnas house everyday which was delicious. I was there for about a month and miss it every day, the people, the food, the location! Wonderful experience!! Thank you so much for having me :)) Say hi to Rafaelle for me

My stay on Lise and Johns Farm was very pleasant. I spent two weeks there in August and it was wonderful. The first week I stayed there together with another workawyer and the second week I was there alone. My task where nice and mostly easy to manage. We had alot of freetime we could spent at their beautiful land, or visiting the next small town, Copenhagen or the beach. I grew very fond of their animals, especially their cats (they had 5 baby cats while I was there) and their ponies and it was a pleasure to care for them:) I hope I can visit them again and I can highly recommend this nice place to anyone who likes animlas and wants to travel to Denmark.🌸☺️

I had a wonderfully relaxing stay with Anna on the beautiful island of Skopelos. The house is located in a remote part of the island and provides a very quiet environment in which to relax and collect your thoughts while surrounded by olive trees. There are lots of wonderful cats roaming the property and I enjoyed feeding them and getting to know their unique personalities. The little kittens were particularly cute. I did various small gardening tasks around the property but nothing that required too much energy. It was all very pleasant. Trimming trees and plants, collecting nuts, and reorganizing the garden were just a few of the small tasks that I completed. When not working, I had plenty of time to myself. Anna was generous in taking me to a different beach, natural wonder, or tourist site nearly every single day. She has a very detailed knowledge of the island and was able to show me places I never would have found on my own. She also provided beverages and snacks on each of these outings which was much appreciated. We cooked several meals for one another and watched movies in the evenings. She also considered my needs and preferences when going shopping for groceries. Overall, if you are looking for a peaceful experience in a remote part of a Greek island, this is the place for you. Thank you Anna!

We had a wonderful time with Türkan and Veysi! They are kind and welcoming hosts, and we always enjoyed the delicious food and warm conversations, also with the other Workawayers. The house is beautiful, and we loved sleeping in the cozy yurt. We learned a lot while helping with the fig harvest, preserving and drying figs, and building a stone wall. We also enjoyed a lovely day trip to a nearby town, visiting a local market and trying delicious goat ice cream. The place is amazing, surrounded by olive trees and nature. We’re really looking forward to meeting you again in Georgia!

Neil is talented with many skills and experience. When he doesn't know something, he researches it and does it. He does everything with good energy and quality. Tracy is dedicated and also work with joy. They left the house clean and tidy. I highly recommended them!!!

My experience on the farm was UNIQUE! Janne and Maxime are two wonderful people: always very courteous and friendly. Their farm is beautiful and the atmosphere is absolutely calm and amazing. There are certainly plenty of moments of party and fun (especially if, like me, you stay with other workawayers). Working for Janne and Maxime means not only have the possibility to work outdoors in the company of friendly animals, but also working in a happy environment where absolute respect for others reigns. So thank you so much Janne and Maxime, you allowed me to live an extraordinary experience that I will carry in my heart forever!!! On a more "practical" level, let's just say that the tasks are very varied and vary primarily depending on the time of year you work on the farm but some things must be done every day (for example feeding the animales or doing the laundry).

What a nice girl to work with. Always cheerful and driven. We enjoyed our English evening with pub quiz. Always welcome back Anna!!!

In the almost three months I've spent with Andres, I've met a thoughtful, respectful, and always cheerful person. His love of cooking has provided us and our friends with some very tasty meals. He's also a talented amateur masseur. We had very interesting discussions on a variety of topics. I've seen him as an excellent helper in all the various tasks entrusted to him. He's one of those people you're always happy to see again!

My stay at the farm was amazing. I was not expecting this but I found a place where I felt safe and i will forever miss the persons that made me feel this way. The work at the farm changes everyday so you can learn lot of things, and the house you leave in has incredible vibes. Thanks for everything

Ilan est resté environ 10 jours à la maison, ce fut une nouvelle expérience pour lui. Il a fait preuve de bonne volonté et à toujours essayer de comprendre au mieux nos attentes. Ilan est quelqu'un de très poli, courageux et avec une envie de découvrir. Pour venir à la maison, Ilan a réellement dû sortir de sa zone de confort et j'espère qu'il continuera de le faire.

Matias is a really kind, genuine and generous guy and you can have great conversations with him! He also cooks absolutely amazing vegan meals for lunch! It is an amazing place to disconnect from city life and reconnect with nature. There are beautiful walks along the hills and by the river, lots of delicious fresh veg growing in the garden and some guitars lying around to play in the sun! I was there in September and the weather was still great with sun everyday. I had a cosy cabin to myself with a stove in it. During my stay I was the only volunteer so it was quieter than usual and I spent a lot of time doing my own thing such as finding new hikes, reading and playing music but I also got to spend quality time with Matias, Chalice, Mew and Lou who are all lovely :) The work was really enjoyable and varied. We were cutting up dead trees for firewood, restoring old stoves, and building a wall for the new house. Thank you so much for everything guys!! :)
