Luna stayed with us for two weeks in the autumn and it was a joy to have her stay with us. She is a wonderful girl who works hard and is very conscientious. She had no real experience with animals and gardening, but she is a quick learner who really enjoyed the experience. She is very good at keeping the place looking tidy and she always cleans up

Luna is very friendly and genuinely interested in other people. She loved and appreciated being able to see our beautiful island. She is also a very good partner when playing boardgames. ;-)
We would definitely recommend Luna as a workaway.

I stayed with Rikke and Thomas for two weeks in October and I really enjoyed my working holidays on Bornholm. They are both nice and hardworking people with a great sense of hospitality. I met Hailey, an American girl who was also doing a workaway there. Rikke and Thomas cooked us great meals for dinner, like pizza or traditional Danish food, and

The work mainly consisted of feeding the animals and helping Rikke in her kitchen garden. In general, the work was not too exhausting and no previous experience was required. Usually, we worked in the morning and had our afternoons off. In our free time, we had lovely walks on the coast or the forest with their dog Gaia and could explore cute towns nearby like Svaneke. I can really recommend them as hosts if you are an animal lover and enjoy working outdoors!

Jette stayed with us for three weeks, and she instantly became part of our family. Jette is very friendly and respectful, and she was great around the house. She loves to bake, so we now have a freezer full of baked goodies. She was very diligent and careful with everything she did. She took great cake of our animals and became very good friends

Jette was a great help no matter what task we gave her, whether is was tidying, cleaning, weeding, planting or looking after the animals. She often went above and beyond. She was also very good at picking up after herself and left our place looking nice and tidy.
Jette comes with our highest recommendations. We wish she could have stayed longer.

I stayed with Rikke & Thomas for 3 weeks and it was a pleasure to meet them. They are very friendly, openminded and will take good care of you! :-) They always made sure that I've got everything I needed.

In the evening we had shared meals together. Rikke and Thomas where always happy about my help with just little tasks in the house or with helping making the dinner.
I also had a lot of freetime to visit beautiful places on Bornholm. I knew the island quite well but Rikke and Thomas gave me a lot of new recommendations for the future. Rikke also took me on some nice walks with her cute little dog Gaia. Gaia is a very friendly dog and she could play with her ball & you all day long, if she could - a cute never ending story!
I think it's especially a great place for couples or friends to visit & work together while exploring the island. The farm is beautiful and I enjoyed it to help with taking care of the animals, gardening or cleaning in Rikkes Antique Shop. I also did a lot of baking and enjoyed that really much.
Thank you, Rikke and Thomas - also for practicing danish with me! :-)

My friends and I stayed with Rikke and Thomas for a week. They let us help them with what we were interested in. We fed the animals, did some gardening, harvested strawberries and garlic. We also cleaned their car, cleaned their antique shop, pulled weeds, cut down trees and so on.

I was glad that Rikke, Thomas and Rikke's dad were interested in Japan. They enjoyed the sushi my friends and I made. We also made origami together.
Staying with them was a wonderful experience. Thank you so much for the 7 days!Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

I stayed at Rikke and Thomas' house for seven days. It was their first time hosting an Asian guest, and I was delighted by their interest. Although we ate breakfast and lunch separately, Rikke always paid attention to whether I wanted or needed anything both at the supermarket and at home. For dinner, they prepared traditional Danish dishes and

In particular, the rhubarb cake Rikke made was addictive. Additionally, I had the opportunity to experience farm life, including harvesting garlic and strawberries and taking care of animals, which made me realize the importance of food once again. Rikke's garden is vast and beautiful. Thank you for the wonderful experience.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

Mélisa and Pauline came to stay with us, and it was their first workaway experience. They were a bit nervous to begin with, but they very quickly found their way round the place and soon became part of our family.
Both girls are very easy to be around, and they worked very diligently at their tasks. They always went above and beyond. It was

In the house they were very tidy and helpful, always picking up after themselves. In the evenings we played boardgames and had a lot of fun.
After a rather unpleasant stay at another workaway place, they came back to stay with us, and we wish they could have stayed longer.
Whoever welcomes Mélisa and Pauline into their home, will surely be happy they did so. We enjoyed having them here and hope they will come back some day.

We have been staying 1 month and 3 weeks at Thomas and Rikke's house, though the 3 more weeks were not planned but that tells you how much we liked being there.
It was our first workaway experience, which means we had no idea what to expect and were feeling under qualified. But Rikke always made us do simple but rewarding activities and was

There you'll do what needs to be done depending on the season / need. We painted walls (lots), rearranged flower beds, weeding, harvested. On the afternoon we fed the animals (and we loved doing that).
As Rikke goes every morning (or most) walking with Gaya you were always welcome to accompany them, and it's an opportunity to see Bornholm's trails/walking path. Gaya is such a kind and lovely dog she is always happy to go for a walk with anybody
Though we have cooked for them sometimes, it was Rikke who did most of the cooking. She's a genius cook. Be prepared, you'll have to enjoy cakes. (we did) We also want to point out that, us being vegetarians and them eating meat was a challenge but it came good at the end. We want to thank her for being always so careful with the dishes she proposed us. Thanks Rikke <3 !
Thomas and Rikke are kind, observant and reliable. It was an honor for us to be hosted by them.
They will gladly make you play their favorite board game (which is dead easy!) but be aware, the winner will brag to the others for their win for a few days :)))

Olivia and Freddy come with our highest recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed having them stay here, and the three weeks they spent at our place whizzed by.

Olivia likes to plan ahead, which means they were very well prepared before coming, and they knew what to expect. Communication with Olivia and Freddy is very easy, and they were quick to reply to emails.
We genuinely hope to see them again in the future.
For our first Workaway we were very fortunate to have found Rikke and Thomas.
We were warmly welcomed straight away and made to feel at ease. We enjoyed our time being with them and working on the farm, it was better than we could have expected.
Some of the jobs we did included painting, cleaning/ tidying areas, gardening and feeding the

Rikke and Thomas’ home was lovely and they made sure we were comfortable which was really appreciated. They spoke great English and were able to communicate with us so clearly. We also learnt some Danish from them which we enjoyed. There was a very chill atmosphere and we had a lot of fun playing board games with them!
We stayed 3 weeks and there was plenty to do on the farm but also on Bornholm, we never ran out of ideas. Thomas and Rikke were so helpful in advising us what to see on the island and Copenhagen (where we went after). The island has beautiful walks and lovely beaches. We also had great fun at mini golf!
We really enjoyed our experience and will come back! We will miss Rikke, Thomas and their crazy, beautiful dog Gaia. They made us feel a part of their family. We cannot express our gratitude enough to them and we are so thankful to have met them.
We hope to see you in the future Rikke and Thomas!

Varvara stayed with us for nearly six weeks in October and November. Instantly she became a member of our family. She was very easy to get along with, and she was great around the house, always picking up after herself.

From the moment I returned home, I've been pondering how I could even summarize this incredible experience that I had with Rikke and Thomas. I stayed on Bornholm for more than 6 weeks from the end of October till the end of November 2021.
Since the very first day there I felt so comfortable and at home, greatly thanks to the welcoming atmosphere
… read more that Rikke and Thomas have created. We have spent a lot of quality time together in the evenings, playing boardgames (Rikke even taught me how to play Back Gamon and we had been going at it very competitively almost every night 😃), or just sitting by the fireplace with their two cuddly dogs, who kept me such great company as well.
What was absolutely amazing, was the fact, that every day was completely different. I came to Bornholm during the time when autumn slowly changes into wintertime, so Rikke and I spent a lot of time in their beautiful garden, cleaning, weeding and preparing the greenhouse and the rest of the garden for winter. Some days Rikke and I also cleaned the second floor of their Antique shop, which they have been renovating and now looks amazing!!
But my main task for the workday was feeding the sheep, goats, pigs and chickens. None of the help asked of us too challenging, the animals are usually very calm and of course they will love you if you give them food 😃
In my free time I usually went on walks or bike rides (on a bike that Rikke and Thomas generously let me borrow), in the absolutely stunning Danish countryside. On the weekends I visited a lot of the parts of Bornholm, its nature is so so beautiful, with rocky and sandy beaches, all reachable with a short bus ride.
My stay here was so pleasurable and filled with happy memories, that I couldn't have experience anywhere else. I truly feel that I was welcomed into a close family, with who I'm going to remain great friends. I'm already planning on coming here again soon, because this is a kind of place and experience that happens only once in a lifetime.
Thank you, Rikke and Thomas, for everything,
give Cesar and Sally a back rub from me.

They are very friendly. I worked most of the time with Rikke in her beautiful garden, she is a very strong woman and crazy about plants! she has many beautiful flowers and plants, with her I learned much more about sowing and she helped me a lot to improve my English. Tak Rikke!
My favorite part was being with the animals, they have two very friendly dogs and many cows, many goats, chickens and cats that I miss a lot. It was really therapeutic being with them.

We have such a wonderful week at Rikke and Thomas place. It's a beautiful country house with lovely animals.

They were very considered with us, Rikke took us to the supermarket so we could choose whatever we liked and we were free at breakfast and lunch to cook whatever we wanted and we shared meals at night.
It was hard work some days but achievable, and we managed to learn a lot about farming life style.
In our free time we could do whatever we wanted, they offered they car to us so we could go around and get to know the whole island, there are also some bikes disponible.
Now one of the goats have my name and I love that haha I hope you'll take extra care of her!
We really enjoyed our stay so much and we'll miss you two and your lovely animals and life style.
