Commentaires, feedbacks et évaluations Workaway - page 7

Hola! First of all I want to be grateful to Dee and her Mom Spomenka's hospitality and how they treated me with lot of love and kindness during all my stay (for about 3 weeks last summer)... Dee took care about our needs as volunteers and allowed us to make suggestions to develop some projects like the vegetable garden, orchard and soil improvement... Mostly I was in charge of tidying up and organising spaces, since the property was under renovation... Specially thanks for the support and all the arrangements that allowed to play music at a concert, for me one of the best moments in my life, unforgettable and even recorded! I hope we can meet again soon and would love to see all the improvements in your projects! Thank you so much for everything! Hvala Puno!

Our stay at the monastery was truly wonderful. We found a peaceful place to pause, breathe, and organise our work in a gentle rhythm. What meant the most was the strong sense of community, the genuine kindness, and the deep spiritual atmosphere that shaped each day. We leave grateful and enriched.

Izzy and Mico were great workawayers! We really enjoyed having them on our farm! They were always positive, even sometimes work was hard, enjoyed and respected the place and brought a good vibe to the team. We totally recommend them to any other hosts. Very easy going and respectful people who will be a sure a great addition to any other hosts project! Take care guys! Thanks for you good work!

Te deseamos bienestar y éxito en tus próximos proyectos y experiencias de voluntariado. Buen camino. Marce, Juli y helena

Rachel has an amazing sense of humour and was a pleasure to have around the house. Responsible and funny, hosting here was a breeze and I can absolutely recommend her to any other host. All the staff missed her right when she left :)

Realmente ha sido un intercambio excelente. Al principio creí que el idioma sería un problema, pero cuando hay buena predisposición, no hace falta mucho más para lograr una buena comunicación. Miranda y Cairn vinieron acompañados de dos amigos increíbles: Archie, de Inglaterra, y Quinty, de Holanda . Todos son personas con una gran educación, algo que valoramos muchísimo. Son altamente recomendables para cualquiera que desee abrirles las puertas a personas confiables. ¡Gracias por la ayuda durante estas dos semanas y que tengan un excelente regreso a casa!

Haden es una excelente persona, muy trabajador, colabora dando su máximo, es respetuoso y muy buen conversador, habla bastante español y le gustan los animales. Lo recomendamos al 100% Volveríamos a recibirlo felices.

Three months later and we are still dreaming of the paradise of Aotea- Great Barrier Island. Manu and Sofia made us feel at home and we really enjoyed helping them on their very special land. They are both so generous, full of knowledge, stories and are very inspiring couple to be around. They are really laid back and communicating is super clear and easy. The accommodation is absolutely stunning, with a beautiful round window to look at the forest and the kakas from. Warming the hot water with a stove is lovely and we enjoyed the outside bath under the stars. The A frame is a really cool space to hang out in and it's full of interesting books to read! We were spoiled with great food from the garden, some delicious kingfish sashimi and Manu's amazing sourdough. They are both superb cooks! Great barrier island is a really unique place full of fun activities and interesting people. We did a lot of spearfishing in the great beaches, and got to play in the waves with a surfboard a friend of theirs kindly lent us. New year's eve at the social club was great fun and we loved to get to know the locals a bit and hear their stories. Gyro the dog was a pleasure to hang out with and look after and we hope his paw is better. We'll never forget our time on this special island.

I just love them . Great altitude . Always happy and happy to work. Miss then

A truly wonderful couple. She cooks beautifully, and they are both so loving and kind. I adore their energy and their sense of humor. They have become part of my family. They are deeply missed, and my home will always be open to them

So its been about a year, since I stayed with Matilde and Janna in March of 25. Ive not gotten to write a review, but that doesnt mean i didnt have a great time with them. They were so welcoming from the start and stayed that way, even when I came back to visit later in the year. Youll meet not only them but travellers and many locals and get integrated into the lively Gent livestyle quickly. There is always something going on, it being small events or just the teamlunch we had most days. The workload depends on the day but is never to much, I would say its actually pretty chill. Apart from the main tasks, there will be other fun stuff too. We workawayers did for example design and paint some of the caravans! One of my first workaways and maybe also the best :)

We had an unforgettable stay at Wakatahuri. It was a unique experience from beginning to end. Fun boat rides to get there and back and very day was different and full of surprises. Natalie and Gavin made sure we made the most out of our time there. We kayaked, spearfished, dived for paua, hunted possums, culled and butchered goats, helped Gavin in the boat shed with woodwork, fixed bits and bobs, used some of the old incredible lister engines to do welding, helped in the kitchen, relocated some penguins, drove a tipper and digger to build a helipad, fed the chickens every day and enjoyed the company of all the animals. We loved playing with Polly the dog and taking her out in the row boat. Natalie kept us well fed with delicious home made food, bread, pickles, preserves, muesli, cakes and so much more. If you are looking for a remote off grid kiwi experience, this is a must visit place. You will learn so much and get to spend time in a historically rich and important place. Be prepared to be pushed out of your comfort zone and challenged. Open your ears to hear great stories and follow instructions, they have a lot to teach.

Hosting this wonderful family was such a joy. They were kind, respectful, and always ready to help with anything. They cared for my garden with love and connected so beautifully with my dogs. It was very special to share this experience with them, and I would happily host them again anytime.

n exceptional couple—always ready to work in the garden and care for the dogs with so much love. They were reliable, kind, and a true pleasure to host. I would gladly welcome them back anytime.”

“Their energy and charisma brought such a beautiful sense of connection and communication to our time together. I truly felt their departure and will miss them.”

It was a real pleasure to host Bianca and her friend Valerie. They helped out a lot with cleaning, walking my dogs, as well as gardening. And they were very pro-active with helping out, meaning I didn't have to ask them all the time. They also had a very compassionate heart towards my animals which was very sweet to witness. I definitely recommend them.

Shelli stayed with us for one week and was one of the best volunteers we’ve hosted. She was very helpful with preparing our agritourism place – cleaning, gardening, and organizing spaces. She was engaged, reliable, and independent. We also really enjoyed our conversations – thanks to her, we improved our English and created a very friendly atmosphere. We highly recommend her to any host!

Flora brought a dose of vibrance with her - she's a warm and empathetic woman and fun to be around. She was a big help with sorting out my garage, cleaning around the house , making cuttings and shifting/organising the nursery into winter mode. Flora is very motivated and keen to help - and she thinks carefully about what she is doing so as to be really effective. Always there to help with meal preparation and tidying after. No hesitation in recommending her to other potential hosts. Thanks Flora!

Our first Workaway experience with John and Fiona couldn’t have been better — we’re really grateful for the time we spent with them. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel welcome and comfortable. They were always up for a chat, and whenever we had questions, they were happy to help and share their advice. Fiona — you’re an amazing cook, just as many others have said! You also helped us a lot in making the most of our time, whether it was planning trips, recommending places to visit, or driving us there and back. John — We really enjoyed our Uno games, and we also loved listening to your stories. They were always interesting, and there was always something new to learn. Thanks again to both of you for your kindness and for making this a great first Workaway experience.

I had a amazing time in Arequipa in the hostel. It felt from the first day like a family to me and very welcomed Erick, Manu, Luis, Angelica, Rodrico and all the other employees are so lovely. For me it was the perfect breack from traveling and stay in one place for a while. My task where diverse but i enjoyed it. From working in the Garden or helping on the Bar in the Hostel - thank you so much for this amazing experience!
