Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

What can I say, Corinne and Wayne are two such wonderful beings! They are both so welcoming, kind, giving, easygoing and fun to be around. Plus, I could always hang out at their place. Cor showed me a lot about plants and especially mushrooms, at this time of year. She also tought me how to ride a horse (again), and I absolutely enjoyed it! Btw, she is also a great cook ;) I worked under a lot of people in the past and it wasn't always the best experience, therefore I can say that working with Wayne was a real pleasure! I really enjoyed his sense of humor (he is always make fun, especially around Cor) and he makes the best pizza! They have a great cabin, even though it's not finished yet, but I hope it will be ready for the next volunteers ;) It's a great piece of land they have here, and the whole island is great, so don't miss out on this experience if you're in British Columbia (or even if you're not)! Oh and be prepared to play Cambio in the evenings ;) Thank you so much for having me!! I'll definitely pass by if I'm in BC again, much love!

my time spent with Louie and Ting was good - they are both open and interesting people, the food was great and I had a private room with a big bed. The work was interesting and I was able to gain new skills

I stayed at Jessie’s home for four wonderful weeks. Her house was far more spacious and beautiful than any photo could ever capture. I never imagined I’d get to live in such an amazing place. My room was wide, cozy, and surprisingly warm even in the middle of winter. The house was so comfortable that I often wore short sleeves indoors. Jessie cooked delicious meals every day at fixed times for lunch and dinner. Her food was always amazing, and she even made snacks herself — such care and thoughtfulness truly touched me. I’ve never met a host who took such good care of volunteers. Every day there was calm and peaceful. A beautiful lake was just nearby, and walking along the railway or sitting by the water felt like being in paradise. Each morning, I would sit on the deck with a cup of warm tea, watching the beautiful scenery and feeling my heart fill with quiet peace. Sometimes I went out for a bike ride to explore the surroundings the uphill roads were a bit tough, but the downhills felt like riding a roller coaster! And the views along the way were absolutely breathtaking. Those moments were simply perfect, pure happiness itself. The four weeks I spent there felt like a little piece of heaven. Every Tuesday, I went to Nelson for swimming or hiking. Nelson is such a beautiful and peaceful town. I truly enjoyed every visit. During my stay, I helped with farm work, made housecoats with a sewing machine, and assisted with household chores. On Halloween, I carved pumpkins and handed out treats to the kids —
it was such a fun and unforgettable experience. More than anything, I learned so much from my conversations with Jessie about Canadian culture, and about life itself. Her warm heart and genuine kindness left a deep impression on me. Staying here was one of the greatest blessings of my journey. Jessie showed me the true meaning of giving with love and sincerity. Because of her care, every day was filled with gratitude. These four weeks will stay in my heart for a long, long time.

The bungalows and surroundings are just amazing and very peaceful. Sezer is such a lovely person and I really felt at home here! The work can be physically demanding at times as mentioned but I really loved picking the mandarins and cleaning the bungalows. Anyway if you are even remotely in good shape the tasks will be easy to complete. I also learned some skills with gardening which was great! The experience here was so much fun and I am so grateful that I discovered this place. I definitely hope I will be able to go back. I highly recommend doing a workaway here. There is also a minibus operating just 5 min walk away (dolmuş) which makes getting to Alanya super easy!

Ariel and Claudia and Trece (the cat) are fantastic hosts, we felt right at home from the start. Their home and the surrounding area are beautiful, they are great cooks and just very comfortable to be around. The work was exactly as described and easy to learn as well!

Megan and Tom are a wonderful and enthusiastic couple. From the first day they arrived, there was always a light in their eyes that reflected a lot of love, and they were always very empathetic and helpful in many ways here on the ranch. Not only are they an excellent work team, they integrated into our family in a very harmonious way. Megan always had a word of encouragement and always with a positive attitude, she was a great friend from day one. She is a hardworking, reliable, kind person with many beautiful qualities. She is a being who emanates love and peace in everything she does. My favorite phrase that I heard every day from Megan was: Whatever makes you happy Mamacita! Tom is super creative, hardworking, very skilled at problem-solving, an excellent builder, and designer. He puts his heart into everything he does. His greatest motivation is seeing others happy. A wonderful older brother. Using natural materials from the ranch, like wood, for example, that they discovered, cleaned, and turned into true works of art, Megan and Tom designed and built a space that we now call the fire hall, the area where we cook with fire, roast coffee and cocoa, and do workshops on the medicine of the fire element of our ancestral culture. With Megan and Tom, we had unforgettable moments, discovering waterfalls in the mountains, at school festivals with the kids, the temazcal workshop... every day with them was a great adventure. Having them in your house, I assure you, will be a great blessing in your life, as it is for us. The doors of our home will always be open to them, they are always welcome to return! I don't have enough words of gratitude. Infinite thanks Megan and Tom.

Robyn and Julian were 2 of the best volunteers we've ever had here on our farm! <3 They are both super friendly, communicative and always keen to help. They did a great job helping us build a cob house, installing the roof, plastering the wall, weeding the garden, cleaning up the workshop on a rainy day, making yogurt in the kitchen... Any task we needed help with were handled perfectly. The house was also kept very clean and organized. I can't recommend these two enough :)

Volunteering two weeks with Deepak and Koshila at the tea farm was an unforgettable experience! 🌱🫖 I learned so much about tea, from picking, rolling, roasting, and tasting. Every step was hands on and fascinating. Also the food, even though simple was good, especially the noodles and delicious momos 🥟 The days were filled with warmth, kindness and even some friendly competition especially the Yams games, where I almost won 😜🎲. And thanks to them, my eyes were opened to iskus (chayote) for the first time! 🥳✨ Overall, a wonderful experience that I’ll always remember and when my own Iskus someday grows I'll send you some pictures. Thank you ❤️🌄

J'ai passé 10 jours chez Vanille et ce qui a été une expérience formidable. Le logement est plutôt rustique, mais si on recherche une expérience au milieu de nulle part, c'est exactement ce qu'il faut. On est seul avec la nature, sans wifi, et on a donc beaucoup de temps pour soi. Ce que j'ai particulièrement apprécié chez Vanille, c'est qu'elle apprécie le travail (généralement seulement 4 heures par jour) et vous en remercie sincèrement. De plus, elle cuisine très bien. Je recommande donc vivement cet endroit aux personnes qui recherchent une pause dans la nature.

I arrived thinking that Workaway was going to be about family, in the different projects listed in the profile and I was surprised to discover that Salim, Amina's husband, had started a kindergarten for the neighborhood children. A precious legacy and a very difficult undertaking. "Todo a pulmón" decimos en Argentina.. means only in such a large project, Without any institutional help, working hard and sometimes using only his own money. The children, the teachers, the school building all need so much help...The ideal place to give yourself... These days I received so much...that it's very little that I gave. The family is wonderful... the experience of living with them, day to day, is fantastic... sharing with their children fills your soul with love. I felt at home.The day before I left, Salim told me: This is your home...we'll always be waiting for you. Thanks thanks thanks....Asante asana my family in Tanzania A unique, unforgettable experience...without a doubt, Amina and Salim's house, their school in Arusha is the place to do Workaway.

Having Daniel stay and work with us was very helpful, he is a team player, he has all the needed talents to help in our daily operations of our property. Very tranquil and full of positive energy, we were very happy to have him stay with us in Monteverde. We have made a new friend, he is very kind and respectful, always happy to help with any project, we hope to have him return and stay with us again in the near future !!! You will not be disappointed to include him with your projects !!! Sign him up !!!

I had a very nice experience! I have spent one week time, I haven't met though and Sopheak as he was away for work. All the teachers, their manager were all very nice! They were friendly, patience and they support me in my free time introducing me to the local town, its food market and sharing time together. They also introduce me to Luis (a collaborator of them), a western super nice and welcoming guy that liked to share with me time and bringing me around the city. Some practical info you might want to know: - the room offered is inside the school with a single bed. The room is simple and the water in the toilet is not consistent, so you need to learn some tricks on how to shower and flush. - The village is quite small but it still nice to move around. you can either walk or better use a scooter. food market are allover the town. - It is a very authentic experience as there you would virtually not find any other backpackers visiting there Afterall everyone was very nice and it will be one of my most memorable experience of my life!

Our experience with Victor was great! He is a very helpful, loving, and honest person. Victor is willing to contribute and give an extra mille, which is much appreciated in a community lifestyle. You would probably like to have him on your team! Much love, The Community

Mathilde is a truly special girl: intelligent, empathetic, attentive to the needs of others, helpful and willing. Meeting her through Workaway was a real surprise. With her, I was able to spend wonderful days together with my animals: she has a truly innate talent for handling and communicating with horses, and she helped me a lot in improving their management and organization. I really hope she can come back — my animals and I would be truly very happy.

Lisa came to us for a couple of weeks over the summer and supported us with cleaning and maintaining the farm and buildings here! She was always so kind and enthusiastic, and her sunny energy was a pleasure to have around. Thanks again, Lisa, and best of luck with your onward travels :)

Ariel and Oren set a calm and reliable tone from the very beginning. They picked up the initial guidance quickly, turning early instructions into steady, self-directed work within a day or two. Tools and materials always returned to their places, no loose ends. Their presence was steady and polite, making day-to-day communication simple. Tasks were completed on time and without fuss. The space they left behind was neat, clearly cared for through consistent attention rather than last-minute effort. Great folks, would love to host again!

Bella stayed with us for several weeks and created an excellent promotional video for the farm! She really put time and care into what she created for us, and we are very glad for the time she spent here!

Konrad was an excellent addition to our team for two weeks! He helped with building new raised garden beds, firewood, and a ceiling construction project. He also prepared some lovely meals for us and created an incredible chess set from scratch! You are welcome back any time Konrad :)
