Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

This is one of the best of my Workaway experiences. Isa lives in a lovely house in a very central area of the island. I loved to go the refreshing river and the forest that is near her house, very good hiking and workouts. Isa gave me a beautiful room with a good bed and cosy light, excellent napping possibilities. What i like about her is that she is very independent and full of life. She introduced me to her friends, took me on hikes( she is expert, you hv to train to keep up with her in the jungle 😁), yoga, badminton, carnaval repetitions and stunning waterfalls. She really showed me what Guadeloupe is about. She is cultivated women that has excellent communication skills and advanced hammock chilling abilities. I had a great time, thanks Isa!

I had an amazing week although very short time at Hannahs place, special Christmas winter edition;) I got the chance to spend Christmas time together with Hannah and her lovely neighbors. tasks are very diverse, we work together to cut the woods, clear the brunches, never imagine myself can move so many woods. I also helped with the dishes and other house maintaining work, walk the dog. the views are always breathtaking even u just look from the window. Hannah is very good at handmade stuff and cooking, time with her in the kitchen is like therapy to me. I'm also happy to finish reading a English book at her place. I will recommend to come to her place, and I would like to come back again, share my new stories with her.

I've had an absolutely lovely time with Mint. Teaching the kids is a real joy, they're all very skilled and great to engage with. I would recommend this experience to anyone. Mint is very accomodating to any needs or requests you may have and she offers a great way to explore the otherwise rather unexplored city of Nakhon Sawat.

Tuve muy buena experiencia en ese voluntariado. La familia me hizo sentir bienvenida desde el primer día. También eran dispuestos para compartir su cultura conmigo y me llevaron a unos lugares muy lindos para conocer mejor la región. El lugar es muy tranquilo y seguro. Lleno de paisajes y naturaleza. Lo recomiendo a todos.

Perfectionnist, you say? Oh yes! So it was a real pleasure to have Maya and Florian with us for three weeks of work in and around the house. They were really hard workers and very fun young people. Maya was just A-MA-ZING when it was time to get rid of the hard water and soap stains on tiles. She rubbed relentlessly until the tile looked like new again. She also took care of the full cleaning of the kitchen and the pantry and she trimmed bougainvilleas to perfection. Florian learned fast with every new task my husband showed him and they worked well together : sandblasting wood, varnishing, gardening, etc. Also, we loved his French humor! Both were very respectful and discreet. They follow the rules and left the casita clean and in order. No doubt: they are highly recommended. Thank you both for your warm presence!

I swear I thought I left a feedback already.. =( Oh but its always nice to retype good things haha. Mimori & Keisuke had been such a great help, not just at the garden but also helping me for the social media. They were always cheerful, respectful and willing to help with anything. I love how they always want to try learn something new and I admire how they are able to adapt to various things really fast, without complaining. My family and the people at my place really love them as part of our family. I will never forget how they managed the livestream and promoted my place to everyone, it was fun! Thank you so much! =') As they are on their world trip, I know for sure, whoever gets to host them next time will be grateful to have them around :)

J’ai passé deux mois, et c’était mon tout premier volontariat, mais surtout l’une des plus belles expériences de ma vie. Si la suite de mon voyage n’avait pas déjà été prévue, je serais restée bien plus longtemps. Partager le quotidien de ces chiens incroyables et avoir le sentiment de leur être vraiment utile est profondément gratifiant. On s’attache énormément à eux, et leur dire au revoir est sans doute la partie la plus difficile. Même les chiens des voisins et de la rue deviennent vite attachants. Un immense merci à Sandrine pour sa bienveillance, son dévouement et son énergie sans limites, tu es une véritable source d’inspiration. Merci également à Eva et Paty, toujours présentes pour aider, guider et rassurer. J’ai eu la chance de participer à l’accueil de Camilo, un chien handicapé pour lequel nous avons aménagé un espace dans la maison. Ce moment restera l’un des plus marquants et émouvants de toute mon expérience. Cette aventure n’aurait pas été la même sans les autres volontaires, devenus de vrais amis. Le rythme est très raisonnable : quelques heures le matin et le soir pour nourrir les chiens, avec parfois des journées différentes pour le vétérinaire, les familles d’accueil ou l’aéroport. Le reste du temps, on profite pleinement de Troncones, un village simple et chaleureux au bord de l’océan. Surf, kayak sur le río, randonnées, cafés, excursions à Zihuatanejo… et même une petite salle de sport, un vrai plus pour une passionnée de CrossFit. Si j’avais eu plus de temps, je serais restée à Troncones sans hésiter. Merci pour cette expérience inoubliable, et plein de bisous à Kalise et Gabriel 💛

J’ai passé un excellent séjour de 3 semaines à la finca Malpasillo en compagnie de Lucía, Carlos, Luís, Anthéa et de tous leurs animaux dans un cadre incroyable avec des paysages magnifiques, proche de Grenade. J’ai pu apprendre bon nombres de choses sur la gestion quotidienne des cheveux et des animaux de la ferme. Avant mon passage à la finca, je ne m’était jamais occupée de cochons, d’oies, de canards… ce fût une joyeuse découverte ! J’ai également pu monter pour la premiere fois sur un étalon. Avec Carlos et Anthéa j’ai appris beaucoup de choses et j’ai également bien rigolé (l’imitation de poule de Carlos est presque parfaite:) )Grâce à Luís, j’ai pu bénéficier d’une immersion totale dans la culture espagnole et plus spécifiquement dans le flamenco =) Je remercie du fond du cœur Lucía de m’avoir aussi bien accueillie dans sa famille et de nous avoir préparé d’aussi bon repas!

thank you for the amazing time!!! I had so much fun t with the horses and other animals!❤️

We were extremely well welcomed, and this experience was without a doubt the best of all our Workaway experiences. The welcome, the sharing, the trust, and the atmosphere were amazing. This is the Workaway that comes closest to what the experience should truly be: a genuine, enriching, and respectful human exchange. We are leaving with wonderful memories and a lot of gratitude.🙏🏼 We highly recommend this experience without hesitation! Merci ! 😊

Thomas stayed with us for a month during the heart of winter, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better Workawayer. From the moment he arrived, he was kind, respectful, and genuinely eager to help with whatever needed doing, even in snow, cold, and the everyday realities of farm life. He was consistently clean, tidy, and thoughtful in our shared space, and he brought a calm, positive energy into the house. Thomas has a wonderful sense of humour that made long days lighter, and he quickly became not just a helper, but a friend. He was especially great company for Caity, who lives and works with us, and it meant a lot to have someone so easygoing and kind as part of our small household. One highlight we’ll always remember was Christmas Eve, when Thomas cooked us the most incredible duck à l’orange — a meal that felt both generous and deeply special, especially shared so far from his home in France. It was a true gift and a reflection of the care he brings to everything he does. Our dogs absolutely adored him (which says a lot), and he treated them with patience and affection. He was reliable, hardworking, and open to learning, and he approached tasks with a good attitude and a genuine willingness to contribute. We are very grateful for the time Thomas spent with us and would welcome him back anytime. Any host would be lucky to have him — he’s a warm, funny, hardworking, and thoughtful person who leaves a place better than he found it.

I've had an amazing time with Veronika and her daughters! I've spent two weeks with them, and I couldn't be happier that I did. From the very first moment I felt right at home. The work wasn't too hard, it varied from day to day,(mainly it was deep cleaning and organizing, though i did work in the garden sometimes :))and if there was any problem or question, it was very easy to approach Veronika. The house is very beautiful in a small but pretty village. Veronika, Ameli, Josefine- thank you so much for these magical two weeks. Thank you for all of the laughter, board games, great food, deep talks, tours around the area and most importantly- making me feel a part of the family.

I am beyond grateful to have Pi Kui and the Matches Group as my first Workaway experience. I truly loved the stay and the volunteering work, especially the chance to create toys and entertain children through free play. The activities were meaningful and showed how simple play can bring joy and comfort to kids. Pi Kui and the team were kind, welcoming, and very supportive throughout the experience. Working alongside fellow volunteers made the journey even more rewarding. I’m very thankful for this opportunity and would highly recommend this Workaway to others.

Hi everyone! I had lovely almost 4 weeks - nature is stunning and I often wish to still be surrounded by the beautiful mountains or swim in the turquoise water. During my time, two retreats were held. Work was pretty much but varied from cooking to cleaning ,painting things or fixing sth, and working hours varied. I think communication could be improved, but Javid was always open to criticism or a little chat. There were, apart from the other volunteer, only Germans, so cultural exchange was obviously limited, but I simply loved being in the beautiful natural setting- the mountains are stunningly beautiful and I highly recommend having walks. I stayed in a small tent during my time there, so be prepared to have a simple but very natural life where you can spend your free time having walks around the mountains or the sea or reading in one of the many hammmocks. Thanks for everything and all the best.

I will remember our time with Ann and Fitz as my favourite workaway! We stayed with them for three weeks and even spent Christmas with them, which was soo wonderful 💫 Hanna and I loved the place and the dogs BB and Dot, especially when we went for walks with them. They cured my fear of dogs :) Together with Ann we started clearing the loft and packing up some of her stuff because they have to move soon. It was so fun going through all the treasures that Ann and Fitz have collected (and we got so many lovely gifts from them!) and it didn't feel like work at all to me. Ann also took us to the towns and villages in the area and we met so many of their friends (which were all english speaking people). I loved the market as well! We had so many deep conversations with Fitz, watched lots of movies and british telly and had crafty afternoons with Ann. I absolutely loved it here and really hope we can visit eachother 💕 I already miss you guys and I wish you all the best!! Thank you for this wonderful time 💫

I had a fantastic time here in Guamal with Ricardo and his family. Luisa is a great point of contact and the family is very very welcoming. It's small town life but still with all the amenities you could need. Nice walks, nice swimming. A private volunteer area with kitchen and all the bits and bobs you could need. Abuela and Ricardo always popping over for chats in Spanish. the amount you want to improve is really about how much your willing to put in. The teaching was particularly rewarding, small groups, engaged kids and good vibes. I strongly recommend this stay and expect I might return one day.

I didn't expect at the end of difficult year I'll be living in the castle with great boss and many interesting personalities. Thanks Don Gianni, that I could do so many jobs like: cleaning swimming pool for goose, painting everything on brown colour or preparing the church on Christmas time. Fact that sometimes I have been in place for privileged people, makes that jobs even better. I think your place is perfect to get to know: Italian culture, architecture, vibe, language and cuisine by daily things. Those two months flew by so fast because it was a great time with Patrick Jane, Gerry Scotti, another guys and you. Thanks 🤙

I spent two weeks here. Such a great immersion in the Sergipean Culture with Tito and its mother. I would recommend a lot if you like nature, calm, eco-tourism. If you like to cook, make some little constructions or planting trees with the community. You can help in lots of different manners, depending what you like to do and what you want to learn.

Travelling in Turkiye as a couple, we had the chance to visit Emine's farm (it's a big farm !) for two weeks during the month of December. It was a lovely experience. Emine is truly an impressive person and you will certainly learn a lot about how a farm works. We were able to complete diverse and fun tasks, such as changing the irrigation system, walking the (adorables) dogs, planting lemongrass, etc. The schedule is very clear, which for us was a nice aspect, we knew what to do and when. We shared delicious meals cooked by Emine, for which we were grateful because they were nutritious, fresh and changed every day (also we always had yogurt). One good aspect is that you don't have to cook, which mean that you really have an off time during the lunch and the afternoon. The meals provided moments to talk about multiple subjects and make jokes, don't be shy to ask questions, Emine has great stories ! The farm is pretty big and is close to the sea (10 min walk), if you want to have a swim, and a cute village about 45 min walk, Ozbek. Make sure to pass by Urla, which is easily accessible by bus and a must see ! We highly recommend staying at Emine's farm! É mile and Lucie:)

Thank you Kak Muni for offering me to volunteer at the farm! I spent about 10 days there, and it was a great experience. They are super welcoming and generous. I helped with taking care of the chicken coops, weeding, lawn mowing, cleaning the guesthouses, and other ad hoc tasks. During my stay, the family brought us to the morning market in town. I also got to explore the village and visit the nearby hot spring. It's a very nice and peaceful place. Cik Lah, Kak Muni, Fizi, Ella & Faleeq, thank you so much for having me. I can't wait to see you again one day!
