Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Very nice experience with Sayaka. She has been part of the family and helped a lot around the house and the garden. Highly recommended, Communication was not always easy since English level of Sayaka is medium.

I had a great time with Fabio and his family. They own a really nice place in the center of Puglia, a big land full of olive trees, figues, ancient walls, charmin buildings and lovely animals. Their project is really big and there are a lot of things to be done, so you can help in a variety of tasks depending on your skills, including gardening, construction, restoration, wood work, animal care, etc. I stayed one month and mostly help with agriculture, olive harvesting, pruning, clearing fields, gardening and taking care of the animals. I used to work from 6 to 7 hours per day, 5 days a week. The accomodation was very nice, a big house with all facilities, even a projector to watch movies XD but very cold in winter times. The communication with Fabio and Judit (and little Lila) was excellent, they were always open to hear my needs and points of view. I'll always be grateful for this time in their place. Thank you and see you next time!

Lupe and Tennyson came to pet and house sit while I was away and my two dogs adored them. They also did a very nice job of tidying up the garden ready for winter. They’re both happy, interesting and positive people and we had some great conversations. I miss their company and wish them well

We had a great stay by Troji. Starting with the accomodation, many rooms are offered in the guest house - dedicated to the workawayer and not shared. Each morning we had the chance to taste one of Troji's creations from the bakery : bread, brioche, pastries... a real delight ! Lunch and Diner were often shared with his family, either at one of their place or at the restaurant. They were all very kind to us and made us discover many chinese food we never tried before. Troji was really welcoming, always helping, and drove us around to discover the nature around his place. If the future allows us, we would really like to be able to come meet him again :)

Lena was a pleasure to host. She committed to the considerable projext of designing, painting and posting dozens of permaculture-themed signs and stuck to it. A great addition to the volunteer team, and a joy to have around. Thanks for the kindness and grest vibes you brought with you, Lena! Hope we see you again!

In one week, I grew enormously close to Ika and her family, She picked me up at the airport to take me to an English camp with young high school students. We had an incredible weekend where we were able to interact with the students. We had dinner with the teachers and attended a beautiful show put on by the young people to help them improve their English. Then we returned to the village where Ika lives with her parents and children. The food was just incredible - they love fish :) thanks grand ma <3 I was able to go for my first run in 25 years near the rice fields. I observed the structure of Ika's school and her daughter's school, as I plan to become a teacher. The whole neighbourhood is really welcoming. Then we tasted Gado Gado, and I loved continuing to eat this delicious dish for dinner <3 It was an excellent stay, where I discovered a local wedding and baby shower! Not to mention the cassava that I cut with the help of the neighbours ;) You can trust Ika with your eyes closed. I hope to have the chance to see you again. I miss you already. Darina

We spent 10 days with Tul. We did social media for her and her italian restaurants. We learnd a lot about Thai culture and food!! Overall we had a nice experince. Thank you!

I hosted Joel for a month, between November and December 2025, and I can simply say he's the perfect Workawayer! He's attentive and very responsible, and he carried out his assigned house maintenance tasks very well. He's definitely a hard worker, and he also loves football and sports. He's also interested in learning about Spanish culture and the Spanish language as well, all with a great sense of humor. Summing up, do not hesitate to meet Joel if you ever have the chance to do it!

I had a great time staying in Mike and Vinces beautiful house, gardening in the very large garden! Great hosts, great food and great advice on where to visit in my free time. Helpful and friendly, this was the perfect first workaway for me.

Kiara stayed with me for a week in November 2025. She helped me with cleaning, organising and gardening chores. She was very helpful, organised and a pleasure to have around. We had some lovely chats and she helped me with my open studio event.

Madoka was a great help in our home, she helped us with cleaning, delicious cooking and is patient, friendly and fun with the children. She was always aware of the safety and well-being of our children. He made a very good relationship with us and with our family in general. She is a person who likes to collaborate, mature, educated and her food is spectacular She is welcome to our home many more times. We are going to miss her a lot.

I volenteered for a week and I loved it we preperd the hostel for a surf weekend, cleaning and arranging the place for hosting. at day had a lot of time to enjoy the garden, the dogs, the sun, the beach, the towns around. and every night after dinner we talked a lot. I felt really safe to be myself, to host and cook and to take breaks when i needed. Mateo and Mar are amazing, funny and nice. they answerd gladly and patiently for every question i had about bioconstrucción and the area. thank you guys for giving me a home and a listening ear :-) I super recommend volenteering

Thanks to Pat and John, I spent a surprisingly fulfilling time despite my short stay for 6 days. Their land is peaceful, quiet and beautiful. It was a wonderful memory to relax and enjoy the sunset with them. I worked with John and amazed at his knowledge and skills about gardening, forest maintenance, bushfire management, electrical work and operating heavy machinery⋯etc. Pat is a very kind person and a great cook, and I enjoyed every meal she cooked. I am really inspired by not only their lifstyle but also their life itself. They know how to enjoy a life and are one of the happiest people I have ever met. Thank you so much for hosting me this time. I will be back in the near future.

These guys are so cool! They welcomed me with open arms, literally, and with only a couple days notice. They gave me the opportunity to let my creativeness run wild. They trusted me to work with different elements, wood, paint, mud, fire, knot tying. Laughing at silly jokes with Ruby and Junot was awesome. And cuddling one of the 13 cats who are always wanting attention! Going for walks on the prairie in the evening, at night or early morning (covered in ice) is beautiful. The whole family is so dedicated to helping other people and you can see it shining from within. Anaïs

Claire has been a true hero that I will not soon forget. She steps up to the plate and helps anyone in need. I was one of them and she took me in and showed what a true Canadian really is. Any one looking for a peaceful place in exchange for an honest day of work will appreciate this place. Thanks again Claire and hope we meet again soon.

Thomas was wonderful to have with us this Fall. He helped me build my small Barn/Shed and he is very skilled at his trade. We really lucked out having him here on the Farm. He helped feed the Hogs and the Chickens work in the garden and get stuff ready for the winter season . We are grateful that he stayed longer to help with finishing the hogs. He was a great companion to us as well playing board and card games and fit right into the family here. Our door is always open to him any time he wants to visit in the future. We highly recommend him to any host. Thanks so much Thomas, enjoy Ottawa

Amandine was wonderful to host. We had a busy schedule and the time flew by quickly. She is a wonderful young lady who is easy to co-habitat with. She worked hard and was aways thinking forward about the various activities we worked on. We would be happy to host her any time in the future and wish her the best on her future travels.

beautiful remote property out in the jungle. Really feel part of the forest and was made to feel very welcome. Given lots of freedom to do what work I please (build a roofed platform) chazuta is the nearby town and was very warm and welcoming but a 30 min tuktuk ride. wpuld certainly go again! Thankyou for having us!!

Shayna and Lewis are absolute top tier volunteers and humans. They went above and beyond with everything they did and were incredibly competent, proactive and considerate. When they first arrived they house sat for us for six days. They were keen for a list of jobs to do when we were away so i gave them a selection to choose from. When we got home our entire wishlist was completed! Similarly, the other days we had to go out we arrived home to a delicious meal, help unloading and everything at home taken care of. They helped with everything from preparing new garden beds, moving rocks, house demolition to salvage building materials and so much more! We would wholeheartedly recommend these legends
