Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Eleni is that little extra you want to have in a team! She has her own unique sense of humor, limitless creativity, and a fun touch of craziness. She adapts to any type of role, but don’t hesitate to ask her to do some marketing for you (she helped us a lot with our social media, for example :) ). In short, don’t hesitate!

Kat volunteered at our Hostel for a month. During this time, she contributed far beyond the usual activities, sharing traditions like Thanksgiving with us, for example. She has a calm, sociable, teamspirit and hardworking personality. She’s a discreet but very efficient member of any team :)!

Our family feels truly blessed to have shared our lives with Weronika. During the more than three months we spent together, a beautiful bond grew between us. Wero is thoughtful, motivated, and a caring person. I strongly recommend her to any host, you won’t regret it. We wish you all the happiness, Wero, and we truly hope to see you again around here.

Staying with Karen and Ryan was one of those unexpected, golden experiences that ends up shaping your whole trip. I was touring around on my mountain bike when I stumbled across this wonderful family, tucked away in the perfect community of Roberts Creek. The weather was unreal from day one, which made settling in even easier, sunny days, warm evenings, and that laid-back coastal vibe that immediately makes you feel at home. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed not just into their house, but straight into their community. The work was exactly the kind of hands-on stuff I enjoy ,digging holes, creating space for a hot tub and decking ,but the real highlights were everything that happened around those projects. We’d wrap up in the warm evening light, then drift into huge shared dinners, lots of laughs, and some truly unhinged chats that I’ll remember for a long time. Somewhere in there I also got introduced to Korean fermentation, which was both hilarious and genuinely fascinating. Because the weather stayed perfect, every day flowed into something fun. There were random house parties with the locals, long relaxed hangouts after work, and one unreal night kayaking on the ocean with the brightest phosphorescence I’ve ever seen , the kind of moment you can’t plan but never forget. Honestly, what more can you ask for from a travelling and Workaway experience? Great people, meaningful work, real connection, and the kind of memories that stick with you. I’m incredibly grateful for my time with Karen and Ryan, and I’m sure our paths will cross again. Highly recommended.

Philomène a été comme une brise fraîche dans notre famille. Une personne calme, très autonome et qui voit le travail sans avoir à lui dire. Plusieurs tâches étaient nouvelles pour elle et elle a développé rapidement ces nouvelles compétences. Nous avons bien rit autour des jeux de cartes lors de nos soupers! Merci de ta présence douce et bien ancrée durant tout ce mois de novembre!

Staying at Lea and David´s was such a warm, heartfull experience. From the first moment I felt at ease on their land. It felt so special to be welcomed in their little family and the daily life that comes with it. Seeing their tenderness with lovely Adda was beautiful to witness and it feel like that energy was sensible on their entire land. The weeks were full of olives and although the days flew by so quickly, it also felt very spacious. Lea and David checked in regularly, making sure everyone was doing well. It felt wholesome to spend days up in the trees, collecting the olives, having the best conversations, listening to music, take some breaks for the most delicious snackplatter or lunch. Ending the days with a family dinner, a spontaneous dance, fire or just retreating in our caravan/yurt. It felt like every pace was honored, something that's very important to me. It was days full of laughter, working, olive bets, desserts, sweet conversations, delicious meals and friendship. These weeks were just too short, but I'm quite confident that I will come back here. Thanks again so much for everything, you're the best!

My experience here was truly fantastic! The place is immersed in nature and absolute tranquility, surrounded by animals and beautiful plants. The refuge itself is very well built, cozy, and full of charm. Bruno and Clarita are exceptional hosts, they made me feel welcomed from the very first moment and truly part of the development of this wonderful place. The work was varied, sometimes physically demanding, but the energy of the place and the sense of sharing always made it enjoyable. I mainly helped with outdoor gardening tasks and indoor maintenance to improve the refuge. Thank you so much, Bruno and Clarita, for this amazing experience. You are building something truly beautiful, and I’m sure it will become even more magical in the future!

The best experience in Greece! Krystalenia is a fantastic host, always very interested in making you feel comfortable. She loves to teach her culture and customs, and she’ll invite you to participate in all the events and parties she attends. Also, if you can and are interested in participating in their family life and with their friends, which are incredible. Participating in their dances, friendships, and parties has been one of the best parts of the trip. Krystalenia make it very easy for you to do the assigned tasks and will never make you anything you are not capable of. In short, as the days went by, Krystalenia became more of a friend than a hostess, and I’m sure we’ll meet again in the future. Agios Nikolaos is a quiet town with incredible beaches and crystal-clear water, and all the surrounding areas and towns are wonderful. I recommend it to everyone who wants to visit Crete, I had a great time and experience. Thanks you so much, a big hug and friends forever!!

I had an excellent time working with Solana in Argentina. She and her family were so kind to me, welcoming me with open arms. The kids are a delight to work with as well. They are bright, lively, and energetic! I was able to have privacy by having my own room, which was something that was important to me going into the Workaday experience. I can be a bit of an introvert at times. The neighborhood Solana lives in is also very walkable and popular amongst both locals and tourists, making it the perfect place to live. I felt safe at all times, both in an out of the home. Solana is also very flexible and communicative when it comes to hours, tasks, and scheduling. Overall, I would definitely recommend this experience to others and would even come back myself!

If I could recommend one workaway, It would be the organic farm of Anja and Mike. You will be welcome as a member of the family. Thanks to them you will learn a lot about organic farm, gardening, weeding, harvesting, etc. I spent a month in this farm and It was a wonderful experience. People are all very kind with great conversations. There are a many workawayers in the farm and the energy is just incredible. Thank you a lot Anja and Mike !

We welcomed Jasmyne and Olly into our family around Thanksgiving, and from the start, they fit right in. They helped us prepare the garden for winter — levelling an area for mowing, transplanting bushes, fixing the raspberry trellis, removing annual trellises from the vegetable beds, planting garlic, making a lasagna garden, collecting leaves, and tackling plenty of weeds (including stubborn grasses and bindweed). They also cooked wholesome meals, cleaned the dishes, the floors, and the bathroom. Everything they did was done with very little instruction and a lot of skill. On top of all that, they house-sat for us while we were away in Mexico, which gave us such peace of mind. It was amazing to have them here, and I was so grateful for all the work they did. I think our property has never been as prepared for winter as this year. They are always welcome back here anytime, and we would highly recommend them to any other host. We wish them all the best in their future travels and adventures.

Eulogio just stayed two days in my place because he had issue with a hand, but he was helpful, polite, nice person, i can reccomend him.

Selva has some polish roots and we had some interesting conversations, she was polite and trying to do the jobs well done, maybe some misunderstandings sometimes but overall it was good experience,

After just under three weeks at Dani’s place I came away refreshed and energised. The space fosters healthy living, spiritual practice, interesting conversation and a calm, playful energy. I spent the time with a few other great people listening to good music, dancing, sharing meals and the workload was manageable with a few different options of tasks. If there is a task you are passionate about then Dani is happy to see you get creative. Dani has suggestions for the activities going on in the city and is happy to help you figure out getting around. It is surrounded by beautiful mountains which I could day trip to hike peaks and discover waterfalls - the views are stunning! If you are looking for a space to slow down, bring positive vibes and live intentionally I would definitely recommend here!

Katie and Earl are such warm, loving, and patient parents. I really admire the way they interact with their children. In every situation, they manage to stay relaxed and find solutions to problems together. They manage to create an atmosphere where you can feel comfortable at all times. I had a really wonderful time with Stella, Hartley, Dylan, and Jake. All four are very bright and lovable children, funny and wild, very smart and real Potterheads:). I quickly grew fond of them all. Also, my days were really relaxed, I enjoyed doing all the household chores, which were so much less than I have to do at home haha. Most of the time I played with Hartley, took him to kindergarten or went to the park with him and had so much fun with this quirky kiddo!:) In the mornings, I always had plenty of time to myself to explore the area, which is also beautiful. (Tip: MadeAtNest in Frome, such a nice place:) Thank you so, so much for the wonderful time with you, I'd love to see you again some day!

I spent a wonderful two weeks with Aicha and Louise. Aicha is a wonderful mother and a very energetic and funny woman. During this time, I learned a lot about autism and different learning approaches. Louise is a lovely teenager who loves to cuddle. We also had dance sessions every day. It was a wonderful first Workaway trip. Thank you so much!

I stayed here for about 6 weeks in autumn/ winter. It was my first time working in the gastronomy so of course i first had to learn the basics (taking order, making drinks, brining drinks/food out, etc.) after a few tries i got the hang out of it and it worked fairly well! Besides working as a server, I also helped as a dish-cleaner in the kitchen, in room-cleaning from the Hotel and cleaning up the yard - there was always something to do! At first - due to me being new in this field - there were a few miscommunications and bumps along the road but you can always talk to Frank and Andrea and it will get sorted out. The longer I stayed the more I got to know there system and how they like to run their gastronomy - so I tried to adapt to that and embrace the work. The surrounding area is absolutely beautiful! Surrounded by mountains and woods - literally can walk for hours without meeting people and just enjoying the calmness of nature! Only thin is that in winter time the bus does not run (mid October 'til Spring) so without a car you're quite remote. Though they have bicycles that you can borrow! And let's not forget their lovely dog - Lil - even though she's big, she's such a kind and adorable puppy. Overall it was a very pleasant experience, one i wouldn't want to miss! Super excited to come back next time in spring or summer! Definitely would recommend it if you're looking for a place in nature and with nice historical bavarian style.

Julie's home is beautiful and Algodonales is positively charming. I spent 9 days there weeding, decluttering and cleaning a shed, and helping with kitchen chores. Work began at 7-7:30am to 1-ish. After lunch I was free to explore the surrounding areas. The paragliding group that was staying at the BnB was friendly and taught me about parachutes/gear (this area of Spain is known for the sport). Julie provides very detailed oversight and has a hands-on management style. If you work well with this style, you may work well together. Mealtimes often changed and meals were expected to be eaten together. Also, food portions were on the smaller side. Twice a day Julie took her pups for a walk and invited me along. I enjoyed chatting with the paragliders and locals in Algodonales. I would recommend timing your stay here with another workaway, and having a car would be ideal. I'm glad to have gotten the opportunity to explore this area in Andalucia.
