Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

It was so fun to live with Inne, Jack and their adorable girls, Lou and Millie. 2 weeks fly by when in good company! I enjoyed weeding the garden and helping with the everyday household tasks. Inne and Jack invited me to join community events, encourage me to go out to live music and to spend sunny days in Sumner and Diamond Harbour. I highly recommend this family as hosts!

My time at Ashoks place was absolutely wonderful! He is such a kind person as well as his whole family. I felt welcome and home from the beginning! The work is very interesting and you can experience the farming and way of living very authentic. Ashok also answers you every question no matter if its about the culture, farming or about hiking. The food you get is super tasty and its very nice to eat together with the family! His children are also very lovely and interesting to talk to! I can only recommend spending time there! I wish all the best to the family and the farm! Grateful, Noah

we stayed for just one week but this was the most memorable experience of our travel to Nepal. Ashok's family is so incredibly welcoming, kind and generous. We had so much fun getting to know his kids and learning about Nepali culture in the most authentic way. The work itself is hands-on gardening, nothing too heavy but be ware of bugs, haha! We got to know other volunteers too, which is always enriching. I recommend this workaway 200%! thank you Koriala's for everything ❤️

Zelda and Matthew lives in front of a nice park where I enjoyed taking Merlow for a daily walk. I find the work to be quite easy. Cooking dinners, gardening and keeping the house clean. Zelda showed me her Art Studio where I did various tasks and painting pottery samples and bowls. I felt pretty lucky to learn more about pottery. Thank you Zelda for the opportunity and our conversations.

We stayed with Peter for a few days and had a wonderful time there. The accommodation he offers is by far the best we experienced, it's a small house that we had all to ourselves, which is really great, with a beautiful view over the ocean and a lot of space to relax. The work we did was really fair and he cooked delicious meals! We highly recommend staying with him!

Rachael made me feel welcome the second I arrived. I enjoyed visiting another part of Wellington and I felt like part of the family when playing board game in the evening. The work was fair and flexible. I also did some creative home decor which was fulfilling.

Coppia fantastica che mi ha fatto da house sitter per 3 settimane. Hanno risolto moltissimi problemi in autonomia,poiche' IL workaway precedente (che faceva l house sitter) ha abbandonato casa e animali senza preavviso,di conseguenza al loro arrivo Hanno Trovato un Vero disastro, Le porte Della casa erano aperte con tutti animali (anche Capra e galline) che avevano defecato dapertuttoe semidistrutto la casa🙈😱. Dani e Ana Hanno pulito e risolto tutti I problemi mentre Io non c 'ero. Inoltre si Sono presi cura di casa e animali in maniera amorevole e impeccabile. Mi e' solo dispiaciuto(a causa di UN imprevisto) non poter passare nemmeno UN Giorno con questa coppia, perche' avrei anche potuto imparare qualcosa dalle loro esperienze. Raccomandati 100% soprattutto per house sitter 🥰Spero tornino UN giorno🥰

To host Daniel and his wife Xenia was an incredible experience. Both are super friendly, polite and good hearted . We had spent good time together and had a lots of fun. We hope you will have an amazing experience in your future travels and hope to see you again some day.

For those looking to fully immerse themselves in the beautiful Finnish nature and a simple way of life, this is the perfect place. My experience staying here was truly amazing! Jakob was an excellent host and happy to share every aspect of his culture and way of life. I learned many new skills, and was able to share some of my own. I would love to visit again in the future!

Erin stay with us in starting in December and she mainly helped us in English and Maths lessons. She tried her best to work and communicate with children and communicate very well with them. We wish her all the best and hope we will host her again soon

Timothy stayed with us for 11. Days. He mainly helps us in our English, maths and computer classes where he help children to basics of Data collection and some information about Gender inequality.and some physics lessons too. Children always enjoyed to talk with him . And he use translation app very well to communicate with children. We wish him all the best for his journey. Hope we will meet again with him soon.

She is very kind, always smiling, and has a calmness and maturity that is rare for someone her age. She is intelligent and able to remember tasks after being told just once. She understands very well why things need to be done in a certain order, and she is also good at thinking for herself and finding faster, more efficient ways to finish tasks. She got along well with both Charlie from Hong Kong and Yang Yang from China, and built a great team with each of them. She has no food dislikes at all and always enjoyed everything, saying it was delicious. Sometimes she would look slightly amused or puzzled watching Charlie’s eating habits—such as eating all the vegetables first when meat and vegetables were meant to be eaten together—or his slow pace, which also showed how mature and composed she is. Because she is so thoughtful and considerate, everyone liked her. She was especially proactive in helping with cooking, which is actually quite rare among Western volunteers, as many cannot cook well and are often reluctant even to wash dishes. She truly loves dogs and treated each of them with great kindness. Whether bathing them or drying them, she was always gentle and attentive, carefully thinking about how to make the dogs feel comfortable and not stressed. She is very good with her hands and is especially skilled at detailed tasks like making dumplings. Honestly, I don’t think there is anyone who could dislike her. I would highly recommend her to any host.

George stay with us around a week in December and we had a good time with him. He teaches some drum lessons and children enjoyed his classes. He also helped us in making Christmas Cards in Primary school. We wish a good luck to him and love to host him again for more days.

I stayed one week with Tara and his family and I had a very beautiful time. He is really reactive so it was easy to get to the place. The accommodation is really good, the food also and the village, with the fields around are so peaceful. I was helping the family by gardening, cooking and at the school by giving some classes with wonderful childrens. Never more than 3h/day so you have a lot of free time. I went to a jeep tour with him, and you have bicycle available so it’s easy to move around. Tara and his wife are really nice people and they will do everything to make sure you have good time. I recommend this place a lot and I hope we’ll see each other again.

Saodara Saodari I had the chance to spend one month (initially 3 weeks, but I extended my stay because I loved it so much). Thanks to Tasya, Afif, Putra, Aceng, Rina, Fathya, Repa, Angie, Rizqi, Farhan, Faiz, Ibu and Bapale (and also Laura, Christin and Evan). And I can truly say that I will keep this stay in my memory forever! From the very first minutes, I was welcomed with great hospitality and immediately felt at home. In the village as well! Everyone wants to share a moment with you and will always give you a smile. (I was welcomed so warmly that after many laughs, a local name was even given to me!) I was able to learn about permaculture: its techniques, plants, composts, and more. During this month, I worked in the garden from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m., and had my afternoons free. Here, we eat together, share meals, cook, and laugh together :) They also generously introduced me to their religion, its history, and its practices. Very beautiful moments 🌟 Tasya and Afif also gave me the opportunity to develop personal projects. For one week, during my working hours, I was able to create paintings and also start a documentary about them. The place is very lively: there is always something to do if you want to discover, someone to talk with, a cat to pet, or a beautiful photo to take. I hope I’ll be able to come back and visit you again ;) terima kasih! If anyone reading this message has questions to ask a workawayer, I’ll be happy to answer (as you’ve probably guessed, my best advice will be to go there haha). Lola

Sarah was very easy to be with she followed instructions really well and completed the tasks I set for her to a high standard. She was very keen to help with the big projects I needed help with. She was also a fellow musician very humble about her talents and so she fitted in well with my musical environment and another Workaway who was also a musician. I enjoyed her company, our conversation and her friendly manner. I wish her well in her travels in Aotearoa. NGA mini Sarah.

We had a fantastic 3 week stay with Yosl, Dana and their two wonderful kids in beautiful Diamond Creek. Our days were full of interesting and rewarding work which included home and garden maintenance, renovation projects and general household help (cleaning, meals, helping with the kids, etc.). There was good communication around jobs to do and flexibility in choosing projects that align with your strengths and interests. Dana and Yosl also frequently expressed their appreciation for the work we were doing which was great. They were very warm and welcoming and we felt at home right away. We really enjoyed playing with the kids and sharing meals together with the family, especially the Shabbat dinners where we got to experience and learn more about Jewish culture and rituals. The room we slept in was spacious and comfortable with a private bathroom. Getting into Melbourne was straight forward on the train taking about an hour. We were often given rides to/from the station which we really appreciated. We highly recommend staying here, especially if you like varied projects and enjoy a family environment. Thanks so much Dana and Yosl for a great experience. We really enjoyed our time with you and the kids!

Working at this hostel was my first Workaway experience, and it couldn’t have been better. David, Berny, and Proxy are incredibly kind, welcoming, and caring people :) They always made sure everything was going well and that everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. I learned so much about the local culture, whether through conversations with them or the activities we shared together. I already miss the Hostel and would highly recommend it to anyone!! Thank you all so much for this unforgettable experience and all the wonderful memories!🫶🏻

Sascha is super calm, smart, and loved to enjoy time together. We've learned a lot each other 😊

Excelentes personas! Se adaptan perfectamente. Mucha buena onda. Les deseo lo mejor en el viaje. Saludos amigos!!
