Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Emma, came to us for 2 weeks and stayed 3 months :) She is a gorgeous caring and capable young lady who always has a smile and fantastic attitude. She was responsible for housekeeping and meal preparation for up to 12 people some meals. She managed her time well and she completed all tasks that were asked of her. It was a pleasure to have her in our home and as part of our team for our harvest training season and I am forever grateful she stayed for the whole season instead of just the two weeks ... We look forward to keeping in touch and hopefully seeing her back here one day or meeting up somewhere else in the world.. Travel Safe and enjoy Emma, you deserve all the best that life offers. Thank you again.. And yes Rogan, Mocha Merlin and junior are missing all their cuddles... :) xx

We were so lucky to have Berta and Alba with us! From the moment they arrived, they brought incredible energy, kindness, and a true spirit of teamwork. They were always ready to help, whether it was supporting the kids, assisting with daily activities, or jumping in wherever needed. Their good vibes were contagious, and their presence made a real difference in our project and community. Thank you both for your dedication, your warmth, and for being such amazing team players. You’ll always have a home here with us! 💛

Eres muy dulce como la miel jejejeje, gracias por tu compañía y ayuda, eres muy especial, amable, carismática, preciosa, eres muy bella por dentro y por fuera. Gracias Ellie, contigo sentí que entendí más palabras en inglés, también creo que ayudó muchísimo las clases con Renale y escucharte hablar mucho con Renale y Luka.

Mi experiencia con Evie fue muy linda pero con Valery fue extraordinaria, conectaron muchísimo, tanto que envió a su Peppa de viaje con Evie. Gracias por tu dulce simpatía, por hacer click con mi princesa, eres su gran amiga y tienen a Peppa como un regalo de amistad, una forma de permanecer juntas en la distancia. Gracias Evie, esperamos que vuelvas a Colombia, que nuestra tierra se convierta en tu hogar también. Besos y abrazos y esperamos volverte a ver y darte un gran abrazo. Hasta pronto

Madeleine eres una voluntaria maravillosa, siempre con ganas de colaborar, disponible, dispuesta a mejorar los entornos, cada vez que bajo los escalones que hiciste agradezco por esa tarea que nació de ti hacer, eres muy especial, te recordamos y tú forma de ser tan bella, extrovertida, sin temor a las miradas, eres una excelente bailarina, brillas con luz propia, eres hermosa, inteligente, humilde, eres maravillosa. Gracias por elegirnos y por tu tiempo con nosotros. Bendiciones y espero que disfrutes tus vacaciones besos y abrazos

Renale y Luka son geniales, Luka es muy divertido, apasionante sus ganas de ayudar, su amor por los patos y su repentinamente pasión por los jaguares jejejeje no podré olvidar a tan peculiares voluntarios. Gracias por su tiempo, por su ayuda y por la confianza de sentirnos como familia. Espero vuelvan a nuestro hogar pronto. Abrazos y gracias siempre 😽

I had a lovely time in Nelson with Matt and Sally (and of course the wonderful dog Zia). They taught me a lot about kiwi culture and tramping. They were even so flexible to let me do the Abel Tasman track during my stay with. them. The tasks I had to do were hard work, but very rewarding. It mostly consisted of weeding (Gorse cutting and tradescantia removal), but I also got to plant some native trees, which was a lot of fun! They also gave me many tips about what to do in the area and offered the use of their spa, which I gladly accepted :) Sally even made sure to cook vegetarian for me, which was so kind and also very delicious!!

Ayana, Tanya and Kerry have the most beautiful property hidden away on the other side of a river, but wow is it a gem. Kayaking back and forth became second nature immediately and adds a bit of fun to everyday. The family are the most wonderful people you will meet, you're definitely missing out if you don't stay here - I hope to return later this year to tell them about my travels :) xx

As our second WorkAway experience, we spent an inspiring week in Barbera and Stephan's Food Forest in our Campervan, doing some structural work in their garden and a bit of masonry work which was quite a challenge because rain made it's appearance and would just not go away the whole time we were there. Though both juggling busy work schedules and activities, they were always incredibly relaxed, always taking time for an inspirational chat or to show us things of interest in the garden or explaining details of their Food Forest. During our short stay, we were invited to join them for an open-day at a hazel and walnut plantation which was very interesting...though again in the rain. The evening meals we shared with them were always relaxed, never rushed, often with a few of their friends joining in, one of them, a Yoga Teacher, passionate about Shamanism, had just come back from a second horsebackring trip to Siberia. Stephan made us laugh with his adventures in India where he spent a considerable amount of time. Barbera's vegetarian cooking was varied and absolutely delicious and always accompanied with a fresh salade! During our stay we were also invited to join a music evening and a Yoga and Meditation session with a group of linkminded people, which was wonderfully soothing after a hard day of work in the cold and the rain. Barbera is gifted with a wonderful soft voice for her Meditiaton Sessions. The energy was good, they are both very Zen, and truly passionate about their Food Forest and sharing it with others which is what WorkAway is all about. Barbera, Stephan, thank you for having shared some of your knowledge with us, we will definately be back for another visit! (a huge hug to "Matti")

Staying with Annegrit for a couple of weeks was amazing, the work was challenging but good to build strength. Annegrit offers great conversation and helped me through a tough time. I highly recommend staying with her (and Tui and Stella) as she made my first experience with Workaway perfect

Dafydd gracias por tu ayuda, fueron pocos días pero de gran ayuda para nosotros. Eres un chico muy noble. Te deseamos lo mejor y gracias por tu tiempo y dedicación en nuestro vivero.

Hannes was a pleasure to host for Workaway and quickly became part of our awesome team. Thanks for everything Hannes and safe travels

A home away from home for 2 weeks. This was an amazing opportunity for me to work with Ana. It was not only volunteering work, but inviting me into her house and trust. We shared amazing moments together making breakfast; doing usual chores; working in the garden; thinking about future plans; building her social media; and the best part - talking about life and gaining so much knowledge from a very Wise and Loving Goddess. She would tell me in the morning after breakfast what she would like me to do for the day. Normally (on non raining days) I would work on a project in the garden and after lunch, I would continue or do other tasks like social media/painting/etc. On weekends, I went to explore the cloud forest, which she had many recommendations of for me - even discounts as a volunteer. Her house was absolutely amazing and the views were stunning. I saw so much wild life and the food was excellent! We even had a lunch/dinner out and a girls movie night. At night I would work as a Digital Nomad and then sometimes go out on town. The sleeping spot was comfortable. Ana was super flexible and was always interested in hearing about what I got up to. She also brings the most delicious smoothies when you least expect it. This was the best workaway experience I had. Last but not least, her two dogs and one cat will be your best friends instantly (and protectors ). I wished I could have stayed longer, but the journey must always continue. 100% recommended to open-minded people, who love to help and share :)

Fue una experiencia muy bonita compartir con Swann y Pauline, siempre dispuestos a colaborar y ayudar. Gracias por su ayuda son una pareja muy linda. Me hubiese gustado compartir más con ustedes. Bendiciones y muchas gracias por todo.

Xaxa was a great volunteer, she had a good skill in teaching English. She also very friendly. The students love her. We hope she comes back to our school.

It was a great pleasure having Chloe and Josh volunteering with us :) From the moment they arrived at our finca it felt like a great fit! They helped us beautifully with various activities, such as weeding, landscaping, chop and dropping in our food forest and moving rocks to create hard surface on the campground. They were both always ready for just any task, hands-on and very interested to learn new things. We have very much enjoyed spending time with Chloe and Josh. They are both super friendly & open minded and we could very much relate to their sense of curiosity to explore new paths in life. They are super recommended! Enjoy the journey guys :)
