Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

I'm glad I found Maria. This was my 1st Workaway and I highly recommend helping her if you get the chance. She was very helpful in organizing transportation to our house. She then picked me up at the bus station. Her house is very peaceful, and the place for me to stay was an entire separate apartment. It is located 50 meters from the sea. We also had meals together and did fun activities. She is very easy to get along with. Her cats are super cute and always want to play. The work was easy and Maria helped along side me. I highly recommend joining Maria if you get a chance. I'm very glad I did. Thank you Maria!

What a fantastic time with Niamh and her sweet teenagers and unforgettable dog. It's a house full of energy, and no two days are the same. I enjoyed Niamh's performance, a fantastic singer. We went for a lovely walk with other Workaway members. Helping behind the bar was also a fun afternoon. And the trust that I could repair her walls was also very rewarding. I wish you all the best and will definitely see you again. Greetings Saskia.

My experience was really healing and comfortable. Mila and Rubin are gem of a person. The cabin for volunteers was super cozy and the place is very enchanting and quiet. I was there during a retreat and it was a lot of learning. The host doesn't stay there so you might not have a very extreme cultural exchange but whenever she's there, she tries her best to teach you new things. I would definitely come back if I get a chance! Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us!

Siamo stati quasi un mese; Jenni e Stefano sono persone splendide e super attente. Dal primo giorno ci siamo sentiti a nostro agio. Il posto è bellissimo, piena montagna e bosco, pieno di animali e natura. Abbiamo condiviso pranzi deliziosi e molto piacevoli. E abbiamo assaggiato il tiramisù italiano fatto da Stefano. Buonissimo! Jeni ci ha invitato a un falò per il giorno di San Martino, una bellissima tradizione di famiglia che ci è piaciuto molto condividere. Per quanto riguarda il lavoro, nei primi giorni abbiamo fatto la raccolta delle olive e poi abbiamo aiutato con il pollaio, smontato un orto, svolto lavori di giardinaggio e aiutato a trasportare la legna, tra le altre cose. L’orario e i giorni liberi sono giusti, come richiesto da Workaway. L’appartamento in cui siamo stati è molto comodo e completo. Vogliamo sottolineare il riscaldamento: non abbiamo mai avuto freddo. Il paese più vicino è Ficulle o Fabro; di solito, se Jeni esce, ti avvisa per accompagnarti. Se ti piace camminare, puoi andare a piedi: non è lontano e il percorso è bello. mille alla famiglia per averci accolto, per questa splendida esperienza e per averci permesso di conoscere un po’ di più la cultura italiana. Un grande abbraccio ❤️

Fuimos en la nueva casa de Ricardo y fui una experiancia muy buena. Aprendimos mucho sobre la region y la fauna. es un paraiso de naturaleza y puede caminar porque todos lados y encontrar muchos aves diferentes. Ricardo esta un hombre muy amable y afectuoso que tiene muchas historias a contar. si volveremos el año proximo seria un placer de regresar. 😊 un abrazo de Thomas y Clémence

Roman is experienced in constructions, and he could really help me fix a lot of stuff around the house. I am very greatful for his help and his nice spirit. Thank you for being such an easy-going and skillful man. There is not many guys like this in a modern world.

Thank you, Mark, for all the care and love you brought to every task you took on. It was truly a blessing to have you with us. Your open heart, kindness, and gentle presence made a real difference during this busy season. We are grateful for your support and for being a part of it. It was a pleasure to meet you, and we wish you all the best on your journey. Thank you.

Lily and Archie stayed with us in October. They are an amazing couple, engaging, hardworking, skilled and most of all full of kindness and generosity. We all had a most positive and rewarding workaway experience. Apart from all the routines and chores there was an atmosphere of energy and fun. Many many conversations were had about….food, books, music, travel, animals, culture, swimming and much more. . Lily is a skilled and enthusiastic cook of good food. Archie can turn his hand to any task. We appreciated our time with them and missed them both when they left. However we are still making Lilys “toasties”. Thank you both Lily and Archie.

Jack is a great guy with a big heart. He has a lot of life experiences with livng around the world and it was nice to have him around. He is welcome here any time.

I spent 3 amazing weeks with Ronald, Rachel, and their little daughter Julia. The Project is a very interesting initiative to help reduce the effects of climate change in Uganda, through climate education in schools and tree planting in a rainforest subject to deforestation. Ronald is very passionate about the environment and truly dedicated to his work. He always made me feel safe and warmly welcomed me into his home and daily life. Uganda is a special country which offers beautiful natural landscapes, delicious food and very welcoming people!

Having the opportunity to visit Munay Forest with Ellen, Sven, Layra, and Aylani was a wonderful experience! We thank them for opening their home to us and allowing us to help with their beautiful project. We had the opportunity to work the land, plant trees, care for the animals... all in a natural, peaceful environment with idyllic scenery. We learned so much about permaculture. Ellen is a great teacher! She always made us feel at home and prepared delicious meals for us! If you have the chance to visit Munay, don't hesitate. You'll enjoy the walks with Ibo, family meals, the wonderful nature that surrounds you, and Ellen's kindness. She's always ready to help and make you feel welcome. Thank you so much for this experience! We hope to see you again.

Griffin and Emma, what a great couple, always on time, and no problem jumping into whatever we gave them to do. Both have a great attitude and were really enjoyable to be around, Griffen was always eager to use gardening and power tools and could finish the job given without supervision which is always a good trait. Emma was the same ready to jump in and get things done. A good example would be, we had several last minute bookings they wouldn’t hesitate to setup the treehouse for new guests arriving. They both participated in wood and plumbing projects and repairs. They left us an awesome addition to our jungle art mural that highlights lots of animals, critters and plant life. 🦋🐒🦎🌴🌺 Overall we loved hosting them both and would take them back in a heartbeat, and I don’t normally say that, they will be missed.

I stayed with a friend for 2.5 weeks in September and we had an amazing time staying with Adi :) We were in Palampur for most of the time and went up to Kunr for 4-5 days and both places are very special in their own way! Palampur was so friendly and welcoming, especially with Adis wonderful family while Kunr felt more unfamiliar and magical. We could only get to Kunr later because the roads had been destroyed during the monsoon, but Adi took very good care of us. He is a very hardworking and attentive person, who did everything he could to show us the area, told us about his family stories and even helped me organise an interview in Dharamsala. I cannot thank you enough, you are the best! Also Adi and his family have a lot of humour and always did their best to spend time with us, either sitting on the terrace, playing cards or going through old family photos. I truly cannot recommend this place enough! And I'm very sorry for leaving this review so late, I hope you are doing good and wish you all the best for your future :) Thank you for everything!

I spent three weeks in the Kedeli community last April, and that will be a memory I will always carry with me! Time spent there was so lovely and nice, I remember how I walked from the main road through a fog so thick you couldn't see your own feet, and when I arrived all the people from the community were waiting for me with big smiles and so much excitement. I immediately felt so welcomed and at ease in the house. I had no previous experience with people with disabilities and before arriving I didn't know exactly what to expect, but there was really no reason to worry. It's so easy to make friends with everyone, you will just blend in the life of the house so naturally, and the sincere and warm light of each person will make even linguistic barriers seem not that important. I worked mostly outside in the garden clearing it out from branches, a very peaceful and relaxing job. Hours of work are super reasonable, and you get two days off per week, so I could spend the weekend visiting other places in Georgia or just exploring around the area, which is absolutely amazing. I wish I had more time and I could stay longer. The food served for every meal is so delicious, and I miss sitting down at the table together with everyone. A really really beautiful experience that I am grateful about.

Cessco! Thank you so much for having me for over two weeks. you were super cool, reliable, smart, and knowledgeable about so many things, easy to talk to, and very hardworking man. From day 1, you and Yumi-san welcomed me like family and taught me so much about the ocean. You took me along to the surf lessons with the guests it was my first time, and I loved it and want to continue. You’re also a great professional surfer, and I was really happy to learn from you. I felt safe in the water and learned everything I needed as a beginner. My work was mostly around the house cleaning, doing chores, making beds for the guests, preparing the surf gear sometimes, picking up guests, explaining the house rules, and cooking dinner. but yes, you were the best cook in the house tho! loved your pasta. During my stay, I enjoyed learning Spanish with the workers and guests from different countries, watching movies, chilling and chatting and laughing on the porch, swimming after work, and of course “suffering” every morning! 🏄‍♂️ I’ll definitely would like to come back! I truly recommend this place to anyone loves meeting new people and who loves the nature& outdoors. Grazie mille!😊

Veronica was an excellent volunteer here for two weeks. She took on a variety of tasks including painting, harvesting & replanting around the finca, preparing our range of natural soaps for the local markets and helping us clean deep clean for the upcoming high season. Veronica had a positive, enthusiastic and hard-working attitude to all her tasks no matter how difficult, she understood what was asked of her every time and was comfortable asking any follow-up questions which we really appreciated. We also really appreciated her always asking if she can help more around the house or to make meals with us. Veronica is a very interesting and friendly volunteer so she was a joy to be around outside of her working hours as well. We really enjoyed swapping travel stories over our shared meals and heading to our favourite local beaches and waterfalls together. She is also very happy being independent and doing her own thing on her time off. Highly recommended!

It was a pleasure having Sarah as part of our volunteer team. She is a very friendly and respectful person, always willing to help with everything. She had a great relationship with both her colleagues and the guests. We hope everything goes well for her and that she can return to our hostel someday

Audrey was with me for nearly 2 weeks. She is great company and a very hard worker. The dogs adored her and even Mr Darcy (puss cat) allowed her to stroke him. I would highly recommend Audrey, especially her brownies!! Thanks for all your hard work.

C'était une aide inestimable pour la construction de la serre. Et de l'aide pour la réorganisation d'une autre serre pour laquelle j'avais manqué de temps. De belles échanges avec Cyrielle qui m'a bien aidé pour cuisiner. Votre venue fut une bénédiction.

Jannis y Fionna!!🥰 Agradecida por el tiempo compartido, gracias por ser parte de este hermoso sueño y proyecto que estamos construyendo; su ayuda fue vital para la construcción de nuestro baño ecológico vimos cómo lo construían con mucha dedicación y esmero. Jóvenes muy responsables y amables cumplieron todas las tareas asignadas Excelentes personas muy recomendable 💯 puntos esperamos que vuelvan pronto. Un 🫂 abrazo Yovana,Alain y Swami ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
