Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Hosting Al was a pleasure. He was always ready to help and complete her tasks. I highly recommend her for other host. I appreciate his calm personality and his dedication towards his tasks With his initiative he was able contribute for positive change to my project. I am very grateful for her engagement.

Maribel is such a kind person with a unique sense of humor. It really felt like we had a special connection. We had lots of fun cooking together, playing cards and going on trips to the city, and she taught me a lot about Costa Rican culture. My room was very nice and we had all necessary amenities, although the wifi does not work at night. The work was sometimes monotonous, but never exhausting. I woke up very early in the morning to feed the animals and water the plants, and later removed weeds from the garden or did some chores in the house. It was great having so many dogs around, and I will miss each of them and Maribel a lot.

I stayed here for 5 weeks. And what a great experience! Armand, Bas and Ayrison made you feel welcome. I had a very nice, heated caravan for myself. I really liked the balance with work and time for myself. The food was insanely good. We ate like kings! The peace and quiet was perfect for me. I didn't expect my first Workaway experience to be this great. Thank you so much for the hospitality!

Hosting Siliva was a pleasure. She was eager to help and complete her tasks. I highly recommend her for other host. She helped me a lot in my garden and finished her work. Despite her short stay she contributed a lot.

Staying at Penny and Graham's was such a delight. They are wonderful people and will make you feel at home. I was very pleased with the work Graham and I did. We completed a number of jobs around their home even though it got pretty hot. You will not be dissapointed in staying and helping out at their home. I would recommend them 100%.

I stayed with Naomi for two weeks and had a truly wonderful experience. Naomi is a beautiful soul with a deep knowledge of medicinal herbs, and she loves sharing her wisdom generously with others. I learned a lot from her and felt very inspired. The tasks were enjoyable and varied: creating herbal beds, making tinctures, helping Naomi during workshops, mowing the lawn, and trimming banana trees. It never felt boring and was always meaningful. You should definitely be comfortable around nature – including spiders, mice, dogs, goats and chickens. If you enjoy a natural, rural environment, this place is perfect. I met wonderful people during my stay, and Coromandel Town is an absolutely beautiful little town. I highly recommend staying with Naomi – she is a very warm, kind and welcoming person. Thank you for this special experience.

We did our first workaway with Ria and have to say it was AWESOME and we loved our time there. During the two weeks that we stayed we got to experience many different schools that all greeted us like superstars. People were extremeley welcoming, open minded and interested. Same goes for Ria and her husband Rio. They are loveley & chilled people and always made us feel very at home. Kiara, Kinan and the smallest daughter are fun as well! They did make sure that even after school we'd go to an awesome hidden restaurant or another great site to make to most of our time One little thing you should know is that Ria lives in "Ria time" so she'll be late (always) & you can relax knowing that :D. THANK you so much for the fantastic insights into your culture, your open hearts and the opportunity to dive in deeper. Highly recommend the project.

Having Marie staying with us was one of the best decisions we’ve made! She’s a delight, such a hard worker! She turned our garden into a paradise and our house into a tidy place. She did her magic! She’s a great person to hang out with and lots of fun!

Hosting Miriam was a pleasure. She was always ready to help and complete her tasks. I highly recommend her for other host. Her energetic and lovely personality filled my home with joy and happiness. With her ideas she was able contribute a positive change. I am very grateful for her engagement.

Flora and Jaydin helped me at home with washing the hostel’s bedding and cleaning the floors in my house, and they also made amazing videos for my hostel with their drone. They stayed with me for more than one month, and it was a very comfortable and fruitful coexistence. They are a couple of travelers who are extremely kind and respectful. They were very kind in cooking a delicious dinner for us every Sunday. I loved their vibe—they were always happy and laughing, and that was beautiful to see. I really enjoyed living with them and recommend them 1000%.

I stayed with Darway and his family for 3 nights, and I’m really grateful for the experience. They welcomed me with genuine warmth and made me feel comfortable right from the start. They took the time to show me local places and shared stories that helped me understand more about Taiwanese culture, history, and daily life. Even though my stay was short, it felt meaningful, relaxed, and full of moments I’ll remember. Thank you again to Darway and his family for opening their home to me and treating me with such kindness. I wish you all the best of luck in the future, and I truly hope our paths cross again someday.

What a remarkable slice of paradise Mark and Maz have!! Their location is nothing short of incredible. They are such good, kind people. I feel like I learned so much from them and my fellow volunteers though I spent just a week there. I don't think I'll ever stop looking over my shoulder for old man's beard wherever I go! haha Helpful tidbits for potential volunteers: the cleanliness of the living spaces when you arrive depends on the other volunteers who came before you. Leave the space better than you found it and hope the previous volunteers did the same! Cooking together is a great way to befriend the other volunteers. If you're interested in this Workaway, it's probably because you're outdoorsy, so the weeding and hiking aspects will appeal to you. Make peace with the presence of bugs, including in the shared bathroom (a partially open-air shower in a river-rock floored room and the sole toilet, a composting outhouse we affectionately dubbed the Shrek Shack). Above all, enjoy the immense beauty, which will make your family and friends back home SO incredibly jealous.

I had an amazing stay at Yamunas and Tyags wonderful rural property. The welcomed me very nice and the accomodation and the food were fantastic! I mainly worked in the garden and made some weeding. I also cooked a lot, which was a of fun. I also joined the incredible yoga classes. Thanks Yamuna and Tyag!

Tomasso is great fun and a skilled helper. We hope he comes back but until then we wish him happy travels!

I had an absolutely lovely time with Frances. We had lots to talk about right away and I learned quite some new things about gardening. It´s a very beautiful place and I was also able to learn about the general life in small town New Zealand. I´d recommend the stay to everyone!

We so enjoyed having Cleo and Stu to stay. They are a really easy going friendly couple and were so easy to host and we really enjoyed chatting with them over meals. They worked really hard - mostly in our garden and did a great job of everything they tackled. A really lovely couple we would highly recommend - we were sorry when they had to leave.

Passei três semanas em Ubatuba e a experiência foi maravilhosa. Agradeço ao Sergio pela sua gentileza, generosidade e hospitalidade. As tarefas foram muito agradáveis e gostei muito de poder ajudá-lo com os seus projetos. Já sinto saudades de Ubatuba e espero voltar em breve! Muito obrigada por tudo, de coração! Beijos

I stayed with Deborah, Andy and Airt (and their dog Toa) for just over a week. I enjoyed getting stuck into the work and Deborah was great at talking me through new tasks such as some of the gardening work. I felt well fed and looked after staying with this lovely family in their beautiful house and had a great time exploring the island with great recommendations from Deborah! Thanks!

Chanti was a great contributor to ongoing projects here on the frog farm. She helped to remove invasive species and pruning. Her efforts have helped us immensely. She also cooked us delicious vegan dinners every night using just the ingredients we had on hand. No recipes. We will miss her and wish her luck in her future adventures.
