Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Had a great time staying with Camille! Very friendly, happy to help with my French learning and made me feel like part of the family. We mostly did D-I-Y. Painting, sanding and scrapping walls. Some gardening as well which was a joy with the wonderful views around her home. Highly recommend staying with Camille! Great vibes 😁

I spent four weeks during November on this beautiful farm. Magnus was very welcoming from the start and showed me a lot of different works like raking leaves, painting fences, feeding the sheep, pressing apple juice and he even gave me the opportunity to take part in his newest art installation for which I painted a big picture. And driving the Honda was just so much fun! We always had very nice talks during dinner and in front of the cozy fireplace. Magnus is a very open-minded person and always made sure that I felt comfortable in his home. I was working 4-5 hours during the week and had plenty of time to discover the surroundings and went to see Linköping and Stockholm. On other days I could just read & relax a lot. Magnus partner Åsa who visited sometimes is as well a very warm-hearted person and we had a lovely time together. It was my first time doing workaway and I had the most wonderful experience! I highly recommend working on Magnus‘ farm!

Gaelle is a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable person. She is eager to learn and communicates easily with everyone. She has excellent adaptability and a strong work ethic. Gaelle is proactive, athletic, a musician, and brings joy to those around her. Her enthusiasm can sometimes lead her to jump quickly into new things, and she is still developing her ability to stay focused on tasks that require long-term perseverance — but she always approaches it with goodwill and willingness to grow. I highly recommend her.

Eric have been an excellent helper during his stay here for a couple weeks,.. Friendly and helpful with doing sometimes difficult tasks. He has been very helpful in building a separation wall in our attic , also put some isolation and plaster panels, Cleaned up after his job and leave the place spotless. We have had hours of joking and kidding, but also very deep going and serious conversations,.. We wish Eric all the best in the future and special with his upcoming project that soon is going to start,. If you want a reliable helper with a good mood ,please ask Eric !

Je recommande vivement un séjour chez Simone ! Mon expérience a été marquée par une très belle rencontre humaine. Dès le premier jour, j'ai été accueilli avec une grande générosité et j'ai passé des moments de partage précieux et très enrichissants. J'espère avoir pu aider comme il fallait et que mon engagement a été utile. J'ai mis tout mon cœur et mon énergie dans les tâches confiées. C'est une expérience que je souhaite à tout le monde. Une chose est sûre : nous allons rester en contact ! Merci encore pour tout ! (un énorme câlin à Aston (Martine) Aslan et Suki !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Valeria was an exceptional experience for our English club. She delivered her sessions with remarkable professionalism and confidence, showing clear mastery of both language and teaching methods. Her passion for guiding and supporting learners was evident in every activity she led. She integrated effortlessly into the center, leaving a strong and immediate impact. Our students were particularly inspired by her enthusiasm, kindness, and the dynamic atmosphere she created.

It was a pleasure hosting Ria as a volunteer at my center. She was a committed and disciplined teacher who always followed the instructions given by the administration. Calm by nature and very cooperative, she contributed positively to our daily activities. We appreciated her dedication and willingness to help, and we encourage her to continue improving and developing her skills even further. She was a valuable addition to our team, and we are grateful for her efforts..

Our experience during the stay with Hillary was very positive. We were welcomed with respect and had plenty of freedom, including being able to use her car when needed — which is important since the house is a bit remote. The volunteer house is spacious and gave us lots of privacy and comfort. Hilary prepared all the vegetarian meals with great care, and we appreciated that so much. We also connected deeply with Arya and Leo, and loved walking with them at sunrise and sunset. Throughout our stay, we created meaningful memories. We recommend this experience to other volunteers and wish Hilary all the best with her future projects.

My time spent with Najat and her family was genuinely one of the happiest experiences of my life. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, surrounded by vineyards and gorgeous countryside for those who enjoy walking. But also not too far from town or the Mèze lagoon. The house was quite old but not decrepit at all, and plenty warm in the summer. And the swimming pool was a big plus! Primarily whilst I was there I organised the tool shed, as it had become quite a mess over the years. For me this work was amazing as I love organising, but there is a huge selection of work to be done around the grounds. Genuinely anyone and everyone could find something they enjoy to do. The definite highlight of the stay, however, was the people. When I arrived there was lots of family visiting, all of whom were incredibly welcoming. I still talk about the amazing Moroccan food I got to try there! Najat was especially welcoming, always offering to take us out on excursions and she was especially helpful in improving my french. I can't wait to go back one day :)

My words come a little late, because there was so much I wanted to say to you, but today I’ve stopped time for you—to tell you, from the heart, thank you! Thank you for being that angel who came into our lives and filled them with music, laughter, and a warmth we will never forget. There are no words enough to thank you for everything you’ve done for my children. You didn’t just teach them to play the piano with patience and dedication; you gave them something far more precious: your time, your love, and your passion. You’ve been someone very special to them, especially to Trycia—someone who listens to them, guides them, and inspires them to be better every day. Watching them grow with you, seeing that smile on their faces and that spark in their eyes when they play a piece, is a gift I will cherish forever. But your magic didn’t stop at the piano keys. You were there in the little details, in the hugs when they needed them most, in the surprise breakfasts that greeted each morning, in the afternoons and evenings—always with us, through it all. And, of course, in all the support you’ve given us at home, making everything easier, warmer, and full of love. You’re one of those people who leave a mark, who turn the ordinary into something extraordinary. To us, you are part of the family. You’ve been a beacon of light on difficult days and a companion in laughter during the happiest moments. I don’t know how we could have done it without you, and I only hope life returns to you, multiplied, all the good you’ve given us. Wherever you go, you take our affection and admiration with you. May destiny allow us to continue sharing paths—here, you will always have a place in our hearts and in our home. With all my affection and gratitude, Angel

I spent 2 weeks at DLP with a friend of mine in October/November. My friend and I got integrated into the community so naturally, everyone was so welcoming and it has been such a pleasure to get to know these people! DLP is very much on the country side and it was soo relaxing and quiet. We stayed in a beautiful and big wagon, accompanied by some goat-singing. Work-wise everything was so flexible, what you want to do/how much/when is really up to you, this place is constantly being created by the people who live there. My friend and I found our passion in baking a looot of cakes! But also some wood work, cement, painting, etc.... One of my favorite times was also everyone working together for the Schlafstall, with Swiss German punk/rap music in the background, also playing babyfoot in the Kneipe and cuddling the dogs! I have been on quite a few Workaways before but this one really stands out to me in many ways. Merci a nous und bis gleich!

Katja is a skilful lovely person and an amazingly talented artist.

Having Savannah and Mahina with us was an absolute joy from the very first moment. They quickly became part of our household and family, bringing so much laughter, warmth and positivity into our life that the weeks with them felt much too short. They showed tremendous initiative and reliability in every task they took on. Whether creating a new compost area, bravely tackling stubborn wallpaper, organizing our sheds and basement, chopping wood or working outdoors among the trees, Savannah and Mahina approached everything with enthusiasm, care and a great sense of responsibility. They work wonderfully as a team, communicate clearly, and bring a natural sense of order and creativity to every project. Beyond their fantastic help, we especially appreciated the many thoughtful conversations, shared meals, and the relaxed, cheerful spirit they brought into our home. Lotta and especially Willem absolutely adored them — and the feeling was clearly mutual! It was lovely to see how naturally they connected with us, with our animals, and with rural life in general. Savannah and Mahina, it has been a privilege to get to know you and to spend time with you. Thank you for all your help, your humor, and the genuine cultural exchange we shared. You left us with a beautifully organized property and — much more importantly — wonderful memories. Our door will always be open for you, and we would be delighted to welcome you back anytime. Always safe travels! Friends forever!

I enjoyed my time at Caterina's place! The conditions are simple but fair. I had a chance to wake up with sea and volcano Etna view every day, the sunsets and sunrise are amazing here! The location is a very quiet village. There was a terrace where I could have my morning tea with nice view and do some stretching. My main responsibility was to take care of a very friendly dog Hilde, she was sweet and always would bring me her ball to play. I also fed chickens, geese, turtles and one duck. They love greens and vegetables so when you bring then they are very happy! Caterina is very friendly host. She did her best to accommodate me and was always in contact with me. She provided simple instructions and it was easy to understand what is expected. She was also very kind to share with me home eggs and recommendations on local bakeries and places. I would recommend this place for everyone who wants some peace and calm in a traditional sicilian village.

Abraham was very nice and helpfull in our garden/land. he work hard and finished all the tasks we have been asked to him!

Hello workies! Thierry is an amazing person, he took care of us always, super kind, open minded and we really enjoyed our stay here. We spent 2 weeks were we worked with wood, painted around, fixed a table and putted some pipes. We really enjoyed those two weeks and we would love to come back there one day. The house is amazing and the fact that a lot of volunteers worked on that one by one it make it very special and full of good vibes Fitou is also a very nice town, very calm and chill, with mountains and sea close by

Rosemary is a first-class host, warm, pleasant, and always attentive to your needs to improve your stay. The surrounding area is just as lovely as her home; don't hesitate for a moment if you're looking for an enriching and peaceful place surrounded by kind people. Thanks you i wish you the best Rosemary

We had a wonderful experience during our Workaway in Bardo. We were hosted by Selim’s mother, Semia, who welcomed us warmly and cooked us some delicious meals. Selim introduced us to his community, and we loved hosting English conversation circles, going on bike rides, and watching a soccer game at the local coffee shop. One of our main tasks was writing blogs about tourism in Tunisia, which gave us the chance to learn even more about the country’s beautiful culture, history, and landscapes. In our free time we explored the area and were able to experience Tunisia in a very authentic way. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this Workaway to others looking for meaningful cultural exchange and a welcoming local community.

Karen was incredibly kind! She made sure everything went well and always found a solution to any problem. I really appreciated her warm welcome and the way she made sure we were comfortable. Such amazing hospitality and a beautiful experience in a very natural and authentic setting. As for the animals, they were all very cute and lovable, even though Café is still my favorite 😉. A big thank you for this experience — one I will never forget.

Tom, in the days he has been with me, has been a delight to host. He is a gentle, thoughtful, and kind natured young man, big in stature and build, but sensitive and reflective. His physical strength is a great personal asset. He chopped a significant and challenging amount of logs for me, cleaned and polished windows and sills, removed old UV window sealant, and mowed the lawns. He performed all tasks to a high standard, and routinely checked in with me to get feedback on his progress. He was always willing to tackle any task, however challenging or monotonous. I much enjoyed the short time he had with me, wish him the very best for his adventures ahead in New Zealand, and wholeheartedly recommend him.
