Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Oh Enrico! What a powerhouse! Enrico is never less than 110% hahaha, to have him in your project is suuuuch a plus and benefit!He is 110% commited, super excited and if you need some heavy labor to be done, Enrico is right there! He is so positive and sweet and smart...another one of our volunteers we were sad to see leave. Unfortunately, it always feels we didnt spend enough time together (running the two farms currently brings some challenges). But hopefully some day he ll come back to visit us and we ll exchange more ideas! Thank you Enrico for all your efforts! We really appreciated you and your enthusiasm!!! Safe travels!!

Staying with Zaki and his family was honestly one of the easiest and most comfortable experiences I have had while traveling. From day one, Zaki kept telling us to eat eat, and Yati’s cooking was unreal. It was the best food I have had in Malaysia, and I definitely ate more than planned haha. They were welcoming, relaxed, and made everything feel natural and comfortable from the moment I arrived. I also got to ride Zaki’s bike out to his farm where we picked fresh durians, and the off-roading experience made it even better. I met a few local Malay guys who were super friendly and easy to talk to, and hanging out with them felt natural right away. Overall, Zaki was generous, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. I am grateful for everything and I truly recommend staying here. I will definitely come back.

Volunteering here was genuinely one of the most wholesome and joy-filled experiences I have ever had. The community is honestly one of the best I have ever been part of and everyone, from the staff to the people who live there, makes you feel instantly welcomed, accepted and loved. I worked on CRM tasks, metrics for the school and held workshops with the Mamas who are the cutest and sweetest women you will ever meet haha. The management gave me full freedom to operate the projects my way, which made the work incredibly fulfilling. Watching the Mamas pick up new skills with so much excitement was honestly the highlight of my time. :) I also met so many wonderful people in the Laboma community who made each day brighter and gave me cultural experiences that felt completely genuine and unforgettable. The volunteers and I somehow turned every week into a fun little adventure as we planned trips together that always ended in plenty of laughs and inside jokes haha. A huge shoutout to Mama Jesca whose food deserves its own award and whose affection made her my mum away from home. Even during Tanzania’s political crisis the management supported us, kept us safe and helped us navigate travel plans with so much care. I recommend this place with my whole heart and honestly, words cannot describe this experience.

This was my first Workaway experience and it could not have been a better adventure. The owners/hosts (Naat & Bas) are kind, ambitious, caring and proud people, rightfully so. My initial plan was to stay for the peak-summer season but I ended up staying until early November, it was one of the best decisions I've made this year! Staying here you can expect a mix of regular work, amazing views of the Ardennes, community and great relationships with the owners, other workawayers and the locals who work. If you are prepared to work hard, have fun, have time for yourself and build connections with others; this is the place for you. Naat & Bas, thank you once again for all you've done, you have really built something amazing for the guests and the staff, you should be proud! Hope to see you both again.

Gernot and Grit stayed with us for 6 weeks during autumn and helped us enormously to catch up with the garden work and some construction projects. They are respectful and courteous guests who we really enjoyed having here. Gernot and I worked together on extending two roofs, building a blockwork storage shed, improving a concrete path and excavating a plunge pool. He was always positive, had good suggestions and worked hard. He has good tools skills and understands how to plan and execute a project competently. Grit worked mainly alone in the garden, taking cuttings, repotting plants, renovating a rockery, planting bushes and succulents and lots of weeding. She is very diligent and thorough and we feel very fortunate that she improved the garden so much in her time with us. Both Gernot and Grit are mature and self reliant whilst still being open, positive and friendly. We had good conversations and feel that we became friends. I hope we see them again.

I had a very nice stay with Erlend and Emilia. I was at their farm for 12 days and had a lot of fun with the tasks, that I was doing. They are very friendly and respectful and we had a great time together. I worked togehter with Erlend a lot, which was very funny and effective while Emilia kept the good mood with her delicious food and heart warming character. I wish them all the best and I hope that we will se again in the future :)

It was a really excellent experiece at Héloïses place: the flat is nice, airy, clean, fair and has a wonderful view in the beautiful big common gardens and further. It’s situated ideally: quiet and everything in town is within walking distance. Dol is just beautiful. We had a good time deepening her already good German, did some walks along that stunning coast, enjoyed nice games at the table but also we had interesting talks. Héloïse is a wonderful person, very sensitive and absolutely trustful. She cares great for the two lovely (and lucky) girls Keila and Azra. Thank you - hope to see you back in my town.

Alex and Jolina were great helpers. They were very responsible and had a lot of knowledge and skill handling all the horses, from the older ones to the foals. Both women are very competent riders. They were enthusiastic for all the tasks I asked of them, and followed directions as well as working independently and were able to work on their own without supervision. They kept the accommodation very clean and tidy and I would recommend them to any other hosts. Hopefully they will come back and see all the horses again!

Rona joined us for nearly two weeks and in this time she helped us with the olives harvest (in which she clearly had already experience!), planting veggies in our wicking beds, planting in our syntropic lines, cobbing the walls of our toolshed and sorting enormous amount of olive branches to be shredded. doesn't matter the task she has: she will do it meticulously, independently and in an efficient way! We are so happy for all her help, and for the cultural exchange we had too: we really recommend you to let her cook 'cause she is very good in it! Thank you Rona! We wish you an amazing experience in New Zealand! ❤️

The only advice I can give you: Do it! Go to Spain and visit this beautiful community. I just finished my stay and the other reviews weren't lying: I am absolutely mesmerised and wanting to go back there very soon. If you are looking for positivity, growth, community and good food I 100% recommend for you to go there because there are no words to describe this one of a kind, magical and healing place. I am so so grateful and feel so fortunate to have had the chance to experience it and meet the extraordinary and loving people there. Thank you Raul and everybody else there💓💫

Nic … incredible person , he was our father in the farm , sweet heart man who loved us like sons and daughters, we was like a family in the farm . There is balance between work , seriousness and having fun and spending great time , the place of the farm is in the woods and mountains which stolen my heart … 10/10 ❤️

Louisa and Ytai are a super sweet couple raising a family, plus trying to live of the land. They made me feel very welcome in their home and made some good memories. They're doing a lot of cool things - tanning hides, raising cattle, planting a food Forrest and much more. It's a great place to learn!! much love to these guys

Von Beginn an fühlten wir uns sehr wohl und willkommen bei Dominic und Corinne, aber auch Hercules, TT und der restlichen tierischen Familie. Die Unterkunft, ein gut ausgestattetes Höhlenhaus, ist ein Ort mit besonderer Atmosphäre. Historie, absolute Ruhe und Geborgenheit, kombiniert mit den Annehmlichkeiten einer modernen Wohnung. Dominic ist ein angenehmer und zuverlässiger Mitmensch. Er erklärte sämtliche zu erledigende Tätigkeiten in seiner ruhigen Art und führte diese gemeinsam mit uns aus oder er vertraue auf unsere Selbstständigkeit und Kreativität. So hatten wir über die Wochen, welche wir in der ländlichen Ruhe vor den Toren von Castilléjar verbrachten, viel Freude, gute Gespräche und erwarben neue Fertigkeiten. Auch die gelegentlichen gemeinsamen Mahlzeiten mit Corinne und Dominic taten uns gut. Hier hat es uns wirklich gut gefallen!

I had a very positive experience at this hostel — the owners are genuinely kind, helpful, and always approachable. The location is super central, so it’s easy to get anywhere quickly — perfect for exploring the city without hassle. The tasks were straightforward and quick to complete; the routines were clear, the teamwork was pleasant, and there was plenty of time left to enjoy the surroundings. Overall, a smooth Workaway that I’m happy to recommend — many thanks to Sook Min and Albert for the warm welcome and good organization.

The name of the place is meant quite literally here — a place that truly lives up to its promise. I had an exceptionally good experience at this Ayurveda clinic — the treatment was outstanding, and from day one I felt truly welcome and very well cared for. Despite its size — over 100 staff — it feels like a family: attentive, warm, and always ready to help. You’re invited to take part in everything the clinic offers and get fascinating insights into Ayurveda routines — learning something new every day. The atmosphere is wonderfully structured yet deeply human; you quite literally live like a king — which makes you want to give your very best in return. Organization, communication, and care were exemplary throughout; questions were taken seriously, processes explained transparently, and there was space to really arrive and settle in. You couldn’t wish for a better Workaway — heartfelt thanks to Marcel, Chaya and the entire team for this inspiring and lasting experience.

Having Justin with us was an absolutely wonderful and heartwarming experience. He became part of the family from day one. He took great care of our kids , they adored him , cooked delicious meals, the pumpkin pie nd soup were, delicious;helped out in the garden, and gave us a hand with some DIY jobs around the finca He was always kind, respectful. We loved the shared moments, the intresting conversations and the house already feels a bit emptier without him here. We really hope to see him again in the future. We can recommend Justin wholeheartedly. Thank you for everything!

Lana and Ruby stayed here for two weeks. They were very beautiful and friendly. Ruby made very delicious food, and Lana made tasty guava jam. They always took care of the cows, maintained the house, and even decorated my kitchen. We planted many seeds and plants. We cut grass together, and they learned very quickly. You both helped me so much on my farm. Thank you, Lana and Ruby.

Ollie is a very pleasant and calm man (with great taste in music). During the ten days I stayed with him, he took me to the sea a couple of times and to the Riwaka Resurgence, which was wonderful. He often had interesting things to share and talk about. Since I arrived in spring and most of the trees were already planted, my main task was to go around the property with the weed eater, which I didn't mind at all. I also didn’t have to work long hours each day, which gave me plenty of time to explore the beautiful surroundings. The meditation platform was one of my favorite spots. The two energetic kids were not a disturbance—in fact, they brought a lively energy to the place. However, without having a car, it can feel a bit isolating if you’re not keen on cycling. The room I was given was also very comfortable. The property is close to Abel Tasman, which I visited afterward. All in all, it was a lovely experience and I would definitely recommend it.

I had a truly incredible stay with Tinne and Peter. I was with them for two weeks, and they made me feel right at home, creating such a welcoming and positive environment for me and the other Workawayers. I did a variety of gardening tasks, such as weeding, picking up sticks, and cleaning the goat shed and the chicken coop. There wasn't a boring day, as each one was filled with new experiences, great company, and something fun to do. Their property is breathtaking, and, although the weather wasn't the best, I was still able to go for beautiful walks nearby. They also took us to visit the Chocolaterie and the Healesville Sanctuary, and they hosted a big dinner on our last night with the entire family around a bonfire. I can't put into words how much this experience meant for me, and I will cherish every memory forever. Thank you again for everything!
