Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Pija worked with us this season and was originally meant to stay from April to July, but since everything went so well, she ended up staying with us until the end of August. She was engaged, reliable, hardworking, and wonderfully uncomplicated in her way of working. A fast learner, she quickly picked up new tasks and handled them with ease. Her positive character, spontaneous attitude, and constant willingness to help made her a real asset to the team. Her language skills were another big plus—being fluent in Italian, English, and Slovenian (and speaking even more languages) was greatly appreciated by us, the team, and our international guests. Thank you, Pija, for your great work, your attitude, and the energy you brought. It was truly a pleasure to have you with us, and we’re grateful for the extra month you chose to spend here! Hope to see you soon again :)

I stayed at Leyilah‘s place very spontaneously for 2 weeks and my time there was so great, that in the end I wished I could have stayed longer. Leyilah is one of the kindest persons in the world. She welcomed me with such a warmth and empathic attitude, that I instantly felt comfortable around her. It really means a lot to her that everyone is feeling good and does not forget to take breaks between working. The work at her place does not feel like real work, because there is always a great atmosphere and you are welcome to say if you don’t feel comfortable doing a task. I had great conversations with Leyilah, Michael, Momo and her dad. They all include you in their family life and you get to feel like you are part of the family. They showed me typical danish dishes and offered me to come with them to other cities around Skanderborg. In my time there, we prepared for Momos big birthday party. Momo is a really unique girl with such a good spirit and always in a good mood. It is so much fun to be around her. Overall everyone at Leyilah’s place is easy to interact with and fun & happiness are always priority.

Amazing person. Very nice coversations.very hard efficient worker. Thank you so much for all you have done for me.

Thomas, Rikke and their family were the most lovely people. They welcomed us warmly and taught us a lot about Danish culture and were very interested about our own. They naturally shared their lifestyle with us, cooked wonderful meals (like delicious pizzas on Friday) and were very patient when it came to explain each task we had to do! We had plenty of time to discover and explore the island which was very calm and unique with stunning landscapes and sheeps. We even got to learn how to bike properly! Thanks for that, we now have a pro rider in the team. We will forever remember the burst of laughters we had, and we'd be carrying these memories on with us all the way back home. We are so grateful to have shared one month and a half in your company and we send a lot of love to everyone; Ophelia, Bodil, Karen, Anker, Edith, Sofus, Karl, Alma, Rikke & Thomas ♡ Merlin & Aaron.

I had the incredible and unique opportunity of joining this organization's new river cleaning project for a month near the end of September, and I'm so happy I did it. I joined kind of last minute (the project had begun two weeks earlier) and being the last person in the crew to show up, I was nervous about fitting in. But I couldn't have gotten luckier! I ended up being a part of a really cool, international 6-person crew (including our wonderful team leader Kaja! You would never guess it's her first time leading a project), and together we would fill our days hiking to pick up trash alongside rivers, cooking, having family-style dinners, exploring the fjords on a day off, playing music by the fireplace, watching the northern lights, a spontaneous IKEA trip, drawing each other, movie nights, playing card games, going on a spiritual pilgrimage to see a certain monument (hehe), dancing and singing together...I could go on forever! It was a month of hard work and perpetually cold, wet feet, but being a part of this crew was the absolute best. It felt really good to participate in such a meaningful project, and getting to see how much trash we were able to pick up in such a short amount of time never failed to inspire me. It was a lot more hiking than canoeing which I was originally disappointed about, but hiking along the rivers in random terrain also had its exciting moments. We got to see beautiful mossy forests, rushing rivers, and after wrapping up our cleaning ahead of schedule (woohoo!), we got to take a few trips boating on the ocean, and clean up around some of the coastlines and little islands out there. You'll get stronger for sure from joining this project, see some rocks that look misleadingly similar to the back of a whale, and smell some things you'll wish you could unsmell. Nevertheless, I will always be grateful for this experience and the people I met here.

Judith stayed with me for a month in June, at the busiest time of the gardening season when the sun never set. She delved into all the tasks with great enthusiasm, diligence and patience, wether it was sowing seeds, planting out seedlings in my veg bed, tiresome weeding of horror couch weeds or moving huge boulders to my new rockery! She emersed herself in the wild landscape and used any moment to take a dip in the ocean or go for a walk in the mountains. Judith also turned out to have a great talent for making mosaic! Her designs for my greenhouse floor were fabulous. She is a joy to be around with a good sense of humour and a contagious laughter and she is a great cook and animal lover. The chickens have never laid as many eggs as in her attentive care! For any future hosts I would warmly recommend having Judith as a guest.

Ich war zwei Monate in Iquitos und habe die Zeit dort sehr genossen. Gerade die Hostfamiliy macht dieses Workaway ganz besonders und ist absolut zu empfehlen. Tauche ein in die Kultur Amazoniens und lerne Land und Leute kennen. Die kids, mit denen die NGO arbeitet sind zucker und einfach liebenswert. Insgesamt eine tolle Erfahrung!

I had an amazing experience staying at Eva's workaway. She's an incredibly kind and thoughtful person who went through a lot of effot to make sure my stay was comfortable, doing everything from providing home cooked meals after work to taking me out to dinner in a local Spanish restaurant. During my stay the work invloved was mostly digging a trench for rainwater to flow through, leveling some ground, clearing weeds and cleaning up after the horses. There was lots to do but it was never difficult and it was a great way to see what life is like on a rural Spanish ranch. The accommodation is a small house and staying there has probably been the most comfortable I've been in months! Eva keeps the kitchen fully stocked so you always have food, theres a gas heater you can use if you start to feel cold and between the reclining chairs and warm double bed its never difficult to unwind and relax after a days work. All in all it was an incredible experience andthere isn't a single thing I would change!

I could spend two weeks with Nico and had a great time. I learned a lot about permaculture, learned about new fruits and vegetables, and really enjoyed working in the garden. Most of all, I have really good memories of the food, which was all local and always fresh from the garden. Thank you so much, Nico, for letting me stay with you :)

Angela worked here for the whole summer, and it was amazing to have her! She shown us to be very reliable and precise in the work, even in stressfull situations. In a kitchen that was full of men, she managed to make things more organized, which helped us a lot. She always comes with a new fresh look on things, and new ideas. Apart from the work she is really easy going. Always up for stuff to do with other people and having a good time together. Her boyfriend Szilard didn't work here, but we have met him multiple times. He is also a very easy going person and I think they would be a very nice addition to the team in countless other workaway opportunities!

Staying with Isabelle was delightful, she's a great host and really easy to get along with. I spent a month there, and during that time I helped with various projects such as building an art studio, gardening, house work, and preparing the house for a party. She's really easy to work with, I found all the work really enjoyable and engaging, and she was also very understanding when I had personal issues which occasionally affected the day's work. I had my own space upstairs in the house, which was really nice to chill out in (when I wasn't out climbing in the forest!). We also spent a lot of time together outside of work hours; we'd have meals together and watch movies in the evening, or just sit and chat over a cup of coffee or a beer, which was really nice. By the end of my stay, Isabelle felt much more like a good friend than simply a host. I would absolutely recommend staying with her to anyone visiting the area, I couldn't have asked for anything better.

The experience was great, I loved to stay in the land in the middle of the nature and I had a great connection with Daniel. He is a good man with a lot of experience and interesting stories and is very open to teach you all the kind of stuff. I also appreciate that trought him and Amy I could knew a lot of local people and enter in the community of Zipolite. Special mention also to the dog Coco!

This place is a true paradise with a super wise host on the top. The accomodation is out of this world, it feels stright away that somebody spent months thinking how to build before touched anthing. Outstanding communication, I shall be back !

We were very much relying on this couple showing up and felt very let down especially as it was supposedly our first Workaway help with our harvest. I expressed my sincere worry not to have heard from them and still received no reply.

Timea was truly a joy to have with us. Our students connected with her right away and they always looked forward to her classes. You could tell they felt comfortable around her , they laughed, learned, and had a really good time. We’re really grateful for the time she shared with us and the memories she left behind.Timea had such a great vibe from day one. She fit in so easily that it felt like she’d been part of the team for much longer. Something we appreciated a lot is how much she genuinely loves Mexico and our culture. Anyone who gets to work with her will feel the same. We hope she keeps enjoying Mexico… and we genuinely hope to see her back again soon.

Mateo has been a perfect helper, accepting and executing each task perfectly. He has a sense of precision and exactitude that has been very precious when we started to build some shelves in wood. He is a reliable person with a great commitment to the work and he has been doing often more time than he owes. I highly recommend Mateo for anyone who needs real help.

We are so grateful to had Sophie in our team. She was energetic, easy going and always willing to learn and help. We made lots of memories together. Sophie is a good English teacher and she was very friendly among all people around. Also we did cooking together most of the days and the food was delicious. She helped on our project a lot. No enough words to explain the progress she made. Thanks a lot for everything. You are welcome here in our family at anytime. See you soon sissy. 🤞☮️❤️

En un mundo desigual, la fundación es una joya para la comunidad. Estoy agradecido de haber podido hacer una pequeña contribución. Prepárense: este no es un lugar de vacaciones. Van a recibir mucho a cambio, incluso amigos para toda la vida. ¡Y Martín es invaluable! Su dedicación a este lugar y el cuidado que brinda a los voluntarios merecen todo mi respeto.

Daisy and her friend Florian reached out to me as they were in my area, and I feel so blessed they did. The both have a depth of presence, openness and gentleness which feels healing and nurturing to the soul. They are living their lives through their hearts, with a sense of connection to what feels true in the moment, which is so uplifting and heart warming to be around. They listen openly and talk from a connected and intuitive place, being attentive to their experience in the moment. It is a joy to be around such wise and receptive people, who also carry a lightless and a true sense of adventure and exploration, both outwardly and inwardly. They helped with so many different ways, including caring and tending for some trees, and placing posts to support them (digging in difficult conditions and cementing the posts in), cleaning windows and the terraces, weeding, helping tidy and organise things, cooking meals, caring for the pool and the list goes on. They embraced each task with enthusiasm, attention to detail, independence and a sense of fun. It was so easy to delegate tasks and trust all was in good hands. Their communication is superb, and plans unfolded between us smoothly. What started as what I thought might be a short stay, effortlessly turned into two weeks. Florian had his dog Lucky with him, who made himself at home in a relaxed and easy way. He added to the joy and love in the house. I feel that I have been deeply enriched by the experiencing of being with Daisy and Florian. Their presence, care, generosity of spirit, sense of gratitude, emotional intelligence and wisdom flowed into me over their stay, and I feel I have learnt much from their outlooks and way of being. Their desire to be helpful and contribute is very special. They have kindness and love flowing out of them in abundance. Thank you so much for the special experience of your stay.
