Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

My stay with Lauren and her family was just lovely. I stayed for six weeks and was immediately welcomed into the family. I loved spending time with the girls , other workaways and the animals. I wish the family a great future and will always remember my time there.

Mara was a sweet girl that stayed with us for six weeks. She was really great with woodwork and clad our duck coop and built stalls for our goats. We wish her all the best for her ongoing endeavours!

C'était le début de notre voyage en Argentine et notre tout premier Workaway. Nous sommes très heureux et reconnaissants d'avoir vécu cette expérience à la Fondation. C'est un lieu paisible, vivant, joyeux et foisonnant de belles idées pour accompagner les personnes accueillies. Le responsable, Martín, est d'une grande générosité et a le sens du partage. Il fait tout pour nous mettre à l'aise et est toujours prêt à aider. Les principales tâches consistent à s'occuper du jardin, à aider en cuisine et à fabriquer diverses choses pour les projets en cours. Nous sommes aussi libres de proposer des projets si on le souhaite. C'est un lieu où s'expérimente l'intelligence collective. Il ne faut pas hésiter à s'organiser ensemble, à communiquer, à s'entraider et à être force de proposition. La Fondation est un bel exemple de vivre ensemble et de solidarité dans laquelle nous avons fait des rencontres incroyables. Encore un grand merci à Martín et à la Fondation pour nous avoir permis de mieux comprendre la culture argentine et de vivre une aventure humaine inédite.

We loved welcoming Val, Jack and Luna to our home. From our first interaction their communication was excellent, and we appreciated them reaching out for a meet and greet. Their energy and enthusiasm for helping out around our home was wonderful and they made a really valuable contribution. More than anything we appreciated their ease and kindness in all aspects of interaction with our family and fur babies. It was a pleasure to host them and we look forward to welcoming them again.

J'ai été très bien accueilli chez Brigitte et sa famille. Ils cuisinent très bien, ont été flexible et bienveillant. Ils ont partagé leurs expériences de voyages et de vanlife, c'était vraiment enrichissant. Je recommande de les rencontrer et de les soutenir!

I spent an amazing month with Stephanie who is an incredibly kind, strong and wise person. The volunteer’s cabin is super cozy and comfortable and she always makes sure you’re well stocked with food!! I learned a lot from Stephanie and loved sharing dinners with her and my fellow volunteer. It was really an unforgettable experience and the ranch and surroundings are beautiful - San Cristobal is accessible and lovely to visit on weekends, but you’re very much out in the countryside, so it’s an amazing place to disconnect. The expectations are very clear and fair, and I really appreciated the level of trust Stephanie put in us to go out riding or look after the ranch when she had to go to town etc. I highly recommend this Workaway to any horse/animal lovers.

Pariikshit was a wonderful addition to our home. He completed all the tasks we asked with enthusiasm and thoroughness. He was delightful young who asked insightful and thoughtful questions which always made meal time enjoyable. We would recommend him to any future host and would welcome him back to our home any time.

Steven spent the last month in our hostel as a volunteer, and he was a huge help with every task we asked of him. What’s more he often took initiative on his own. He was always friendly, kind, fun, and got along great with volunteers, guests, and staff. He was constantly willing to help, spend good time with us, and share ideas on how we could improve our place. We couldn’t recommend him more to other hosts! We hope to see him again soon - he will always be welcome here as part of our family<3

Elisabeth is the most welcoming, warm, generous, considerate host you can imagine, and you can say the same thing about her pup Luomi! Her home away from home on the lake in Lapland is at the same time cozy and stunning, peaceful and wild. Elisabeth is very clear about the tasks she's hoping to accomplish and making sure you're equipped to do them, but even more than that she's excited about sharing the nature and culture of the region with her guests. Her love for Lapland is contagious. Staying with Elisabeth you will truly have an all-around wonderful experience.

We stayed with Alexa and Holger for a month, and it was one of our favourite workaway experiences ever!! They are both so funny, caring and genuinely really lovely people. They take care of their workawayers, offering a real cultural exchange and a family environment. Our daily tasks included creating a compost, tearing down wallpaper, organising sheds and basements, cutting wood and raking leaves. Their property is beautiful and surrounded by lovely nature making outside work very pleasant! We also made new best friends - their dog, Willem, and their cat, Lotta, who we miss already. We would highly recommend Alexa and Holger to anyone who values a quality cultural exchange and lots of laughter. Thank you so much to Alexa and Holger for being the best hosts and our forever friends! Savannah and Mahina

I had a great time staying with Allison and Scott! The work in the garden was light and they never run out of patience explaining everything, you could really sense their passion about gardening. Allison took me to her yoga lessons and Scott made sure to guarantee New Zealand experiences, even moving an excavator. I also got to come along to some gatherings with their lovely friends, who always made me feel welcome, so I can really recommend this place for anyone looking for a rural New Zealand experience and who wants to hear storys from all over the world . The pretty cool boat workawayers stay in is a wonderful contrast to the busy hostel life and has space to cook and relax during the day. All in all a good first workaway experience, thank you:)

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting Maya and Jake They are completely self-motivated, they designed and built a sturdy bridge with zero supervision, nailed wooden cladding onto the walls of our patio deck, built a small dam in the stream so our son Harrison has his own pool, cleared and maintained trails, and helped with gardening. They’re confident with all tools like skill saws and weed whackers. They are unfazed by hard work, mud or bugs, and took wonderful care of Harrison whenever needed. With their own truck they happily explored independently on days off but were also happy to join us on family adventures to the beach or the the secret waterfall. They left our place dramatically improved and were so much fun to be around. Maya and Jake, you are welcome back anytime. Any host would be incredibly lucky to have you! Thank you both!

Angel and Eduardo were incredibly kind and friendly. We felt very comfortable from the very beginning. We had plenty of freedom both in the accommodation and at work. Angel and Edu were always right there whenever we needed anything and were able to give us some great tips. We are very grateful for this warm and pleasant encounter and can highly recommend them both!

Had a great stay here! The first weekend was full of activities and people for a festival that was hosted at the center then it slowed down during the week and I had a daily work rhythm. I had the chance to meet lots of wonderful creative people during my stay. Chris and Ken do amazing work cultivating the arts and have many great stories to share!

It was my very first workaway experience. My friend and I stayed with Yeshe and Pascal for three weeks and had very good time. Their place is beautiful, peaceful, and full of character. I especially appreciated the way they care for their animals and plants — it reflects a lifestyle that feels very grounded and inspiring. During our stay we helped with different tasks, mainly gardening and renovating wooden pieces. The work was varied and enjoyable, and we always had the space to do things at a comfortable pace. They also made sure we had plenty of privacy, which we really valued. From time to time we spent moments together — sharing a meal or going to the beach — but overall the rhythm was quite calm and everyone had their own space. I absolutely loved the animals, cats stole my heart, and so did the wonderful dog. Sunset yoga on their terrace and shower in the greenhouse were the highlights or my stay :) Thank you for hosting us — it was a beautiful first Workaway experience!

Freya was our first Workaway guest, and we were very lucky! She's a kind and helpful woman who helped us manage our family, including our 6-year-old son. She helped us improve our English, which she speaks very well. She enthusiastically participated in our weekend activities; she was great company.

Francesca è una persona favolosa, una ragazza educata, pulita, riservata, affidabile ed un'ottima cuoca, sono stata veramente fortunata ad averla ospitata. È affidabile e gentile, si è presa cura dei miei gatti e del cane con tanto affetto, ci mancherà moltissimo.

Diana and Nathaniel are nice people, I enjoyed staying at their farm because the working conditions were great and the weather was good. What I especially appreciate about Nathaniel and Diana is their willingness to teach, I especially remember the mulching lesson, the worming lesson and the swaleing lesson. There are things to do around, for example the pizza party at fridays, or walking around in the beautiful hills next to the beach. I also appriciate Nathaniel and Diana's effort to find more things to do, for example surfskating on wednesdays, yoga on thursdays or the communal lunch. Besides this I also had the amazing opportunity to go to the chestnuts festival and the sweet potato festival. You will most likely be living in a caravan. Which was fine for me, and you have a communal kitchen which you share with other Workawayers. The kitchen has plastic walls so it can get a little cold. But that's fine if you cook during the day or light a fire. You have everything you need in there. The only thing I was missing was an oven. :) Thank you very much for this stay. All the best /Max

Bo is a wonderful, kind and cheerful person who cares a lot about the people close to him. He felt like a natural part of the family really quickly. Our teenage sons loved playing board games with him and we all enjoyed the korean food he cooked for us. Studying German was a thing he took really seriously, and we all liked helping him with it! Bitte besuche uns bald wieder! :-) Alles Gute!

Je devais rester deux semaines puis je suis finalement rester deux mois. C’etait une incroyable experience à Tioughza dans l’association qui est source de projets inspirants, encadrés par de supers membres qui seront tous vous faire sentir comme chez vous. On es libre de proposer tous pleins d’activités et de les mettre en place avec les enfants. L’association est vraiment une place ouverte, accueillante, un mixte de cultures et d'histoires partagées ! Je te conseille à 100% cette experience dans l’association, tu ne regretteras pas ! (tu joueras aussi aux échecs avec probablement les meilleurs joueurs du Maroc ^^) Merci pour tout ! :)
