Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

The Lodge and the small team is really amazing! I had a great time here. I was 6 weeks in winter in the hotel. I learned how to clean rooms, helping in the kitchen, serv delisous meals, making fire, snow moving, wood cutting and a lot more things... Manon from french is the main cook, you can learn a lot from her. There are two friendly dogs. You have your own room and privat space. You have to work 4 hours, its not hard and stressful. The food is frech and delisouse. When you need something from town, let the staff know, they are actually every 3 days in Whitehorse. For me one of my favorit time in canada! Thanks a lot

Shannon is a delightful young woman who is easy going and has a positive, gentle nature. It was a pleasure to get to know her and share my home and some of my workload with her. She fitted in seamlessly with me and my housemate Ann and was good company and a good worker. I am happy to recommend her and wish her well.

Antonia & Tim are such beautiful people. They are warm, friendly, easy going, positive and very good company. I could not have asked for better Workaways to help me in the garden and in my home. They were a pleasure to work with, very respectful and there was not a thing that I asked that they were not happy to do and do well. They understood my instructions and worked without supervision and finished all jobs to a high standard. Most importantly they were great to live with and fitted into my life like old friends. It was truly a pleasure to have made their aquaintance. I highly recommend Antonia & Tim. You could not ask for better people.

Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. It was truly a pleasure having you here in Kaoh Rong and sharing this experience together. Your positive energy, open mindset and willingness to connect with others made a real difference in our community. You quickly became part of the family, and the moments we shared — from daily activities to conversations and laughter — will be remembered fondly. We are grateful for your contribution, your respect for the place and the people, and for the spirit you brought with you. Workaway experiences are special because of people like you, who come with curiosity, kindness and a genuine desire to connect. You will always be welcome back here. We wish you the very best on your journey and hope our paths cross again someday 🌴✨

Thank you Lila, JaySri and Dammy for having me stay in your tasmanian wonderland. Your place brings together amazing people from around the world and it's an honor to become a part of this community even for a short time. I couldn't have imagined a better place for my first workaway and I can not wait to visit Tasmania again and see your dahlia plot in full bloom ❤️ Thank you for all the laughs, karaoke nights and wonderful meals we got to share together ✨️ All the best, Princess Cat Lady

This was such a lovely first workaway experience! Jane is a very welcoming host and a great source of knowledge about New Zealand. I really appreciated our dinner conversations where I learned more about nonviolent communication and plant-based living. The location couldn't be more perfect - I loved going for swims after working and exploring nearby walks on my days off. I would highly recommend staying here :)

Charlotte stayed for a week in January and was a huge help with spring cleaning my home. It feels a great relief to have many tasks completed and I valued her adaptability with different tasks. She is well-travelled and a good communicator, It was good to see her making the most of her free time, walking, swimming , visiting historic sites and taking a trip out in the Bay. All in all I appreciated her stay and wish her all the best with her onward travels and future adventures.

I stayed with Heidi, Wouter, Juppi and Rooney for a little over a week at the end of December and it was really nice! They are amazing people! Every morning I had to care for the goats and would then help with other tasks, depending on what was needed. I only worked in the garden once as it was raining most of the time and mostly looked after the girls, who are so funny and sweet. I also sometimes helped around the house with cleaning and cooking. The Northern Rainforest where they live is very beautiful, and you can go for lovely walks with two giant but super cute dogs. We also went to the pool and the library once and I had the opportunity to explore the little town, which has some really cute little shops. I really enjoyed spending time with them and would definitely recommend it!

Sharon, Vik, Jake, Ella and Euan were such amazing hosts. Sharon gave us use of her amazing airbnb room which was such luxury for us! We were made to feel like part of the family and were so well looked after and cared for. Sharon went out of her way to help us and make our trip in NZ so easy - even picking us up at the end of the Queen Charlotte walk. The work was really enjoyable and we felt super comfortable in all our tasks. Really super big thanks to Sharon and family for giving us such a wonderful experience and looking after us so well! Till next time, Rory and Nini

Thank you for your hospitality for the two weeks I was able to spend with you. Especially spending Christmas with your family David, getting to know your friends, that was great. Great conversations.

I had an unforgettable Workaway experience in Kaoh Rong, Cambodia. A truly paradisiacal place where time seems to slow down and every day brings something special. Beyond the incredible beauty of the island, what made this experience truly unique were the people. I shared amazing moments, laughter, meaningful conversations and daily activities with travelers from all over the world, creating genuine connections that I will carry with me. This Workaway was much more than a work exchange; it was a real life experience. Learning, adapting, collaborating and feeling part of a small community surrounded by nature. Every day was different, filled with crystal-clear sea, breathtaking sunsets and a relaxed, authentic atmosphere. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for more than just a trip: human connections, simplicity, nature and memories that last a lifetime. Kaoh Rong will always have a special place in my heart.

I stayed with Alix, Cameron, Élise and Louis during the first week of December, and it was wonderful! They are such kind and amazing people and the home-cooked meals were delicious! Scotland Island is really beautiful and relaxing, and you'll feel right at home from the moment you arrive. You can explore the island, go to the beaches, and it just feels like a little paradise not that far away from the big city. Since they were in the process of moving, I helped them clean the new house, which I genuinely enjoyed (listening to Triple J while cleaning is a must!) All together, I really, really enjoyed staying with them. There was always something to laugh about, and it was never boring. I will definitely miss them!

Nous avons passé deux semaines super chez Léo et Keyla (et leurs deux petites filles) ! Le cadre est absolument magnifique, les missions étaient intéressantes : jardinage et désherbage principalement, construction d'une marre, confection de savon et d'huile de coco. On a pris beaucoup de plaisir à passer du temps dans la finca, aller se baigner à la rivière après les chaudes matinées de volontariat, se balader dans les alentours,… L’accueil et les moments partagés avec la famille étaient très agréables. Léo est flexible et disponible pour les volontaires, on se sent comme à la maison ! La chambre et les espaces communs sont très confortables. C’est l’endroit parfait pour déconnecter du quotidien et se reconnecter à la nature ! Merci pour tout !!

I’ve spent 3 weeks with Jaypee’s family at the beautiful house Casa Nostra. At first, I asked for 2 weeks but I’ve extended one more week to spend Christmas at Casa. I’ve discovered the tasks only the evening I arrived, and I guess that volunteers go where there is a need, which can depend on the moment. In my case, I had to be available from 9am to 1pm (1 day off per week) to clean the breakfast dishes, change the dorm bedsheets and clean the house’s floor. I was hosted in a 12-bed dorm and breakfast was included, as well as 3 dinners per week : the famous family dinners where all the Casa guests and hosts are reunited to spend the evening together and share a very nice social event, sometimes a karaoke and always good food. After some time, the family surprised me with lovely lunchs which I truly appreciated. Last week was a bit different because another volunteer joined which was really fun. Thank you Jaypee and family for this beautiful experience. It was hard to say goodbye, if I had no plan for New Year’s Eve I would have loved staying more. Just wanted to explain the grades so that there is no misunderstanding - communication : I said I was a veggie but first breakfast they gave me meat - cultural exchange : for me there was no real cultural exchange except for the food (which is totally okay, just don't expect discovering the Lao way of life, the family is from the Philippins) - profile accuracy : the name of the profile is about building the hostel's online profile which is not what I've done

Louisa stayed with me for about three weeks, and was very good company and help around the house, walking the dogs, as well as being a victim for my search-and-rescue dog. She is very easy-going and quickly bonded with all my pets, students (helping to speak German to them) an neighbors. Very much recommended!

What a wonderful family. So peaceful and easy going.the kids were wonderful too. I really enjoyed my stay with them. The work was very satisfying and I also could do things that I liked. The food, vegetarian, was straight from the garden and I really enjoyed that. So many fruits as well Ripe from the trees. They got their milk, yoghurt and cheeses right from the farm across the road. Also Graeme guided me around to wonderful places to do some PR for his Eadible Gardentrail in the North. If you yourself is easy going, like the countryside and want to live in a sustainable way. This is the right address. Thank you for having me.

Eden estuvo hasta hoy en casa. Llegó el 1 de enero. Se adaptó muy bien a la casa, le preparó comidas típicas a mi hija y sacó a pasear a mi perro cada mañana y en la tarde. Fue un placer recibirla en casa. Que tengas linda vida y por muchas "good nigths" 😉 Abrazo gigante!

I am really thankful for the work and help, as well as the joy Johanna brought to my house. We had a good time together, she also fit on perfectly with the other workawayers at the place. Johanna helped with household chrores very thoroughly and self-motivated, as well as taking care of the plants, hiking and running with the dogs and even cleaning up and painting a long neglected room. I can only recommend Johanna to any host, she definitely knows how to get work done and is lovely company.

Flossy es una chica muy colaboradora y amigable. Cocinamos juntos y también fuimos al campo para recojer comida para nuestros cuyes y también ha hacer el riego de nuestra chacra Exitos Flossy!

Andrew is an amazing person and my time on his property was life changing, so serene and beautiful with lots to explore and take in. Andrew and I hit it off right away and have developed quite the friendship, we have even met up in India to spend some time together. He is such a kind and compassionate soul. I plan to go back someday soon to help build more structures and contribute to the paradise he looks after.
