Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Leo&Rob are super funny people, was really nice to host them and share time with them. They are respectful and reliable, enjoying the work and the moment together and alone. They even can cook an amazing couscous salad, unforgettable! Good luck guys, I hope to see you again Ps. Does the bear shit in the woods?!

This was my very first workaway experience and I think this will also always be my favourite. I stayed with Nynne and Søren for almost two weeks at the beginning of September. They were super welcoming from the start and they made it really easy to get settled and really feel at home. They are so fun to talk to, energetic, kind, funny. The farm and surroundings are SO beautiful. Waking up each morning with a view of the rolling hills, the forest and the horses grazing in the field was a sight I could easily get used to. There even was the occasional deer around! I loved to end my afternoons with long walks or runs in the forest, there are so many beautiful paths to take. My room was really cozy and just perfect for my stay. I did lots of different things around the house and garden. There was a LOT of weeding to be done, but luckily it was sunny almost every day despite the bad weather predictions, so it hardly felt like a chore. I also harvested beetroots with Søren, cleaned some cabinets, harvested seeds, harvested beans and parsley and prepped them for the freezer. Whatever I did, they always made me feel like my work was appreciated. The whole atmosphere was very relaxing– I never once felt rushed. Every day I could start up properly with a good breakfast, after which I started working, taking a break to eat a delicious lunch. The whole rhythm was perfect to really destress and recharge. And the FOOD! At some point, this WorkAway turned into an EatAway, because the food really was the star of the show! Every single meal I had was simply amazing! From the omelettes in the morning, the sandwiches with egg salad for lunch and all the meals we had for dinner; it was all delicious. Nynne even made me love potatoes! I’m still dreaming about that pasta with chickpeas and kale… just so delicious. I could write a whole review just talking about how much I loved the food. Nynne taught me to make homemade koldskål, which quickly turned into me eating it every single day (but I’m not complaining! It really is the best breakfast/lunch/dinner/dessert food). We also made some cakes together for the freezer (that tasted so good!). I went to Aalborg on a free day. It was a fun and beautiful city to walk around for a few hours, luckily the weather was also really good. The vibes around the house were just amazing and we laughed SO MUCH. Nynne and Søren are both hilariously funny and there was a lot of joking around. Even during our very disappointing bloodmoon hunt the car was filled with laughter. Nynne and Søren, I will think of you often (probably every time I say doei doei) and I miss you guys and the sweet cats so much already!! I hope I will see you guys again and sending you all my love. Doei doei! Jytte

We stayed in Bettinas place for 3 weeks. We did gardening , dog walking and painting. We also met many new people and had good times eating dinner and talking. Good for those who want to see countryside and spend time with animals. The place felt like home. Thank you

Hey there, I had a good time in Dereköy. We talked with Elisa before I came here. She helped me on the way and answered my questions. She is German so if you need to practice you should. Elisa is a very kind and helpful person. She has a clay house tiny but cosy. I preferred to stay in a caravan which is comfortable and relaxing. She has many animal friends, cats and dogs. They come to inside sometimes. We cooked and ate together. I learned German potato salad and soup. Elisa has many projects on land. You can help her in the garden or on the computer some canva work or web design, social media works for human and animal association. We went to see, meet with friends, I even made a Turkish style barbeque. That night was awesome. I think we made Turkish night hehehe. I enjoyed my stay. I hope you also.

Nous sommes restés presque trois semaines chez Julie et sa grande famille. Ce fut un bon moment de déconnexion au milieu de notre périple américain. Le matin, nous avons aidé la famille à des taches variées, au potager avec du tuteurage, nous avons mis une clôture pour les poules, mais aussi à l'intérieur en aidant Julie à continuer à aménager sa grande cuisine... J'ai beaucoup aimé le partage de connaissances autour de la nourriture, ma fille a appris à faire du pain, Julie et sa famille essaye de faire le plus de choses par eux même, c'est super! Julie m'a demandé de lui apprendre à faire de la lessive à la cendre, j'espère qu'elle sera convaincue! Nous avons aussi profité de la belle nature autour de chez eux, la rivière en bas du jardin, le lac Davis, vraiment à deux pas, on peut y aller à pied, c'est à 30 minutes, mais aussi d'autres lacs où nous avons pu faire du kayak, un bon moment de calme. Contrairement à une bonne partie des Etats Unis, ici, on a vraiment du calme; la route n'est pas très passante et les grillons chantent, les rayons de soleil le soir sur la terrasse sont vraiment un moment délicieux. Ce fut une belle expérience pour nos enfants qui ont pu parler anglais et jouer à différents jeux, notamment BS que nous ne connaissions pas. Bref, un bel échange qui encourage à continuer l'aventure Workaway!

It was amazing getting to sail down the coast of Scotland and through a system of lochs. The other crew member, Jami was awesome, and I enjoyed seeing new marinas and seaside towns . The cat litter box was right under our bunks and smelled towards the last few days. I cleaned the kitchen and common space frequently, to keep it neat enough for me to want to use it. Brian did not have much patience for beginner sailors and anyone that needed an instruction demonstrated more than once. He was great at making tacos and had an impressive book collection. Due to a family situation for Brian, our time on the boat lasted only about a week. Maybe when there is not a stressful family emergency going on Brian has more patience and interest in teaching.

Hanna is a kind soul . Her warmth and kindness left a lasting impact. Always patient, helpful, and smiling, she brought joy to everyone around. The children absolutely loved spending time with her, and the teachers admired and enjoyed learning her wonderful face-painting skills. Her presence was truly cherished by all and loddoo (our Golden Retriever ) actually want to go with her on adventure . Hope to meet her again in future to admire her art . Leena & Jawahar

I Claire had the pleasure of meeting this young lady for about a week or so before I had to return unexpectedly to attend to family matters. In the short time we spent together, my first impressions were wonderful — she is kind, gentle, and always carried out her tasks with a huge smile and great enthusiasm. After I left, she was a tremendous help to my husband, assisting with garden work and preparing the pool for the summer. She was, and continued to be, a great support. I also know that my husband enjoyed spending time with her — both during the day while working and in the evenings, sharing good meals and conversation together , he enjoyed overmuch too ! Although I am sorry I couldn’t be around more, I am very grateful for the time we did share. She is a lovely young lady, and I thank her for the memories.

Really enjoyed my time here, stayed for three weeks and loved every second. Fantastic experience, great people, great vibe, great everything.

The family were very welcoming and communication was easy. I cooked meals everyday. It was easy to travel around Luxembourg using the free bus. Thank you for hosting me and good luck with your project.

I could not be more grateful and lucky for this to have been my first Workaway experience! I spent a month at Arne's place and what I read in his profile description and previous Workawayers' reviews is not only true but it also greatly exceeds any expectations. Him and his family are truly some of the most kind, welcoming and hospitable people that I've ever met, and I am looking back at my time there with nothing but fond memories. There were jacuzzi chats, berry picking trips in the mountains, fishing in the lake, dinners with his extended family, beautiful hikes, and he was also kind enough to let me borrow his car for a roadtrip to the Lofoten Islands. To top it all off, I even managed to see the Northern Lights on my last night before I left, which felt like the most magical ending to this amazing month there ✨ The work was varried and I surprised myself at how much I was actually able to help with, which is largely thanks to Arne's patience with giving directions and his great attention to detail. We had a few more intense days during my first week there as we were working hard to remove the old shingle roof for the new one to be placed but it was equally fun as it was a team effort, and he made sure that we had the time back during the following weeks. We also helped putting up scaffolding and appling concrete on insulation - all things that I would not have ever imagined doing before! Thank you so much for welcoming me in your home and sharing your knowledge (and kind of okay sense of humour 😉), Arne! I made memories that I will cherish for life, and I hope that we will cross paths again, whether that is back in Norway or somewhere else around the globe ☺️

We had an amazing time with Henrik and Jen! They made us feel part of their family right from the start. Jen's cooking was amazing. We will never forget her calling out "eat more, eat more" every day. The work (cutting grass, building a veranda, helping out) was really nice to do. The location is beautiful, we took a dip in the lake almost every morning. It was a very pleasant stay and we can recommend this host to anyone!

My stay at Anna’s house with her family was wonderful. The apartment is very cozy, and my room was truly a blessing—I felt so comfortable. The kids are amazing: Artemis and Elio. I have a special memory of each of them that I will treasure forever. With Artemis, I learned to say Kalimera and Elio challenged me with brain teasers. With Ana, I shared beautiful conversations and really enjoyed getting to know her thoughts, reflections, and outlook on life. I loved spending time with her. Nikos cooked for the whole family on some of the nights we shared together. It was a beautiful family time. I wish them all the best and encourage other Workaway travelers to experience something as wonderful as I did.

my experience was amazing! and I recommend this hostel for anyone! Richard is the best host, very kind friendly and accommodating for both guests and voulenteers. The Hostel is located in the best part of the old city and it's very easy for transportation. I hope to come back one day!

Staying with Marco and Nadine has been a real blessing. They cared about my comfort during the stay and taught me many practical things. They are great listeners and very patient with German non-speakers, making conversations with them a true pleasure. I really enjoyed seeing their project, Bogen & Du, grow and expand every single day, and it felt rewarding to contribute even a little during my two weeks. The house has a wonderful vibe, full of energy and positive people.

My stay at Edith's beautiful estate in Umbria was a true delight that I will carry in my heart forever. The place is ten times more beautiful than in the photos. The sunlight, peace, and views are beyond words. Edith herself is an inspiration in many ways, and the friends she introduced me to were kind, funny, and intelligent. We shared everything and enjoyed life together with great respect for one another. I would recommend Edith’s estate to anyone who can appreciate the magic she has created in Umbria. Staying with Edith is about celebrating a lovely and meaningful life. I truly hope life will bring us together again.

Krisztina is a very generous and lovely host with a big heart. She took good care of us when we weren't feeling so well and cooked delicious dinners every night! We enjoyed the evenings playing card games and having interesting conversations with her. Krisztina is very funny and an excellent storyteller. We were able to take the four dogs on amazing walks with breathtaking views! We are very thankful for everything! It was a wonderful stay and we leave with beautiful memories and fuller hearts.

Our stay in Andalusia was wonderful. From the very first moment we felt welcome. The house has such a peaceful and cozy atmosphere that you feel at home right away. A real highlight was Conan. He is such a sweet, clever and cuddly dog! We loved spending time with him and we will miss him a lot. The work was fair, varied and enjoyable. Eva is a warm and open host who puts a lot of trust in you, which makes working together very pleasant. We're really grateful for the time we had here and can fully recommend the stay!

Asia, Lucia (and Luisella) have been with us in August 2025, and it was a blast! The three girls managed all the tasks we threw at them, always smiling and having fun with it. At our place, workawayers are working quite independently and they took this responsibility very well. Always on time and not cutting any corners. We would love to see the girls back for another week; it gave us a lot of joy to have them around!

I couldn’t have found a better host or better scenery! It truly was breathtaking. Peter and Luna, thank you so much for welcoming me into your home. I had the BEST time and was made to feel so comfortable and like a member of the family straight away. Thank you so much for all the INCREDIBLE meals, chats and good times. Luna, thank you for introducing me to Scandal and having late-night watch parties with me! I had such a wonderful time with my other WorkAwayers too and have made some great friends. I’m so sad to leave but so glad it happened and I hope to be back again in the not-too-far future.
