Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Mi experiencia con Marie ha sido increible en varios sentidos: desde el lugar, un verdadero paraiso en la tierra, el alojamiento, con vista a 360 grados (por la mañana mi despertador eran los monitos que rodeaban mi cabaña) hasta las conversaciones super interesantes que desde el primer dia tuvimos con Marie y la convivencia con Kashy-bibí 🙂, su hermlso perrito. Creo que siendo un lugar bastante retirado (eso lo hace un paraiso) hay que organizarse con un medio de transporte como una moto o una bicicleta. En el "trabajo" Marie es bastante flexible con los horarios y eso es un plus para persona como yo. Tengo increibles recuerdos! Gracias por todo Marie, feliz año nuevo!

Sarah is very nice, kind, responsible, and always smiling; always calm and willing to help. She cooked some delicious meals for us, and we had a great time dancing, singing, and laughing. She wasn't demanding at all and adapted to our quirks. ;) It was a wonderful experience having her with us.

Tom es el mejor voluntario europeo que puedas conocer y estar. Es práctico, rápido, limpio y muy atento con los huéspedes. Se convirtió en parte de la familia rápidamente. Todos deberíamos tenerlo en nuestros espacios de voluntariado. Lo super recomendamos 🙏

We had 3 nice months with Kasper staying at Goasvale,helping in and around the house.Pruning,and cleaning the garden,repairing leaking water in kitchen,building a extension in the hallway,and cooking delicious meals. Kasper is a very solid, reliable and good guy, highly recommended to have as a guest and friend.five stars!

I spent 3 month in Kasese with Masika and her family.I will probably keep this special experience in my heart forever. I cannot say that it was always easy for me, but it was definitely worth it to push through the tough moments. I quickly learned that the main thing volunteers do is teaching. After trying that for two weeks I realised that I was not very good at it, nor did it bring me much joy. But that wasn’t a problem, since there were always other tasks to do. The teachers were very supportive and a big help, when it came to searching for new little projects around the school. This led to me painting charts for the classrooms, sewing the holes in the kids uniforms (an endless task) or taking the kids on a walk up the school hill, together with other volunteers and teachers. Or maybe just hanging out with Baby class :) My biggest respect to Masika, who is one of the most hard working and dedicated people I have ever met. It’s certain that what ever she does, she does it for the children. I really appreciate Desire for always being up for a good chat and for eating dinner with us ;) My thanks to Yollis and everyone else who provided us with food every day :) To future volunteers: - in this project you have a lot of freedom in what you want to do, so be sure to bring a lot of self initiative with you. - What I missed at home sometimes was a sense of Community. Especially if you come alone, it can get a bit lonely. - It was my fist time in Africa and I experienced a big culture shock. Especially the first two weeks were rough for me. But it got better :) - Food is provided, except breakfast - You will really experience the culture and daily life of Uganda. Whether it is at home or at school or on the way to school. Of course, the longer you stay, the better. Thanks to the kids, they made the time special! All my love to everyone Selma

I had such a beautiful week staying with Davina, Harry, Balian, and Noah. They were so welcoming and did their best to make sure I had a good time. Very quickly it felt like I was not on a Workaway but I was visiting friends. They are beautiful people, I regret only staying on week and I really hope to be back! They live on a really big piece of land that they are looking to transform. It's really a beautiful place and there is a lot of space to explore. For me the work was varied, I was helping with the land a little bit but also cleaned and worked on the guesthouse. Davina and Harry were really chill about this and I'm sure they would help anybody find a job to do that fits them. There is a lot to do!

This was our first experience as volunteers, and what an experience !! We had two main tasks, the first one was to take care of Erika's house in Pai, which is incridibly peaceful and has everything you need. We know she planes to move to another city soon so maybe for you, readers, this part isn't that important. But living in this open house was an amazing experience, especially the location where we felt lost in the mountains and also near to the city !! The second task, last but not least ahah, was to take care of Erika's crew 🤘! And what a crew !!! There was Fish, the shy but lovable dog, 6 cats, and a looot of chickens. We can't even discribe the love we felt for the animals, we miss them since then soo much !! We stayed for 3 weeks in total (divided in two times), but it felt like few days. We don't even consider that we had to "take care" of them because we instantly felt so glad to be with them that we really wanted to spend time with this big family. We can only recommend this experience a 100%, also because Erika is so nice and available all the time. We expect to have photos of the kittens once they'll grow a little bit ahah !! We will never never never forget the time we had here. We felt at home. Thanks again for everything to you Erika for trusting us to take care of your place and the beautiful saouls living there. We are so greatful. With love, Alan & Lili

If you are ever lucky enough to receive a workaway request from these 2, hit accept as fast as you can! Alex completed multiple building projects, big & small, at my guesthouse in Cape Town. He is incredibly skilled, hard-working and has a never-ending infectious laugh which will light up your place. His girlfriend Vic is equally wonderful, always there to help, before you even had a chance to ask. Thanks for everything you legends!

Matt y Linda gracias por venir a ayudarnos en nuestro proyecto. Para nosotros fue un placer recibirlos y ayudar más que nada a Matt con su español. Gracias por ayudarnos a correr nuestro cartel, pulir el piso de la casa de te junto a otros voluntarios y tanta ayuda con nuestra huerta. 😊 Perdón por la conexión a internet, teníamos wifi local, ahora logramos agregar starlink y eso aceleró la conexión. Ojalá hayan disfrutado de los choris argentinos 🤭 Hasta pronto. Ahhh cabe destacar que son chicos con mucha energía y fuerza. Saludos desde Meliquina

Although we originally stayed 5 days in Pai, we ended up spending 5 more days in one of the best locations in Pai, and we truly enjoyed every moment with Sasha and Ying. We were warmly welcomed and treated like family. They invited us several times to amazing BBQs with delicious homemade food, and they generously allowed us to use their home facilities independently, which made our stay extremely comfortable and enjoyable. Sasha is genuinely a very generous, inspiring, and cool person, and Ying is equally kind and welcoming. We really wish we could have stayed longer — there was so much to learn, especially about sustainable living and gardening. We are very grateful for this experience and highly recommend staying with Sasha & Ying. Warm regards, Mammad & Raz

Where do I start? The sweetest, kindest family 🥹💜 I felt so honoured to live and work with these lovely people for two weeks. I worked mostly for Jen’s daughter’s family (Emma, Heath and their two boys, who were an absolute joy to be around) I worked on a variety of jobs from sanding, painting, weeding and mulching. Emma was super flexible on working hours which meant I could split my day or have the morning or afternoon off to explore. I loved joining the family for evening meals and playing uno with the two boys. The eco village is the perfect location for visiting all the beautiful local beaches by car. I was sad to leave this special family for my next adventure but I hope to see them all again one day ✨ Thank you Jen for having me and for treating me so kindly xxx

Staying with Jamal and his family is a heartwarming experience. This family is simply beautiful, they welcome you and include you like you are really one of them. I felt home instantly, and had the luck to spend 3 weeks with them. I do recommend to any future volunteers to stay more than a week if possible, to have enough time to get to know each other, and spend many cozy days together. As a true Moroccan family, I was treated with great respect and care, their hospitality is beyond words. All I had to do was helping with cooking and practise English with them, in exchange for learning Darija, feeding me with amazing food, taking me to local places. It was the most autentic experience you can get from a Moroccan family:) Dear Amira, his daughter is a sweetheart, Mouad is Mr funny, and Jamal is a very smart man, who is raising his beautiful kids very well. Shukran bzaf, I will visit you again as soon ad I can!:)

My friend and I stayed with Marie and David for one week and had a great experience. From the very beginning, we felt very welcome. Marie took great care of us and was always attentive, kind, and thoughtful. David’s sense of humour made our stay even more enjoyable and created a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. We really enjoyed our time there and had a pleasant and enriching week. Thank you, Marie and David, for your warmth and hospitality.

An absolutely fantastic WWOOFing experience, a wonderful and very welcoming couple. Varied and interesting tasks! We won't forget this week-long WWOOFing adventure!

My Workaway with Inger and Vinjar was beyond all my expectations. It actually didn't feel as a work, because I fastly felt like a member of the family. I worked in the garden, with the animals and in the house. But we also had a lot of fun together going to concerts, sauna, markets, ... I really experienced here an other lifestyle that I didn't expect. The house is warm and cosy, surrounded by wonderful and peacefull nature. The guest house is very comfortable too. Two months felt like two weeks, I wish I could stay more. Inger and Vinjar are amazing people, so generous and touching. I wish you all the best for the future and I hope to see you again (and the dogs, the goats, the sheeps...). ❤️

Ein sehr schöner, einzigartige Ort. Allein die Konzerte, von denen ich eines miterleben durfte, sind es wert. Gemeinsam essen, arbeiten und austauschen. Gerne wieder.

Kiho was excellent to host, she helped with our DIY projects and was self motivated and trustworthy. She was a great character to have around and we all enjoyed our time with her. Hopefully we get to host her again!

What a lovely experience staying with Bernie! She and her daughter are incredibly warm, inspiring, and generous people. I learned so much about Māori culture and a way of life deeply connected to nature. They are both amazing artists, and I loved having the opportunity to paint and learn jewellery making with them. The work was fun too, I helped making waterslider! They are also incredible cooks, and I enjoyed so many delicious meals made with fresh vegetables from their garden. I truly felt part of her beautiful family and community, and I’m grateful that I met some lovely people through them. This was a once in a lifetime experience, and I will always look back on it fondly. I couldn’t recommend staying with Bernie more highly‼︎

Although we stayed at this Workaway for only one night, Christian welcomed us very warmly. He is a kind, open-minded, and generous person. Christian provided excellent food, and even though we speak only a little French, communication was easy thanks to Google Translate. We would highly recommend staying at this Workaway.

I spent a month in Jämtland in the summer of 2024 and wish I could have stayed longer. It was my first trip with Workaway and it couldn't have been better – I was warmly welcomed into the family and had a wonderful time with the girls and the animals in the beautiful countryside. The work on the farm and with the animals was varied and enjoyable. I built my first fence, painted a bee hotel and made homemade rhubarb juice. I got to celebrate Midsummer with the family, went swimming in the lake and even saw moose (just to name a few of the many highlights)! Now, over a year later, I still think about that wonderful time in Jämtland a lot. I highly recommend it!
