Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Agos and Maxi were the best Workawayers we could have! They spent around 3 months in our village and helped us really improve our Airbnb comments. They worked on maintaining our apartments, but besides that, they would organize activities for our guests on their own. For example, they organized wine tastings that we had never had before, and they would sing and play music for the guests. We could trust them with any task, as they are independent and willing to work. They are very optimistic and pleasant people, and they were truly a light in our village. I wish I could have spent more time with them in Montenegro! Thank you guys for staying with us, we wish you all the best. I can’t wait to go home and try out the gift you left me. ❤️

Lyndsey made a fantastic contribution to sanctuary life and has been a great support in helping us look after the monkeys in our care. Lyndsey quickly picked up our routines and worked competently and efficiently. She was very helpful and keen to get involved in all the tasks we needed help with. Lyndsey was a great person to have around - friendly, cheerful and welcoming to new people joining us. Thank you, Lyndsey!

Lyla made a fantastic contribution to sanctuary life and was a great support in helping us look after the monkeys in our care. Lyla was hardworking and very helpful as well as being extremely cheerful and positive. Thank you, Lyla!

Seb was a great person to have helping us at the sanctuary. He was hardworking and completed all the tasks we needed help with to a high standard. He was able to work well as a member of a team but also use his common sense to work independently. Seb took an interest in our charity's work and was very empathetic to the rescued monkeys in our care. Seb was a great person to have around - very friendly, positive and easy to chat to. Thank you, Seb!

We were staying with Stefano and Francesca from mid-October to mid-November. These four weeks were our first Workaway experience. To be honest, in the beginning our plans looked a bit different. But since our original host cancelled on us last minute, we were so lucky that Stefano offered us a place to stay. The farm is quite large and home to a variety of animals: three pigs, one horse, two very cuddly cats, five rabbits, six dogs, and nearly 50 goats. Most of the time, we took care of the animals in the mornings and evenings together with the other Workawayers. It was especially funny making sure that every single goat returned to the stable and no one escaped. In between we had a variety of different tasks, some examples are: weeding, cleaning and sorting out some spaces, maintenance work, planting seeds, harvesting olives, watering and untangling A LOT of wire from which we made a fence for the goats. The work was enjoyable and changed according to the weather. Most of the time we were three or four Workawayers and Stefano always found something appropriate and meaningful for us to do. Regarding working hours we had a lot of freedom, as we were able to decide when to work by ourselves (except for the time range when feeding the animals). So it was possible to go for a walk after lunch and continue with work in the afternoon. Monday to Friday we worked five hours each day. We enjoyed our time here a lot and are very glad to have made these beautiful memories. Some days of the week we were invited for a delicious dinner cooked by Francesca at their house, these evenings always were a lot of fun. Bjorn was always up to something, Loe (their dog) trying to hypnotise us into giving her some food and Leonardo was very energetic, a great entertainer even though we don’t even understand italien. One evening they even took us to watch Leo’s football match, which his team obviously won ;) and after some very good pizza, they showed us the beautiful city Arezzo. It was so nice staying with you and the time passed very fast, in the end it felt way too short. We are glad for all the things we learned and thankful that you took us into your home. We wish you all the best for your future ❤️

Anastasia is great. She is adult, responsible and hard working person. We felt very comfortable to live her alone with a tasks. As we were sure that she will do it. And we don't need to check on her. She painted the walls, sieved compost, pulled the weeds in the garden, took great care about the cats, made some decorations, glued together our broken China and flower pots, she cleaned both of her bungalow very clean 😅. She treated our place with love and respect. Anastasia made a good team with other volonteers. She is easy to be around and also good by her own. She really loved out cats, and we feel they missing her a lot. As we are😅. Hope to see her again. If she applies to you. Don't hesitate to take her.

I had a very good time and a good company with Yelva and Jamie. They are not afraid to try on new things or do things tehy already knew things about. Be it driving 4 well motorcycles or driving a sewing machine, running a wood processor or cooking, they take on the challenge. You are welcome back./Stefan

Maelle was with us for two months and did any task that was on the order whether it was the daily routine with the animals, harvesting and preparing the veggie garden for the winter, repairs or cleaning, that she even did without me asking! She has wonderful personality and I highly recommend her to any other hosts. She also managed the farm during daytime when my partner was working and I was away! Thank you so much for staying with us! Good luck on your journey and you are welcome back anytime! Wenche and Javier and Aiko (the dog) gives a big hug! He misses your cuddles !

Basti is wonderful person and amazing volonteer. Very polite. Hard working. Considered of others. He can work alone or with a team. His work is clean and neat. Basti took care of the place and our tools. Good with h people and animals (our cats😅) Basti fixed some electronic appliances for us. Made a new bench and box for condiments. Helped us sort broken appliances for future recycling. Move heavy plants and help us with lots of heavy lifting tasks. Also Basti is tall - so he can do things tall people can do (collecting black pepper and fruits from far above) If he is applying to you- you lucky, do not hesitate to take him. All of us enjoyed his company and appreciated his help.

Mauri & Sappy ( dog ), came to us as a last minute placement, as they were already in Spain. Mauri worked really well from day one, only needed to be shown once, and was done to satisfaction. His work included the daily cleaning of all the coops and duck houses, trimming and clearing away the pine hedging around the garden area, and helping wherever needed. A lovely guy, with an adorable dog. Would thoroughly recommend for future work away placements.

Juli y Cece son dos personas maravillosas que encajan perfectamente con el ritmo que llevamos aquí. En cuanto al trabajo, ayudaron con la pintura natural de una de las habitaciones y con la creación de un mandala hecho de arcilla. También lograron arreglar un viejo armario que ya habíamos dado por perdido. Os vamos a echar mucho de menos, especialmente a Rio, que confundía a Cece con papá Pablo, jajaja. Las puertas siempre estarán abiertas para cuando los tres queráis volver 😉.

Fantastic experience! A Workaway project concept at its best. I joined Mansoor’s team on a two-week trip with a group of German geologists through the remote parts of Oman. From the very first greeting, I felt like part of this wonderful family whose members work together on every trip — from the cook, to the drivers, to the all-round helpers. They are all related, and I immediately felt welcomed into this tribe with genuine warmth. The work was pure pleasure, adventure, and discovering Oman from the inside. Campsite logistics, helping in the kitchen, shopping, talking with guests — and above all, spending full days with Ahmed and Said. Tons of laughter, jokes, kindness. With the group I visited places I would never have reached on my own. Had conversations I would never normally have time for. Made friendships that will last forever. Oman unforgettable. Plus, fantastic communication with Mansoor. Everything clear. A fair deal for both sides. Thank you. Highly recommended.

Muchísimas gracias a toda la fantástica familia por acogernos y por esta experiencia inolvidable que recomendamos al 1000 %! La casa rebosa energía positiva en todos los sentidos y realmente sentimos que hemos tenido mucha suerte de poder participar en esta aventura.  Las dos semanas pasaron volando, tuvimos la oportunidad de renovar un mueble, pintar y descubrir la fabricación de revestimientos murales con componentes 100 % naturales, participar en un mural, aprender muchas otras recetas caseras, hacer experimentos culinarios (¡Le aseguramos una vez más que hemos seguido la receta oficial de la ratatouille!). Y entre todo eso, nuestra estancia estuvo marcada por muchos momentos coloridos: entre los momentos todos juntos, los paseos por las colinas de los alrededores, un poco de música, un poco de yoga, la tranquilidad del lugar.  En resumen, tenemos la sensación de haber podido ayudar un poco y hacer muchas cosas bonitas, y de haber vivido una experiencia enriquecedora y muy gratificante. ¡Ha sido maravillosaso!

エレナはとても聡明で純粋で活動的な方でした！彼女がいた10日間はあまりにも短く、やり残したことがたくさんありました。エレナが滞在中、私はほとんどの日を仕事で出かけなければいけませんでした。ですが彼女はいつも笑顔で寄り添ってくれました、仕事前に彼女に髪を編んでもらい、仕事から帰るとお茶を用意してくれました。子供達ともたくさん遊んでくれました、犬達と散歩もしましたね！私達の少し不便な生活様式にいつも寄り添い、私達に適切なアプローチをいつも考えて実践してくださる賢い方です。そして私は英語が喋れないけれど、彼女の滞在中ほとんど翻訳アプリを使わずに過ごしました！エレナの喋る英語は初心者や子ども向けに変換され、とてもわかりやすかったです、さすが英語の先生！優しくて賢いエレナ、本当にありがとう！あなたにまた会えることを家族全員、楽しみにしています！

nous avons passé, mon copain et moi même, plusieurs mois aux côtés d'Emmanuelle et sa famille. Nous nous sommes considérés très chanceux de les avoir rencontré, ils nous ont acceuil à bras ouverts et nous ont aidés au delà de nos attentes. 100%recommande de leur faire confiance

The Apiary in Tanay is such a beautiful spot. I fell in love with this place on the very first day I arrived there. Nica and the whole staff at the camp and farm, are so nice and helpful. The work was fun as well. A little bit gardening and construction work is very fun to do. Also because the crew is so great and always making fun and it's laughing. The whole vibe is awesome. And the surrounding and nature around this place is breathtaking. It was so fun and I loved the time I spent there. Thank you Nics for giving this opportunity to experience the glamping camp and farm 😁🙏

I've done several Workaway placements during my travels (through other websites), but the one with Martina, Filip, and their two adorable little girls was by far the best. Between enjoyable work, fits of laughter, snow, deep conversations, skiing, walks, excellent meals, and playing with Zinna and Lanna, it was an unforgettable experience. I write these words with emotion. Filip is incredibly kind, and Martina is an exceptional person. It took a few days for all the "barriers" to disappear, but after that, I felt like a member of the family. Deep in a nearly inaccessible forest, I found the kindest, most understanding, and most open people of all 13 countries I've visited. I don't speak English very well, but Martina speaks my language, French, almost like a native speaker, so that helped me a lot. If anyone needs to feel their heart beat faster, I know just the place!

I have only positive things to say about my Workaway experience. Olivier and Colette are among the most generous, warm-hearted, and caring people I’ve met on my journey. They welcome you into their beautiful property, where you immediately feel at home. With your own bungalow, you have privacy as well as a lovely view of the sea, the chickens, and the geese. Mornings were filled with jokes, practicing French, and good vibes. The work that followed mainly involved helping out in the garden, but it also felt like moments of sharing and learning new French words. I would wholeheartedly recommend staying here and would love to return whenever I get the chance.
