Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Robin & Ann were very sweet, kind, calm, assertive in their work, experienced in garden work and being very creative in solution making on my land. They really did so much in such little time and worked like a great team. They helped me a lot and were very nice to have around. So I would’ve loved to have them stay longer here!

It was a very nice experience to have Aleena with us during last kiwindima . With all skills necessary to farm works, Aleena was the perfect Workawyer to motivate all the team with lot of joy and sensitivity . Thanks a lot for your presence this year Aleena!

John and Jen were perfect hosts. The accommodation was clean with everything you need provided, not to mention the fabulous views. The work itself was very reasonable, and the communication was clear on what needed to be done and how to do it. All tools were provided to make everything a breeze. I personally love gardening, so getting out in the mountains every morning was absolute bliss. Their location is very convenient about 35 minutes to Ballarat and 12 minutes to Daylesford, and if you drive an hour in any direction you’ll come across two or three towns with plenty to see. The meals provided were fresh and healthy, with something different every day. Sometimes we spent the afternoons on the balcony while the sun went down with a glass of wine, having some laughs, and other times we put down the movie screen and watched a film. John and Jen were very respectful of your privacy and always willing to socialise or give you space. I feel like I made some friends in this process, and I hope to visit again in the near future. You guys were fantastic! thank you for an amazing time!

Elea y Julien son la razon por la cual los franceses bretones estan dentro de nuestras comunidades de voluntarios preferidas. Adaptarse a nuestra vida cotidiana off the grid no es facil y ellos lo han hecho. Son una pareja joven, entusiasta, y muy dispuesta a colaborar e integrarse con el dia a dia de un proyecto. Y no le hacen asco a las tareas que demandan esfuerzo. Ademas por su propia cuenta nos han dado muchas ideas de juegos para nuestras cabras, las cuales luego hemos implementado juntos. ¡Ha sido un placer trabajar y compartir este tiempo con ellos!

Unique, fun and worthwhile experience. Did lots of one on one conversations with the students to improve their English. Lessons were more unstructured but we enjoyed having to think on our feet and the students were all lovely. The accommodation provided is in a gated community with a swimming pool, gym and a nice collection of shops. Raul is very communicative and stocks the accommodation with lots of food, and he is always on hand to help and support with any problems that you have. He was very attentive and ensured that we had everything we needed. Thank you!

Gracias por esta hermos experiecia. No saben lo hermoso que fue tenerlos en el hostel. Gracias por dejarnos esa hermosa energia. Los recomiendo infinitamente. Ya saben que tienen un lugar seguro en la ciudad de Oaxaca, México. Los esperamos con los brazos abiertos y les deseamos lo mejor en sus futuros viajes. Espero poder subir en estos días algo de su hermoso trabajo que hicieron en el hostel. (recomendados para el área de murales y pintura!!)

I truly enjoyed hosting Karla. She has a calm, discreet, and serene presence, and shows a remarkable level of maturity. During her stay, she helped me collect and store an enormous amount of firewood — always motivated and ready to load “just one more trailer”! Karla is also a skilled baker. She even managed to revive the sourdough starter I had neglected and treated us to delicious homemade bread. I found in Karla a very reliable young woman, committed to seeing every task and every experience through. I warmly recommend her to any future host — she will bring dedication, serenity, and genuine talent to your home.

My short stay at Clare's place was truly a lovely experience. Her property is beautiful with horses, bees, and such lucious gardens. I was lucky enough to share this experience with a few other Workswayers and I think we had a productive week! The work varried, sometimes working alone and sometimes in teams. Whether it was helping out with the horses, garden, or tidying up the house, Clare always showed appreciation for our work. She is super passionate about her property and loves to teach others about any part of it! You won't be too far from town, a lovely beach, and a short (but amazing) bush hike. I would recommend Clare's for both couples and solo travelers as Clare tries to host more than 1 Workawayer at a time, so you will most likely make some friends during your stay. It is a great spot if you are looking to be out of the city in a peaceful environment. I would gladly stay with Clare again!

Diana is an absolutely delightful person — always smiling, full of humor, and truly a joy to have around. We shared so many laughs together, and after just a few days it felt as if we had been friends for years. During her stay, she helped me with various garden maintenance tasks and always did so with positivity and great energy. Her cheerful attitude made every moment enjoyable. I warmly recommend Diana to any future host. She will bring kindness, enthusiasm, and a wonderful spirit to your home.

Mateusz jest świetnym kompanem dla dzieci, jest świetnym fotografem, robi fantastyczne filmiki, jest elastyczny i dostosowuje sie do potrzeb. Troche boi sie niektorych prac fizycznych, ale potrafi przełamać sie i wydobyć z siebie nieco siły i mozliwosci 😁. Fajnie, że studiujesz niedaleko, mamy nadzieję że wpadniesz jeszcze 😁.

Jeanne worked with us as a restaurant manager the 2025 season, and we honestly couldn’t be more positive about her contribution. From day one, Jeanne took responsibility, brought structure to the team, and ensured everything ran smoothly. What we especially appreciated was the combination of initiative, organisation skills, and genuine hospitality passion. Nothing was ever too much to ask and Jeanne always thought ahead and came up with helpful suggestions. We would welcome Jeanne back any time and can wholeheartedly recommend them to any host looking for a reliable, independent and dedicated team member. Thank you for your wonderful contribution, you will always be welcome here! 🙌💛

Daniel jest dobrym wolontariuszem - jest sprytny, szybko sie uczy, nawet bardzo szybko, nie boi sie żadnej pracy , ma dobre podejscie do pracy fizycznej, do zwierząt i nawet prawie dobre do dzieci 😁 a u nas nie zawsze bywa to takie łatwe 😉😅. Daniel, szkoda ze mieszkasz tak daleko, bo pewnie byłbyś częstym gościem u nas 😃

Anniek was a delight to host. She stayed only a week but in that time created a lively bond with my dog Marshall, walking him morning and night. She entertained us with her singing and guitar and dealt very professionally with all tasks including , lawns, ironing, cleaning, tidying, cleaning large windows. Very happy to recommend Anniek as a Workawayer.

We found Di delightful. Enjoyed her many anecdotes about her adventures. She was very good with our animals and fell in love with our old doggie, Sophie. She is a hard worker and did wonders weeding the overgrown garden. Nothing was too much for her. We highly recommend her as a Workawayer and would have her back again any time. Thanks Di.

I AM Blessed to have shared this chapter of Life with Benny and his family. I spent just one month on the land, yet the experience has shifted my Being forever. Benny is very kind and easy to communicate with. I felt comfortable in his presence and enjoyed living and working alongside him. there were 4 workawayers total while I was there and we formed a very deep and Beautiful Bond with eachother. This Land is so Potent and Nourishing. the animals are happy and healthy and sweet. The work is flexible with the talents that are brought. I did lots of building projects while there which I love to do. there is a town nearby with great atmosphere. I made everlasting friends in the area, went to ecstatic dances, drum circles etc. lots of community gatherings happening in the area. Overall, I felt at home here. Thank you Benny for holding space for a Beautiful Vision and leading this opportunity. Sending you and your family lots of Love

Dear Lotti and Eloise, Thank you for staying with us. It was a pleasure to meet you both. Lotti and Eloise are two hartwarming, social, funny hardworking girls. We had fun and laughter next to serieus talks. Hopefully we’ll meet again! We wish you the very best!

Fué increíble tener a Andora con nosotros. Entendía muy bien las labores y es hábil para resolver situaciones. Se esfuerza y es una chica dedicada. No se puede pedir nada más.

We had the pleasure of hosting Louis and Janaelle, a young French couple, for about a week in November, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very first day, they showed kindness, enthusiasm, and a real willingness to help in every task we proposed. They contributed to several projects around the house, including gardening, sanding, repainting, and reorganising some of our indoor and outdoor spaces. They also supported us with our artistic project Tridimensionati, bringing patience, precision, and a great spirit of collaboration. Their help made a real difference. Beyond the work, we truly enjoyed spending quality time with them. They are easy-going, respectful, and genuinely interested in sharing moments together. Our dog and cats absolutely adored them — a clear sign of the positive energy they bring with them. We warmly recommend hosting Louis and Jana to anyone using Workaway. They are reliable, friendly, and thoughtful volunteers, and we hope to cross paths with them again in the future.

I had an amazing time at David and Judis farm. They were both unbelievably kind and helpful at showing me all of the animals, the local area and much more. The work was always enjoyable and they were generous with breaks and rest periods. Of all the workaways I have done this is the one I would recommend.

Nils es una gran persona, joven y con ganas de aprender.
