Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

I stayed with Dianna and Gilly in Enderby for five weeks with my friend Kirsty and had an amazing experience. Their home is spacious, peaceful, and very welcoming. From day one, they treated us like family. We had the privilege of participating in a sweat lodge, drum making, and a pipe ceremony, which were meaningful and memorable cultural experiences we’re extremely grateful for. The work mainly involved chopping wood, preparing for ceremonies, some odd jobs and helping prepare the property for winter, which was rewarding and interesting. We also enjoyed cooking some meals for them. We got to celebrate Thanksgiving with their extended family and were welcomed into the gathering, which was a real highlight. Thank you both for your generosity, kindness, and the unforgettable experience. We highly recommend staying with Dianna and Gilly

Diana was a pleasure to have around for 2 months. She helped us with multiple tasks around the house including weeding, cooking, cleaning and babysitting. Over the Christmas period, she was super creative in making some delicious meals and platters using lots of creativity. We were very lucky to have her around and truly enjoyed her company. She is very independent, so many times she did her own thing, leaving us to have our space when needed. All the tasks were completed with pride, and she always sought to do her best. Diana is a genuine and authentic person, she is eager to learn new things and doesn't mind to do long hours of work. I would recommend her to any host and welcome her back anytime.

Erika & Lewis We’re both amazing volunteers. They are such a great couple with great energy. They came as a volunteer but left as a family. They helped me build my chicken coop and also at the farm which was such a great help. I definitely recommend them to be best volunteers. Thank you for all :)

Zhiying & Xiaoyu stay with us was very pleasant and I’m great full for there help at our farm house. They are both very friendly and with a great personality getting along with all the people around . I really wished they could stay longer to help us here . And also taking care of my little ones for which I’m very greatfull :) I definitely recommend them both to be best volunteers. Thank you 😊 and you always have a space at my home here in Kathmandu.

We love hosting people like Ian as he has a big heart and is great at looking after people, he's a great cook, and he keeps things clean and tidy. I wish we had more volunteers with those skills! Highly recommended to any host. Thanks Ian.

We hosted Gracie and her friend Trinity for a short week but we wished they could have stayed longer as they were both diligent workers. Recommended to any host. Thank you.

Emma and Pepjin were a bit reserved to start with but don't let that put you off as they opened up after a day or so.. They both work steadily and reliably and I can recommend them to any host. Thank you

It was a real pleasure to host these two fine young women. They were polite, kind, thoughtful, caring, diligent and enthusiastic. Highly recommended to any host. Thank you

One of the best guys I have hosted. Skilled in so many ways and consistently kind, helpful and energetic. Highly recommended to any host. Thank you

Martine and Joshua were excellent volunteers at Brisa Bahía. They're both friendly, enthusiastic, and truly passionate about their creative work. Martine produced a beautiful documentary film about our retreat center that we're proud to share, while Josh contributed valuable work redesigning our website and helping with our rebranding efforts. Both delivered high-quality results and were a pleasure to host. We highly recommend them to other hosts and would welcome them back anytime!

Brami, (Przemyslaw) was a wonderful volunteer to host at Brisa Bahía. He's friendly, self-motivated, and brought impressive knowledge about plants to our project. What stood out most was his initiative—I could simply share what I wanted to accomplish, and he'd research the best methods and get to work without needing supervision. He shared various herbal teas and handled planting projects with real care and expertise. Highly recommend hosting Brami!

It was such a pleasure to host such an enthusiatic, friendly and helpful volunteer. Highly recommended to any host. We hope to see you again Gracie and best wishes

A very late review on my end! I stayed at the school for about a month in the very wintery winter-time and really enjoyed my stay. Mogi helped get me out of a difficult situation and let me stay and work at the school and she was really kind and generous to me and took time to show me and the other volunteer around and took us to cafes and things. She even arranged an open mic for me to play at at a coffee shop and I was given flowers and everything it was really awesom 😊!! The work is very free-lesson based. Be prepared to take the lead on lesson planning- I think teaching and working with children can be difficult for some people who aren't used to it or who don't have experience so make sure you're prepared and understand the role you have to take. The children at the school are so sweet and have fantastic english! Darkhan is nicer and more relaxed than the capital of Mongolia. The winter is very intense which I liked, but maybe go in summer if you're wary of the cold :) Xxxx

Hajar and her family are simply fantastic ! hope to see you soon 💙

I say thanks to Christina for helping me with accommodations even if I stayed few days it was fun meeting you and the other guests at your house. Christina was clear about jobs to be done since the beginning and we hadn't any problem in communicating, she is very welcoming and helpful in any way she can. Bye!

Amazing young people fulfilling the WorkAway mission in its truest sense. Great conversations, diligent, thoughtful workers, and very interesting people in their own right. We wish them health and happiness in their travels!

If you're looking for five-star resort-style comfort, this isn't the place for you. At Jardin , you come to reconnect with yourself and nature. What makes this place so precious is the beauty of the rainforest and its people. I think it's sometimes good to forget about the things that distance us from our humanity. Here, you won't think about work texts or calls. Here, you'll find the person you truly are. The garden is beautiful, and the owners put a lot of effort into it. It's not perfect, but it's enough. Who can say they've stayed in the middle of the rainforest in a national park with endangered species? I wish Clarissa and Darren all the best, because you can't always pursue your dreams and go all in. The place offers glamping areas, or tents; it's sustainable and uses limited resources, so keep that in mind.

I had an absolute blast spending my time learning life in county Clare, Jo is a fantastic fiddle player and an experienced teacher. She do right by you if your interested in traditional Irish folk music. She helped me over come some learning pains with starting a new instrument and inspired us to continue learning. One day I want to be involved in a session at the roadside. The surrounding areas are beautiful but can be very wet and cold, however there is plenty to be done. I had a hand in gardening, DIY and a plenty of other incredibly unique jobs that needed to be done. It truly was an experience I wont be forgetting any time soon because the people you meet out there are wise, beautiful and full of character. It really is the best place to be for music, culture and a good chat!! Thank you for having us :) Liam

Andi und ich verbrachten 4 tolle Wochen bei Elke über Weihnachten und Silvester 2025. Es war schön zu sehen wie Elke sich über unser Dasein freute und auch wir genossen es in dieser Zeit so eine schöne Unterkunft und Gesellschaft zu haben. Elke hilft einem mit allem weiter: Weintouren, Friseur- oder Pediküretermine :), Postsendungen, Mitnahme in die Stadt oder zurück,... Ihre Finca und das Anwesen sind der Wahnsinn und soooo schön. Und natürlich die Tiere. Alle 9 Hunde sowie die Pferde sind super lieb und wir haben uns in alle verliebt. Was die Arbeit angeht: jeden Tag Pferde füttern, rausbringende, Boxen misten und zu unserer Zeit (Dezember/Regenzeit) war es auch sehr viel Gartenarbeit bzw Rasenschnitt einsammeln. Was die Arbeit angeht koordiniert man vieles mit Javier, Elkes Mitarbeiter. Er ist etwas schüchtern, aber sehr nett. Es ist wichtig mit ihm und Elke gut zu kommunizieren wann man frei haben möchte. Sie sind flexibel und entgegenkommend, aber man muss es mit ihnen gut besprechen. Was das Reiten angeht, sollte man auch dies gut mit Elke besprechen. Sie ist meist vielbeschäftigt und hat viele Dinge im Kopf. Aber wenn sie kann, nimmt sie sich die Zeit und ist auf jeden Fall eine super Reitlehrerin. Leider kann man nur auf dem Reitplatz reiten und nicht ausreiten. Uns hat es bei Elke sehr gut gefallen, sie ist ein sehr liebenswerter Mensch und wir würden uns freuen sie nochmal besuchen zu können. Danke für alles!!! ❤️

Staying here was truly an amazing experience. From the very first day, they made me feel welcome and at home. The work–life balance was perfect, and everything felt fair, relaxed, and well organized. The hosts are incredibly kind, generous, and genuine people. They introduced me to many of their friends, which made the experience even richer and more social. I stayed for two weeks, and by the end it honestly felt less like a host–volunteer stay and more like a friendship. The place where you stay is one of the most beautiful locations I’ve ever been — peaceful, inspiring, and a joy to wake up in every day. On top of all that, they have the most amazing cat named Killer, who definitely deserves a +1 on her own. I’m extremely grateful for the time we spent together and would recommend the place to anyone.
