Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

It is nice to meet Griffin and spending time with him.He is very supportive and helpful, especially when we are busy in the hostel. He loves and biking around and explore new things. In addition, he also really enjoys learning Chinese and just started his Chinese courses recently, We are also thankful that we have him to support us during our peak season. Once again, we are glad that we met him and welcome him back anytime in the future. ^^

I stayed with Paula and Megan for one week, during my stay I done some painting on the exterior of the house,they left to do what hours I want,some days short hours and some days longer hours,this gave me the time to explore the area.Paula and Megan were so easy going and flexible.I had my own room and shared bathroom and kitchen.They have a beautiful dog named Nellie which is so friendly when you get to know her.The area is amazing with the beach 10 minutes walk away,they picked me up and dropped me at the bus station.I would 100% recommend this workaway experience.Thank you Paula and Megan for a great experience.

This was our first Workaway and what an amazing experience ! We couldn't have a better start in India! Anil has received us at the airport and guided us in Delhi & Agra. We've also spend 10 days in Jind in his family. The better way to learn Indian culture! His lovely mother showed us a lot of recipes, she's the best cooker ever! His father was so kind and shared his passions with us. Regarding Anil, he is a wonderful, sweet and caring person. We've created a real friendship with him and we can say we were part of the family. Incredible experience!!!

This was our first Workaway and a really great introduction to the concept and we learned a lot in our 2 weeks. Barnabas and his family have been very appreciative of the help from All the volunteers whatever our skills. He is also knew to Workaway so we have all been learning and developing a ‘start up’ approach together. He’s got a great sense of humour and is a really nice person. Barnabas is an entrepreneurial thinker with big ideas - he definitely needs help to prioritise and bring his dreams to reality. I focused on helping with some basic business mentoring including ‘purpose ‘ setting, budgets and priorities. We also prioritised the revenue generation through accommodation, so I also worked to set up on platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com Chris worked on creating videos to help tell the vision of Barnabas and to attract new Workaway volunteers. One of the frustrations for both of us was the intermittent wifi - both for doing our Workaway tasks and personal use. The location is beautiful- it was such a nice respite from the rest of the busy towns and cities we’d been to. We loved exploring the villages and hills around here. The group of other volunteers were awesome - we learned a lot from them both in terms of their own countries and how to cook yummy food - we certainly never went hungry!! We’ve really enjoyed our first Workaway and would recommend this place to self motivated people, especially those with marketing, business, video skills.

Hello, Bonnie she help us with the art. it was very superb because shes drawing our hotel view. Bonnie is very easygoing person and unfortunately our guest mistaken paint her drawing. We are deeply sorry for that. Bonnie are very good with her art. we are very sorry for leaving you late feedback. I hope in future you want to stay here again. Thank you Bonnie. :)

Dear Patty, many thanks for your nice words. We shared a whole month with her and we are going to repeat! She integrated easily as a member of the family taking care of the tasks in the brewery and the house spontaneously and easygoing. She left us diverse beautiful artworks from her, on walls and paper. And she even was a soul to chat about live and its issues. More than happy to see you again Patty!

Hello, we are very sorry for leaving you a late reply, we are very happy for your help while you were here. Thankyou so much for your help when we needed someone in the reception due to our short staff you willingly to help. We are really enjoy that you guys staying here help with the leakage of our rooftop. And Gray thankyou for your help with the wiring. Both of them really good in construction and last but not least they are very friendly.

AMAZING PLACE! This was my 5th workaway and I can say that's probably the best one. Nice farm with many different tasks to be done ( the whole cycle of the plants, feeding animals, some reparations and buildings...), really nice people taking care of you every single time and beautiful facilities with a swimming pool! Jack told me from the beginning "farm it's for people, not for money". I think that's a good way to summarize the good intentions of this place. Definitely a great place that worths staying long so you can join Jack and the neighbors on their day to day live. Big family! I'm going yo miss you. Thanks for everything!

We arrived here after new years in waist-deep snow and stayed for an amazing all-too-short six weeks. This place on mystical Samothraki has beautiful energies and we made the best of it in the time we had. The tasks at the beginning were mostly about survival against the unpredictable and rather extreme weather conditions, then gradually, as other volunteers joined us and the winter got kinder, we followed a well-paced schedule of fulfilling labour, constantly learning and developing new skills, without ever pushing ourselves too hard. We loved every minute of it and would be glad to call this place our home! Daud is an inspiring and engaging character (not to mention a sensational cook!) who makes you feel that you belong in this magical place. The project is promising and the connection with the nature, animals (we miss the dogs, cats and Poopsie the baby lamb!) and elements is so powerful, we would strongly recommend it to anyone in search of truth and purpose in this world ☺️ we are now on a long journey around this planet so we were sad we had to leave but we are sure to be back one day and to continue with this enlightening experience for an indefinite period of time, perhaps move into one of the many stone houses on the land and keep working hard towards restoring the island to its former lush greenery. We miss you!! Love&blissful vibes 😀 Masha&Ugo

Im very grateful that Johnny and Zena were my first Workaway hosts! They are great people, very down to earth and easy to have good conversations with. They made me feel welcome right away along with their three great kids. Anyone lucky enough to stay with them will get to witness this too, and gain an appreciation for all the hard work they put in.

I have stayed in this lovely hotel for almost a month and it was one of my best experience! Ms Muzaffer is very kind, smart, generous man, it was really pleasure to work and deal with him. The tasks were very simple - some little gardening, help around the kitchen. Work was definitely less than 25 hours.. The hotel itself is a luxury place with breathtaking views. The village is very easy reachable from Marmaris (only 1h by bus). I am very happy I been there! Thank you, Mr. Muzaffer, for the nice time and your kindness, I wish you all the best.

I really recommend coming to stay at Jerzy's farm! Jerzy and his family are extremely welcoming and hospitable, with great conversation, delicious food and a positive atmosphere. When you begin to understand Jerzy's project it is very impressive, and you gain motivation to help his dream! You should definitely come and stay here :) Jonny

Lorena is great fun ........... passionate ............ beautiful .............. and energetic. We are glad she stopped with us and only wish she could have stayed longer.

This was my first Workaway experience and I loved it! When arriving at the hostel in Bagan you receive a warm welcome by Zue Zue and the other staff. They make you feel at home and show you around the first day, then your volunteering starts! You stay in a beautiful hostel with amazing facilities, I didn't even know about the rooftop pool :) ! I was a sunrise and sunset guide which means you show the guests the nice spots around Bagan, organize boat trips etc. You get a lot of freedom and help from the staff when you want to organize different things like small evening games or day trips around the area. You also interact with guests, tell them about the area and promote your activites. This is definitely an experience you don't want to miss. Possibly because of Kai (who I later met) and the staff who always have your back and joke around constantly. It never felt like work because you're just a traveler like everybody else and your "job" is to put even bigger smiles on those faces :D ! When you're a creative and social person, confident to constantly talk to other travelers and big groups you'll have an awesome and rewarding experience here!

Leonie is very energic and responsible lady, she likes very much teaching the kindergarten, and she is very co-operate with the kindergarten teacers, so I recomment her if you need to work with her beside she is very friendly and happy girl, thank you Leonie you have helped us, hope very much that you will come to visit us again someday

Juliet stayed with us for a week and a bit, we were her first Workaway host. She is very polite, friendly, considerate, very good with kids, willing to give anything a try, proactive and a can-do attitude!!! We will miss your giggles and smiles, you are more than welcome to come back. Enjoy the rest of your trip in NZ.... :)

It's a long time I want to leave feedback but I really don't know how to describe my appreciation and thankfulness of having you around. For all the daily plans you had for my little daughter's creativity and for the experience of life you offered to my family generously. Thank you, Regine, for everything.

This was my first workaway experience and my first experience at volunteering at an animal shelter as well and I learned a lot within just two weeks! I am so happy to have found this project! The place is amazing and has such potential! If you have much love and patience to give for animals and are feeling like dedicating yourself in order to make this dogs day this is your project! I felt both supported by the people from the shelter and free to use my strength and figure out how I can Help the dogs best while my stay. The management is super open for your ideas how to improve the dogs and cats life :) Also the dogs all have such lovely and sometimes quirky characters so that it is for sure that you will fall in love with them immediately. Marie- the manager was so supportive and upcheering during my stay as it can be sometimes overwhelming to work with so many dogs. But to be honest these were very rare occasions for me and some cuddle time with the puppies was always making me feel so happy again immediately! :) If you want to volunteer at an animal shelter please please consider the foundation as these dogs really need your love and attention and your help will be appreciated so much- both form the management and the dogs ( mostly shown by a ton of dog kisses all over your face :D )! I wish this shelter all the best and I am so grateful for everything I learned there!

Teresa give up at the last minutes, she changes plan easily.

Anne and Rasmus were a joy to live and work with. They are always willing to learn and tackle a job. We loved their stories and our good conversations on all sorts of topics. It was great to learn about their travels and experiences too. Apologies that I missed this you guys - hope travel has been good to you!!
