Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Eve is inspirational! Always working at something, on her tractor, in the garden or elsewhere. Full of stories & insights and easy to get along with she made me feel right at home. I'd never worked in a vineyard but she explained how to do things and why that made it easy. I also cooked her several meals in her lovely home on her beautiful property. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with Eve.

Nela was a true blessing to have with us. She is a calm, kind and quietly radiant person who brings a sense of peace wherever she goes. During her stay she worked with dedication, clarity and responsibility, always attentive and present. She naturally blended into the rhythm of the house, supporting every task with gentleness ; from preparing the rooms to helping with meals, from keeping shared spaces tidy to taking care of the garden. She is someone who observes, listens, understands the atmosphere, and contributes without ever overwhelming the space. Nela, thank you for everything you brought here: your serenity, your kindness, your respect for the place and the people. 🌼 A wonderful human being who made our home even more peaceful.

Ruben stayed for 2 weeks at the farm. He is able to do the work assigned although language is a bit of a challenge. He learned to care for the chicken and ducks, helped with the grass mowing and helped prune some trees.

I had an amazing time in here! This hostel and Gili Meno has a special place in my heart🙏🏽 During my time we had just a few guest, because of low season and we spend a lot time talking, playing cards, doing yoga, sport, bunch of snorkling, had sunset boat trips and some movie nights. Overall a great experience, time and lovely surroundings. The hostel staff is also awesome, everyone is helpful, taking care and we had delicious food. Thanks so much for this opportunity Sebastian!

Cristian and Marina are a really sweet couple who stayed 4 weeks, despite some unexpected adverse circumstances. Cristian has some DIY experience, which is really handy in a place like this. They are hardworking and trustworthy and work together very well as a team. They were always ready to help in anything I was doing, even when they’d already worked more than enough for the day. They split two big cartloads of wood for the wood stove, cleaned out the basement, which was in a dreadful state after being invaded by rats over the summer, built a low stone wall around the well, replaced all the broken tiles along an outside walkway, as well as a few in the kitchen, painted one of the bedrooms, did some garden chores… As well as, of course, lovely conversations over long meals, about their country, their culture and their dreams. I would definitely recommend them to any Workaway host.

We had a really great time at Romi's place and leave with many great memories! We first wanted to stay for one week and ended up staying for three, and we were sad to leave, as it felt like home and we got to know many of Romi's family. Work is not too hard, you can also find something yourself to contribute. We ended up doing some art with bamboo for the main room, which was really relaxing. Life is slow at Batu Ridi, but you can always find something to do like playing chess or singing karaoke (look for Iwan Fals If you want some great music in Bahasa). We went swimming every day, did some great hikes, saw many animals and had several barbeque nights with great food. One thing to note: as in all of Indonesia, many people smoke, also at Batu Ridi. We do not, but did not mind, as you are always outside. We could sleep in one of the bungalows, which was not luxurious, but comfortable enough. In general, you can have a really great experience, if you adapt to the rhythm of life. We highly recommend staying!

Enno and William are very nice, hardworking guys. They are quick learners and very fun to be around. A very beautiful thing was there deep, respectful and kind care for each other - always sensing each other. Amazing. After there big trip to northern Scandinavia and more workaway, they came back and stayed for a few days, and we talked about the whole trip and what it had done to them. Very good way to feedback. Still now we are often in contact . You are always welcome back.

[9/2026] I spent almost two weeks here, which was absolutely amazing. I had my own room, which I really appreciated. I was there when they were hosting their friends. This was very rewarding because I got to taste the traditional food, which was delicious. At the beginning of my stay, I was given a schedule of activities to do. The instructions were clear. The tasks included cleaning and preparing the rooms for the guests, setting the tables before serving the communal meals, and then cleaning up after the meals (washing the dishes, the table). Or weeding the flower bed. The house is located in a quiet area, so it is an oasis of peace. There are several places around the house where I went for walks or meditation. It was a great experience, for which I am extremely grateful. Thank you all for this experience and a special thanks to Steven, who was very helpful in completing the tasks. Muchas gracias 🌼

After a lesser experience I wasn't really looking for Workawayers, but we accidently crossed paths and Rocio and Sergio turned out to be such an amazingly sweet couple bringing such lovely vibes into the house! Everything they write in their profile is true, they are hard working, passionate for anything with nature and they are super open and eager to learn about everything. We've harvested olives, they've prepared my garden for winter and many more all-round tasks but we've also gone climbing and even went to a party together :-) I would strongly recommend them to anyone since I'm sure they will blend in anywhere, bringing their light into your place <3 I wish you guys all the best with your winter projects and really hope to see yous again!

Lino was an exceptional helper during his time with us. He learned new tasks very quickly and always performed them with great care. His work ethic was consistently strong, and he approached every assignment with enthusiasm. He was reliable and could always be counted on to complete his duties on time. He communicated clearly and was easy to work with. His positive attitude made a noticeable difference in our daily routines. He contributed greatly to both our work environment and household tasks. He was respectful, attentive, and willing to go the extra mile whenever needed. We truly appreciated his dedication and support. We would gladly work with him again in the future.

It was such a pleasure to have this family stay with us for a while. We all felt in love with Jano, their eight-month-old son. And we enjoyed their wonderful, free-spirited approach to parenting. It was so easy. It was so delightful to have a baby around. Archi is a very sweet, tough, and easygoing woman. She painted a beautiful stone for the garden and often cooked delicious meals, but she also did a lot of physical work, such as harvesting sweet potatoes. And we also enjoyed Hannes' company very much. Together with Antonio, he built a beautiful stairway, which involved a lot of sweat, but he continued regardless. He was always helpful, thought along with us, asked wonderful questions, and was able to go into depth. He also plays the guitar beautifully and bakes the most delicious pizzas and bread! We felt very sad that they had to leave.

We spent an amazing 10 days at Mr Singhs. This was our first Workaway in India and it was a great chance to begin adjusting to the country. Everybody at the hotel is super friendly and always happy to see you. We will dearly miss the team and Mr Singh himself. Our work was mainly helping with large groups of guests at the weekend. This is an opportunity to meet people from all over India, who will be excited to speak to you. It’s easy to go for days out in Amritsar. Plus, we went on a trip to the border which our friends kindly organised for us. The parade is unmissable!

My partner and I had a lovely week staying at Merilee’s in our self contained bus. She gave us a few options of jobs to complete in our own time. During our weeks stay, we completed building a surfboard rack, a private outdoor shower and toilet. We had lots of fun doing it and enjoyed getting to share surf stories and surf knowledge with Merilee.

I had my first Workaway with Jennifer and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Communication was excellent from start to finish, which made me feel welcome and at ease right away. Macleay Island is beautiful, and Jennifer went out of her way to show me around — from beach sunsets and yoga to meeting locals at community events. She even organized an overnight trip to Stradbroke Island, which was unforgettable. Her shared apartment is new, clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. My room was spacious with fresh towels, and the kitchen was spotless. The work was fair and enjoyable; I mainly did gardening like cutting bamboo and clearing space for crops. Jennifer never asked for long hours and even encouraged me to finish early to enjoy the island. Jennifer is kind, generous, well-traveled, and full of great stories — plus she makes amazing smoothies and salads. I also met Antony, who was lovely and working hard to help improve the home. My only regret was not staying longer!

We first met Zsolti, Ildi and cute little Marci during a hike where they provided a place for us to stay for the night and welcomed us with delicious homemade goodies. After that I went back for a week and it was an amazing experience, working, being outdoors and I truly felt like I'm a part of their family, they are just so easygoing and cool people, I had fun with their friends and family also. My accommodation was the best ever with a nice warm furnace and a comfy bed with bathroom where I had my little cute private place to read the books I borrowed from Ildi. Honestly I didn't even feel like working cause I had amazing conversations with Zsolt during and learned a lot about gardening and DIY works. Marci is the cutest kid ever and I am honored that he kinda learned to say my name 😍 I had fun babysitting him, and had big long playtimes together. I find them extremely helpful in every way possible, showing me around the area, the famous Stupa and the Buddhist meditational place is a magical area which is only 25 minutes from them, They even brought me bouldering which I might got addicted to. Oh and they make the best coffee ever, so even if you don’t like coffee you will like the one they make. Looking forward to our next meet.

Victoria has been a much appreciated workaway. She is curious, talented, has a cheerful mind and works very well. During the four weeks she was on the farm, she worked with painting fences, gardening, caring for the sheep, pressing apples, cooking, and a long list of other things. She is also artistic and has contributed to the decoration of the farm. It was the first painting on the “Star Wall” that will be built with all the signs of the zodiac. I can really recommend Victoria.

Ayudamos durante dos semanas. El hotel es absolutamente encantador, y es un lugar realmente maravilloso con vistas panorámicas de la ciudad de Oaxaca ^^. Nuestras tareas principales consistían en limpiar la casa de huéspedes, quitar las malas hierbas y realizar trabajos de mantenimiento general. Nos proporcionaron una habitación privada, por lo que estuvimos muy cómodos. Para las comidas, hay un supermercado cerca donde podíamos comprar nuestra propia comida y prepararla en la cocina. Rosi fue muy flexible con respecto a nuestro horario de trabajo preferido, por lo que fue estupendo poder ajustar nuestro horario y hacer las cosas. Los días que pasamos con la gente de WorkAway y la familia de Rosi fueron increíblemente agradables y se han convertido en recuerdos maravillosos para nosotros. Sin duda volveremos al hotel cuando visitemos Oaxaca de nuevo. ¡Muchas gracias! Traducción realizada con la versión gratuita del traductor DeepL.com

Since I arrived Tone had his hand wide open to welcome me. He is an intellectual, he likes new ideas and to adopt new ways of doing things. Very open communication.He is spiritually aware and a good listener🙏. I had a great time there. We did so many remarkable projects together and with others. Absolutely it takes my level one step higher. The place is beautiful, I interacted with the astonishing nature, with koalas and kookaburras and so many types of snakes. He is the greatest host 1000% recommended Love and respect for that beautiful community. Thanks Tone 😇

Staying with Cam and Bill was an awesome experience. Their farm is in a heavenly pretty place in the nature. You can go for lovley walks through the forest or to a near viewpoint (especially at sunset). If you like Birdwatching u will have a blast. Also having diner together every night was exciting and we had a lot of interesting conversations. The beach is not very far and thay have a pool. There are plenty beautiful hikes nearby. Also they let you use their workawayer car! Workwise its very straight forward: 5 hours 5 days/week, what we found is a fair deal. Cam and Bill are warm, kind and caring- high energy- humanbeings. We highly recommend staying with them! Thank you for having us!

Dorota (or Dorothy as we called her) was an absolute pleasure to host. We truly enjoyed having her stay with us for two weeks. She is a mature and thoughtful young woman, very interesting to talk to and with a great sense of humor. She is also a very hard worker. She got on well with every member of the family, and she was lovely with our dog and cat. We would have her back at any time.
