Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Professional and friendly girls. We highly recommend.

It was a unique experience for me! The family were very warm and welcoming, and after just a few days, I felt like I was part of the family. The tent I slept in was fantastic. Every morning, I could admire the sunrise, and every evening, I could enjoy the sunset. The tent was furnished with proper furniture, so I could sleep comfortably in a bed and enjoy the peace and quiet. The work was varied. Each morning, we discussed what needed to be done, such as repairing the goat shed, filling in soil, weeding and completing all the other tasks that need to be done on a farm. I am incredibly grateful for the hospitality, the lovely conversations and the time I spent with the two adorable children.

I had a wonderful Workaway with Letizia and her family. We did olive harvesting and got to see the full process in the local Cooperativo where they process the oil. I also enjoyed working in the garden. Family meals (veggie for us) made by Nonna were off course a very nice plus. Communication with Letizia was good, also really nice to meet some of her friends, join her Karate class and go out to a local festival. My dog Morris was welcome too, he loved that we were close to the beach. You can even bike from Letizia's place.

I highly recommend this place, for singles or couples, as the room has a double bed and a single bed above it. There's a wardrobe and a desk. Two windows with a beautiful view of the beautiful garden in different directions and a hummingbird will accompany you every day. Of course, there's a bathroom with a window and a beautiful view. The room is located in a separate house where there is an additional room for another very nice vorkwayer. There is also a kitchen where you can store your belongings and prepare meals. My duties weren't very demanding. Overall, it was a bit boring. It's a shame I didn't get to work with the gardeners, which I would ask for next time. The most interesting thing was walking several times a day with two lovely dogs in the beautiful mountainous area. Anyone who doesn't like heat and loves the mountains will be very pleased. I would like to thank my hosts again, and I hope to visit you again.

It was a pleasure to host Jacopo, sadly he stayed only for a week, but with him we accomplished so many things! He is very polite and helped us in everything and really had fun with him. We also talked about a lot of things, he has so many interests and he's very active in the local community. He was completely new to some jobs, but, unless he told us that, we wouldn't have known... We discovered a new friend and we can't wait to see you again!

The three weeks we spent with Yeldos, Gulnara, Laya, and the many animals in the quiet and majestic natural environment were the best experience of our trip. We highly recommend this place to any workers considering staying here. Yeldos has clear plans not only to expand his own business, but also to develop the local community by creating jobs and supporting independence. Our work during our stay included daily care of the sheep and chickens, renovating the facilities and equipment, dismantling unnecessary items, and preparing the grounds for the installation of new containers to be used as housing. Every day we experienced new tasks, and it made us feel like we were making steady progress toward achieving our plan. Gulnara's home-cooked meals were all delicious, and we always ended up eating too much. Mealtimes were not only filled with delicious food, but also with great conversation, providing an opportunity for cultural exchange with Kazakhstan. Yeldos and Gulnara also introduced us to their friends and invited us to parties. These experiences were not only fun, but also extremely valuable, allowing us to learn about the true lives and culture of the local people of Kazakhstan. As we were on a long trip, we only had minimal clothing, but they lent us plenty of work clothes and warm winter gear and always looked after our health. The work was hard at times, but we had a truly enjoyable and fulfilling time. We hope that our stay here has been of some help to them. We hope that many more workers will continue to visit them and that the program will continue to develop. We also believe that the experience they have had here will be a lifelong treasure for them. Yeldos, Gulnara, and Laya, you will always be in our hearts. We look forward to seeing you again someday. 静かで雄大な自然の中でYeldos、Gulnara、laya、たくさんの動物達と過ごした3週間は、私たちの旅行にとって最高の経験となりました。 こちらでの滞在を検討しているワーカーがいれば、私たちは強くお勧めします。 Yeldosは自分自身の事業の拡大だけではなく、雇用の創出や独立の支援など、地域社会の発展に対して明確なプランを持っています。 私たちが滞在中の仕事は、毎日のルーチンワークである羊と鶏のお世話に加えて、施設や備品の改修作業、不用品の解体作業、新しく住宅用として使用するコンテナの設置の為の下準備などでした。 日々新しい作業を体験することができ、計画の達成に向かって確実に進んでいることを実感できました。 Gulnaraの作る家庭料理はどれもとても美味しく、いつもつい食べすぎてしまいました。食事の時間は美味しい料理だけでなく、たくさんの会話を通じて、カザフスタンとの文化交流の場でもありました。 また、YeldosとGulnaraは友人に私たちを紹介してくれたり、パーティーに招待してくれたりしました。これらの体験も、楽しいだけでなく、カザフスタンの地元の方々の本当の生活や文化を知る、とても貴重な経験となりました。 私たちは長期旅行中での滞在だった為、衣類なども最小限しかもっていませんでしたが、作業着や防寒着もたくさん貸してくれたり、いつも体調に気を配ってくれました。時にはハードワークもありましたが、本当に楽しく充実した日々を過ごすことができました。 今回の私たちの滞在が少しでも彼らの役に立てたのなら幸いです。今後も多くのワーカー達が彼らの元を訪れ、ますます発展していくことを願っています。またワーカーにとって、ここでの経験は一生の宝物になることでしょう。 Yeldos、Gulnara、laya、あなた達は私たちの心の中にずっと一緒にいます。 またいつか会える日を楽しみにしています。

Two years ago Fabien volunteered with us in the summer and we send him our warmest recommendations for other workaway experiences. He brought with him a calmness and kindness that made everyone feel very comfortable around him. In the house he showed a lot of initiative, kept on top of the work and was always happy to help with any tasks we gave him. We wish you the best of luck with your teaching and acting ventures in the future! You are of course always welcome back here anytime. Lots of love and hugs from the team at Jesper, Niky, Franzi, Tenna and Johanne.

We had the privilege of working with Mya, and her presence at our centre left a remarkable and lasting impact. She demonstrated exceptional dedication in teaching our children English and Biology, ensuring that every learner felt supported, motivated, and confident. Beyond academics, Mya played an important role in counselling individuals living with epilepsy, offering them hope, understanding, and emotional support. Her compassion, patience, and genuine care for the well-being of our community were evident in everything she did. Mya also contributed significantly to our organizational development. She designed high-quality posters for our projects, assisted with updating our website, and helped strengthen our communication and visibility. Her creativity, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile greatly improved the effectiveness of our outreach. What stood out most was her character. Mya was raised with strong values, and it showed in her kindness, humility, and respect for everyone. She listened attentively, encouraged those who were struggling, and created a warm, inclusive environment at the centre. We deeply appreciate the time she spent with us and the positive impactshe made in the lives of our children, staff, and beneficiaries. We will truly miss her and sincerely hope she will return again.

What an amazing opportunity I had right in my very first Workaway experience. Eline and Bob are incredible, such a wonderful couple with an amazing energy. And of course there’s Frodo, with his almost unlimited energy (turns out 1h30 playing with the dinosaur egg is the secret to draining his battery!). I’m truly grateful for how they welcomed me and made me feel like I lived there. I slept so well in that beautiful bed, and spent my days cooking, improving my English, and sharing lots of laughs. We’ll definitely see each other again soon. A big hug from the Brazilian baker. 🍞🇧🇷

Paulina and Charlotte were the most charming, friendly and helpful girls and it was very nice to host them. They created a pleasant atmosphere in the house. At work they have a can-do attitude and were happy to help with any work they were asked to do. They were also modest and appreciative towards us. We wish they would come back!

Ronja was very nice person, always smiling and did everything I needed. My daugter liked her as a sister. She is excellent cook. I am very glad to met her and have her in our family. I wish you all the best Ronja in your future. Best regards Miloslava

Zilli is a courteous, honest and hardworking young lady and it was a pleasure to have her around our house. She's always keen to help, and takes initiate where needed. We recommend her to other hosts, and hope she might come back for another workaway at our place!

I had a wonderful time with Ava and Marsh! They have a beautiful property and garden which was enjoyable to work in, spotting many different birds and being so close to amazing walks was great. The food was great and they were such generous hosts. Would reccommend to anybody who wants to spend time in a beautiful natural part of the world and enjoy some peace and quiet.

I was very fortunate to spend a week at Damien’s in November 2025 — what an interesting and enriching experience! Damien is like a walking encyclopaedia when it comes to Australian plants, birds, insects, the wetlands and so much more. He is incredibly passionate about his work and genuinely cares about the people, animals, and landscapes he works with. It was truly a privilege to spend time with him and work alongside him. My tasks were wonderfully varied — from helping out with different projects on the wetlands, to accompanying him on an ecological survey trip to Greens Lake, to a few gardening tasks around the house. I also got to experience several firsts: kayaking through the wetlands, sleeping in a swag under the night sky, and learning some new Australian slang :) I met some of Damien’s friends as well, and we had many deep and fascinating conversations. Damien is a real busy bee with an incredible amount of energy. Because of his active lifestyle, the house can feel a little lived-in and busy too, but it fits the rhythm of the place and you can find your own pace. And he’s a great cook! I feel very lucky to have met Damien and to have spent time in such a beautiful environment. I came away with unforgettable memories — and a new friend :) I definitely recommend staying here if you get the chance — especially if you’re a bird or wetland enthusiast!

Lidya stayed with me for ten days, and honestly, she was nothing short of amazing. From the moment she arrived, she was friendly, kind, and wonderfully easy going. We shared so many heartfelt conversations, laughed endlessly, cooked together, and even explored the market side by side. When it came to work, she exceeded every expectation I had. She helped me with content creation, conducted interviews to bring more awareness to my business, edited videos, and posted them online. She barely rested since arriving, always motivated, full of fresh ideas, and completely independent in her work. I never had to supervise her; she simply understood what needed to be done and did it beautifully. Beyond her skills, Lidya is a genuinely amazing soul, charming, positive, and a truly great guest. I feel grateful for the time she spent here and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any future host.

Silvia was one of the best WorkAwayers we have ever hosted. Her work ethic and proactiveness were truly unparalleled. She consistently delivered results far beyond what we asked, and she approached every new task with creativity and initiative, always finding smart solutions to unexpected challenges. Beyond her exceptional work, she was also extremely respectful of our rules, very quiet and discreet, yet genuinely fun and pleasant to have around. We sincerely wish she could have stayed longer. We even hoped to welcome her back, but unfortunately it won’t be possible this time. We honestly envy anyone who will have the chance to host her in the future, whether through WorkAway or in any other context. Silvia is a rare gem, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

Caley is a warm and likable girl. I felt very at ease having her stay with us. She is smart and a wonderful teacher. Her friend, Isaura, is cheerful and lovely. Having them with us for two weeks was truly wonderful.

Staying with Malvina was a wonderful experience. Her place is located right in the middle of the forest, surrounded by beautiful nature, which made our time there very peaceful and inspiring. Malvina herself is extremely kind, generous, and attentive. She never left us alone in difficult situations and always made sure we felt comfortable and supported. The work was mostly hands-on and quite varied, which made it fun and interesting to learn new skills. We felt very welcomed from the first day, enjoyed the warm atmosphere, and ended up staying longer than we originally planned. We are truly grateful for the experience and highly recommend Malvina as a Workaway host.

I had a great stay with very nice people, in a nice place with a stunning nature around. Kylie could be anytime a tour guide, she knows well Tasmania and she offered me few road trips around Devonport. I have nothing to complain and I recommend this host to anyone. Constantin, November 2025

It was just the best having Harry here! He was so self motivated, used his common sense and just got on. He cleared much overgrowh, rotovated parts of the veg garden and sowed seeds. Once he'd finished a job he asked what to do next rather than standing around looking at his phone! This is a rare occurence and a breath of fresh air for us. We didn't see much of him while he was here, he was either working out on the property or, because he had his own car was off out somewhere. We like to take workaways out on trips but had a transport problem so weren't able to do that. During meals though he joined in the conversation and was always positive, plenty of interesting things to tell us. And very respectful and polite. Harry is welcome back anytime.
