Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Antonia stayed with us for about two weeks, during that time she assisted us with all sorts of tasks on our farm, we have only good memories and good things to say about Antonia, she is welcome to stay with us again anytime! Five stars from us

We absolutely loveddd our time with Penne, Blair, Rob and Lynda. One week wasn't enough! Their house and gardens are gorgeous - just spending time working there (with Truffles of course) was a treat. We just felt so welcomed, relaxed and at-home here and hope to be back in the future! The best Workaway experience we have had!

I volunteered here for close to two months, and the experience was nothing short of amazing! Mama Riki is a wonderful host—kind, considerate, and full of knowledge and insight on travel, culture, and life. You truly learn so much from her. The staff were incredibly kind and always willing to help. You get the chance to learn the local language, Chichewa, and work closely with Malawian people, making it a rich and meaningful cultural exchange. Felix, the manager, was very supportive and always ready to help whenever I got stuck. And Chef Peter—his meals were amazing, and the vibes during downtime were always great. The work was flexible, which worked perfectly for me as I was volunteering part-time. We agreed on flexible hours, and I had my own room for the entire stay. The lake is right there, with beautiful views you get to enjoy every day. I helped with designing bedsheets and linen, upcycling materials (which was really cool to see in action), kitchen cleaning and prep, and occasionally assisted at the bar and with technical tasks. Overall, a solid 10/10 experience. Zikomo kwambiri! 💛

They're a lovely family! Since the very first moment they make you to feel as part of theirs. It's a good place to live a slow life and to connect deeper with the Nepali culture. Thank you so much fam for the week shared! See you next time 💚

We had a wonderful, restorative time with Mark and Maz. They truly embody the spirit of workaway - generosity, sharing knowledge, open-heartedness and fun. Their home is stunning, full of birdsong, flowers and bright stars at night. I loved learning about the incredible work Mark has been doing to restore nature to his little corner of Motueka, and appreciated his passion and willingness to teach us. Our accommodation was comfortable and we had all the basics for cooking tasty meals. If you suffer from bad hayfever, make sure you bring anti-histamines! Thank you so much Mark and Maz for a wonderful experience, I hope to visit again one day!

Russ and Rachel are very kind and generous, they took us in with open arms and immediately we felt at home! They have a beautiful house with nature all around it, with Wallabys hopping around in the mornings and evenings and birds feeding in the troths. The fridge was always stacked and we usually ate dinner together, which was always great. We did some gardening, helped clear the area around the house from stones and wood, and remodeled the driveway to make it more weather proof. We also helped Russ take images of coral skeletons for science communication. We absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend this Workaway, we would do it again in a heartbeat. We wish them both the absolute best and hope to see you soon, who knows, maybe in Europe;)

Mish and Nige are the most welcoming and kind hosts. Their enthusiasm and dedication to protect and restore the land is very inspiring, and it's incredible to see the difference their efforts have made in just a few years. The area is such a beautiful nature haven and feels so alive. You're surrounded by bird song, native plant species, and peaceful spots to do yoga or meditate. The work was varied and interesting, and I especially appreciated that the reasoning and value behind what we were doing was always explained to us beforehand. The pre/post work meditations that Mish led and delicious nourishing meals were definitely highlights! The structure of this workaway allows you to meet other volunteers and creates a nice and sociable atmosphere - which is perfect if you're travelling alone! I highly recommend this workaway for anyone who loves nature and wants to learn about conservation in NZ. Thank you so much Mish and Nige for your wonderful hospitality and energy, I wish you all the best for the future and hope to visit again one day!

It was lovely to host Fabio and Emilie, they were pleasant and good workers, very self sufficient and a delight to be around- I only wish we had gotten to do more cooking together!

It was an absolute pleasure hosting Kerri for a month. She is so easy-going, kind, respectful, and patient, and my son loved her. She really communicated with him on his level, showed genuine interest in his interests, and was a lot of fun. She appreciated the small things about life in our village, which made her an easy guest and a pleasure to be around. She was tidy and organised, and among other tasks, valiantly took on the cleaning and organising all our Lego, which was no mean feat! She is a brilliant artist and some lovely paintings of the area, two of which she gifted us and are now in the guest room welcoming other workawayers. We also hosted her boyfriend for a couple of days, and he was lovely too. Thanks Kerri, and hope to host you another time in the future.

Jake was delightful to host, a good working and a gentle soul. The dogs and puppies loved him and they are a good judge of character. I wish him all the best on his travels

Daisy was wonderful! She was an absolute perfect fit for our project. She worked hard and contributed much joy to our community. She shared her musical talent as well as her artistic talent by painting us a beautiful mural on the outside of one of our buildings! She is also quite a good cook and made us a few delicious meals. She would be an asset to any project and I cannot recommend her highly enough. We hope she comes back soon!!

My time at the sanctuary was amazing!! It felt great to be doing work that makes a positive impact, and everything was very well managed. I feel very lucky to have experienced the sanctuary, and will cherish the memories and friendships I made here.

I volunteered at this hotel for 6 weeks and had an amazing time! The work was clearly explained, easy to manage, and shift swaps were always possible, which made everything very flexible. Amy and Ken are wonderful hosts — always reachable, friendly and supportive. It was also great that there were always several volunteers around, which created a fun and social atmosphere. The hotel is located in a very peaceful and quiet spot directly on the beach, and Dominical is a charming, beautiful town with an amazing vibe. My absolute highlight was going to the beach every day with the dogs and the other volunteers 🐶🌊 I highly recommend this place - hopefully I can come back soon 🌞

Ponctuelle et efficace, Manon est de bonne composition et toujours agréable. Elle a réalisé toutes les tâches demandées, même les plus fatigantes, sous le regard attentif des oies gardiennes 😉 Très autonome et curieuse, elle a su profiter de son séjour pour découvrir l'île et la Guadeloupe.

Accueillir Josée a été un grand plaisir pour nous comme pour les animaux et les plantes, dont elle a pris grand soin ! La travail en extérieur ne lui fait pas peur: elle a accompli avec rigueur toutes les tâches, même les plus fatigantes. Elle en a même fait plus que ce que nous attendions! C'est quelqu'un sur qui on peut compter: nous avons apprécié de pouvoir partir quelques jours en lui confiant toute la maisonnée. Toujours souriante, elle a ajouté une note sympathique à nos pique-niques et parties de pétanque. Son séjour s'est tellement bien passé, que nous avons été ravis de l'accueillir une seconde fois! Welcoming Josée was a great pleasure for us, as well as for the animals and plants, which she cared for so well! She wasn't afraid of working outdoors: she diligently completed all the tasks, even the most tiring ones. She even did more than we expected! She's someone we can rely on: we appreciated being able to go away for a few days and entrusting her with the entire household. Always smiling, she added a cheerful touch to our picnics and games of pétanque. Her stay went so well that we were delighted to welcome her back!

I had a truly wonderful one-month stay here, from mid-November to mid-December. Nicoletta and Carlo were absolutely amazing hosts, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The work, which involved approximately 3–5 hours per day (depending on the weather, piano piano), was relaxing and a great way to stay connected to nature. Working alongside Paolo was a particularly great experience. The place is beautiful, clean, and the animals are lovely and social. I had a very pleasant and memorable time. I highly recommend this experience to future Workawayers!

I stayed with Monica family for few weeks and it was perfect! One of my best places i visited in Korea. Her daughters are adorable, very polite and welcoming. Thanks for yr hospitality Monica. I hope we can meet again in the future.

Maz and I really enjoyed hosting such two lovely helpful people. They were both kind, reliable, enthusiastic and we would highly recommend them to any host.

Shanti really helped out with our forest based art trail and making a cob bench with our summer camp. She also helped put on a show. It's a non -profit camp. She had a lot of fun and worked great with everyone.
