Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Anne & Grahame were the best hosts I could've asked for during my stay in Cork. Their home was warm and welcoming, and taking care of Grace and Jessie was an absolute honor. Despite going through an extremely difficult and emotional challenge for all of us during my stay, the family was so incredibly thoughtful and supportive. I will always feel like I have a home with them in Cork, and would very warmly recommend this Workaway to anyone considering it. I'm so grateful Anne reached out when she did, and everything aligned for us to meet. Thanks for everything, Anne & Grahame. I can't wait to see you again in Cork, or anywhere else in the world.

Nicole is a sweet, gentle, and soft-spoken young woman who made a meaningful impact on both our guests and volunteers. During her six weeks with us, she reliably hosted activities such as hikes, movie nights, braai nights, and market days. She listens attentively, takes instruction well, and carries out her responsibilities with genuine care.Though not the loudest voice in the room, Nicole’s calm, positive presence brings warmth wherever she goes. As she continues to grow, we believe that expressing herself a little more openly, especially in group settings, will help build her confidence and further develop the leadership potential she naturally has. She gets along effortlessly with everyone and creates a welcoming atmosphere around her. We’re truly grateful for the light she brought to our hostel and wish her all the best on her journey ahead. :)

Clare and Jake are a breath of fresh air. They are bright, interested, respectful and caring. They really were a pleasure to live with. They worked really hard for me and did everything expected of them and we're always offering help in their own time if help was needed. They cook quite well and left the kitchen clean and tidy. They loved the animals and the animals loved them back. We ate together most evenings and the conversations were varied and interesting and they both had their skills to share. They made an amazing Thanks Giving meal which was enjoyed by us and friends. I can honestly say it was a pleasure to host both of them.

A lovely cozy week with Lesley at her grand old home in a quaint village just outside Paris, a simple train ride away. Everyone at Chez Lesley was kind and welcoming, I learned a lot about France/UK, I felt well taken care of at all times, and the work was fun, easygoing and flexible. Thanks so much!

It was my first workaway and it couldn't have been better. I helped in the garden and household, painted the bathroom, introduced the family to german food and made house- and pet sitting the last days of my stay. I also had my first canadian Halloween experience. The whole family is very lovely and the pets as well. Especially the dogs.

We stayed with Ybo and Chantal for one week together with our two children and had a very good experience. The place is beautiful and peaceful, located in the mountains. It can get quite cold, especially in the winter months, so a gas heater is definitely recommended if you come with a campervan as we did. Whenever problems arose, such as the hot shower not working, Chantal and Ybo were quick to respond and tried immediately to fix the situation. We got along very well with both hosts, and our children also connected easily and had a great time together. The tasks were varied, enjoyable, and never too difficult. We appreciated the balance between work and free time and felt comfortable and welcomed throughout our stay. Thank you for a wonderful week.

Even though I could stay for less than a week, I saw right through this hostel's values and qualities. Here they respect most of all honesty and trust. Jacob was lovely and always caring about how volunteers and guests were feeling. If you are looking for an environment where you're not just part of the staff, this is the place for you.

Olivier and Colette are one of the best hosts I have ever had. They are very welcoming and interesting people. I especially loved the breakfast together in the morning and Olivier's jazz and Classic music. The place is lovely, it overlooks the carribean sea, i slept in one of their dream cabins which are very cosy and romantic at night. It is a special place with special people that are in my heart. I highly recommend them!

It was so nice staying at the Farm and Danis House. I had a wonderful time here. I helped with the heating map in the greenhouse, decorating the museum for Christmas in the Village, took Nala, Percy and the goats for a walk and helped trim the goats hooves. I had funny puzzle evenings with Dani. Thank you again for the stay and the lovely gift. If I'm ever coming back to New Brunswick I will stop by at your place.

Willow spent almost a month with us... and now it feels strange that she is not around. A master chef in her first steps, she gave lots of color to our food. And not only that. She helped with painting, with cleaning, with planting... She was also very interested in the local culture, asking questions, learning Greek, interacting with the locals and making friends. She shared stories and discussed all kind of topics. I think we will be seeing her back here at some point :)

Norah was with us for some ten days. Active, positive and enthusiastic, she put a lot of energy in everything that she did. She became part of the team really quickly and assisted with anything she was asked to. Thank you so much!

Laura stayed here for two weeks and it was of great help. She assisted with everything. The permaculture garden, the kitchen, the cleaning, the sweet potato harvest. We went swimming and went hiking together. She did great with the rest of the team. A kind and respectful person. Super-tidy and aware of her surroundings. It was a pleasure to have met her.

I spent 3.5 months in the last Summer in Bardu at Oles' campsite and it was one of my best workaway experience ever. Wonderful nature with a generous host, Ole is very helpful and friendly. I was responsible for cleaning, and I also managed some checkin/checkout, light maintenance work around the campsite. I met many interesting people from all around the world and it was nice to explore the gorgeous landscapes and hikes of Norway around. Advantage if you like being alone - there can be lonely times- and you can work independently. Thank you Ole for making me feel home 😊 Dotty

I spent 3 wonderful months at Anne & Pino’s. This was my first Workaway experience and I couldn’t ask for better. I had zero farm experience when I came here and I learned a lot about plants, vegetables, weeding, gardening, feeding animals etc. The location is beautiful, you see mountains everywhere, the air is fresh and clean and there is no noise at all. It’s so peaceful. I had my own apartment. The food was always very delicious and plenty, I was never hungry. They always gave me a ride to Assisi/back home, if I needed. They have a lot of animals: goats, donkeys, turkeys, chickens, ducks, cats and two beautiful dogs Trex and Tescio. I also met their family and friends, some very nice local people and friendly Airbnb guests. Last but not least, I would like to thank to Anne & Pino for the hospitality and for these amazing months we have spent together. You treated me as a family member, not as a simply Workawayer. I will always be grateful for the time I spent with you. I’m sure I will come back to visit you.

My stay at Catherine's house (it was my first stay organized on workaway) was absolutely amazing. Her profile was accurate and gave me a good idea of what to expect from the very start. Communication with Catherine was easy and straightforward, she is a very direct and honest person which I appreciate. She is a skilled conversationalist and a good listener that doesn't rush to fill a silence and instead chooses her words and inspires you to do the same. (It helps that there is also always a delicious cheese plate nearby if you need a moment to think about the reply) On a free day I visited the farmers market in Laragne, which I can only recommend to everybody who is visiting. Catherine provided me with a bike and good instructions for directions and the local cuisine. Additionally, she was a big help with the local bus and train system to figure out the best way and time for my departure, giving ideas and inside knowledge. I also enjoyed walks with her dog, Simone - if you have the opportunity to do the same, I would recommended you take it as the nature around the house is beautiful.

We stayed with Salona and her family for less than a week and had a wonderful experience. She was incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and full of enthusiasm. She’s also a fantastic cook and even taught us a tofu recipe we’ll be using often. Her family is still settling into their new home, so we helped with organizing the kitchen, doing dishes, sorting toys, organizing the garage, clearing out and tidying storage rooms, and taking recycling to the dump site. The work was straightforward, and communication was always smooth. Overall, we had a great time and would highly recommend this host. Salona makes you feel right at home, and we’re so grateful that she was our first Workaway experience.

It was a pleasure to host Conner and Padra. They were sweet and pleasant to work with, very sincere and diligent with their tasks. We had just moved into the house and needed so much help organizing and they stepped and helped us tremendously. Much appreciated.

Ariel and Oren arrived towards the end of grape harvest which was great to have an extra pair of hands when we had a record year. After harvest they helped enormously with clearing land which had many brambles and mimosa trees .They worked hard in a team and achieved a great deal. They were polite and always on time for work . It was a shame they could not talk in English at the dinner table as it was difficult for others to understand their language. We wish them well in the future

Sophia is a cheerful,positive, and ponctual person who is very thorough in her work. She is autonomous but also knows how to work well in a team. She handled cleaning, preparing cabins, laundry, breakfast service, and check-in / check-out with exeptional care and efficiency. She is versatile and has exellent rapport with clients. She loves a challenge, and hard work doesn't scare her. She's a rare gem and is full energy. You can trust her completly.

Burke and Frankie were a true delight to host. Burke's attention to detail and ability to work self guided was wonderful and allowed me to work on the bonus projects that I never get to. Burke showed a true interest in all of the projects we had going on and was able to integrate with our large community and visitors with ease. Not only did she provide work but also gave back when it came to meals and other extra curricular items that are not expected out of volunteers. Frankie, the dog was also a breeze to host. No barking, no messes, well behaved and stole all of our hearts. We hope to see them again!
