Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Wow what a workaway! My friend Eloise and I spent just over two weeks at Esmeralda and Gilles' house and it was truly beautiful. The house, the people, the animals, the FOOD! Esmeralda is a very beautifully strong woman she is clear with her communication and what she wants, Gilles is the kindest, most gentle person you'll ever meet, they make such a great team. The work really varied from indoor and outdoor jobs depending on your preferance. We also loved the company of the other workawayers Andy and Evelyn and of course the dogs and cat Sara, Sebas and Heis. We will miss everyone and hope you return in the future.

stayed for a bit more then two weeks at rémi's and françoise home and wow, it was such a memorible and special experience. I got to know a lovely area in France, taste delicious and special food including that of Françoise. And most of all, get to know this lovely couple. The room and infrastructure were very comfortable and the work was varied and not too hard. I enjoyed it very much, thank you!! (:

Herbert is such a lovely person and I had a great workaway here in Villach. Although it was only a week, I saw such a sense of community in the space and met lots of lovely people. Thank you Herbert for having me.

We had an amazing 11-day stay with Rosa on her beautiful, hidden property just outside Aljezur. Rosa and her two dogs, Jambu and Nola, welcomed us warmly, and we got to stay in a freshly renovated green caravan — such a lovely little home! Our tasks were varied and enjoyable: enhancing the garden, removing dead trees, building a mini raised bed, sanding and painting the new terrace and outdoor kitchen, planting some yuccas, cacti, and banana plants, and creating natural fences for her small huts. Rosa gave us plenty of freedom in choosing when and how to work, which made the experience very relaxed. Nola, the playful 5-month-old puppy, and sleepy Jambu made our stay even more fun. Rosa is a wonderful host — kind, flexible, and welcoming. We felt completely at home and would have loved to stay longer. This was a truly memorable Workaway experience!

Kaden was excellent to have on our farm. Great personality, very open and respectful. A self starter with an eye for details & an attitude that wants to help. He would be an asset to any future opportunity. Very thankful for his time on our farm.

We stayed in Brugge with Kristel for one week. She was our first workaway host we've ever had and ofcourse it was really good time. We could experience some new culture in her very welcoming house and also explore every corner of Brugge which is really beautyfull city . Working with her on their apartment wasn't really hard because we could get as much help from her as we needed as first-time workawayers. We would like to thank Kristel for such pleasant time!

Marketa was with us for one month and participated in gardening tasks and helped with the olive harvest. She got on well with other workawayers that were also with us.

I stayed here for two months, and Olga and Ole welcomed me like family. They made sure I took breaks so I wouldn’t get too tired during work, and they always gave me plenty of delicious food. The tasks weren’t difficult, and even though it was my first time working on a farm, I was able to learn everything quickly. The animals were so friendly, and it was really hard to say goodbye to them when I left. These two months were truly special and became an unforgettable memory for me!

This was my first Workaway and my first solo trip, and staying with Megumi-san’s family truly felt like a home away from home. I couldn’t recommend this experience more. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely cared for. Megumi-san was so attentive and kind—recommending places to visit, cooking amazing meals, and even encouraging me to try natto… which I promise I’ll keep trying! On my last day, Papa-san even took me skiing—despite the long drive and it being early in the season. They still went out of their way to make my stay special, and that meant so much to me. The kids made the experience unforgettable, and I’ll miss them so much. Miku is so bright, hilarious, and such a good big sister to Sora and Sera—you forget she’s only four. Sera is incredibly funny, always caring for her “babies” and even putting your slippers back on for you. And Sora is so joyful, with the cutest laugh and even cuter dance moves. This family is truly wonderful, and my time with them was better than I could have hoped for. I’m so grateful for the experience and will carry these memories with me for a long time.

I spent two weeks at Kriska’s farm, and it was a very good and productive time. We did many things, such as cleaning the stable where the horses live, maintaining the place where the chickens would stay during the winter, removing shrubs and branches, and other daily activities, which gave me the opportunity to learn new things. Kriska was always grateful for the work we did she constantly thanked us and said we did a good job, which is nice when someone recognizes your effort. She took us to visit Kapplen, Eckernförde, and the Christmas market, where we drank Glühwein, a typical winter drink, and also to Arnis, the smallest town in Germany. She always made sure we got to know the local towns, which enriched the experience beyond the work. She shared the best Christmas sweets and cake, as well as the healthy food she makes. Living and working with the other workers was also very enjoyable and helped make everything even better. We played games, watched movies, and had snacks. Time passed so quickly, but it was definitely a great stay in the north.

Sophie joined us for a couple of weeks and mucked in with the others we had staying. We enjoyed her visit and as usual learned a lot about her life and interests. She participated in all the activities on offer.

I absolutely loved my time with Bishwo and Lena. When I first arrived in Nepal I was welcomed so warmly & felt so at ease with these guys. Over the month I spent I working on the project I also made momos, took part in the festival, witnessed religious rituals, had wonderful cultural conversations, tried so much Nepali food, and had Bishwo’s special tour of the city. I will never forget the openness and kindness of Bishwo and Lena. I am awestruck by their dedication to their amazing project, it’s very contagious. The work is challenging in the best way, I started off with no clue but learnt so many things along the way. Bishwo and Lena care deeply about the volunteers and are organised, supportive, and caring. I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Nepal❤️🙏 I can’t wait to visit again

Beeka joined us on 31st August and stayed until the finish of the olive harvest which took place during the last week of November. We don't normally have people stay for this long. Beeka became part of our family helping with too many tasks to list. She learnt outdoor painting skills and carried out gardening tasks like turning the compost heap, pricking out seedlings, planting garlic, construction of a brassica net cage, weeding and tree pruning amongst other things. She got on with other Workawayers that joined us along the way. Beeka came along to an evening watercolour class with me, Karen, down in the town once a week. We loved having her here with us.

Claire is an excellent person; she was always willing to help us; the students and teachers loved her classes. Claire is very responsable, proactive, she is always helping people to get solutions, and she is always happy. We highly recommend her as a teacher and friend. Claire was helping us for two weeks so we really apreciate all her help. We are gonna miss you Claire, amiga 🙏❤️

Our stay with Maria and Pedro was truly wonderful. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed in their home in Vila Nova de Milfontes. They treated us to delicious homemade Portuguese meals, cozy evenings by the fireplace, and the company of their two lovely dogs, Picu and Morna. Our tasks were simple and enjoyable: cutting back reeds, stacking some firewood, cleaning the house exterior, trimming hedges and trees, and mowing the lawn. The workload was light, and we worked at a relaxed pace over four days. Maria and Pedro also took great care to make our stay special — Pedro even brought us to a local concert in Sines, and Anni had the chance to bake fresh bread and a cake for everyone. We felt completely at home and were sad to already leave after one week (since we already made other plans before). Maria and Pedro are wonderful hosts, and we highly recommend staying with them!

first at all, two wonderful people live in house. Mr.Gregor is very playful ans full of fun! and taught me a lot about Germany. Sandra is incredibly kind and so lovely! her smile makes everyone feel at ease. During my stay, both of them respected my time and taught me many things about German culture and etiquette. They cooked a delicious dinner for me and introduced me to their relatives. I also got to meet many ppeople and spend enjoyable time together, which made my stay even more memorable. Their home is beautiful. if you need your own space and a peaceful rest, staying here will be a great choice :)

Lilly is one of a kind, so smart you don’t even need to tell her what to do! She always knows what she’s doing. Added allot to our hostel. Social and her beautiful smile is always there

What can we say about this amazing experience! Jimmy and Maca are great hosts and the location is truly magical. The stars at night are amazing, its so peaceful and such a calm place to spend some time. We could only stay for 3 weeks but would have loved to stay longer if we could. Yes, its not the easiest place to live as its quite a walk into Sauce Village to buy food and the walk back can seem long at first, but is so worth it for the tranquility and great nights sleep you'll get. The work was varied, relaxed and easy going. We both thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to truly get away from civilisation.

We hosted Lenny and Soalie for a month and a half and loved having them here. They were very friendly, easy-going, and helped us immensely with babysitting our daughter — she still asks for them! They also made a beautiful piece of furniture that fits perfectly in our bedroom. It’s so special to have it, and it will always remind us of them. Lenny’s crochet work is gorgeous, and it was lovely hearing Soalie play the piano. We were sad to see them leave and would welcome them back anytime. 💚
