Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Andreas was a great help to us during his stay. Happy to join in with others and also to work independently. He might not have the best skill level but with lots of enthusiasm and a great sense of humour, he's a pleasure to have on the team. Good luck with your future travels and hope to meet up in the new year 🎉 🙏🏽

Hola querida Chi! I’m sorry it took me some time to reply, Xi. I’ve been in Norway for a while, but being back home reminded me how much we miss you here. You truly brought something special to our team. Your positive energy, your smile, your kindness, and your willingness to help made every day better. We learned so much from you and your culture, and travel experience, and the way you connected with the students. Even though English isn’t your first language, you shared your knowledge with so much clarity and confidence. We were very lucky to have you with us. Thank you for your honest feedback as well. Living in a small rural area means that some days we have to choose between picking up leaves or dealing with maintenance issues caused by the humidity — but we are improving all the time. Now that I’m back, we’re fumigating regularly, and I already feel the rooms for volunteers are much better cared for. I truly hope we can welcome you back one day so you can see the changes for yourself. And to anyone reading this: we highly recommend this wonderful human. If you have the chance to host her as a volunteer, consider yourself very lucky.

There are not enough superlatives to describe my experience with Kat! Motivated, hardworking, always willing to go the extra mile and provide suggestions. We completed sheep fencing, repaired gate and fencing,tended the animals together, and Kat helped get the lawns undercontrol. Kat, an absolute pleasure to have you stay with me! We went on some mini adventures, and Kat's visit was over to soon. And on the last day when I was working at the community shop, Kat cleaned my house and yard from top to bottom. A departure gift was also very much appreciated. So thank you Kat, from the bottom of my heart. I hope you get to go on your next adventure very soon!

Joshua, what a great guy you are. Humble and hardworking. I really enjoyed both your company and your stories of life's experiences. Your ability to understand the tasks given to you and your need to make and do things to the best of your ability was great. We at the House thank you for your contribution. This feedback is also for Trixie your girlfriend. Trixie, thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to getting stuff done. You are a fantastic individual with strength and kindness. We both hope to see you both in the future. Good luck with your adventure ❤️

I loved my time staying with Violeta and her family on their beautiful farm. The work was really fun and varied, I especially liked the olive harvesting. The family are very warm and welcoming and helpful to me when trying to learn new language. The pets are also adorable! I would highly recommend and I can’t wait to go back ☺️

Francesco was an excellent volunteer. He is a curious, respectful person, always ready to learn and happy to share his knowledge. We had the pleasure of hosting him for two weeks, and his presence was truly a joy. He helped with the final steps of building our refuge and never hesitated to roll up his sleeves. He is also a very good cook! We highly recommend Francesco to any host. His enthusiasm, reliability, and positive energy will be helpfull to any project. Flo, Feli, Choco, Dora and both of us wish him a wonderful journey. You are always welcome here, Francesco!

Thank you Mikky and Hermis for staying with us in Montenegro last spring (and apologies for the late feedback!). It was a true pleasure having you both in our little farm, you guys are much fun! Thanks for all the little projects you did around the farm (painting, gardening, etc), you guys are always happy to do anything that needs to be done, and you do it well and with a smile! And on top of that we had wonderful time having interesting conversations and playing music and singing together, which was a bonus! I would really recommend those guys, they are very trustworthy and we enjoyed a lot their company. We hope to host them again in our next place in France! Alexandra

I spent two weeks here and really enjoyed the work and the tranquillity. The cats and dogs there are all super sweet - I would love to come back and adopt one! I spent my time outside of the morning shift (approx. 2hr but could be longer if plants needed watering) and evening shift (approx.1.5hr) chilling with some of the dogs and reading my book. If you have a car then it is easy to drive to lots of lovely beaches and waterfalls. If you don't have a car then Iris and Chris will help you figure out the buses. We also went to the local market with them a couple of times and went for a short hike to a waterfall as well. They provided food staples as well as fruit and veggies for us to cook/eat as we wanted.

We really enjoyed the two weeks that we stayed with Hedwige and Maurizio and we felt welcomed into their home from the day that we arrived. Our tasks mainly invovled helping out around the house, gardening and completing maintenance work, with Hedwige always explaining clearly to us what we had to do. We loved every meal that we shared with them- the food was delicious and was often made with fruit and vegetables they had grown themselves. We also enjoyed the interesting conversations we had and the opportunity they gave us to learn about Italian/French culture. Hedwige and Maurizio were both very kind and generous and we are grateful to have had such a wonderful Workaway experience.

Ali volunteered with us at the school as a teacher’s assistant, and we are very happy to recommend him! He brought a positive attitude, reliability, and genuine interest in language learning and teaching, which made him a great addition to our team. He supported our language classes by helping students feel more confident during activities and participated actively in classroom interactions, especially in our beginner and conversation groups. Ali was respectful, open-minded, and eager to learn about Polish culture while also sharing his own background in a way that enriched the learning environment for everyone. We truly appreciated his time and contribution — any school or educational project would be lucky to have him! Thank you, Ali, and we wish you all the best in your future adventures! The School Team

I was fortunate enough to experience 23 days of volunteering in Iceland, which far exceeded my expectations. I was welcomed by an extraordinary family: Mom Gígja and Dad Ásgeir are wonderful, warm, and attentive people, who made me feel at home from day one. The presence of their four dogs and two cats made everything even more special. The daily work was enjoyable and well-organized, always carried out in an atmosphere of mutual respect and collaboration. Gígja and Ásgeir were extremely available to teach me new things, share their culture with me, and make every moment meaningful. We also did several activities together that I will remember fondly: we swam in a pool with relaxing saunas and went on a crazy ATV ride, experiences that made everything even more fantastic and fun. Even though my English wasn't perfect, our connection was natural, spontaneous, and beautiful, like that of the best families. During these 23 days, I felt like a son, welcomed with sincere and selfless affection. Over time, a wonderful friendship was born, deep and authentic, which I will always cherish. I recommend this volunteering experience to anyone who desires something authentic, human, and enriching. I will forever cherish the memory of Gígja, Ásgeir, and their wonderful family. And, of course, I look forward to welcoming them back to my home, hoping to be able to reciprocate at least in part all the kindness and affection they have given me. A simply unforgettable experience!

Our stay at Mickeys place really was amazing. We had so mouch fun helping out on the off grid farm in the middle of the jungle. No internet no electricity just you and the white noise of the jungle and it's beautiful animals, insects, plants, waterfalls and so mouch more. the property itself is sooo nice you feel a bit like you're in heaven. the cabins are comfy and the shared area with a kitchen has everything you need. The work was also nice, it can get a bit exhausting sometimes but for us it felt more like a way of learning and connecting with nature. (we built garden beds and made chocolate from scratch) Mickey himself is a very nice calm and reflected person, even though he listens to German hard tech😂 The talks we had with him felt meaningful and interesting. The farm is close to a small village with a nice local community plus a supermarket and restaurant with WIFI. The locals are super welcoming and many offer services souch as washing your clothes or some sell things like fish or eggs. if you feel like it just ask Mickey about it. We'd recommend Mickey's farm for those who want to reconnect with nature and themselves:) Emma&Benji

I'm very happy that my journey cross this place and that I could met every one there, so much beautifull biodiversity in any kind. If you are looking for a peacefull place full of energy, that's one of them, if you are looking for honesty, open mindness, raw nature proximity and a healthy way of life for your body mind and soul, that's a place to visit. But don't go there if you want to hide, this kind of place drags you deep inside youself anyway, here you will get through many emotions and you will get to know you better. Help yourself! ✌️💚

My time at Marta's dog shelter was great! Álvaro and Marta were very welcoming, which made me feel at home right away. The work was as described in the profile. My favourite part of the day was always cuddling with the dogs! My time at the dog shelter definitely left a lasting impression on me. The work Marta does every day is really not easy and requires a lot of perseverance. She has created a wonderful place for dogs that, for various reasons, don't have a home. I can only recommend helping out at Marta's. I would really love to come back!

Amber and Perry are wonderful people. They have extensive knowledge of the region. We didn’t have a car, and they took us on several trekking trips; Perry showed us the local fire station, and we also went out to eat together. The ranch is beautifully located among mountains and forests. If you enjoy peace and nature, it will be the perfect choice for you. There are plenty of hiking trails around the ranch. The combination of the place and the people creates a fantastic atmosphere. As for working hours, Amber is flexible. You can also meet other people — we met Alice, and we already miss her! Amber, Perry — thank you for giving us the opportunity to stay at the ranch.

I had an amazing stay at Jospeh's Finca! It is such peaceful place. Joseph is a really welcoming and genuinely nice person! He always made sure if everything is alright and I had everything I needed. I got introduced to some of his friends, which I really appreciate. The work were different things in the garden (planting, harvesting, remove weeds, dig up vegetable beds) or as well in the house. For example I also upcycled two items. It always depended on the day what tasks I had. The food his mother and law cooked was amazing, really delicious! Estepona is a nice city and it's easy to reach other cities like Cadiz or Granada from there. I would highly recommend to stay with Joseph and his family!

Camille and Romain were hard working and fun to be around. They helped in the garden, workshop, and kitchen with big smiles. We would recommend them to any host. Thanks guys!

Duygu is great, she shared her wonderful yoga teaching skills with us and her insights on life, she also worked hard with all the tasks she was given, joined in with all the activites and got on well with all, making a possitive contribution, we can recomend her to any host

Do not miss the chance to visit Slim's place! I had the time of my life at this beautiful oasis of a farm which is jam packed with beautiful art and projects by past workawayers! Together Slim and I collaborated on organising and running permculture events for the community and school children. The two weeks flew by and didn't feel like work at all - I was painting, drawing, crafting and writing up lesson plans. I never went hungry either - his wife Ons served up the most incredible Tunisian dishes and Slim brought me a pastry every morning. Their daughter is also the sweetest baby alive! I felt very welcomed into the family, but also enjoyed having the luxury of own space on the farm during my stay, with my own bedroom, kitchen and outdoor toilets. The town of Mornag is close to the mountain Djebel Ressas and the ruins of Outna which I visited during my stay. The beautiful beachs of Hammamet and ceramics of Neubel are also a close trip away. All in all I feel grateful to have made such an amazing friendship with Slim and Ons, going on adventures and sharing knowledge about our countries, music and delicious food.
