Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Esta ha sido una de las experiencias de voluntariado más hermosas en las que he participado. El proyecto corresponde perfectamente a la descripción y se desarrolla en un lugar maravilloso, rodeado de naturaleza. Ricardo me recibió desde el primer momento con mucha alegría, haciéndome sentir inmediatamente parte de su grupo de amigos, super simpaticos. Juntos fuimos a una cascada preciosa cerca del río, una experiencia realmente inolvidable. Tuve la oportunidad de participar en todas las etapas más importantes de la producción del cacao: desde la limpieza de los árboles de una plaga, hasta la cosecha de los frutos y su apertura. Probé el jugo de cacao fresco y, finalmente, la parte más esperada: la producción del chocolate, que además tuvieron la amabilidad de dejarme llevar conmigo! Yacky, la mamá de Riki, cocinó platos deliciosos y siempre fue muy atenta y respetuosa con mi alimentación vegetariana. Fue maravilloso poder ver cómo se prepara y probar el pan de yuca casero. Lamentablemente no me sentí bien, quiero agradecerles de corazón por haberme hecho sentir parte de la familia incluso en un momento difícil, por haber cuidado de mí con mucha paciencia, atención y cariño. Muchas gracias a Yacky, Riki y Marcelo por esta experiencia tan auténtica y humana. 💛

Charles was a lovely guy, who helped us split some wood & clear weeds from our fence line for 2 days. He managed to see quite a bit of this beautiful area we live in and he was friendly and communicated well.

Patricia nos alojó durante dos semanas en Navidad y Año Nuevo. Fue especialmente lindo pasar las fiestas con ella y su familia y sentirnos tan bienvenidos. Estamos muy agradecidxs con ella por eso. Al principio estábamos un poco inseguros por las respuestas tan cortas que recibíamos. ¡Pero no dejen que eso los desanime! Durante nuestra estancia cosechamos frutillas, reparamos tuberías de agua, armamos pilas de compost, podamos plantas, cuidamos a los animales, ayudamos a cocinar mermeladas y mucho más. Si uno no se sentía cómodo con una tarea, Pati siempre tenía una alternativa preparada. El horario de trabajo estaba claramente regulado y se podía negociar todo bien con ella. Pati siempre tiene una palabra motivadora y cariñosa para uno. Al principio esperábamos ser los únicos voluntarios, pero al final resultamos ser siete. Hay que estar preparadx para dormir en una habitación compartida y compartir la casa con una gata. Fue un tiempo muy bonito y no nos resultó fácil despedirnos. ¡Gracias, Pati!

Mike is a legend! Hands down one of the best workawayers I've ever had. He is smart, hardworking and a really kind and nice person. Thanks, Mike!!!

Hambo and Flo-rider are the perfect workwayers! They are really great people and always gave their best. They took on many tasks and completed them all to a high level of quality. They'd be welcomed back anytime.

Paris and Jarid are great people and perfect workawayers! Super nice, fun to be around and always worked hard and tried their best. They were particularly skilled at helping clear the weeds and helping to establish a new project! If you want to learn the Aussie accent, Paris is the best teacher!! Cheers, guys!

Tanja is a very hardworking, honest, organised and nice person. She always worked very hard at the various tasks she helped with and even did extra work. Thanks, Tanja!

Lena and Mona are very nice, friendly and hardworking people. They really got stuck into the tasks assigned to them. They did a particularly good job of organizing my shed and barn and were very attentive with the animal care. My animals and I liked them a lot!

Oli is a very hard working and skilled person. He helped move many projects forward including electrical, woodworking and other skilled things. He also did the everything day stuff such as animal care, clearing snow etc with dedication and no complaints. Cheers, Oli!

It was my first workaway and I could not have wished for a better one. Tom and Lois made me feel very welcome. I have so many good memories about the time I spend with them and for sure will come back after my trip around Australia. They are very friendly and happy people!!

This was my first Workaway experience, staying at Daniel’s house for about three weeks. He was very friendly and kind. I stayed at his house and took care of everything while he was traveling. I took care of his cat Emma, the chickens, the garden, and cleaned the house. His home is very spacious and beautiful. The bedroom was very comfortable, and the bathroom was clean. So the kitchen was especially amazing. The neighbors are very kind, so I felt safe and comfortable while he was away. Shops are within walking distance, and the beach and hiking trails are also very close, so I could really enjoy nature. As Daniel is an artist, his house is filled with art, and every room is a pleasure to explore. Although we had only a little time together, we were happy to help him with cooking and to listen to his stories about art. It was also a wonderful experience for my daughter, and she was very happy. His home-cooked meals were excellent and very inspiring. I was grateful that I could cook meals in the nice kitchen for my daughter, as we met again here after a long time. I was also able to use his car, his bikcycle which made us stay even more enjoyable. Thank you very much for the wonderful time I spent with my daughter over the New Year holidays. Thank you for all your kindness, including the ride to the airport.

I just finished a great experience with Noemi where I stayed for just under a week. We both shared English/Spanish so I think it worked well. I spent my time sanding the exterior walls and applying plaster. Noemi showed me around Quilmes and I also really liked the area. It felt safe and there are a lot of shops and a nice park nearby. Noemi is extremely obliging and helpful and always willing to help. She introduced me to some of of her friends/family and it was nice to get a local experience. Overall, the communication was very clear and I have no complaints. I think the profile is extremely accurate and the description is exactly what you can expect. All the best in the future Noemi, Mariel and co:) P.s the dogs and tortoise are amazing!

pavel is a grat guy. his bright disposition and helpful attitude made surviving the great december ice age of 2025. he genuinely seemed to thrive in difficult environs and was able to tackle any task that came his way. he was responsible and hard working. it did end up finally snowing the day he left -- some might suggest he was "bad luck". but i would counter that it was coincidence (& bad timing perhaps!!)

Compartir estos momentos quedan grabados en nuestros corazones ♥️ Un abrazo Yovana,Alain y Swami

Our experience at the school was fantastic! We taught exceptional students who were eager to learn. The work wasn't too complicated, and Sokear or the other teachers helped us with any problems. We felt very comfortable there. We had a fairly comfortable private room with a bed and mattress, and even a balcony and a bathroom. We had a wonderful time, sharing meals, beers, and laughter. Several times we had the opportunity to watch sunsets, go swimming, and learn more about life in Cambodia. This experience was superb and very enriching. We hope everyone has the chance to have discussions with Sokear about Cambodian life, art, and philosophy. Thank you so much for everything!

We had a wonderful week at Cole’s farm in Mamaku. She is a super host; very hospitable, generous and easy to get along with, not to mention being a great cook. We loved spending time with all her animals, especially her 3 adorable sheepdogs; Lily, Basil & Charlie. Cole is devoted to her animals and is therefore very clear and precise in her instructions for volunteers. We shared mealtimes together and enjoyed good conversations and lots of laughter. The accommodation provided for Workawayers is excellent and we were very comfortable. Our daily tasks included feeding the cows, chickens and ducks, watering and weeding the vegetable garden and some household chores. Would highly recommend this experience if you are looking for a peaceful countryside environment. Thanks so much Cole, we loved our week staying with you at the farm - will definitely come back if we return to New Zealand in the future.

We hosted Karolin & Adam in November & December. We loved having htem to stay, very friendly, social people and also extremely helpful. We even got them to farm-sit for us while we went away for a few days and they took the responsibility very seriously. Every job they did, they did very well. Thanks for your time - you are very welcome to visit us again any time you come back through Taranaki!

I stayed with this family for 4 days and had a really great experience. They live on a beautiful property and take excellent care of their Workaway helpers. The accommodation is very comfortable, with a private caravan, as well as a well-equipped kitchen and bathroom, which gives a lot of independence. A big highlight was having access to a kayak to enjoy Lake Taupo. The location is ideal, very close to Tongariro National Park, making it perfect for hiking and outdoor activities. They are also close to the town of Taupo, which is a lovely place with several fun things to do. The meals were excellent — they cook very well. Overall, it was a wonderful stay with a welcoming family, and definitely one of my favorite Workaway experiences. I highly recommend this host.

Working with Tom brought so much warmth to all of us. From the first time we meet until the last day he showed respect and much apreciation for the work, the people, and the space around him. He has such an optimistic and loving way of being that spreads around and feels amazing. The doors will be always open to reconect again. Thank you so much. <3

This was my very first Workaway stay ever and I couldn't have hit it better. Yovanna and Alain are truly amazing people who welcomed me with open arms right from the start. I barely speak any Spanish and they are also just learning to speak English, but they were very patient with me and helped me a lot with improving my Spanish. The work was fine, with a siesta inbetween the work, and the weekends are off. Their were a lot of insects but I got used to them in no-time. I had no internet connection on my phone but some other people did, it depends on the provider I think. For me it was fine however, it was good to be isolated from "the world" for a change. Yovanna, Alain, Swami, thank you all so much. I won't forget this experience. With love ❤️, Ruud.
