Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

I stayed with Ximena and Dan for a week at the beginning of July. Even though it was short, it was an enriching experience! In terms of work, it wasn't complicated. I did some cleaning, landscaping, and helped Ximena with certain tasks! Ximena is a wonderful person, very kind and very attentive to her volunteers! Thanks to her, I was able to meet a lot of people in the French-speaking community (I highly recommend it)! I also got to meet other German volunteers (who are very kind and friendly)! Thanks to Ximena, I participated in three different events (in the French-speaking community) out of curiosity, and it was truly incredible, with unforgettable moments! Thank you! Luka

I couldnt be any grateful for the experience with Benjamin, despite it was only 4 days and there was also a lot of work to do in a very short time .I was personally lucky because most of the required help was in the first two days than Ben gave me free time to do whatever I want.the location was pretty much close to everything, local markets ,Madrasa alkarawiin and makam moulay idriss.I would like to thank again Benjamin for this opportunity,for being patient with me,for being incredibly generous and careful and also i hope we can meet each other one more time in your residence in the beautiful Medina!

Odessa connected with us here initially, but ended up coming to stay with us as a guest instead of a volunteer. We are SO glad she decided to stop here! She stayed a week, and fit into our family life immediately. Odessa is quick to jump in and offer to help — she is thoughtful, respectful, perceptive, and very bright. She has a good sense of humor (quieter and fun), and is detail oriented. She brought great ideas, laughter and interesting conversations to our shared dinners. She added so much to our household and was quick to pitch in around here, as well as to jump in and gear up to go for an adventure. She’s very fit, strong, enjoyed the cold river and hikes in the area, and spoiled our dog with love and walks. Odessa was our 100th guest and we’ll never forget her. I wish I could list all the great traits and little (and big) things Odessa did while she was here but, in short, we hope she will come back and visit us—she (and her freinds and family) are always welcome here! We recommend her to you!

Debora & Kainan Are most friendly people.. in very short time we had the feeling that the are part of the family. The helpt where ever needed and found what need to be done either out me telling them. We used google translate for the more difficult conversations. The are more then welcome here in the future.

I spent a total of almost 2 weeks at Emma and Michael's finca. During my time there, I slept in the cave, which was equipped with a mattress and a mosquito net. The finca has several terraces and is situated in a beautiful location very close to the sea. I loved living so close to nature and was able to learn and experience a lot about permaculture and alternative living during my stay. My tasks in the garden were to look after the trees, cut bushes, trim grasses... and whatever has to be done outdoors. I found Emma, Michael and the children to be very pleasant and welcoming. I was warmly welcomed and also invited to dinner a few times. At the end of my stay, I would have liked to stay longer and I would love to come back again. Thank you for everything!

Madhu is a nice gentleman and he has wide knowledge about Yoga and taught a nice yoga class at a Buddhist temple that I sometimes used to go. Many of my friends also liked his yoga class and his person because Madhu is friendly and sociable and a good company. He is open to new experiences and other cultures. Besides Madhu made good Indian cuisine and we both enjoyed cooking together. Madhu is very clean and tidy 👍

Este Host fue nuestra primera experiencia como workawayers en Perú, estamos eternamente agradecidos por su amabilidad en nuestra recepción, desde el primer día nos trataron como unos más de la familia. El trabajo es lo que se dice en la descripción, servir el desayuno, limpiar lo del desayuno, los espacios comunes y alguna habitación. No es muy duro, aunque depende de la cantidad de huéspedes. Si el trabajo es mucho siempre tendrás una ayuda y nunca faltaran las risas. Generalmente nos invitaban el almuerzo junto con ellos, y compartíamos comidas típicas tanto de Perú como de Bélgica. En nuestros días libres nos recomendaban las lagunas o treks ya que tanto Anita como Paul conocen la zona a la perfección. El Hostel tiene espacios comunes muy cómodos, una terraza hermosa para tomar el sol, leer y mirar la cordillera blanca. Si no es necesario su ocupación, tendrás la habitación para ti. Gracia Anita, Paul, Caro y Alvaro por hacernos parte de su familia y la comunidad. Y por siempre estar dispuestos a charlar sobre cualquier situación o inquietud y brindar ayuda siempre que necesitamos. Recomendamos este Host con total confianza!

Sylvia and Uwe are the best. We have been at their place for 2 weeks and It s been an amaizing experience. we helped in the garden, cuddles with their animals, and helped in the restoration of the garden's well, wich for a great occasion for learning something new. in the free time we had the bikes to go around, we cooked and eat togheter delicious food and visit some of the land historical places. Thank you guys so much, and hope to see you again !

What do we say about Emma I think we would adopt her if it were possible. Emma came in March went again came back and brought Lola went again and came back and only left us beginning of July. We miss her fun, exuberance, willingness and coffee 😊 Emma was always helping us and when I had eye surgery she kindly accompanied me to the hospital for check ups. The pet lambs only now speak Italian so don’t understand us. Emma is a superb cook of Italian food which we really enjoyed. I could have done with an Olive grove as we went through lots of Olive oil. If you have Emma as a workaway you will be so happy. An amazing girl.

Working with Mark & Tom was a nice experience. They are kind and flexible. Moreover, it's great to be in a quiet environment and enjoy the facilities of the place during the free time, it's really a beautiful place.

Nearly 5 weeks here It's difficult for me to write a feedback for my experience at Rich place. There were so many different things going on at various levels. For me it was an intense emotional rollercoaster, so I try to focus more on the factual. First of all, I can highly recommend this place. Rich is a great host and an interesting person. I experienced him as very easy going, open, empathetic, thoughtful, calm, active, flexible and generous. We had regular mindful check-ins in NVC style on a high quality level regarding to communication. That's nothing I experienced in this form during my travel before and I appreciate that a lot. The place itself is in a beautiful magical forest with a river and waterfalls. Actually the sound of the waterfall was to intense for me personally, but the nature is amazing. Lots of old orangetrees which give delicious fruits. The project is interesting and it was a pleasure to contribute. The neighbours and other people I met in this area were warm-hearted, open and interesting people from countries all over the world. I felt immediately welcome and part of it. There is an intercultural community with diverse events going on and there are nice local markets around. Rich offers best food quality: local, fresh, seasonal, biological - if possible. I stayed in a big cozy belltent. Every day was different. Thank you again, Rich, for everything. Hug, Anika 🫂

Oak did a good job helping us with some wood working, painting, weeding and bamboo construction. Thank you very much for coming and hope you have great travels.🤜🤛

I'm so grateful for meeting and spending such a wonderful time with this kind, beautiful, warm and open-hearted people, that no words can describe it fully! This whole week was full of both hard work with plants in community garden or help in preparing for family event (but that's just the pleasure and no pressure!) and rest activities like walking, biking, observing nature and animals in forests and fields. I'm inspired by how much these people do, what impact they produce on so many social levels, and how greatly and uniquely they have created a space for living, creativity and meaningful projects by themselves. Ewa being super warmly and attentive, my heart just melted from the first moment, and Tomasz being so positive and friendly, that this high energy of laugh and fun just catches you and charges you up! I wish everyone could meet these people and see how they perceive and feel this life, and learn from that vision so much! I think it opens more horizons, than any descriptions or explanations in theory. Thank you so much for welcoming me and letting me be a part of your family and all the local activities you have. Thank you for all the attentive evening talks, for care and showing me your home, for music improvisations and fun, for being yourself and loving this wonderful place of Bratnik and fighting for what you love and value the most. I'm deeply touched and absolutely want to see you again! Love and warm hugs!

I've had a very nice experience in the masia. Blai is a very interesting person with an amazing life experience. He is a smart confident guy with a lot of skills and knowledge that he is happy to share. The animals of the house are happy, sweet loving creatures; I'm missing them! :) I wish the walls of the house could speak, so many stories are hidden between those old stones. It is a very nice special place in the middle of nature, with nice beeings around and the possibility to learn a lot from a very good teacher. Blai, I wish you -and Amel and Carlos!, the other two workawayers I met there - the very best. Thank you very much for everything!!

I volunteered at El Parche Hostel for 2 weeks and loved it! It was my first time volunteering at a hostel, but I was made to feel right at home and the jobs I was given (80% on reception and 20% cleaning on other days) were super straightforward and explained to me clearly. I would work for 4 hours a day which gave me time to enjoy my free time, be it chilling in the spacious hostel or exploring the town of Pisac. Felix and Miguel the mangers and owner were fantastic to work for, along with Elsa the cleaner who always brightened my day, Chaufa the hostel dog who would accompany me into town and lastly the other volunteers who made me feel so comfortable. I met some amazing friends whilst I was here, so really recommend solo travellers to volunteer here - if you're looking to improve your Spanish, settle for a bit and meet new people, this is your place! Gracias por todo!!

I stayed with Jeff and Molly for about three weeks at the Cabot Trail but I also could stay longer. I had my own room with a private bathroom. Jeff and I explored a lot together around Pleasant Bay. We did Whale Watching, hiked the Skyline Trail twice, went to beaches and to more beautiful places and trails. Furthermore we made fires at the beach and on his property. I also met a lot of amazing local people and learned a lot about the history. Jeff is a really funny and easy going guy you can go along with him really easily. We had yummy dinners with nice chats and laughed a lot. We had a lot of things in common. My working schedule was really cool and chill. Jeff takes care about you that you have fun and comfortable with the tasks. He has a lot of great projects going on for these he needs hands. He took a lot of Videos for his business. Jeff and Molly’s property is amazing and I spend a really great time with them. So if you are looking for a great place in Cape Breton Island and you want to help Jeff and Molly with their projects, you’ll be a good fit.

Andrew is a fun and well travelled character with plenty of stories and a lust for life, he was always helpful and polite, good company and easy to be with and kept our spaces clean and tidy. He is a willing and fun character to get jobs done with and makes life pleasant, whatever the task in hand. Very best wishes on your adventures Andrew, thanks again for everything and see you again before too long, I hope :)

Thank you so much, Mike and Anja, for welcoming me. It was my first time abroad, but I had the most amazing stay! Both of you were so friendly and kind. I also had the chance to spend time with over 20 housemates, and everyone was such a good person—I felt truly happy to be surrounded by them. Although I had to leave earlier than planned to travel around Canada due to a change in my schedule, I honestly wish I could have stayed longer. I had so much fun going to the music festival, party, river together, playing volleyball and soccer—it was a blast. Whether you’re shy or outgoing, it’s a very supportive environment where everyone is welcomed and helps each other. I truly recommend this host :) Once again, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart! お世話になりました、ありがとうございました！

I had beautiful two weeks with Andreas and Christin and of course Mila!! Their house which is old and is having many antique pieces of furniture which were very elegant. I also like old furniture and I have it in my own house. Though because of my height, I could not use the bike they had offered me to go around, they drove me to various places in the car. It was nice to witness their practice session of choir and to participate in weekly exercise sessions for seniors. I had joint sessions of Yoga whenever Chris was not working in the morning. I also attended meditation centre which was unique experience. I did cook few Indian dishes ( I had carried few spices and ready mix packets with me) and it was amazing to just to to garden and pick up the vegetable you want!! This was my first experience as Workawayer and was a pleasant one encouraging to go for more....... Thanks Andreas and Christin.

My stay in late June was truly lovely. I stayed for two weeks, and throughout my time there, they were always friendly and smiling, which made me feel very comfortable and welcome. The tasks were mainly garden related, such as weeding, trimming bushes, feeding the flowers, and general maintenance. Occasionally, I also helped with some light cleaning. They have a beautiful swimming pond and a lovely terrace with a view, where I could enjoy peaceful, calm, and relaxing moments. I worked around 2 to 2.5 hours each day, and meals were generally self-catered. However, they kindly invited me for dinner once, and I had the chance to enjoy a delicious homemade local meal. Thank you so much for your warm hospitality!
