Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

I had such a great time staying at this hostel in the heart of Alice Springs! This is the place to go if you want to stay long term, i ended up staying 4 months in total as loved it here so much. It really felt like a proper hostel family with a great sense of community. I consider it my Australian home away from home! :D It's very well run Seb & Miriam really done a great job of making this a great place to stay. The work is also very fair, you can also have a job on the side in the afternoons to make some monies or you could take it easy and just chill with the other Workawayers and soak up some sunshine. There's lots of great things to see outside of Alice aswell if you manage to get a car. One of the new main attractions of the hostel is Josh the mint plant & Josh the cacti so check em out if you get a chance and give them some love! ;) and thankyooou to all the Workawayers for being fabulous and making my time here so special :D

Lili is a fantastic host. She welcomed me into her home like I was part of the family. It was a pleasure spending time with her and her son. During classes, I was able to learn new ideas for teaching and also help out with get-togethers. It was a wonderful experience!

This was our first workaway and it will be really hard to beat. Sharon is one of the most incredible people we have ever met. She made us feel instantly welcome into her home, and we were lucky enough to stay in her gorgeous tin hut which she had prepared for us, the super king bed was a massive bonus, along with all the food and snacks (& grapes!!!). Sharon also has the most amazing, kind, welcoming family who we also had the pleasure of getting to know. We were made to feel like part of the family and at ease during our stay. The dogs Meggy and Teddy are so sweet and are happy to cuddle all day. We loved it so much we can't wait to come back!

Vlad has been an absolute blessing here on the farm. He approaches every day with kindness, patience, and a genuinely peaceful energy that makes working together a pleasure. No matter the task—big or small—he is always willing to help, and he does everything with care and reliability. His calm presence brings balance to the busy day-to-day rhythm of the farm, and his helpful nature makes him someone you can always count on. We are truly grateful for everything he does and for the positive spirit he brings to our place. Thank you, Vlad, for your kindness, your hard work, and the peaceful energy you share with everyone around you.

Eleni is that little extra you want to have in a team! She has her own unique sense of humor, limitless creativity, and a fun touch of craziness. She adapts to any type of role, but don’t hesitate to ask her to do some marketing for you (she helped us a lot with our social media, for example :) ). In short, don’t hesitate!

Kat volunteered at our Hostel for a month. During this time, she contributed far beyond the usual activities, sharing traditions like Thanksgiving with us, for example. She has a calm, sociable, teamspirit and hardworking personality. She’s a discreet but very efficient member of any team :)!

Our family feels truly blessed to have shared our lives with Weronika. During the more than three months we spent together, a beautiful bond grew between us. Wero is thoughtful, motivated, and a caring person. I strongly recommend her to any host, you won’t regret it. We wish you all the happiness, Wero, and we truly hope to see you again around here.

Staying with Karen and Ryan was one of those unexpected, golden experiences that ends up shaping your whole trip. I was touring around on my mountain bike when I stumbled across this wonderful family, tucked away in the perfect community of Roberts Creek. The weather was unreal from day one, which made settling in even easier, sunny days, warm evenings, and that laid-back coastal vibe that immediately makes you feel at home. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed not just into their house, but straight into their community. The work was exactly the kind of hands-on stuff I enjoy ,digging holes, creating space for a hot tub and decking ,but the real highlights were everything that happened around those projects. We’d wrap up in the warm evening light, then drift into huge shared dinners, lots of laughs, and some truly unhinged chats that I’ll remember for a long time. Somewhere in there I also got introduced to Korean fermentation, which was both hilarious and genuinely fascinating. Because the weather stayed perfect, every day flowed into something fun. There were random house parties with the locals, long relaxed hangouts after work, and one unreal night kayaking on the ocean with the brightest phosphorescence I’ve ever seen , the kind of moment you can’t plan but never forget. Honestly, what more can you ask for from a travelling and Workaway experience? Great people, meaningful work, real connection, and the kind of memories that stick with you. I’m incredibly grateful for my time with Karen and Ryan, and I’m sure our paths will cross again. Highly recommended.

Philomène a été comme une brise fraîche dans notre famille. Une personne calme, très autonome et qui voit le travail sans avoir à lui dire. Plusieurs tâches étaient nouvelles pour elle et elle a développé rapidement ces nouvelles compétences. Nous avons bien rit autour des jeux de cartes lors de nos soupers! Merci de ta présence douce et bien ancrée durant tout ce mois de novembre!

Staying at Lea and David´s was such a warm, heartfull experience. From the first moment I felt at ease on their land. It felt so special to be welcomed in their little family and the daily life that comes with it. Seeing their tenderness with lovely Adda was beautiful to witness and it feel like that energy was sensible on their entire land. The weeks were full of olives and although the days flew by so quickly, it also felt very spacious. Lea and David checked in regularly, making sure everyone was doing well. It felt wholesome to spend days up in the trees, collecting the olives, having the best conversations, listening to music, take some breaks for the most delicious snackplatter or lunch. Ending the days with a family dinner, a spontaneous dance, fire or just retreating in our caravan/yurt. It felt like every pace was honored, something that's very important to me. It was days full of laughter, working, olive bets, desserts, sweet conversations, delicious meals and friendship. These weeks were just too short, but I'm quite confident that I will come back here. Thanks again so much for everything, you're the best!

My experience here was truly fantastic! The place is immersed in nature and absolute tranquility, surrounded by animals and beautiful plants. The refuge itself is very well built, cozy, and full of charm. Bruno and Clarita are exceptional hosts, they made me feel welcomed from the very first moment and truly part of the development of this wonderful place. The work was varied, sometimes physically demanding, but the energy of the place and the sense of sharing always made it enjoyable. I mainly helped with outdoor gardening tasks and indoor maintenance to improve the refuge. Thank you so much, Bruno and Clarita, for this amazing experience. You are building something truly beautiful, and I’m sure it will become even more magical in the future!

The best experience in Greece! Krystalenia is a fantastic host, always very interested in making you feel comfortable. She loves to teach her culture and customs, and she’ll invite you to participate in all the events and parties she attends. Also, if you can and are interested in participating in their family life and with their friends, which are incredible. Participating in their dances, friendships, and parties has been one of the best parts of the trip. Krystalenia make it very easy for you to do the assigned tasks and will never make you anything you are not capable of. In short, as the days went by, Krystalenia became more of a friend than a hostess, and I’m sure we’ll meet again in the future. Agios Nikolaos is a quiet town with incredible beaches and crystal-clear water, and all the surrounding areas and towns are wonderful. I recommend it to everyone who wants to visit Crete, I had a great time and experience. Thanks you so much, a big hug and friends forever!!

I had an excellent time working with Solana in Argentina. She and her family were so kind to me, welcoming me with open arms. The kids are a delight to work with as well. They are bright, lively, and energetic! I was able to have privacy by having my own room, which was something that was important to me going into the Workaday experience. I can be a bit of an introvert at times. The neighborhood Solana lives in is also very walkable and popular amongst both locals and tourists, making it the perfect place to live. I felt safe at all times, both in an out of the home. Solana is also very flexible and communicative when it comes to hours, tasks, and scheduling. Overall, I would definitely recommend this experience to others and would even come back myself!

If I could recommend one workaway, It would be the organic farm of Anja and Mike. You will be welcome as a member of the family. Thanks to them you will learn a lot about organic farm, gardening, weeding, harvesting, etc. I spent a month in this farm and It was a wonderful experience. People are all very kind with great conversations. There are a many workawayers in the farm and the energy is just incredible. Thank you a lot Anja and Mike !

We welcomed Jasmyne and Olly into our family around Thanksgiving, and from the start, they fit right in. They helped us prepare the garden for winter — levelling an area for mowing, transplanting bushes, fixing the raspberry trellis, removing annual trellises from the vegetable beds, planting garlic, making a lasagna garden, collecting leaves, and tackling plenty of weeds (including stubborn grasses and bindweed). They also cooked wholesome meals, cleaned the dishes, the floors, and the bathroom. Everything they did was done with very little instruction and a lot of skill. On top of all that, they house-sat for us while we were away in Mexico, which gave us such peace of mind. It was amazing to have them here, and I was so grateful for all the work they did. I think our property has never been as prepared for winter as this year. They are always welcome back here anytime, and we would highly recommend them to any other host. We wish them all the best in their future travels and adventures.

La rencontre avec Mario a été une belle et très sympathique expérience . La plupart des travaux dans la ferme était une découverte pour lui , . Sérieux , appliqué , méthodique , il a su bien gérer son temps . Arrivé avec son propre véhicule , autonome il pouvait disposer de ses moments de repos plus intensément , découvrir la région ,rendre visite à des amis ,faire du sport . .... Discret mais très volontaire et sérieux , il aime cuisinier et sa cuisine est très bonne ! , II a fait de grands progrès en Français . Merci Mario et espérons de revoir bientôt

Eulogio just stayed two days in my place because he had issue with a hand, but he was helpful, polite, nice person, i can reccomend him.

Selva has some polish roots and we had some interesting conversations, she was polite and trying to do the jobs well done, maybe some misunderstandings sometimes but overall it was good experience,

After just under three weeks at Dani’s place I came away refreshed and energised. The space fosters healthy living, spiritual practice, interesting conversation and a calm, playful energy. I spent the time with a few other great people listening to good music, dancing, sharing meals and the workload was manageable with a few different options of tasks. If there is a task you are passionate about then Dani is happy to see you get creative. Dani has suggestions for the activities going on in the city and is happy to help you figure out getting around. It is surrounded by beautiful mountains which I could day trip to hike peaks and discover waterfalls - the views are stunning! If you are looking for a space to slow down, bring positive vibes and live intentionally I would definitely recommend here!
