Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

Dear Timothée, Your review deeply moved us. Reading these words, so full of gratitude and enthusiasm, is the most beautiful reward for us. You said you couldn't have asked for a better first experience, but we couldn't have asked for a better Workawayer than you! Having you here for 5 weeks was simply wonderful. Your presence, your smile, and your willingness to do things brought such positive energy to our farm. We are thrilled that you felt like part of the family from the very beginning, because that's exactly how we feel. Sharing our meals, local products, and our friends with you was a pleasure, and the mushroom-picking days with you and Giuseppe will remain an unforgettable memory for us too! Thank you for describing the work with so much affection. Seeing you tackle every task – from caring for the animals to building the fence for that cheeky donkey of ours! – with such dedication and satisfaction filled us with pride. You are a resourceful person with a great desire to learn, and the improvements you helped create are a precious gift for us and all the animals. Your words about our project fill our hearts with joy and give us incredible motivation for the future. Please know that our door will always be open for you. You are now part of the family! A very big hug from all the animals too (yes, including the cheeky donkey!). With all our affection, Chiara and Vincenzo

Sara and Romy were wonderful to host. They are young, but so mature, energetic, creative and great fun. They were very enthusiastic and willing to do any jobs. While they were here, as well as deep cleaning the house and many jobs in the garden, they helped me with a number of creative projects. They painted a toychest with beautiful artwork, insulated an outdoor cat house, shampood rugs and furniture, decorated the house for christmas, creating many decorations. My favourite thing was Romys cooking, she made the most delishious restuarant quality vegan meals, baked amazing treats, and when they went the left me a hand written cookbook. I was a away a few weekends and they took great care of my cats who loved them. I would be delighted if they came back again and anyone they stay with will be very lucky, especially if you love amazing food!

Came here out of a little emergency and i'm so glad i did. It was all just beautiful as it was. The place - the forest, the hills, the whisper of the eucalyptus trees. The rough waves of the Atlantic. The work was fun, sometimes stinky and luckily, i was always covered in paint. The food was simply amazing. But the most important thing was undoubtedly the community. Learning about other people, learning about group dynamics, learning about myself. Learning about deep spiritual and high energetic topics, aswell as natural building, construction and permaculture! Connecting over shared thoughts and feelings. Taking so many valuable lessons home! Thank you for everything George! And kissies to Oku xoxo

Hanna and I stayed for about 10 days, which was rather short but still a nice time. Maria is a well-travelled woman who is very active and loves to socialize. She has lots of friends and very nice neighbors, so we met a lot of people. I especially liked her friends Pascale and Sandrine, which live very close by and seemed to be her closest friends. On one day, international students from Poitiers came for a visit. That was so interesting! I got to practise my French a lot with all of the people we met because most of them didn't speak English. Some mornings, we also did French-Spanish lessons, which I found very fun! The work was mostly weeding, pruning and general winter preparations of the garden. We usually started work at around 10 am, which was very relaxing because we didn't have to get up early. The only thing that bothered us was that Maria had her plans for the afternoons and weekends and expected us to come with her. We would have preferred to decide for ourselves what we do in our freetime. The activities we did were all nice but sometimes it felt like we had no choice... So it's better if you are someone who likes to just come along with whatever the host is doing. We just had different expectations :) Overall we had a nice time and really experienced a lot of different things. Quinçay is a beautiful village and Poitiers is definitely worth a visit. We even went to a traditional dance ball with dances from Quebec! That was really cool and I had a lot of fun!

I'm extremely thankful for finding such a beautiful family. One of the only words I can shout are THANK YOU!!!, thank you so much for the beautiful experience. Really beautiful family, all of them adorable, they are very respectful and elegant people always with good chat and calm positive energy. I felt great all the time together with them, they are very generous and super good and the space around is a beautiful area very calm. Very lovely hearts to be surrounded. If you want to practise language or help in a wonderful house with disconnection from city and natural ways and healthy living here is a piece of heaven ❤️

Jenny was a wonderful addition to our family for 10 days in Morocco. She has a soft and peaceful energy and had wonderful ideas for my children from growing lentils from seeds to making crafts with household scraps. She did creative food prep with my son and was neat and tidy and helped clean up around our home. We took her to experience a local tree farm and to the Moroccan hamam. We wish she could have stayed longer. Highly recommend Jenny as a Workaway volunteer.

Nori was a great host. I’m really grateful for his food, kindness, and hospitality. Working with him was a very good experience. I had to leave earlier than planned because my travel plans changed, but I truly appreciate everything. I definitely recommend him

It was an absolute joy staying and working here. It provided everything I wanted from a Workaway experience and more! Rana was a fantastic host aswell as a fine cook! She was also extremely attentive and helpful with my learning of French. I highly, highly recommend both her and the place as a Workaway stay to anyone. - I also cannot forget to mention Loopie, the cat, who was wonderful company throughout. I'll miss them both a lot! Many thanks x

Ha sido mi primera vez.en workaway. He pasado un mes en casa de Mylène y Jean Paul y han sido unos anfitriones maravillosos. Haciendo todo tipo de trabajos en la granja, Además han compartido conmigo sus reuniones sociales y familiares, cosa que valoro mucho. He comido muchos platos típicos de la zona y el vino que hacen, todo buenísimo. En definitiva, me han hecho sentir muy cómodo . Y además he podido mejorar el francés

TOP It was a fantastic experience. As a first-time as a workawayer, I couldn't have asked for anything better.I had a wonderful time. The atmosphere was warm, spectacular, and very welcoming. TOP. The food was spectacular. We took a culinary journey from Norway to France, Thailand, and Italy. TOP. What can I say? Absolutely TOP. TOP EXPERIENCE. :)

Amin brought incredible positive energy, strength, and determination to the farm. He's both strong and a quick thinker, making even the toughest jobs much easier. I truly appreciated the way he took on every task with a smile. Working with him wasn't just productive; it was also a lot of fun. Together, we made work easier and days brighter. I was so happy to have met him and hosted him. I hope we can harvest and enjoy the fruits of the fruit trees we planted together. I wish him the best of luck. Nuri

We had such a wonderful time, it was the perfect first Workaway experience ! Marcin made us feel welcomed and included from the start. He is really kind and always makes sure everything is going well. He also cooks incredibly !! The place where he lives is very pleasant, surrounded by animals, especially the horses. Taking care of them and riding was amazing ! The village is lovely, and the people we met were very friendly. We left with great memories and hope to visit again during the warmer months :) An unforgettable experience ! Thank you again, Marcin!

Sam y Adri son personas maravillosas, siempre ayudaron con la mejor actitud, llenaron el hostal de risas, bailes y comida, tienen una energía super bonita! los vamos a extrañar mucho.

Thank you Ella for your wonderful and touching comment! Now it's my turn to leave you mine. Ella is kind, attentive, very professional, and well-mannered, which is greatly appreciated on Workaway ! During her stay with us on the farm, she quickly adapted, was efficient with the animals, and helped with household chores. She participated wholeheartedly in adapted sports sessions with Guy & Jean and Alice :) in addition to helping with the association's website and ongoing projects. Ella, our home is always open to you, come back whenever you want! 💖

This was my first experience with Workaway, and I couldn’t have dreamed of a better one! Edie and Mike are lovely, warm, and incredibly generous! I felt very quickly like part of their family. They shared wonderful moments with their friends, showed me beautiful spots in Nova Scotia, and were very flexible with my schedule. My main tasks were taking care of their adorable and energetic dog Claire and doing a few household chores. Thank you again for everything! <3

It was such a pleasure having Jamie here and I fully recommend him. Jamie stayed three weeks and has become part of the extended family 🙂 He did loads of clearing in the woods and helped me setting up a recording system. He is a very fine guitarist and has a wonderful singing voice so the house was filled with live music and he taught me new songs on the guitar. He is an excellent guitar teacher as well. He has a brilliant sense of humour and had me in stitches 😅 Thank you for all you have done here Jamie and Loopie and I look forward to your return 😇

Nuestro primer Workaway fue en la casa de Walter y no podía esperarnos una experiencia más increíble que esta. El proyecto nos impactó y fascinó de inmediato. Walter ha sido un host fantástico: súper disponible, amable y dispuesto a enseñarnos el trabajo, ¡además es un gran cocinero! En dos ocasiones, por problemas de salud, se movió para tratar de encontrar una solución. El ambiente es rústico y está completamente inmerso en la naturaleza. ¡Gracias por todo, ha sido super chiiiiidoooo!

This was my first workaway project and my first time abroad. I'm so happy and incredibly lucky to have had this first experience in Thailand. I'm so grateful to have met such wonderful hosts as Luca and Elle. Luca is a brave adventurer. Even after retiring here, he's still designing and renovating sailboats, gardens, and houses – he's full of energy! Elle is an excellent woman who loves cooking and keeps her home incredibly well-organized; I admire her greatly. Luca and Elle took care of me like parents and elders. Since it was my first time abroad and my language wasn't fluent, they wanted to help me adapt to this foreign life as quickly as possible. Fortunately, I eventually adapted, and I stayed for almost a month. I'm also very grateful to my volunteer companions Outi, Linh, Andrea, Francesca, Lou, and our worker friend Sawsaw. Thank you for your help and encouragement, especially Outi. Without your help, I probably still wouldn't dare to swim at the beach, and I wouldn't be able to complete my daily work properly. Finally, if you enjoy a quiet beach life, like physical labor, and love delicious food, you're welcome to come and experience it.
