Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 2

The time ( 5 days) i spent with Sigrid has been very enriching for me.I learned a lot about healthy food,quickly prepared,i learned also to know the names of many herbs. Our communication has been always respectful and we had very interesting subjekts to discuss. The Yoga Lession,almost two hours,together with other Yoga pupils managed Sigrid with clear announcement and i could feel her enthusiasm for Yoga. Together we were working in her beautiful big garden. Also ,our walks were very interesting.We walked along the river "Ilz" and Sigrid showed me the Beauty of nature around the town "Passau". Thank you so much,Sigrid,for your empathie and kindness! As soon as possible,i will come again to stay maybe a longer time!Cheers!Theresia

This is an amazing place to stay. Laura and Paul have really built a beautiful and peaceful area with a powerful soul. They truly put their whole heart into this project, and we can feel it. I felt at home really fast and enjoyed every moment together. I was only there for two days, and they celebrated my birthday, it was really lovely of them. This experience was all about sharing, so heart-fulfilling. I slept for most of my stay in their incredible "A-frames" and was really glad to be in such a nice wood cabin :) I was there during a lively time; we were four workawayers at the same time. It was really joyful, and I'm so glad I got to meet incredible new people as well. I really enjoyed the work I did; it was very versatile, each day was different. I got to do painting, cleaning, laundry, setting up the tents and decorating them, drilling, and last but not least, concrete! Riding the golf cart and tractor was a PLUS and so much fun, haha. I arrived during a week when a burlesque show was being set up. It was a pleasure to see all of this come to life and to be able to see the show afterward! We helped with parking and running the bar and it was so cool to do something different again! Basically, if you enjoy trying your hand at various tasks and doing different things, you will definitely find happiness here ! I loved the daily routine of sharing breakfast together and getting to know what the day would be like. Laura was really organized, and you knew from the very beginning of the day what your tasks would be. We shared amazing suppers (like a crêpes or burgers party!) and conversations as well. The goats, ducks, and chickens are adorable, and it's nice to be around them. It was really enjoyable to be able to borrow bikes and discover the area around; it’s really beautiful. I'm so sad to have stayed only two weeks. I would have loved to stay longer. I already know that I want to come back. Laura, Paul, and Calliope are the sweetest. They’re incredible and are surrounded by amazing people as well !! Monkey, BooBoo, and Faith, thank you for also being this nice to me.

wow what an incredible first Workaway I had! I'm so grateful for the 3 weeks I spent here. I was able to learn about Spanish, life in San Gil, and teaching in schools. I would recommend this Workaway to anyone looking to spend time in a friendly family home and learn more about this beautiful place. everything was perfect

Jenny and Akos were with uf for about a month. We had not a lot of work these days but they were both creative and had the drive to start their own projects. Akos initiated the building of a oven built of natural materials and they built it with the help of Thomas who is involved in the project as well. We had a great time together and enjoyed the time in the jungle. Looking forward to see u guys!

We had just Sebastien here with us and greatly enjoyed his company, the exchange of ideas, and seeds and his help in our garden.

This volunteer experience was a pure blessing! It made my Thai adventure so much better, I was truly lucky to find Mink as my host. The job is pretty simple (it basically consists in cleaning and helping with check ins/outs plus preparing breakfast for the guests) and Mink is always ready to help and assist you with EVERYTHING, not necessarily workaway related. In addition the hostel is located in a perfect position, it's super clean and comfortable. The beauty of it was that I was able to feel at home even if I was miles away from Italy, and that's truly special. Thank you Mink, Oat and Palwan for the wonderful days, I'll miss you forever ♥️ 🇮🇹 🇹🇭

We had Alex with us for 3 weeks. She was very motivated and helped us with the construction of some furniture, sanding the wooden house. She was very creative painting the furniture and some signs for the path. She was a great sport and we had a lot of fun and a good time. Thank you Alex, we miss you!

Lou is a wonderful human being full of positive energy. Having her jumping around with a smiling face at any time of the day really changes your day. She is such a kind soul with the animals that she was even spending her free time with them. We thank her for the big job she did. Our doors will always be wide open for her.

We had Rox with us for about 3 weeks and had a very good time in the jungle together. We had not so much to do in this time and we are happy she enjoyed the time with us and had the time to get some insights and ideas about her future life. She was very sweet and with a warm heart. Thank you Rox! Have a good time

Maria is a fantastic human being and worker. She is so dedicated to animals, and her professional support both in photography and in veterinarian auxiliary care have been really important for us and our project. She is also really clean and tidy and a perfect housekeeper. We truly hope to have her back in the future, hopefully even for a longer period :).

Thank you so much for all what you've shared with us during this lovely experience! So much kindness, so much help, so much food... It was a great pleasure and big improvement for our DIY projects.

I stayed with Sinead and Blaithin for 2 weeks but I feel like I gained impressions and experiences for a month at least. It started with the Mayo day a big festival where I was directly involved in a parade and my stay ended with a music session in a pub and after hour drinks until 6am in the home of Sineads friend Marc. This perfectly sums up Belmullet because everyone is absolutely open and welcoming and you will surely have a great time. Sinead is a great woman and she takes her role as a host very serious! She took me on a 4 hour tour of the Penicula and educated me about the culture, history and nature of this beautiful place and her passion for it is contagious and will 100% win you over (at least I am a big mayo and Belmullet fan haha). She will make sure you get to know the area, its people and will inform you over every possible activity (whale watching, writing and reading club, music sessions in pub...) The workload was totally fair and consisted of garden work, painting, cleaning and dog sitting. but looking after blaithin was more pleasure than work because she is a energetic love sponge who loves to cuddle. Sinead if you read this: I will miss playing board games and sing the high notes while cooking and drinking a glass of wine. I hope I can visit you again and you are always welcome if you ever come to Germany! All the best Lesley

C'était tout simplement génial. Le lieu est super verdoyant, plein de vie, d'attention et d'amour. Andrea était une super hôte, très investie pour que les volontaires passent un bon moment, apprennent des choses et fassent ce qu'ils aiment au rythme qu'ils préfèrent. J'ai passé deux super semaines là-bas, merci pour tout Andrea, je te souhaite à toi et à ta famille de petits chiens adorables beaucoup de chance et de réussite dans tout tes beaux projets. J'ai voyagé 6 mois en Amérique du Sud, fais 10 Workaway et celui-ci fait clairement partie de mon top 3. Si vous aimez être proche de la nature, le jardinage et faire des rencontres culturelles, je vous recommande clairement cet endroit ! Merci encore, Te extraño mucho Octavio 🥹❤️

Tony is a guy from Australia who visited us for three weeks. He worked with wood and in the space of this short time, he developed many great artifacts like solid beds and rustic furniture. We learnt a lot from him concerning work and mainly from his experience that you should always think well before starting on a piece. He was always ready to help us out with everything and very interested in his work and in our way of life. As he has great life experience, we had a lot of inspiring conversations. We all liked him a lot and were a little sad when he had to leave, but we hope that one day, he will return and visit us again. It wold be a great pleasure receiving him anew! Thank you Tony!

Marco and dearest Francesca have stayed 3 months at the farm both in 2023 and 2024.They are very caring,loving,hardworking and very skillfull.The farm; not only the people, but also the animals and the plants accepted them as family.their compassion and adoptability is marvellous.whoever hosts them is very lucky.

Amelia es super linda, fue muy amable siempre, conversamos y compartimos unos días ,si tienes oportunidad de conocerla va a estar super bien, un abrazo enorme Amelia, que todos tus sueños se hagan realidad 🌀🤗

it was a very nice experience and renaud is amazing!!! loved playing scrabble with him, eat pasta and cuddle with his cat Mimi. the festival was amazing and he makes an effort to make you feel welcome & see the surrounding area !!

Durante mi estancia aquí, del 29 de marzo al 7 de abril, fue muy corto y rápido pero una de las mejores experiencias de voluntariado y momentos fructíferos de mi vida. Mi principal trabajo voluntario fue tomar fotos de cada botella y el interior del lugar, limpiar y organizar la tienda. Rodrigo, el fundador del proyecto me dió muchas oportunidades preciosas para familiarizarme con el vino y visitar a los productores de vino. También tuve la oportunidad de participar a una conferencia de pequeños productores en Chepica y de unirme a una feria de turismo en Lolol y ayudar en el stand. Jorge(Coke), el personal muy importante del proyecto, siempre se preocupó por si comía y dormía bien, siendo muy divertido hablar con él. Como su familia vive cerca, me invitaron por almuerzo y Onze, me trataron como a un miembro más de su familia linda. Sergio, como su compañero de negocios y amigo de Rodrigo, me enseñó muchas cosas sobre la historia del vino, el dégustation y me invitó a su alojamiento, que encontré como un paraíso con tanta naturaleza. También aprecio a "Viña la Pascuala" que tuve la oportunidad de ayudar al embotellado y el proceso de uvas. En conclusión, ser voluntario en este proyecto me hizo no solo aprender sobre el vino, sino tambien los pasiónes de los pequeños productores en Colchuagua y me sumergió en las culturas chilenas a través de la interacción con la gente bonita. Realmente me encantó el tiempo que pasé con ellos y espero que volveré con mejores ideas de vino y español. Muchas Gracias!

Mahesh est un garçon très gentil, respectueux et plein de bonne volonté. Il m'a bien aidé à nettoyer le jardin. Parlant très peu français, la communication n'a pas été très aisée mais nous avons réussi à nous comprendre sur l'essentiel !

I had an amazing time here and wish that I could have stayed longer if not for la Semana Santa. Todd, Veronica, and Chelo are a dream trio and their work with the kids of Cajones and Guanajuato is truly admirable. Their experience and passion was made evident throughout each project and they are a pleasure to be around as well as being very generous with their time and effort to support the workawayers. During my stay I had the amazing opportunity to help out with the three-day camp set up for kids from the city, this camp was remarkably organised and efficient, making sure that the kids had a truly magical time in the nature that surrounds the place. I was extremely impressed and very grateful to take part, my efforts were simply to keep up with the amazing team that already exists. The community of Cajones is absolutely incredible and the kids that came to the place every evening (4pm-7pm) made this experience one that I will always look back on with so much fondness. After a little while, the very selfless Trey - a friend of this place - emphasised the importance of making sure that the kids are very much aware that the stay of the volunteers is temporary so they are not surprised when we have to leave. For Sara, Nihal and I (love you guys), we were all leaving the project at once and for this reason there was a distinct effort to make a celebration of the very special time that we shared with the kids as to not make the separation a sad moment. It is a tricky situation as it is natural to make a connection (because the kids are so great) but the duration of the volunteer's stay needs to be highlighted to mitigate anything else other than positivity that is offered by the haven that is this place. Muchas gracias por la oportunidad y por el apoyo que ofrecen a estos niños con tanto potencial. Un abrazo :))
