Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Ardis was such a pleasant person to have around! They got involved in various tasks, always eager to help out and socialise. The work they do in Scotland is fascinating and it was wonderful to exchange knowledge. Come visit us again! :)

Willem stayed with me for thee weeks, mainly to help with 4 dogs and 2 cats. He was a pleasure to host and very helpful and versatile. Willem immediately established a rapport with the animals, he has a calm and reassuring presence which gives them confidence in him. He enjoyed the rural environment and was happy to go for long walks with the dogs. Willem was also very willing to hep with other jobs, for example he helped with some some exterior painting and got on and finished the job for me. He is very responsible and trustworthy and did a great job looking after everything for a few days while I was away. Willem is an excellent house guest, cooperative and tolerant and also self-sufficient when necessary. Willem is very easy to get on with and I hope I have the opportunity to host him again the future.

It has been a total bliss hosting Jasmin and Dana in our home! They are very kind Souls, mature beyond their age, skilful and talented (great cooks both) and eager to learn and experiment with new things! We have enjoyed their company, sense of humor and deep conversations about life! Don't miss the opportunity to host them, as they can be great fun and helping hands to be around! 🫠🦋

Weronika and Kamil have been our first Workawayers, we couldn't have dreamed of a better start! Such a lovely, caring couple, full of love and dedication for everything they touch! Our time with them has been very meaningful, joyful and creative. They are highly skilled gardeners! Also Weronika is the best cook.. Such a Joy and Honor to have spent time with you guys!! Gabriel has loved Kamil as he played with him a lot!!! Love you both 💓

Patricia is a girl with a very kind heart. She's tall, strong, and always calm. It seems she learned to love nature through her studies as a scientist. She radiates warm, loving energy to those around her. She even loves the various creatures living on our organic farm, including small insects like spiders. Patricia is a great swimmer, and she even saved a Canadian friend who fell into the small river near the farm because he couldn't swim. He called Patricia his lifesaver. Patricia has left us with many wonderful memories. And she has become part of our family. We're already excited to spend spring with Patricia again next year.

I really enjoyed having Alex around. He was hard-working and present even when we had bad weather. He was eager to help with whatever task, and I'd definitely invite him back for another visit. Thanks So much, Alex..

I had a wonderful time with Carolina, David, and their three sons, Lorenzo, Nicolas, and Miguel, for two and a half months. They were very nice and welcoming, and my stay was very comfortable. The house was really nice with a beautiful mountain view, pool, and trampoline. I had enough free time for myself every day until 4 pm before picking the kids up from school. After picking them up from school, I looked after the kids playing at the park or going to extracurricular activities. On the weekends, they always invited me to join them. I was able to explore Salamanca and visit Carolina's parents' house near Salamanca. They even got me a bicycle so that I can join them when they go cycling on the weekends. I really appreciated all the fun things I did with them. When I wanted to go to Madrid or travel to some other cities, they let me do whatever I wanted. Their son, Lorenzo, studies Japanese and knows Japanese very well. It was a nice experience to teach him my language and to learn Spanish from him. I really enjoyed my stay with them. Hope we can see each other again!

Peter was an outstanding volunteer and a real asset to our team. He was highly responsible, reliable, and handled all housekeeping tasks efficiently with great attention to detail. Peter was fully involved in daily operations, often staying extra hours when needed, and always showed a strong work ethic. He worked very well with both the team and guests, respected all rules and guidelines, and stood out as a kind, polite, and tactful person. I trusted him with training new volunteers and highly recommend him as a dependable team player with strong housekeeping and communication skills. We would be very happy to welcome him back to our team in the future.

What summarizes our experience best is: We would love to have Miguel back with us any time. Miguel was our first Workaway guest and stayed with us for almost one month during a rather chaotic time when we had just moved into the house. He was kind, very polite and considerate, asking about house rules and preferences. He was also particularly sweet to our baby :) Miguel’s regular tasks were: * cleaning and sterilizing baby bottles and supplies at least once a day every day * cooking delicious fresh meals every night * loading and unloading the dish washer taking out trash * cleaning our cat Muckel‘s litter box (due to the fact that we just moved and Miguel was yet "another stranger", Muckel didn’t get close to him, otherwise we’re sure Miguel would have taken good care of Muckel, too) * occasionally vacuuming the house Additionally, Miguel gave us a helping hand whenever needed, particularly with unplanned extra work in our old apartment prior to our final move out (inspection). Miguel was also very flexible in his (digital nomad) working hours and general schedule - he‘d always take great care that he could help us and then fit his free time around to visit different cities and many Christmas markets :) We really enjoyed eating his delicious meals in the evenings and hearing about his travel stories and we would have loved to spend more time with him (which was limited because us having the baby and so much to do). Sometimes we had some language barriers resulting in small misunderstandings (lots of leek soup :D) but we also tend to talk very fast (we told you to stop us, Miguel! :)). We would have loved to keep Miguel longer if he hadn’t already been "booked out" ;) Dear Miguel, we hope that we can host you again sometime! Until then we wish you great adventures and always safe travels.

Hey Sam and Mike! I know it's been a while, but thank you for having me! It was an overall very interesting experience. I got to learn a bit more about spiritual healing and prediction which I thought was super cool! The work mainly consisted of gardening and doing artwork, so pretty chill and fun. Sam was easy to contact via WhatsApp, and I got the opportunity to visit a local market with Mike. I could also easily walk or scooter to the closest town which allowed me to go on a few day trips! Thanks again for having me!

Recibir a José Andrés ha sido muy enriquecedor, hemos compartido nuestros conocimientos gratamente; él con su perfecto conocimiento del inglés académico me ha aportado mucho apoyo de cara a mis estudios de inglés, y por otro lado yo le he enseñado técnicas de medida y corte con materiales de aislamiento y pladur para aislar mi techo. Y ha sido una experiencia de trabajo en equipo muy agradable, es un buen ayudante para tareas técnicas. Espero verte de nuevo por aquí amigo y gracias de nuevo!

Celine is our first workawayer and it was a pleasant experience. She is a very brave and intelligent person to venture out to our place which is quite remotely located. Always smiling with a can do attitude, Celine helped us with coffee picking and other chores in the garden. She is very neat and tidy, and kept the volunteer accommodation clean. We wish Celine the best.

This is my first Workaway experience, and Guglielmo is a great host. He thinks about almost everything you might need in advance and explains it clearly, which makes communication very easy — and I think that’s extremely important. The work is very easy and not too demanding. You can take your time to do it, and he is not a harsh person, so there are not too many requests or pressure. As for the food, I just want to say it’s amazing — BBQ, pasta, and more. You can really enjoy the food as well.

Alicia and Matteo, were with us for three weeks, they were simply WONDERFUL, they were punctual ,enthusiastic and hardworking, we were very lucky to have had their help. they were easy to get along with and fast learners, very caring of the farm animals. Another point I wish to note, they had great respect not only for us but also for the place they stayed (the volunteers accommodation) they kept it very clean and tidy. We miss their cheerfulness and warm smiles they would greet us with each morning, Wishing them both all the best in the future .

Kitti’s family is incredibly kind and welcoming. We stayed for one week and helped with cleaning at Kitti’s hotel, as well as working at Dino Smoothie Shop. It was our very first Workaway experience, and we truly loved it. A big thank you to Kitti, Khuan, and Grandma for the amazing homemade food, it was unforgettable!

After having Klaudia stay on the farm, we highly recommend her if you're looking for a great volunteer! She is hard working, curious and bright, and she gives 100% of herself to everything she does, so we got a lot achieved while she was here! Thanks for sharing your beautiful spirit and for all of your hard work Klaudia! We wish you all the best for your travels! Good luck!

What a nice experience I stayed with Marta in your community and Charity school in Arusha. She was a very charming, active and helpful one from Spain. He was always trying to go extra mile. Try to connect with Loco as well as anticipating whatever the help is needed. Her working experience and spirit remain as a unforgettable memory today, Madame and children at our school Suggest as the beginning it will it’s also arrived to the end that no one at the school was ready to let her go back once the end is called. We just need to pick up. I would very much like to say thank you Marta and wish you all the best and I recommend you for in the future host

I had a wonderful stay with this amazing couple and their adorable 1-year-old baby. Life with them is peaceful, joyful, and natural... There are lots of things to do together, such as cooking, gardening, pollinating vanilla during the flowering season, and teaching English or French at the village school... Elizabeth and Omega will be happy to share experiences with you, such as bird watching, making coffee, fishing, and going for walks. But there are many other possibilities, depending on what you like ! We shared wonderful moments and conversations, and I felt right at home... A true sharing experience. Go ahead, stay with them—it's hard to leave! Thank you, my friends.

Rob and Allison were a tremendous help, and wonderful people to be around. They are very skilled, experienced and flexible, willing and able to take on almost any task, and always ready to improve and problem solve. Rob and Allison really sought to understand and support our small business in many practical ways, and they seamlessly fit into our work routine. Communication was excellent, and we really enjoyed the conversations and shared meals with them. Their dedication to "serve others" is a beautiful gift for anyone lucky enough to have them as volunteers. We really hope that Rob and Allison will return to St. Lucia in the future! THANK YOU for everything.

Stayed with Nellie and Byron at end of October 2025. Had a great experience in Hakuba! Helped out with gardening and waste removal / transportation mainly. Nellie and Byron were extremely friendly / accommodating and flexible during my stay. I stayed in one of their lodges which was very comfortable with own private room. Nellie and Byron communicate clearly and keep you in the loop in terms of potential up coming tasks - excatly what I look for in a Workaway. Overall fantastic experience. Thanks again guys, hopefully get to visit again when the powder is there! Cheers, Andy
