Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Maria and Pablo are a gorgeous couple full of energy, fun and laughter. They were easy to communicate with and very respectful of my home and surrounds. They seem to have a great relationship with each other which makes them extremely enjoyable to be around. They stayed for 2 weeks completing all kinds of household and gardening tasks with enthusiasm and good speed. The jobs were not always easy but they took these challenges with smiling faces. I always appreciated their hard efforts and rewarded them well with lots of healthy vegetarian meals ...which they also appreciated. They were happy to venture off on independent adventures and also happy to accompany me on various outings to the beach or nearby villages. They both have a deep appreciation of our native environment and were very respectful of the bush and wildlife. I can recommend them both as being reliable, friendly, respectful , working travelers who are keen to be immersed in local culture and are fun company. I really appreciate all their efforts with the work they achieved for me and I wish them both all the very best for their future adventures and life ahead. I would happily welcome them both back into my home anytime.

Es kommt erstens anders und zweitens als man denkt. Du, Annelie, hast dich bei uns für einen farmstay entschieden und hast uns die ersten Tage - eben ganz anders als gedacht - dabei geholfen, die Goldschmiedewerkstatt unserer Tochter umzugsgerecht in Kisten zu verpacken. DANKE! Ohne dich hätten wir das nie innerhalb von drei Tagen geschafft. Aber auch das im Dreck wühlen und Hände schmutzig machen kam nicht zu kurz. Du hast jeden Morgen dafür gesorgt, dass die Pferde einen sauberen Stall hatten und wir haben Tonnen von Herbstblättern zusammen entsorgt. Als uns dann das nasskalte Wetter nach drinnen getrieben hat, waren Weihnachtsvorbereitungen mit Zimmer schmücken, Plätzchen backen (seeehr lecker) und auch das Abendessen kochen an der Reihe. Nach getaner Arbeit haben sich dann unsere Schmusetiger ihre täglichen Streicheleinheiten bei dir abgeholt und konnten eigentlich nie genug bekommen. Zusammen gespielt und geredet haben wir natürlich auch und du warst beim Memory spielen nur schwer zu schlagen ;). An deinen freien Tagen bist du, meist mit Regenschirm bewaffnet, in unseren Rufbus Rubi gestiegen und hast die Umgebung erkundet. Und so sind die zwei Wochen auch irgendwie ganz schnell vergangen... Schön, dass du uns trotz der geringen Entfernung von deinem Zuhause für deinen workaway Aufenthalt ausgesucht hast und danke für deine tatkräftige Unterstützung. Liebe Grüße nach Berlin von allen Zwei- und Vierbeinern.

We began our travel journey with Gemma, Garth, Raffy and Diggy. We honestly couldn’t have had more luck with this amazing loving family. We felt so welcome from the start. They were super flexible with the tasks and really appreciative. We waterblasted and did simple house chores. We also had the pleasure of babysitting the two cutest legends ever. We’re going to miss the excited footsteps in the morning and the enthusiastic bike rides. Gemma & Garth both helped us so much and they were so empathetic with our car troubles. We won’t ever forget them and we’ll go back to them if we find a chance. We would recommend them as a host without a doubt. Thank you for all the fun guys.

There is always something going on at our place but when Camryn came to stay with us it was extremely busy because of fosterdogs needing socialisatie and care and the vegetable garden still giving crops and in need of weeding. Luckily Camryn stepped right in and helped out with all that needed to be done. There where a lot of 'first time jobs' but Camryn enjoys all experiences and is eager to learn. The dogs where very much at ease around her and she wasn't bothered when some needed more time. Thanks to Camryn we could do al lot of walks and socializing wich is really essential to adjust in there new home. Camryn was very laidback wich had the right effect on all of us. As a bonus she took on the cooking in the evening. That was an absolute delight as that is the time my energy is always low and the canadian glutenfree twist to our meals really lifted my spirits. We can highly recommend Camryn to all types of hosts, Camryn has no problem adjusting to new situations and embraces new experiences. We enjoyed having her around so much and she really made life easier for us!

Hi Aurora, we would like to thank you a lot for the time spent at your place. We discover a new way to live and we liked it a lot. We would like to thanks a lot your family as well. You will be always in our memories and we really hope to meet you again sooner or later in this life. maybe in italy, who knows. working with you we learn about vegan food and fermetados, we learn about cabaña and discovering new way of doing building. thanks to always communicate with us directly and to find a solution together. We wish you and your family all the best. bye :)

It is difficult to explain in some words this experience with Maria. We would like to start saying thank to this beautiful soul. She welcomed us in the best way. She shared her world to us and we felt really lucky to be there. We liked a lot her yoga practice and she was always there if we had questions with detailed explanations. she brought us around show us the best natures. The job was well organised, we did mainly gardening and maintanance tasks. Everything was clear and doable. Maria, we hope to meet each other again one day. You know in italy you will always have a home in our place. we wish you all the best!

Volunteering here was a great experience. Samuel and Flores are very friendly and they are willing to explain how to help and contribute to the project. Moreover, Samu knows a lot about mexican culture so if you want to learn better the history of this nation, he is the professor. The dogs are so lovely and the gallinas gave to us the best fresh eggs every day. The jobs concerned gardening, waterpool cleaning, bnb tasks and general maintanance. Overall we felt really good and we where really sorry to leave temprano. We really hope to meet again this great family in this path calle life. see you soon guys!!

I had two fantastic weeks with Boon and Ati. they are the most welcome people you will ever meet, they loved to teach and show us everything they know and liked to do. if you need a place to connect with yourself, relax and listen to their stories, this is the place! we help out in the garden, painting and cleaning the house and made food for everyone. the fruit and oats breakfast is a huge miss after I left, so nice with fresh fruit from the garden. Im grateful for meeting those two and see how good a simple life in the forest can be. they really made this place great! Boon took us to a local lantern festival and markets so glad we got to see that. for now and in the future I wish you two the best of luck!

No se que decir sino muchas gracias a Santi et Lili que me dejaron compartir con ellos y los demas voluntarios dos semanas llenas de aprendizajes, de encuentros y de intercambios. El lugar de Santiago es realmente un oasis y el ritmo de vida por aquí, con toda esa musica, fue muy agradable. Otra vez muchas gracías Lili y Santi.

Our experience with Shirin and Terry was just amazing. Shirin is The fairy of JB, with her powerful smile and sweet personality she will still your heart ❤️. The mam is wonderful too, still with good memories of the roads in JB (not easy at all). Woth her experience now she have a really strong connection with the nature and a interesting and really practical intuitive way to make everything beautiful with flowers and plants. She take care of the huge garden and of another space, an old jail, a really stimulating place too. Terry is a giant baby, with very shiny soul, a lot of dream and a really funny sense of humour. He likes to make joke, to grow mushroom and paint. He is very generous and kind, trusting people and he will treat you as part of family. He can seems demanding but it is just his way to communicate, he show us always gratitude for our work even if sometimes we were not perfect. From 5 days we keep extending till more than 2 weeks, and it was a wonderful time for us als to rest and enjoy the peace of be in a house, after quite sometimes of jumping from one guesthouse to another. Thanks again

Harry and Izzy stayed with us for a few weeks, and we loved having them around. They’re a lovely, fun couple and incredibly helpful. Harry is an absolute wizard on his laptop and anything tech-related, and Izzy helped out with painting she’s a gun, especially with cutting in. She was also wonderful with our son Finn; they spent a lot of time together and he loved hanging out with both of them. We highly recommend Harry and Izzy for any projects you may have.

Chris was an excellent volunteer at our NGO. Proactive, reliable, and kind, he quickly became a positive presence in our daily activities. He took initiative, connected beautifully with the children, and always approached every task with responsibility and enthusiasm. We are grateful for his contribution and would happily host him again anytime.

I had a really great time staying in Cochiguaz with Vale! From the first day on I felt comfortable and welcomed thanks to Vale, a really kind, generous and open-minded person, and her 3 lovely dogs, who accepted me immediately. Even that I just speak a beginner level of Spanish wasn’t a problem, as Vale always patiently explained me everything I didn’t understand and I really enjoyed our long and interesting conversations! The workload really isn’t heavy and I did various tasks around the garden, the house and the guest house. In exchange I enjoyed the luxury of an own bed- and bathroom and we had lots of delicious food together (it was absolutely no problem that I’m a vegetarian). What’s more is that I had the opportunity to get to know the area and other locals, as we did for example a stargazing tour, went to a local theater and bar together and met some of Vales friends. So, all in all, I would really recommend this Workaway if you are looking for a beautiful place with a warm and relaxed atmosphere to calm down and enjoy tranquility and nature.

Fuimos muy afortunados de recibir a Rose. Ella estuvo 10 días en nuestra casa-hostal y no solo fue una gran ayuda, sino que también una excelente compañía. Siempre tuvo buena disposición para colaborar en lo que pudiera y lo hizo muy bien. Muy ordenada, inteligente y trabajadora. Un agrado contar con su sonrisa cada día y compartir buenas conversaciones. Ya la extrañamos!

Nina was with us for 6 weeks, and it was a very enjoyable experience having her. She loved Vancouver and we loved her! She was willing in everything asked of her and did a great job. Charlie loved her and she took him for some great walks. And cooked some great German cookies for us before she left! I would have her back anytime and wish her all the best in life. Thank you, Nina!

We really enjoyed this experience, teaching to the kids and teenagers, and leaving in a rural area for two weeks. Sokear and the other teachers are all wonderful people. We will never forget the moments together. They made us feel like home, and we had very deep and human conversations. We immersed ourselves in the real Cambodian culture and lifestyle. It was a very interesting and unique experience that you wouldn't do elsewhere. Accommodation is basic but functional. Bring with you earplugs, mosquito repellent, probiotics, towels and toiletries. And good vibes, have fun!!

I spent five days with Mish and Nige in their paradise and I wish it would have been longer. They're kind and funny and give you all the support you need even for your personal matters. Mishs cooking is extraordinary (she even made my gf sandwich for lunch :)). I couldn't have wished for a better first Workaway experience, I'll never forget this place. Thank you both so much for your efforts!

Esta fue mi primera experiencia con Workaway y la organicé en el último momento. Aun así, me siento muy afortunada de haber vivido esta experiencia. Los maravillosos anfitriones, Raúl y Mónica, me hicieron sentir bienvenida desde el primer momento. Son personas increíbles, amables más allá de las palabras, y se aseguraron de que tuviera todo lo que necesitaba durante mi estancia. Además, me llevaron de aventuras y picnics, y compartieron conmigo comida deliciosa, vino y experiencias inolvidables. Los alrededores son absolutamente preciosos, con naturaleza y aventuras por todas partes. Si tienes la suerte de encontrar este Workaway, ¡quédate aquí! Muchas gracias por todo, Raúl y Mónica 💖🌞

We had a wonderful two weeks house-sitting for Monique while she was away on her trip. Taking care of beautiful Princess Stellar was an absolute pleasure, and we also managed a few Airbnb guests during our stay – everything ran smoothly with no issues at all. The small jobs around the house were straightforward and didn't take much time: a bit of weeding, some painting, cleaning windows and gutters – nothing demanding, just the usual maintenance tasks. The location is perfect for dog walking, with several large parks nearby offering plenty of activities. We met many friendly dog lovers in the area, which made our daily walks with Stellar even more enjoyable. We also discovered a lovely café in the neighborhood that became our regular spot (The Neighbour, do not miss it!) Since the workload was manageable for one person, we split our time well – Daniela handled the house, Stellar, and the Airbnb guests, while I took the opportunity to explore Auckland more extensively, even fitting in a 2-night camping trip. Overall, it was a great experience, and we'd happily recommend Monique's place to other Workawayers!

I had an absolutely amazing stay at Madelin’s and Tiaki’s! From the moment I arrived, it felt like home. The tasks were interesting and varied. And most importantly , I enjoyed spending time with Māhina and Tāwhai. Two rays of sunshine!!! I also can’t say enough how lovely the kai was every single day. I am beyond grateful for this experience
