Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Can't be grateful enough to Ama and all the crew for the experience; I have been treated very very good! Ama is a lovely lady who is helping the local community in Kathamndu, she lives in a beautiful area in the outskirt of the city. My job was digital marketing and graphic design for her new company based in US. Ama would always come out with new ideas and creativity, such an inspiration for me! She takes care of some local guys here who are super nice and always curious to know about the outside world Food was AMAZING and freshly cooked every day, 3 times a day Next time that I will be in Nepal, 100% I will come back to meet all the crew again, miss all of you <3

Sebas & Marooooo ! We're missing you already ! Sebas and Mariana are two beautiful persons, super kind, super nice, super serious and mature. They are fast learner, they understood how to run our hostel easily ! They are always down to go for a trip or an activity, they're always on time when you need them and they're super friendly, so super cool to connect with people and socialise ! We're gonna miss how funny and serious at work at the same time you guys are ! Welcome back home as soon as you want ! To others hosts, go for them 100% !

Sara is a clever and conscientious person who enjoys sharing her stories and conversations with everyone. Sara stayed for a few weeks in June and fitted in perfectly with the 3 other workaways that were here. She mostly worked in the garden weeding, raking and planting hundreds of bulbs. Thanks Sara. There was a lot of work to do and she and the others applied themselves to the tasks at hand and asked questions when they needed clarification. She cooked some meals to share that we were very grateful for and helped keep the kitchen tidy. It was a pleasure to chat with her about life and her travels to date. I know she will have returned home now after a long time abroad, but with plans for next adventure. Good luck Sara.

Issy and Lily were fantastic and I miss them, their openess, gratitude and genuine enthusiasm for being here was infectious. They were here for 7 weeks and kindly looked after the cats when I was in Malaysia for 2 weeks. I trusted them completely and they looked after everything well whilst continuing on with their tasks. Issy was my pool maintenance person and worked methodically on the greenhouse, finishing the cladding and making shutters. Thank you Issy. Lily helped to do the finishing touches to the painting. Lily also spent most of the time working on the garden on her list that we worked out together. She pruned, weeded and renovated the garden which needed some love. She was also the end if the night tidier. She took that seriously and the kitchen, family room was never as clean. Both she and Issy were thorough, detailed and asked for confirmation when needed. I felt very confident that they understood what was needed to be done, and that was a real bonus. They are both good cooks, good conversationalists and we all felt at home together. I helped them get a car and farewelled them on the next leg of their adventure. I hope to see them again.

This will be the best Workaway you do!! I had the most amazing time volunteering here for 2.5 weeks, and I loved it. You meet the most amazing people at this hostel, it just seems to attract absolute gems. The work is easy, just posting what you do on social media and bringing a vibe. The area is beautiful, lots of activities to do like beach volley etc. The team is lovely and helpful too, with great food provided everyday. Honestly couldn’t recommend this hostel more!!

Thank you so much Viv and Paul for hosting us! The work was clearly communicated and our time lived up to our expectations based on our communication and Viv and Paul’s Workaway profile! We tended to work when it was not raining when we could to make the most of the things that needed doing outside - helping with clearing trees, moving wood, building bonfires, clearing old plants, planting new ones, and some window cleaning! We had plenty of time to relax and explore the local area. Their house is stunning and set up high on a hill with a beautiful sea view plus rolling green hills, a haven! We had a lovely room with a big comfy bed and a door out to the deck. You can tell Viv and Paul love their cooking and baking, and they were so great at catering to my coeliac! Viv even made a gluten free cake for Robs birthday when we were there! We had lots of fun chats and Viv and Paul shared great tips and info on staying in Aotearoa! We cannot recommend Viv and Paul enough as hosts, and hopefully we will stay in touch for a long time!

I stayed with Jennifer and the kids for 2 months. couldn't ask for better experience Jennifer is so kind and generous - she never lets you work beyond the hours she asks you to - she always asked for what I wanted to eat or drink so we can have it in the house - she always went above and beyond to make sure I'm comfortable and to make sure I'm enjoying the city and the kids are so fun and adorable! There is always something fun to do together and lots of time to play. And it is always fun to sit down and just chat during dinner she respects and love and always give so much to the people around her and it makes you want to give back I highly recommend to anyone to stay with Jennifer and the kids my best workaway experience so far

Nuestra experiencia con Juan fue excelente, se adaptó inmediatamente tanto al personal como con los huéspedes, siempre con la mejor actitud y trato con todos. Esperamos poder verte pronto, mucha suerte en tus futuros viajes. Fue un placer recibirte! ❤️

Anna is a respectful, clever and chatty workaway. She was a lovely addition to our household being myself and a couple of other workaways. She worked really well with the other workaways and they gave her advice when she didn't quite understand the task. Anna thinks her English is poor but she speaks very well and is really keen to chat and improve. I was quite busy with family and obligations and she managed very well with instructions and household chores. Anna worked mostly in the garden as the weather was still mostly sunny, weeding, planting and helping in the vegie patch. Anna has a lovely personality and was a pleasure to host. I wish her the best on her continued travels.

I loved hosting Penelope and Antione, they were such warm and generous workaways. The house rang with the sounds of their laughter, especially Antiones belly laugh, and their storytelling skills. We enjoyed many dinners sharing great conversation over meals that were cooked by all. We were treated to a delicious cook up of regional French fare on their last night. Penelope and Antione worked mostly in the garden planting bulbs, and plants and weeding. They worked diligently, even on a chilly day and asked questions when they needed. They were also really flexible as the weather was a bit unpredictable so days off changed, I appreciated that. They cleaned up and tidied every night and took initiative which was great as I was busy and often home late. I recommend them highly and encourage you to host them as they travel around the country.

I stayed at this hostel for 1 1/2 months and it wasn't enough! The place is beautiful, clean, and super well located - right in the heart of Condesa, a popular neighborhood in Mexico City. Most of the staff was super welcoming and I was able to develop my Spanish very quickly thanks to these wonderful people. The work was everything that's stated in the description, there was no surprises and they respect the 25 hour/week schedule. I will always be grateful for this magical experience and I would go back anytime. 100% recommend!

Corinne and Wayne are fabulous people who live in an amazing place ! They took care of us like if we were family members or very dear friends, and they are probably the most friendly people I ever encountered ! They definitely have a talent to make people feel more than welcome and instantly confortable. They are still super enthusiastic to host Workawayers, even though they have already hosted over a hundred ones ! But honestly we felt like we were the first and only ones ever, so much they made us feel precious ☺️ Regarding the work, they gave us choice on the tasks, and full trust from the very beginning. We could even manage how we wanted to organise our schedule ! About the horses, they are well taken care of, and easy to be around - in addition to be particularly delightful to look at !! There is also many seals around and if you are very lucky you might even see a Bold Heron (but very rare) ! The cabin looked like our dream house from the outside, and once finished, will surely be absolutely awsome inside too. We appreciated the quiet and privacy of it. We have numerous great memories from a really too short time at Corinne and Wayne’s , but we have to admit that the number one is probably the food 🙈😄🤤

maravilloso viaje, fer, paola y alan son fantasticos muchas gracias a paola por permitir el mejor viaje de mi vida

Staying at the beach camp was a wonderful experience! Pj and Jaja were very welcoming since the beggining and Ana, Tantan and Bebe were the best people to work around with. We felt part of the team right away and the meals were incredibly good! We helped by doing general cleaning and cooking chores and welcoming guests, and during our free time we had a lot of fun with everyone at the camp. We will come back for sure!

Ronja was our first workaway volunteer and we couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the volunteer/workaway scene. She's an amazing 18 year old woman, up to try anything, curious, open-minded, and so easy to get along with. She has an infectious enthusiasm for life in general, and when she said she especially wanted to try a lot of the more 'macho' jobs on the farm (tools not usually offered to lovely young women) we were happy to oblige. From machete to tractor to guadana, she mastered them all (and even made videos of it in her spare time). Our farm is still pretty rustic and conversations in our house tend to be in depth, but Ronja rolled along with all of it and was in general just lovely to have with us. Hopefully you'll be lucky to have her volunteer with you.

My experience here was truly amazing. Everyone was so kind, friendly, and such wonderful people. Surrounded by nature, I enjoyed healthy and delicious meals every day, and since come here, I feel like my body has become even healthier! The host is truly kind and caring. I had such a fun time playing pickleball with other volunteers, going into town together, and just enjoying every moment. Thank you so much for everything. I’m truly grateful for the beautiful time I had here!

Florian and Heloise were great. They were really helpful, hardworking and fun to have around. They did lots of different jobs like gardening, maintenance and publicity. They made us some really cool videos. Highly recommended!

Meg and Kit are excellent hosts, and I am grateful for the opportunity to stay with them. Both are very down-to-earth and kind people; Meg's cooking and baking is always a treat, and Kit's knowledge of the native plants and ecology is very impressive. We had nice chats together, and they made me feel welcome throughout the whole stay. I stayed with them for a bit more than a week, including a weekend at their cottage near Piha. The views and beach trails there are just gorgeous. Personally, I didn't find work on their garden and native bush that difficult, although I suppose this also depends on your fitness level. Meg and Kit are wonderful people, and I can certainly recommend them as hosts!

It's going to be hard to express with words how magically wonderful my experience was, but I'll try. 🥹 I spent exactly one month in this surreal place. Everything about this place feels like magic - the people, the place, the workshops, the music, the connections, the art, the dinners, everything literally. It is a place where you can fully express yourself, in a safe place, with no judments. It gave me the opportunity to discover my most creative side and even hosting my very first writing workshop on the beach. Here you will meet the most amazing people that you'll be calling brothers and sisters, you'll be joining workshops every day that will light up your day. To me it felt extremely nice to have a structure to the day but still have every afternoon and weekends free to explore this majestic island! 🏝️ Once a week you'll be a hero - which requires you to clean bathroom, dishes and general other small tasks. And once a week you will also be a chef (usually) with two more people and that's so fun! You'll go grocery shopping and spend the day cooking for the community. Trust me, it's so fun and beautiful to cook for the beautiful souls in here, even if you've never done it before! 🧑🏼‍🍳 In this place I came as a stranger and left in tears with amazing new friendships I'm deeply grateful for. I even had a fake wedding to get my Australian citizenship! And that explains how beautiful this place is, there's literally no limit to creativity! 🎨 My heart is full, my soul is enriched, my memory book filled with beautiful images and notes. Without a doubt, the most beautiful volunteering experience I've ever taken part of. I can't recommend it enough and I hope to be back again one day. 🥹 Thank you!

We stayed with Elspeth for about 3 weeks back in April. They were very accommodating hosts, Elspeth was very generous with her time and property, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Elspeth was incredibly knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna and we really enjoyed getting to plant native species and learn about the area. Elspeth was also very flexible and it was great to be able to stay with them until we had sorted out moving on to our next spot. We would highly recommend spending time here with such kind people in an amazing location!
