Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Wow, what an experience! More than a volunteering, it was an exchange of being. Being authentic, being open, being exploring. It is hard to put in words an experience that touched me on so many deep levels. In the beginning I was nervous, that I didn’t have some specific tasks, to “earn” the accomodation and food. My practical side was happy to get the task of organizing a cupboard:) and after that I could relax into the co-being as the true valuable exchange. We spent lot of time with Tagmac in spontanous healing sessions through sounds, conscious dance and even voice. Thank you Tagmac, for nudging me into exploring my voice and the power of its resonation! These were incredible journeys! I got inspired to create my first mural and I am happy Tagmac gave me the trust with his wall and a beautiful painting a of tree emerged from that. It made me so happy. It was an honor to sleep in the sound chamber with handmade gongs, I have enjoyed a lot everything, what an incredible stay! Wish all the best to you and your family.

I spent 10 days at Francisco's house in December 2025. It was a very good experience, and I had a great time! Francisco is a kind and helpful person; he spent a lot of time with me, offering advice on what to see in Granada and the surrounding area. For two days, we toured the city together, and he told me so many things (history, culture, food, interesting facts, etc.) about this wonderful city. In my opinion, the work wasn't tiring; I took care of Circe (Francisco's beloved cat, when he was in travel) and I cleaned the garage, terrace, some furniture, and the floors. With Francisco, I had the opportunity to improve my Spanish; in fact, in addition to being an English teacher, he's very available to help you with Spanish, offering suggestions and correcting your mistakes. Finally, if you're interested in exploring Granada, I highly recommend this project, as the house is well connected to the city by public transportation!

Sara came to stay with me for a cuppla weeks and I am so thankful to her for her help. Due to a work related burnout, I have terrible problems motivating myself on the computer, thus the lateness of this review also, apologies for that Sara. she helped me sort out my backlog and performed each task I asked her to do thoughtfully and respectfully. I would definitely recommend her as a workawayer and she is welcome back here any time.

I highly recommend Bryan to future hosts. He is a kind, caring, and trustworthy person. One thing that truly stood out was how much he loves animals, especially cats. He took great care of our cats with genuine kindness and attention, which meant a lot to me. Having Bryan stay in my home gave me real peace of mind. I felt comfortable and confident knowing he was there. He is respectful, responsible, and treats the home as if it were his own. Bryan created a calm and positive atmosphere, and his presence made the house feel safe and warm. I truly appreciated having him with us and would happily welcome him back anytime. I confidently recommend him to any future host.

I highly recommend Paolo to future hosts. During his time with us, he was consistently kind, friendly, and respectful to everyone. He communicated well, followed instructions carefully, and was always willing to help whenever support was needed. Paolo has a positive attitude and fits in easily with both the team and students. He created a comfortable and friendly atmosphere, which made working together very enjoyable. We truly appreciated his effort, responsibility, and cooperative spirit. Any host would be lucky to have Paolo. I would gladly welcome him again and confidently recommend him to other hosts.

Thank you for helping me work and you did a great job. I want you to stay at my house longer but I didn't have any more work. you can come and stay at my house whenever you want. Anyone who needs help with there work, you can ask Aturo, because he is very nice and his work was good ❤️❤️

Ana is an amazing volunteer, she completed all the tasks assigned to her, she has the initiative to do things without being asked, she's very responsible, and although she doesn't cook, she helped a lot around the house, in the yard, with the horses, and she has a very positive and cheerful energy! I highly recommend Ana as a volunteer!

James was here with me for about two weeks, and I have to say he is one of the most knowledgeable and skilled volunteers I have ever had pass through. He is EXTREMELY self motivated, and often up hours before me cleaning, sorting, and fixing things here with out me needing to give him any direction at all. So rare to have someone with such skill and energy come through. He helped fix so many of our electric issues, and plumbing problems. Got our swimming pool clean, our kitchen dome sorted, and so much more. Huge asset to anywhere he passes through...

Charlotte is a amazing girl! she is very responsability, and she realy love horses, she have a great conection whit them! we love the time that her spended whit us! she help at the house, cooking, and a good work whit the horses! i recomend Charlotte as volunteer! Thanks for everything!!

Ethan was here with us a short time only, but he was very good guy to have come through. He helped us cleaning at two different waterfalls. Helped build an outdoor shower, and did some painting. But I think his favorite part was getting to experience a Filipino diso during the fiesta over here. He got a good taste of the culture that night. Fast to jump in and positive energy the whole time. Good volunteer to have join us.

I had the privilege of spending two wonderful weeks with Liran. It was my first Workaway experience, and I believe it was the perfect start. Liran is incredibly friendly, respectful, and helpful. Her house is a dream, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. The work on the house with Liran was enjoyable. The tasks were not difficult, and she always made sure I was comfortable. We often discussed the day in the evening or in the morning, and she always responded to my needs. I also got to learn new things, such as stacking wood and renovating walls. She also showed me how to make a fire, which I find very relaxing. Liran's house has a very special aura, and I felt very comfortable there. The garden and the forest are incredible.

I'm so grateful for having hosted Franka. It has been really fun working together with her; we worked hard and had some good laughs. She's very capable of working on her own, as well as working together. We got so many projects done. I could really trust her to do a good job, as she is attentive to details, understands how to follow instructions and takes initiative. She also adapted perfectly to the house, the cats, and I could see her enjoying spending time in nature. Thank you for everything!!

Chiaras creativity and ingenuity shone through in all her contributions, that were highly appreciated. She is a fast learner, she never shunned away from a challenge, and carried out every task responsibly and steadfastly, while maintaining outstanding quality and organisation. Communication was courteous and warm, which made planning and interaction effortless. Chiara also impressed with a broad command of English vocabulary and expressions. Having stayed here for four weeks, Chiara continued her journey on rails and sea to the high north of Norway, to hunt and capture the aurora borealis.

Karel was a good help we have a great time Respectful and great assistance at the different practical task we did Thanks for coming

I stayed at Toni's house for a week in November 2025. It was a wonderful experience, and I'm happy to have shared my time with him on this project. Toni is a very kind guy, always available to help and make you feel comfortable in his home. We did various jobs on his rural farm; I really enjoyed this because varied work gives you more motivation and allows you to learn new things. The work was sometimes hard, but Toni was always kind to me and the other volunteers and always asked us if we wanted to rest (so no worries!). The place is very beautiful, although I was there in the autumn, and I think it's even more beautiful in the spring/summer, where you can fully enjoy the garden and pool. If you like dogs, Tek is a fantastic dog, very sweet and cuddly. Toni is also a very young guy and was available to spend time with the volunteers, going on short walks, watching movies, playing PlayStation, and just talking. He's a native Spanish speaker, and with him, I had the opportunity to improve my Spanish. If I have the opportunity in the future, I would like to return to this place. I recommend it!

I had a lovely time staying with Anna and little baby Aiden. My first day there I got to join them at the farm/bakery right across the street for a wagon ride and a pumpkin patch photoshoot. The house is absolutely beautiful and the room was really nice. Anna was always super understanding and open to me going for walks and runs as well. I loved taking the baby with me on the shorter ones and he enjoyed it just as much. Anna has made a very helpful list to help guide the workawayer to know what to do as well. Spud and etna are sweethearts and I loved the cuddles. It's honestly such a beautiful location and If you like walking, town is only about a 1.5hr walk away and the mountains surround you. Aiden is such a happy baby and he is so fun to hang out with and made me laugh everyday. I am definitely missing him💜

I had the chance to stay with Natalie, Justin and Alfie during my first days in Australia, and it was a wonderful experience that felt just like being at home. They were lovely, super helpful and very flexible with the work, which made everything easy and enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better first Workaway experience in Australia!

They proved to be hard workers, always available, reliable, and with a strong sense of responsibility.

Mia & Nele were a lovely pair of friends who came to me directly off the plane from Germany. I expected that they would have jet lag but they bounced back very quickly and were up and ready to work at 8 am the following day. They did weeding, mulching and tidying the garden beds, washed windows, cleaned out the garden shed and several other cleaning jobs. I was very pleased with their work- they didn’t stop till the jobs were done for the day. They were very polite, communicated well and were easy to have in the home. I highly recommend Mia and Nele to future hosts.
