Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Marie-Luise was so very very kind to agree to stay with us to animal-sit, so we could go on a summer-camp with our club. She helped with garden-work, spent time with the kids, took good care of the animals, cleaned and much more. Marie-Luise has a really good energy, she is very proactive and she is great company. We were also lucky to meet her daughter Olivia. Thank you so much for your help Marie-Luise! We hope to see you again on Bornholm one day <3

Katie was helpful with all the work around the farm - feeding animals... she was also very helpful with moving gravel on the road with the boys. When she is not writing the best-seller :), she is more then happy to follow what ever task you ask her to do. Her being very creative makes her very interesting for any kind of topic you like to talk about . She is slso very respectful of your privacy- big plus ! Thank you Katie

Michael nous a beaucoup aidé à la vie de la maison et aux travaux extérieurs quand le temps le permettait mais comme il est de bonne composition, les aléas de la météo ne l’impressionnent pas. Il a travaillé la terre, apporté du fumier, planter des arbres, poser une fenêtre à l’extérieur…et à la maison il assure parfaitement l’entretien de la maison, aspi+ lavage du sol, et l’entretien de la cuisine. C’est une personne facile à vivre et très agréable, c’est comme un ami qu’on n’a pas vu depuis longtemps et avec qui ont échangerait des nouvelles, tout en regardant un film ou en faisant la cuisine

Jon and I are extremely thankful to Julian, the entire family, and wonderful extended family. As soon as we arrived they made us feel like a part of the family. We continue to keep in touch and love the friendship we have made. We are beginner Spanish learners and through working on their project and daily lessons, we were able to make great strides in our abilities. The work is structured and organized and it felt good to know that we were able to help move the project forward. We continue to practice and learn. 😁 There were too many amazing moments through the month that we were there to talk about them all. We greatly appreciate you sharing the Colombian culture and taking us along on your family outings. We will always treasure our time around the table sharing meals and our countless games of Sky Jo at night. Until we see you again!

Maria and her family welcomed us with warmth and generosity. It was beautiful to experience costeña Colombian food and everyday rural life in such a raw and real way. A simple place with a lot of heart.

Serena has been with us for a month and it has been a great experience. She is nice and is up to talk in Spanish when you like, her level is really high. Sometimes she has cooked something and it was really nice. She has always been ready to help around the house and has done everything she has been asked to do. She has adapted really great to our schedule when we have asked for something. Angel has enjoyed the time playing and speaking in English with her. She is really recommended. Thank you so much for your time Serena.

Lugar precioso, en medio de la naturaleza, vista increible en el volcan y pies en el lago. Lautaro es un super anfitrion, atento al ritmo de cada uno y a lo que le gusta : trabajo en el jardin, de construcción, cocina etc. Se adapta y da mucha libertad para que cada uno tome initiativas. Su casa es muy comoda y tranquila, rodeada de arboles y aves. A parte del voluntariado, se puede ir a caminar en los senderos, a las termas, hacer kayak, compartir una chela o buenas conversaciones. Pues, no dude de ir a la casa de Lautaro para disfrutar de un lugar y de un anfitrion muy simpaticos !

It was a pleasure hosting Lola. Really enjoyed having her stay with us and had a great can do attitude. Would highly recommend her. Great personality and nice person to be about, good communicator and a good human being. Couldn’t ask for more.

We had an amazing time volunteering here. Ron, Val, Euphemia and the whole team were very communicative, helpful, and kind. The area around the hostel is so beautiful and fun to explore. The work was rewarding and relaxing, and there is a great community environment with the other volunteers. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience!

Manfred is an artist in his way of life and a great musician. He explained to me how wind instruments work. The guys I met taught me a lot in a short time. Suerte chicos

Heather is a wonderful person and a friend we continue to keep in touch with. She kindly trusted us to house and pet sit for a month in Summer. We had the best time! Molly is the cutest dog who needs lots of love, attention and patience. We took Molly for walks everyday (sometimes to the beach), fed her and gave her the occasional haircut! We felt like a true family and it was very difficult to say goodbye. We look back very fondly on our time in Skopelos. Heather is a passionate soul with so much energy and love for the island - we hope to cross paths again in the near future! Thanks for an amazing experience Heather

Mohammed was an amazing host!! he took care of all of our needs, with personal guides around Biogra and a lot of information on the area with recommendations. He was always available for any requests or anything you needed, he was more than happy to help! he even went out his way to give flu medicine when we were slightly under the weather while there. All in all as my first Workaway experience, he made it the most memorable experience working at the school and learning the culture. far exceeded all my expectations, would definitely recommend!!

This was my first Workaway experience and it couldn't have been better. The work is straightforward and as described, your coworkers are kind and helpful, and the hotel is beautiful. David and your coworkers are flexible with accommodating your plans for day trips etc. Its really nice to be surrounded by art, and also gives you a sense of familiarity when you're seeing it around the town as well. It was a really great experience, would totally come back.

Gigi et Mireya ont été de super hôtes de Workaway. On a passé un mois et demi avec elles et leurs deux chiens, Serena et Otto. Elles sont très sympas, on a beaucoup discuté et partagé de bons moments ensemble. C’était notre premier Workaway et notre première fois en Amérique du Sud, et elles ont pris soin de nous au niveau nourriture et eau pour qu’on soit un peu protégé niveau bactéries. Nous avions notre chambre et douches/toilettes personnelles, ce qui était plutôt cool pour se reposer. Les tâches étaient variées, et on a pu passer beaucoup de temps dans le beau jardin qui entoure la maison. On a aussi pu accompagner Gigi à la salle de sport pour faire de la danse et aussi un peu de musculation. Bref, c’était franchement une belle expérience !

Thanks to Beate and Christian we had the possibility to have an incredible experience with our two sons! it was great to stay 20 days with beate and Christian and others workawaiers working together and having fun. It was a real Adventure!

I spent about a month volunteering at the dog rescue. Work was absolutely amazing and totally fulfilling. This was my fifth time volunteering with animals and I never learned as much in one place as I did there. We were feeding, cleaning, bathing, giving medication and vaccinations to those amazing doggos. I even got to witness the process of castrating some of the animals. Ceci and Sabrina do an amazing job saving those beautiful creatures and giving them a new life. I really felt like I was a part of something so big and meaningful. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who considers animals as their passion.

I had an amazing time during my 4 week stay. The dogs are amazing - you'll fall in love with so many! I miss them so much. The shelter is an extremely well run operation, led by the amazing Anika, who works tirelessly - honestly, I don't quite know when she relaxes from all the work at the shelter. The accommodation is really nice, and you might be lucky to have your own room. You'll walk about 20 minutes to the shelter, for a morning and afternoon shift. The work for each shift is written down by Anika, so you just look at what's been assigned and work through the list. You'll spend lots of time walking and cuddling dogs, and the views from the shelter are amazing. I would highly recommend working at this shelter, and hopefully I'll come back at some point. It's really rewarding working there, and the dogs show so much love to you.

I felt incredibly honored to volunteer with Kelly. Since school wasn't too busy in December, I was able to join Kelly on a motorcycle trip along the Mae Hong Son Loop. Kelly also frequently organized outings, making our time in Chiang Mai very fulfilling. There are delicious chicken rice, noodles, and Yunnan rice noodles near the school. Thanks to the large Chinese community in Chiang Mai, I was able to regain my Mandarin communication skills for a while. I'm also very grateful to have met my fellow volunteers. I felt incredibly lucky to be able to go temple hikes, watch sunsets, attend boxing matches, play uno games, and have in-depth conversations with you all. Although I only participated in two events and taught one class during my two-week stay at a nearby school, I could feel the wonderful atmosphere of Thai public schools. I hope the children continue to grow up happily. Finally, I highly recommend everyone to experience and participate in Kelly's work; it's a perfect place for you to experience life in Chiang Mai. Wishing Kelly and Justin all the best, and also wishing all the volunteers I've worked with—coco, marlon, felicia, feri, alexa, nafisa, Jamie, Kieran, Megan, izzy, nevara, and lani—a safe and happy journey ahead.

Paz was a pleasure to host—reliable, respectful, and genuinely interested in learning. She approached the work with a positive attitude, adapted easily to farm life, and contributed thoughtfully. Communication was clear and the overall experience was smooth. I would gladly recommend her to other hosts.
