Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

This was my first place I where stayed as a volunteer. I really loved the place, the views were amazing, it felt like your outside of everything but still everything was so near by. The people were so kind, and it felt like a small family while I was there with the other volunteers. I was staying 3 weeks and thinking to go again. I can highly recommend it to others as well.

Staying with Suha and Millie was a wonderful experience which I highly recommend to anyone that likes to combine farm work with one-in-a-lifetime experiences such as rockclimbing and visiting the beautiful sites of Mae On. There was always work to do on the farm but Suha and Millie allowed everyone to work at their own pace and not too much which made the experience active but peaceful at the same time. We learned how to work with bamboo, plant and nurture seedlings and started each day with yoga and meditation with everyone that wanted to join. When you want to learn about self-sufficiency, Suha is more than willing to explain how he arranges everything at the farm. Other than that we went to the market and cooked together as a group with the other volunteers that quickly became very close. Thank you again Suha and Millie for your hospitality and the great time at the farm!

Eduardo and Margot are a special couple and work so well together.... Margot is so well organised ... I will add a photo on my gallery of how amazingly she packed a trailer with branches and green weeds to take to the transfer mulching process. Eduardo is bright agile and did great work renovating and clearing an outdoor stairway. They were both diligent, attentive and generous ... consistently bright harmonious and happy over the whole two week period. Margot makes great dutch cookies and baked cheesecake... which they offered to me and a visitor ... even though they were self-catering in the separate cottage. I highly recommend them both.

Marlin and Bijan have been superb in helping and constructing carpentry works! Dedicated and meticulous in their work ! Highly recommended!

Our experience with Simon was pleasant and enriching. In a short time, we became close, built trust, and were able to discuss deep and complex aspects of life. Simon is a friendly person, always willing to help in any way he can. He is calm, respectful, flexible, and thoughtful. He is open to learning about realities different from his own and is happy to share local experiences. Thank you for sharing this time with us. You're always welcome in our home whenever you want.

I had an amazing experience during my stay in Morocco thanks to Workaway. The villa was great, the environment was very pleasant, and the school was extremely welcoming. The students were absolutely lovely, respectful, kind, and motivated, which made the experience even more rewarding. This stay was both culturally and personally enriching. If you truly want to discover a country from the inside, I believe there is nothing better than this kind of experience. Many thanks to Rachid, Said, and the entire school for these wonderful encounters and this unforgettable journey.

Namaste sissy I felt very fortunate to have her here. her energy is wonderful, she got along with all the volunteers and guest. plus she is very helpful and hard worker and another thing is that she gives a nice smile which chers you up and which bring me more energy for working. if you ever want to come back we would be thrilled to have you. Me and my family will never forgot you. You will be always in our memories Thanks for your every kinds of help . See you ASSAP

Ich war für zweieinhalb Wochen bei Simon und Miri auf La Palma und habe mich vom ersten Moment an sehr willkommen gefühlt. Leider hatte ich während meines Aufenthalts nicht die Gelegenheit, Miri kennenzulernen, da sie gemeinsam mit ihrer Tochter Maja in Deutschland war. Umso schöner war der herzliche Kontakt mit Simon, der mir das Gefühl gegeben hat, wirklich gesehen und wertgeschätzt zu sein. Das Grundstück ist traumhaft gelegen, mitten im Kiefernwald, sehr ruhig und naturnah, ein Ort, an dem man gut zur Ruhe kommen und sich erden kann. Allerdings auch ein bisschen abgelegen, sprich, es gibt keine Cafés, Supermärkte etc in Fußnähe. Meine Hauptaufgaben bestanden darin, mich um die drei Pferde zu kümmern, zu kochen sowie kleinere Arbeiten auf dem Gelände zu übernehmen. Je nach Wetter haben sich die Aufgaben angepasst, an Regentagen haben wir zum Beispiel gemeinsam Mandeln sortiert. Untergebracht war ich die erste Woche in einem stillgelegten Van und danach in einer Hütte mit "Balkon" mit Aussicht auf den Wald. Ich habe während meines Aufenthalts viel selbst gekocht (weil ich kochen liebe), überwiegend bio und vegetarisch-vegan, was super möglich war. Die Atmosphäre war durchgehend offen, freundlich und entspannt. Ich habe mich sehr respektiert gefühlt und hatte jederzeit das Gefühl, dass meine Mithilfe geschätzt wird. Es war eine schöne Mischung aus Verantwortung, Flexibilität und einem liebevollen Miteinander. Auch die Arbeitszeiten hab ich als fair und sehr flexibel erlebt. Ich hatte insgesamt eine richtig gute Zeit und würde jederzeit wiederkommen. Beim nächsten Mal würde ich mich auch sehr freuen, Miri persönlich kennenzulernen, ich bin mir sicher, dass sie mindestens genauso herzlich ist wie Simon. Vielen Dank für diese Erfahrung, für die Offenheit und für alles, was ich während meines Aufenthalts lernen durfte. Ich kann diesen Workaway-Platz von Herzen weiterempfehlen🫶🏼

J’ai passé un été incroyable dans la famille d’Ornella et Samuel. C’était ma première expérience Workaway, et je la referais sans hésitation. Je me suis sentie accueillie comme à la maison dès le début. Ils parlent tous les deux couramment espagnol, anglais et français, ce qui facilite beaucoup la communication. J’avais ma propre chambre et ils ont toujours veillé à ce que je ne manque de rien. Mes tâches consistaient principalement à m’occuper des enfants les après-midis après le centre aéré, souvent avec la grand-mère (qui parle parfaitement espagnol anglais et français ) et autour de la piscine. Les enfants sont adorables : Valentina est curieuse et très rigolote, et Luca, encore petit est très attachant. J’ai été vraiment très triste de les quitter, à la fin de l'été. Samuel, le papa, a une entreprise d’excursions en kayak et m’a invitée plusieurs fois à l’accompagner, ce qui a été une expérience formidable. Denia est une ville charmante, proche de la mer. J’avais un vélo, ce qui me permettait d’être totalement libre, d’aller à la plage ou de me balader. Je garde un excellent souvenir de cette expérience et je recommande cette famille les yeux fermés.

I had a great experience staying with Jailin in Hinton. I stayed for almost three weeks while she was mostly away on vacation, and she trusted me to care for her dog, her partner’s cat, and the household. All responsibilities and chores were communicated clearly from the start, which made everything easy to manage and stress-free. Jailin was very organized, communicative, and supportive throughout my stay, even while she was away. I felt trusted and respected in her home, and everything went smoothly. It was a positive and rewarding experience, and I truly appreciated the trust she placed in me. I would absolutely recommend Jailin as a host to other Workawayers looking for a well-communicated, respectful, and reliable experience.

I truly believe that this Workaway is the best place to be in all of the Iguazu region. The big waterfalls are incredible, really a must-see, but it was such a gift to get to stay at Marcos' beautiful property. During my time there I had two friends visit right after visiting the big waterfalls, and they both told me the waterfalls were good but staying at this property is better. A beautiful piece of land surrounded by rivers and waterfalls, one including a big, natural, private pool. It's incredible. Marcos is one of the most welcoming hosts of all the many Workaway hosts I've had. He was always happy to share time, mate, snacks, or beautiful dinners and BBQs... It was so much fun to be with him, his family, and the other volunteers. I am really grateful for the time I spent with this amazing group of people. The work I really liked. It's physically hard work, but we take breaks when needed and Marcos always makes sure everybody is okay and not reaching their limit. You are always rewarded for hard work. One of the best places I've been. I hope life brings me back here again. Thanks so much Marcos!!!

Paola E Isalina fueron las 2 seres maravillosos que nos llenaron con su alegría y su forma de ver la vida de mucha alegría mil gracias chicas por compartir este tiempo con nosotros

“Simply Serenity” farm is an absolute must visit for fellow WWoofing and Workawayers who treasure the value of peace and calm in a secluded, yet accessible place, amid the forests of north Florida, US. Julia & Wayne are exceptional hosts of the highest quality people you can come across, extremely generous, kind and welcoming, and all of the above highlighted by the curiosity and charm of the creatures in the farm. My experience was enhanced by the affection felt from beautiful Pyrenees shepherds Dora and Tieger, the goats ranging from just borne through gracefully aging Crystal and Willow, two chicken coups under the protection of their roosters codenamed Larry Bird and Scottie Pippen and a nice pair of retiring endurance race horses. As a visitor to the farm I enjoyed standard living spaces shared with travel mates, Ivy, Jake and Jason, with indoors ample kitchen for meal preparation with food supplied by the hosts, comfortable bed in private room with provided linen and towels, full bath, entertainment room and modern laundry equipment. I found the farm’s shared tasks to be super easy hardly adding to 4 hours a day, with on ramping assisted by well on-board travelers and considering that the animals need daily care the hosts arrange the schedule in such a manner that everyone enjoys full day and half off during the week, which I used to hike and ride the bike along quiet roads and trails in the area. All in all one of my best workaway experiences which sincerely recommend to anyone and would like to repeat if the opportunity arises.

It was great to have Jürgen stay here. He helped me a lot with fixing things at the container, inside and outside. He build some nice steps and a place where I can put some wood for the oven , he took often care of the donkeys . He is very independent , because he has a motorbike in his caravan. He is a nice trustful person . Welcome back anytime !

Our time with Mark and Datsa was absolutely incredible. They are the most genuine, hospitable and lovely people who welcomed us warmly from our first meeting. The work we did varied from cleaning and gardening to general maintenance. They provided clear instructions and then allowed us to work independently. Their property in Klinci is beautiful with amazing views and their kindness and generosity will stay with us forever. We feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with them both and get to know them on a personal level. Thank you again!

Tuve la suerte de pasar dos semanas con Rosa y Juan, así como con otros dos voluntarios. Fue una experiencia increíble, en medio de la naturaleza, muy tranquila y reparadora. Las habitaciones están bien, con mosquiteros y mantas. Lo más difícil es la ducha fría, pero al final uno se siente muy bien después. El trabajo es bastante físico la mayor parte del tiempo, pero siempre en un muy buen ambiente, y hay tiempo de sobra para descansar después. Por lo general, es un día muy físico y otro más tranquilo. La comida es deliciosa y bien equilibrada. En el tiempo libre, se puede disfrutar de los diferentes ríos que pasan cerca del refugio. Hay pozas naturales y cascadas preciosas, y otro lugar perfecto para tomar el sol. La fauna y la flora son impresionantes: aves de todo tipo, mariposas, insectos, ¡sin olvidar el sapo de la noche! En resumen, lo recomiendo al 100 % para los amantes de la naturaleza que no tengan miedo de ensuciarse las manos trabajando. ¡Muchas gracias de nuevo a Rosa y Juan por su cálida acogida!

JC was great to have around for the couple of weeks that he stayed on the land. Very interesting guy, with a life path we can all learn and be inspired from. It felt more like hosting a friend than a volunteer, and he also had a lot of energy and skill to contribute to the activities and projects that were happening. I was impressed by his range of skills, including being very handy with woodwork, and he was happy to take on projects and work on his own accord, which was very much appreciated!

Mi estancia con Angélica fue realmente maravillosa y superó mis expectativas. Desde el primer contacto, la comunicación fue clara, cálida y atenta, lo que me hizo sentir bienvenida incluso antes de llegar. Durante mi tiempo allí, Angélica fue una anfitriona generosa, cuidadosa e inspiradora. Las tareas estaban bien explicadas y eran justas, y la rutina diaria era equilibrada, permitiendo tanto un trabajo significativo como un intercambio cultural. Además, pasar tiempo con los caballos fue una de las partes más especiales de la experiencia: aprender a cuidarlos, compartir momentos con ellos y convivir de cerca con estos animales hizo que la estancia fuera aún más rica y memorable. Más allá de ser una anfitriona, Angélica se convirtió en una verdadera amiga. Compartimos conversaciones, comidas, risas y momentos que llevaré conmigo por mucho tiempo. Me sentí respetada, acompañada y realmente como en casa. Estoy agradecida por esta experiencia y recomiendo a Angélica de todo corazón a cualquier workawayer que busque un ambiente acogedor, amabilidad, amor por los animales y una conexión humana genuina.

Rupert was a great volunteer to host, who really did his best to help out and get stuck into life on the land. He was very friendly, and a pleasure to share company with, in addition to having a great work ethic. Perhaps what I was most impressed with Rupert was his discipline, and dedication to his own personal practice (meditation, yoga, martial arts, cold water immersion) despite often very challenging weather! This cultivated energy carried through with whatever he did- with a mindful, and thorough approach, which also benefited the space in general. All the best Rupert 🙏
