Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Konatsu (Kona) was a wonderful guest and an absolute pleasure to host. She was kind, curious, and very communicative, always making an effort to connect and engage thoughtfully. She was also extremely considerate, accommodating, and respectful of our family’s needs and shared spaces. Beyond being a wonderful guest, she was also a lovely presence: engaging, eager to learn, and genuinely interested in cultural exchange. We shared many meaningful conversations, meals, and experiences together, and time with her always felt easy and enjoyable. Konatsu is reliable, warm-hearted, and truly easy to host. I would happily recommend her to any host and would welcome her back anytime.

Sonia and Levent are fantastic people! We really enjoyed the time we spent with them and, of course, with the cats. They are very friendly and open, and communication between us was excellent. The stay itself was very comfortable. It was our first time on Workaway, and we are very satisfied! We recommend it if you want to feel like at home :)

We were supposed to stay here for about ten days, but it ended up being 20! We had so much fun, worked, and met some amazing people! Georgio is really kind and lets you decide when to work and what to do! The food is truly delicious, and Amalia is an excellent cook! (Giorgio too! ajajaj) You live in the middle of the jungle but with all the comforts, and the nearby town is very convenient for getting to Tulum and Playa del Carmen whenever you want! A truly wonderful memory! Thanks for everything! To Geraldine, Georgio, Amalia, Antony, but above all Ladju e Kaju!!!

Camille and Erika are truly wonderful people, incredibly kind, fun, and very easy-going. From the very first day, they brought a great energy into our home. Their lovely dog Milo immediately bonded with our youngest daughter, and was very easy to live with. They supported us with two very different tasks. First, they helped paint the walls of a house, and they exceeded all our expectations. They were extremely efficient, hard-working, well organized, and always proactive. We could fully trust them! Later on, they also spent time taking care of our two daughters, who instantly adopted them. Camille and Erika were caring, attentive, and playful, and our girls felt comfortable and happy with them right away. Beyond the help, we shared many meaningful and interesting conversations and truly enjoyed spending time together. We would be delighted to welcome them back anytime and to see them again in the future. We feel very grateful and lucky to have crossed paths with them.

Giorgia stayed with us for a month and we were very happy to have her here. She is a great person, always asking if we need help, calm and responsible, I can rely on and totally trust her for taking care of my kids. From reading, creative play and always find a good way to interact with our 5yo daughter. She is also a great cooker and an authentic person. Thank you so much for your help!

Mustafa stayed in our farmhouse for two months and was a great help where ever he was needed. Unfortunately, I was not able to stay there during the whole period of time he was there, but he was also great help in accepting deliveries for the house needed by the workers, still doing renovation work. Mustafa gave a helping hand when ever he was asked for assistance. He enjoyed making fire in the stove so we could do the cooking together. He also made sure there was always enough wood for the fire which had to be brought in from the wood shelter. My two dogs adore Mustafa and they will be very sad next time we arrive in Tirol and he will not be there. To watch him play with them outside was absolutely touching. Sometimes it was not easy to find the shoes Jinglebella had taken out into the snow. Anyway, we wish Mustafa all the best for finding an appropriate job and we hope to see him again once he is around.

My stay with this great family was a very good one! They are friendly and don’t hesitate to bring you into their lives, making you feel like a real member of the family. The work was clear from the start: helping on the farm in any way you can. Radu was a great teacher in renovation and construction. He always tried to explain why we were doing each task and what the final result would be. I learned a lot from him. The children were, of course, full of life and energy, and I had a lot of fun playing with them. Lucie was very sweet; she always invited me to join them for family outings and did her best to make me feel at home. In summary, it was a Workaway experience that is a true example of great cooperation.

At Pure’s farm, we spent one of the best weeks of our entire trip. He has created a wonderful place where you build special connections with people from all over the world, learn something new every day, and stay in close contact with unspoiled nature. Pure is carrying forward a beautiful project, and we are happy to have contributed, even if only in a small way. We loved being there so much that, like many other volunteers, we’ll try to come back! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — thank you again for everything!

I had such a lovely first work away experience with Judy and Nick. They were very open, generous, and kind. They encouraged as well to see some of the surroundings of this area in France. I worked in the garden, took care of the horses and chickens, walked their little dog Polly, picked fruits and made jam. I had a great time. Thanks a lot Judy and Nick.

We spent relaxing and enjoyable weeks working for Jade and Shekhar. Their place is without a doubt the coolest spot in Arambol, and every evening you can enjoy great live music with a wonderful crowd. We helped in content creation activities in order to promote live music nights. All the staff members were friendly and helpful , as Jade and Shekhar. We truly had a great time! Thank you again

My stay at Vilia's place was such a great experience. We were a great group or workawayers and she was an amazing host! Very welcoming and active, we shared many dinners, lunches and activities together. I truly felt like we become a little family. She took us to many places and showed us around, integrated us to the local communities and let us experience a local and authentic life. I enjoyed working on all tasks around her Vila, from gardening, painting, cleaning and many others. The location has beautiful views, surronded by nature and there is the sea on one side and mountains on the other which makes it very special. I will always have very warm memories to these beautiful times :)

Mimori and Keisuke were nice and lovely couple. They observed house rules very well and kept the room clean. They were one of our best volunteers so far. Appreciate their hard works at our farm for the past 2 weeks. They were very self disciplined, every tasked given were done well. Composting, sowing seeds, weeding, pruning, repairing chicken coop, building new fire pit and making short video. They really helped us to complete a lot of our pending works. Really appreciate it and highly recommended to other hosts! Do not hesitate to accept them as your volunteers.

Ashlee, a bright young lady from Australia, was very hardworking and managed every task extremely well, often working alongside me and handling responsibilities independently when needed. She showed special care, patience, and deep love for her three “roommate” dogs — Holly, Lulu, and Matz — treating them truly like family. We shared every moment together: fun times, tiring days, delicious meals, and even moments of sadness. Her positive, easygoing, and kind vibe always lifted my spirits and brought warmth to our home. Thanks to Ashlee, the dogs were always well cared for and happy. We feel very lucky to have had her with us. Wishing her a wonderful Christmas and a joyful New Year as she continues her journey through Southeast Asia 🎄✨

Léo & Eloise were a pleasure to host and quickly became great members of our team. Everyone was really impressed with their work ethic and also great people to hang out with. We wish them all the best and hope to see them back again one day. Merci

I spent two weeks in a quiet village with a family and their four kids. The kids were incredibly energetic and friendly. Every day was full of movement playing outside, helping with small tasks, and sharing meals together. Their energy was amazing, and through spending time with them, I learned many things beyond just Finnish culture, especially about family life and daily routines. I mainly cooked lunch and dinner, which I really enjoyed. Cooking for a big family and sharing meals together was a fun experience. I visited in November, which is a very quiet season, and there was no wifi. While it may not be suitable for digital nomads, it is a great place for those who want a true offline experience and cultural exchange! Kiitos paljon hyvästä kokemuksesta!!

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the two young women from Austria who became a part of our farm during this special time. Both of you brought so much positive energy, kindness, and a genuine willingness to help — whether in the kitchen preparing meals or working alongside us on the farm. Everything you did was filled with care, enthusiasm, and beautiful smiles. Your physical effort and heartfelt support made our farm feel warmer, more lively, and truly meaningful. We are sincerely thankful for the dedication and positive spirit you shared with us. We hope that your journey — traveling through different places around the world, including your time living and working at our farm — will become a meaningful experience that you can share with others, inspiring and connecting people across the globe. We wish you a journey filled with wonderful memories, and we truly hope our paths will cross again someday 💚

Allow me to offer a few words of sincere appreciation for the time you so kindly spent under my roof. Though your stay was brief, it left an impression of uncommon quality. I can state with full conviction that you were among the finest volunteers I have had the pleasure to host. Every task entrusted to you was carried out with care, calm diligence, and admirable precision. In matters of order and cleanliness, your work reached a level of near perfection — the house shone as a result of your efforts. Permit me, however, a more personal observation. I could not escape the feeling that your talents were not fully employed in this place. Your erudition, broad historical knowledge, and command of language would lend themselves most naturally to the teaching of English and history. It was for this reason, and with genuine respect, that I came to address you — half in jest, yet wholly in admiration — as “Professor”, for your intellect was at once humbling and inspiring. Please accept these lines as a token of my gratitude and highest esteem. I wish you every success, and trust that your abilities will always find the recognition they so clearly deserve.
