Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Kiara stayed with me for a week in November 2025. She helped me with cleaning, organising and gardening chores. She was very helpful, organised and a pleasure to have around. We had some lovely chats and she helped me with my open studio event.

Madoka was a great help in our home, she helped us with cleaning, delicious cooking and is patient, friendly and fun with the children. She was always aware of the safety and well-being of our children. He made a very good relationship with us and with our family in general. She is a person who likes to collaborate, mature, educated and her food is spectacular She is welcome to our home many more times. We are going to miss her a lot.

I volenteered for a week and I loved it we preperd the hostel for a surf weekend, cleaning and arranging the place for hosting. at day had a lot of time to enjoy the garden, the dogs, the sun, the beach, the towns around. and every night after dinner we talked a lot. I felt really safe to be myself, to host and cook and to take breaks when i needed. Mateo and Mar are amazing, funny and nice. they answerd gladly and patiently for every question i had about bioconstrucción and the area. thank you guys for giving me a home and a listening ear :-) I super recommend volenteering

Thanks to Pat and John, I spent a surprisingly fulfilling time despite my short stay for 6 days. Their land is peaceful, quiet and beautiful. It was a wonderful memory to relax and enjoy the sunset with them. I worked with John and amazed at his knowledge and skills about gardening, forest maintenance, bushfire management, electrical work and operating heavy machinery⋯etc. Pat is a very kind person and a great cook, and I enjoyed every meal she cooked. I am really inspired by not only their lifstyle but also their life itself. They know how to enjoy a life and are one of the happiest people I have ever met. Thank you so much for hosting me this time. I will be back in the near future.

These guys are so cool! They welcomed me with open arms, literally, and with only a couple days notice. They gave me the opportunity to let my creativeness run wild. They trusted me to work with different elements, wood, paint, mud, fire, knot tying. Laughing at silly jokes with Ruby and Junot was awesome. And cuddling one of the 13 cats who are always wanting attention! Going for walks on the prairie in the evening, at night or early morning (covered in ice) is beautiful. The whole family is so dedicated to helping other people and you can see it shining from within. Anaïs

Claire has been a true hero that I will not soon forget. She steps up to the plate and helps anyone in need. I was one of them and she took me in and showed what a true Canadian really is. Any one looking for a peaceful place in exchange for an honest day of work will appreciate this place. Thanks again Claire and hope we meet again soon.

Thomas was wonderful to have with us this Fall. He helped me build my small Barn/Shed and he is very skilled at his trade. We really lucked out having him here on the Farm. He helped feed the Hogs and the Chickens work in the garden and get stuff ready for the winter season . We are grateful that he stayed longer to help with finishing the hogs. He was a great companion to us as well playing board and card games and fit right into the family here. Our door is always open to him any time he wants to visit in the future. We highly recommend him to any host. Thanks so much Thomas, enjoy Ottawa

Amandine was wonderful to host. We had a busy schedule and the time flew by quickly. She is a wonderful young lady who is easy to co-habitat with. She worked hard and was aways thinking forward about the various activities we worked on. We would be happy to host her any time in the future and wish her the best on her future travels.

beautiful remote property out in the jungle. Really feel part of the forest and was made to feel very welcome. Given lots of freedom to do what work I please (build a roofed platform) chazuta is the nearby town and was very warm and welcoming but a 30 min tuktuk ride. wpuld certainly go again! Thankyou for having us!!

Shayna and Lewis are absolute top tier volunteers and humans. They went above and beyond with everything they did and were incredibly competent, proactive and considerate. When they first arrived they house sat for us for six days. They were keen for a list of jobs to do when we were away so i gave them a selection to choose from. When we got home our entire wishlist was completed! Similarly, the other days we had to go out we arrived home to a delicious meal, help unloading and everything at home taken care of. They helped with everything from preparing new garden beds, moving rocks, house demolition to salvage building materials and so much more! We would wholeheartedly recommend these legends

I stayed in Edu´s paradise during almost 3 months and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn new skills in gardening, impermeabilization of the roof, paining of the facade, plastering a wall with texture among others. The weather was a massive challenge, because most of the tasks where outdoors, but having the right mindset, flexibility and adaptability, almost everything is achievable. His house was a dream and the best workaway place that I have ever been to. It was awesome to be surrounded by the nature and to wake up to the chirping of the birds. Edu provided the groceries, and he was always generous. I wish him and to his family many blessings.

Erianna brought a wonderful warmth to our team. While her overall performance was steady, what truly made her shine was the genuine way she connected with everyone in the social area. She has a natural kindness and ease in her interactions, which helped create a friendly and comfortable environment for participants and staff alike. We’re grateful for the heart and positivity she brought to her volunteer role, and we truly appreciated having her with us!

I had the greates time at this reserve. Out in the mountains, away from the noise of the city, this place was incredible. All the work was incredibly impactful and important, and we felt we were actually part of the project, which was beautiful. I felt appreciated and heard, which was beautiful. Fulmar and Ray, the couple leading the reserve, were the kindest human beings. It was so fun working with them and later hanging out, talking, singing and enjoying life. I had the best time and can only recommend this Workaway. I hope to come back to this place one day❤️

We had a great stay at Vambi's restaurant/hostel. Our room was comfortable and we had excellent vegetarian food for breakfast and dinner (sometimes lunch). The semi-volunteering option was a great fit for us as we paida small amount and worked about 1 hour a day. The jobs were easy cleaning jobs and this was well communicated and we had all the supplies to do it. Communication was great and we managed to do all we wanted in La Paz whilst staying and working. Thank you Vambi for a great stay! We would definitely recommend!

Paul has created something really special here. It was such a lovely place to experience and be part of. He was open to new ideas, and even though there were a few long, rainy days (thanks to the slow internet), it was hard to leave (cat also may have influenced this!) The location was so peaceful. The hikes nearby are unbelievable, the landscapes incredible. Meeting the locals up in the mountains was also really sweet- everyone I met was so warm and friendly. I was also lucky enough to try Samir’s farm-to-fork cooking, which was incredible! And Paul was super helpful when I was planning my onward travels. All in all, a beautiful Workaway, and I’m really grateful for the experience, thanks Paul!

Sofia was one of the most high-spirited and positive people we’ve ever hosted. Her energy lifted our home every single day, and she helped us so much during her stay. She is also an excellent cook , everything she made was delicious, and we truly enjoyed her meals. We loved having her with us, and our baby adored her just as much as we did. Her presence brought joy, kindness, and great vibes to our family. We are very grateful for the time she spent with us and wish her the best wherever she goes!

Laura was a truly great person to have in our home. She is friendly, easygoing, and very intelligent , a combination that made her company genuinely enjoyable for everyone. She also cooks exceptionally well; every meal she prepared was delicious, and we loved discovering her kitchen. We all really appreciated her stay with us and are grateful for the care and positivity she brought into our home. We wish her all the best on her journey!

Jenna was truly the most high-spirited and fun person we’ve ever welcomed into our home. She brought so much joy, laughter, and positivity to our days that her presence is deeply missed , all of us absolutely loved her. She is kind, upbeat, and full of good energy. With Jenna, there is no such thing as a bad day , she wakes up with a huge smile, shares the best laughs, and spreads happiness everywhere she goes. Our baby completely fell in love with her, and the bond they created was beautiful to see. Her stay resulted in a lovely friendship that we will cherish for a long time. We wish her all the best in everything she does, and she is welcome back anytime she wants , our door will always be open for her.

Joseph was an excellent volunteer for us. Always smiling, always in a good mood, and his work was impeccably done.

Marta is a gem. She follows instructions carefully and is both efficient and diligent with the work. In her short time with us, she singlehandedly cleared two acres of weed trees. Marta is a wonderful story teller, a good conversationalist and delightful house guest. The big secret is the cinnamon buns she bakes! So delicious.
