Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Jacob es un voluntario con una gran fuerza física mental y emocional y espiritual super inspirador con una energía que recarga el ambiente de alegría y entusiasmo . Un chico muy buena onda . Increíblemente colaborador .muy simpático.

This has been one of the best volunteering experiences I've had so far. They take really good care of you from the first moment, they show you and teach you culture, local places, how to help and volunteer there and much more. I felt like one more of their beautiful family group. I definitely recommend it, thanks Kui and everybody!

Bianca and Sarah were great to have around the stable and home! They are kind and courteous girls with an eagerness to learn and try new things 😊 They did well with our horses and other animals and learned the chores and routine quickly. It was great to watch them grow and experience life in Canada while they were here and go home with new ambitions and goals. We will miss you guys, good luck on your new adventures and maybe we will see you again soon! Brei and Shelly

carlos and his family were lovely and the place was nice too. the work wasent too hard, i did a bit of genral work around thw gardern and heloed move the stuctures of the tiny houces. carlos and his family also took me too see some local places nearby

yes yes, yes! Hire Fabienne. Her positivity is incredible and was so valuable for me during her stay. It was not easy but Fabienne always managed to find a way to make things work out well for the whole family. She was excellent with the kids, they really liked her and she helped me a lot when I went travelling for work. I also appreciated her maturity when taking initiative and setting the schedule for her day, taking initiative when needed, and stopping when needed to, which is a great as our family routine can be impredictable.

I spent 3 months in Amsterdam working with Inge, on a variety of gardens and projects all over Amsterdam. Inge is the best host I could have asked for for my first work away experience. She is very passionate about gardens and the natural world, and is a great teacher. She welcomed me to her home where I had my own room and a shared bathroom to use. The work varied from light garden maintenance to complete garden projects from start to finish, including moving materials into the garden, working with tiling team to build tiled areas and fences, and finishing touches of laying the plants. The workawayer can expect to work more than 5 hours a day sometimes, Inge is very flexible on this with communication. I highly recommend this opportunity if you are passionate about gardens, and if you love good food, as Inge is a fantastic cook!

It was very helpful to have Paula around. For her age she is an excellent cook and very good at woodwork and DIY! I recommend her vegan dishes to any family,. She built a great surf rack for us and worked well with her time, giving it all. Unfortunately on our side the children were not receptive but that was due to their teenage attitudes. Wishing Paula wonderful travels further, she has a lot of great ideas for the next few weeks!

J’ai passé un séjour vraiment agréable chez Ludwig et sa famille – les deux semaines sont passées à toute vitesse ! Ludwig est passionné et possède une connaissance impressionnante de la taille des oliviers et des amandiers. Surtout, il prend le temps d’expliquer et de montrer comment tailler, ce qui est très appréciable. D’ailleurs, vous pouvez proposer vos idées de tâches : Ludwig aime l’initiative et fait confiance. La maison est accueillante, on cuisine beaucoup et on partage les repas ensemble en discutant et rigolant. J’ai été accueillie comme un membre de la famille. Beaucoup d’amis passent régulièrement, mais il y a toujours la possibilité d’avoir du temps pour soi. Raquel et les deux enfants sont revenus pour la fin de mon séjour, ce qui a été un vrai plaisir. Le mode de vie off-grid fonctionne parfaitement : wifi, électricité, eau chaude… tout comme ailleurs. Et même en novembre, la maison était parfaitement chauffée au bois. Dans les environs, je recommande le Monastère Royal de Santes Creus (magnifique !) et de flâner à Valls pour voir la vieille ville et l’église Sant Joan. Il y a aussi une très jolie marche dans la forêt derrière la maison. Un super séjour, je recommande à 100 % !

2 weeks was not enough!! Time in this amazing place just flies by. Dan is the most wonderful host, I loved chatting to him every day, hearing little snippets of his interesting life and learning from his wisdom on many topics. We picked olives in the morning and got to see the whole process of turning it into Olive Oil which was great. It was also flexible enough for me to work a couple hours in the afternoons which suited me perfectly. I even got to experience a Guajares Nature Event which was awesome, great to meet people from the surrounding towns and see the place thrive. I loved the other volunteers that I met there, everybody had great stories, music and games to share. The surrounding nature is also worth a stay here, so many beautiful hikes. I will be back! Thanks Dan :)))

Corrina is a such a bada$$!! She rode her bike here from Cancun over the course of several weeks! And she’s fluent in 6 languages! So impressive! She arrived with her partner Emile, who travelled by bus. They are such a sweet, self sufficient couple! Corrina brought all their camping gear too! They are both very interesting people to speak with, and we had a great time together. They are both SUPER HARD WORKING, with joyful, fun and positive attitudes! They took initiative and did tasks they knew needed to be done without me having to ask, which is something I greatly appreciate! Emile is like a living radio and is always humming by or singing 🎶 songs ! So fun!! He also made us a delicious meal from South Africa called maafe! It was an explosion of yumminess! It was an absolute pleasure to host these 2 for 2 weeks! I highly recommend to other hosts!

My husband and I spent a month with Claire and loved it! There were lots of opportunities to ride both horses and mowers, to walk the dogs, and do garden work. Claire very kindly never asked us to work in the rain! The location is beautiful, the accommodation very comfortable and Claire a fun, interesting and generous host!

I did stay one month in this elegant property and help mostly in the garden. I did prune many kind of trees: apple, plum, cherry and others. It was pleasure to stay with Allison and Nick, they are very friendly and the meals were excellent. The place is located in beautiful area, very nice to bike and explore valleys and hills there.

It was awesome to have you as part of the team, you have the nicest energy, always willing to help and with a big smile that is contagious. Thank you

Es una chica simpática, encantadora, educada, limpia, y lo mejor de todo, muy dulce con las niñas. Solamente puedo decir cosas buenas de ella. Ha sido un placer tenerla en nuestra casa.

It was a real pleasure to have you with us this November. From the very beginning, you approached each day with openness, curiosity, and a genuine desire to learn. We truly appreciated the way you embraced life here in Kampanos. In the studio work, the mountains, the stories, the food, and all the small moments that make this place what it is. Your willingness to learn, to help, and to be part of the team made a beautiful difference. Whether working with ceramics, sharing meals, or laughing and dancing with Marta, Bardy, and Irina, you brought your own kindness and talent to our little community, and we are grateful for that. She also created some really unique ceramic tiles for our village that we absolutely loved seeing come to life! We would happily recommend Giovanna to any future hosts. Thank you for all your contributions. We hope that Crete, the mountains, and the work here continue to inspire your future and hopefully our paths will cross again. Many things indeed happen here in Kampanos, and you are now part of its story.

Sono stata ospite di Stefania poco più di un mese ed è stata la cosa migliore che potesse capitarmi in un periodo difficile della mia vita. Cercavo pace, calma e tranquillità ed è quello che ho trovato. Mi sono innamorata subito della sua casa e della campagna che la circonda, ma soprattutto mi sono innamorata dei suoi amici a 4 zampe, in particolare del "Rosso" il gatto che rimarrà nel mio cuore per la sua dolcezza e la sua infinita fame :)) Stefania è stata in grado di mettermi subito a mio agio e la sua casa è stata per me, come se fosse la mia. Consiglio di andare se sei amante della campagna e vuoi allontanarti dal caos della città. Se poi hai esperienza di orticoltura è praticamente perfetto in quanto potrai, senza sforzo, occuparti con gli alberi da frutto ed il verde che circonda la casa. Le auguro veramente tutto il meglio perché se lo merita :)

I believe it’s never too late to write a recognition message to one of the most wonderful volunteers we have hosted. During her stay at the school ,Leni was a good asset the the students ,teachers and the other volunteers.She is a hard working,very committed and one of the friendliest volunteers we have hosted I consider myself very lucky to have hosted Lény and I hope to see her again and again

Graham was a lovely presence in the house during his stay and was a great help. He is easy going and flexible, happy to help and turn his hand to whatever project is needed. I found him to be thoughtful in his work too, wanting to do a good job and leave things looking well. He helped me create some lovely wooden shelving in my kitchen as well as other small woodwork projects. It was lovely to have his guitar playing and singing each evening too. Graham was also independent, happy to take the bicyle on his free time and go exploring and joining in activities in the community. Highly recommend Graham :)

Emanuela is a wonderful hardworking and committed person.During her stay at the academy ,Emanuela gained people’s love and respect.Our students and teachers and the other volunteers she was staying with loved her so much and couldn’t part with her. We consider ourselves very lucky to have hosted one of the most hardworking and friendliest volunteer and we hope to see her again and again I strongly recommend Emanuela to any host looking for hardworking, kind hearted and committed workwayers and I will always cherish the hope to see her again and again

Comme première expérience en workaway, je recommande sans hésiter ! J'ai passé environ une semaine dans cette charmante maison, aux côtés de Dominique, Tiffen, et 4 moutons vraiment adorables. Ici, on ne s'ennuie pas et on mange (très) bien - mention spéciale pour la crêpe ratatouille! Au cours de ce workaway, Dominique avait surtout besoin d'aide pour désherber et entretenir le jardin et les plantations, poncer et peindre. Elle est flexible au niveau des horaires, très pratique pour aller profiter du coucher de soleil à la plage et piquer une tête :)
