Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Ayudamos durante dos semanas. El hotel es absolutamente encantador, y es un lugar realmente maravilloso con vistas panorámicas de la ciudad de Oaxaca ^^. Nuestras tareas principales consistían en limpiar la casa de huéspedes, quitar las malas hierbas y realizar trabajos de mantenimiento general. Nos proporcionaron una habitación privada, por lo que estuvimos muy cómodos. Para las comidas, hay un supermercado cerca donde podíamos comprar nuestra propia comida y prepararla en la cocina. Rosi fue muy flexible con respecto a nuestro horario de trabajo preferido, por lo que fue estupendo poder ajustar nuestro horario y hacer las cosas. Los días que pasamos con la gente de WorkAway y la familia de Rosi fueron increíblemente agradables y se han convertido en recuerdos maravillosos para nosotros. Sin duda volveremos al hotel cuando visitemos Oaxaca de nuevo. ¡Muchas gracias! Traducción realizada con la versión gratuita del traductor DeepL.com

Since I arrived Tone had his hand wide open to welcome me. He is an intellectual, he likes new ideas and to adopt new ways of doing things. Very open communication.He is spiritually aware and a good listener🙏. I had a great time there. We did so many remarkable projects together and with others. Absolutely it takes my level one step higher. The place is beautiful, I interacted with the astonishing nature, with koalas and kookaburras and so many types of snakes. He is the greatest host 1000% recommended Love and respect for that beautiful community. Thanks Tone 😇

Staying with Cam and Bill was an awesome experience. Their farm is in a heavenly pretty place in the nature. You can go for lovley walks through the forest or to a near viewpoint (especially at sunset). If you like Birdwatching u will have a blast. Also having diner together every night was exciting and we had a lot of interesting conversations. The beach is not very far and thay have a pool. There are plenty beautiful hikes nearby. Also they let you use their workawayer car! Workwise its very straight forward: 5 hours 5 days/week, what we found is a fair deal. Cam and Bill are warm, kind and caring- high energy- humanbeings. We highly recommend staying with them! Thank you for having us!

Dorota (or Dorothy as we called her) was an absolute pleasure to host. We truly enjoyed having her stay with us for two weeks. She is a mature and thoughtful young woman, very interesting to talk to and with a great sense of humor. She is also a very hard worker. She got on well with every member of the family, and she was lovely with our dog and cat. We would have her back at any time.

My stay was absolutely amazing! Tom and Hollie are very thoughtful hosts and above all lovely people! From the moment I was greeted at the gate, I felt super welcome and comfortable. It is a beautiful place with abundant wildlife - I don't think I'll need to visit any national parks in Costa Rica, because the garden here felt like a zoo.. I could see toucans and monkeys from my bed, had hummingbirds flying around my head during yoga, admired sloths while having breakfast and let's not forget the company of adorable cats Uvita and Macarela. My two week stay was exactly what I needed to recharge my batteries and a perfect balance between socializing and having the time for myself. We did lots of fun things together - went to the beach, had movie nights, played pickleball with the local community (super fun!), hiked to the waterfalls and had lovely dinners every night, which were the highlights of the day. Hollie's meals were a treat, prepared with love and care and I felt like I was served by a private chef. We shared travel stories over food and I was always amazed by the adventures they've had since arriving to Costa Rica. It was really inspiring to learn how they keep creating the lifestyle they want for themselves. I loved waking up at sunrise and going to bed early, which felt awesome and enabled me to have plenty of free time. My work tasks included pruning, repotting plants, cleaning around the house, harvesting turmeric, refilling soap and nut butter.. never repetitive and Tom and Hollie made sure I wasn't working in the sun or rain. The humidity makes everything more tiring but I got used to it after a few days and starting early really helped. I would highly recommend staying with Hollie and Tom if you get the opportunity; definitely an unforgettable stay in Costa Rica and one that will be very hard to top. Thank you for having me and I really hope our paths will cross again :)

We had such a lovely time with Sergei, he’s really easygoing, down to earth, and happy. He has a certain calm about him that is contagious, always smiling, always with good positive vibes. He’s a good worker, he did a great job caring for the animals and also went above and beyond helping us with some extra projects. We had a tiny house to build and Sergei worked really hard to help get it done, in the hot sun, and he never complained about it. We had a party and he cooked a thousand falafels, again, with a calm grace about him and a big smile 😊 He’s great with kids, our daughter spent lots of time with him, wandering around the garden, chatting like old friends, playing drum together, having fun… I highly recommend Sergei, he’s trustworthy, easygoing, friendly and dedicated to his work. He understands and respects personal space too. We’d be happy to host him again 🥰

I stayed for two weeks with Alva, Duncan, and their family, and let me tell you I was really emotional when I left. It was my first Workaway experience and my first time in Australia, and I couldn’t have hoped for anything better. Their welcome was incredibly warm. Alva and Duncan are very accommodating and even offered to drive us into town every day so we could explore the area. The place itself is beautiful and peaceful, with stunning sunsets. I was able to help out in the hay fields and with the housekeeping for the glamping site. I highly recommend this Workaway experience without hesitation. Thank you again for welcoming me. Rivka 🫶

We spent three wonderful weeks with Lorraine, Arnie and Ben, and we would like to thank them from the bottom of our hearts for their exceptional hospitality. It was our very first Workaway experience, and we couldn't have dreamed of a better way to start. From the moment we arrived, the whole family made us feel at home and took care of us throughout our stay. Working for them was a real pleasure. They always showed their appreciation for every little task we completed, which made the experience even more motivating and enjoyable. Their kindness, trust and goodwill made this first Workaway an experience we will always remember fondly. Thank you again to the whole family for three weeks rich in exchanges, learning and good humour. We recommend them 100%! Léane and Carla

We loved having Monika-fun, intelligent, inquisitive, and eager to help . Plus a great cook! She fitted in well here at the farm! We wish her well on her journey!

Erick was an amazing volunteer and a great addition to our team. He is very active, energetic, and always brings a positive vibe wherever he goes. He’s also an excellent cook — he helped us so much with our family dinners and always made them special. Erick contributed great ideas, took real care of the space, and consistently made the hostel better. He has that warm South American soul that makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable. We truly enjoyed having him with us and highly recommend him to any host.

Anna was truly a blessing to have at our wake park , she is an absolute gem. Her smile, her warmth, and her willingness to help in every moment brought such a beautiful, positive energy to our place. She learned everything so quickly and handled every task with grace , from training guests, keeping the park clean and organized, helping with operations, to supporting daily maintenance. Whatever we asked, she did it with enthusiasm, sincerity, and so much heart. She’s incredibly efficient and always gives her best. Her morning yoga sessions were something special (Kundilini yoga ) filled with calmness, energy, and so much positivity. They set the perfect tone for the day, not just for us but for everyone around.She also have deep knowledge about spritual stuff ,we learned a lot from her , What we loved most about Anna was her commitment to doing things the right way. She truly cares about the quality of her work, she’s thoughtful, and always looking for ways to help without being asked. Her cheerful presence made every day brighter, and our guests felt instantly comfortable and welcomed by her. We would welcome Anna back anytime, with open arms. She comes with our highest recommendation any host would be lucky to have her, and she will undoubtedly bring value, positivity, and love wherever she goes.

We loved our stay with Kyle, Monica, Harrison and Hudson. We were welcomed with a lovely bbq and some of their very interesting and lovely friends. Their home reared cow was delicious and as close to low air miles as it gets! Monica's food was always healthy and delicious. They truly made us feel welcome and part of their lovely little family. We stayed in a beautiful spacious bell tent nestled in the trees with an an enormous bed with a great bed frame Kyle made! Glowworms and stars are an absolute treat. We learned so much from them both about trees, plants, woodwork, horticulture, food forest, land management and so much more! We loved leaving our little mark on their special land by helping out where we could. The highlight was the bridge we built in the bush. Made us quite proud! Thanks to Kyle for trusting us with his wood and tools. And what a bonus to spend time with a truly friendly and lovely dog and the most smiley and smartest one year old we've ever met!

It was a pleasure having Hugo come and stay with us. He is a respectful, thoughtful, conscientious and punctual young men. He followed instructions well and put effort into the tasks we asked him to do. There was a lot achieved in our garden with his help. We appreciated how he was quick to help cleaning up after meals and offering his help in our home.

We spent eight wonderful days with Mandy and Rob in their lovely home. During our stay, we helped Mandy with the regeneration and maintenance of native plants on the Māori land beside their property. Our work included cutting back invasive weeds - gorse (terrible stuff!) and lupin - and transplanting young native trees to new areas. Whenever the sun got too hot, Mandy made sure we moved to shaded spots, and we always paused for a tea break around the halfway point of our work. Mandy was incredibly friendly and welcoming, offering plenty of recommendations for local walking tracks. On our day off, she and Rob even took us out on their yacht for a private tour of the Sounds. When we spotted dolphins, Rob steered us closer, giving us an amazing up-close view. We also joined Mandy for bait trapping around the Sounds—a truly unique experience. From riding in the dinghy as Mandy rowed us ashore to being towed by Rob in the yacht from bay to bay, it was an adventure we won’t forget. Thank you Mandy and Rob for welcoming us into your home!

Sorry for late to give you feedback, We just get our profile back. We would to like say thank you for Clara and Noemie for help us at farm and help for cook and take care of our daughter Hirain. We hope you enjoy with us. and wish you happy with you trip. Thank you Sophea Hiro and Hirain

Estuvimos unos días ayudando en la casa de Sybille y fueron días estupendos. Ayudamos en lo que se necesitaba según el día. Aunque Sybille no estuvo presente, mantuvimos contacto con ella siempre y nos apoyaba Andrea de manera presencial para cordinar las necesidades del día a día. Repetiríamos y esperamos que más workaways dejen su granito de arena para hacer de la casa un lugar más maravilloso.

It was a pleasure to get to know you! Even though I wasn't able to be there in person, Nawal was always eager for video calls and quick messages. Nawal is a very responsible and easygoing person, and you'll really enjoy spending time with her and learning a lot about traveling and tours. She's also a talented writer and photographer. We all appreciated Nawal for her patience and her kind heart! Thank you once again!

I spent a month in Mike's oasis near the center of Oaxaca and loved it. Not only do you get to know Mike and his family, you also become part of the team. As I mostly helped with the cooking classes, I got to know José, Juanito, and Vicky (mama Vicky for me :)). what's different from the usual workaway (it's all positive): - you become part of a team of Mexican people, some of which don't speak English, so you'll feel at home learn Spanish - you can join Mike's crazy sports life if you would like. he practices mountain bike, running, bouldering, alpinism, and much more. I went to Pico Orizaba (5636m mountain) with him and still think of it as my favorite memory of the trip. I also went bouldering with him sometimes, which is super nice. - You choose what you work on, and when. I love cooking so I helped with the cooking classes, which span from 9am to 4pm. that's 7 hours, which is more than the usual 4, but that's understandable. imagine one of your chefs leaves from the cooking class you booked. This doesn't mean that you can't leave it, for example because you planned a tour or need to call, it means that it is expected that if you can, you do the entire class. this also means that you can take more days off. I did a long 4 day trip to Puerto escondido and that was perfectly fine. I would definitely recommend this place to others

Ms. Huang is running such a meaningful program for the local community. You can easily see that she is forward-thinking and recognizes how important it is for the younger generation to learn English. I’m really glad I went there and met her. She is a patient mother, a dedicated teacher, and a wonderful woman. Sometimes I even find myself wondering where all her powerful positive energy comes from. Get some rest, Ms. Huang — even Superman needs enough rest. With good rest, you can keep that positive energy going in a healthy and sustainable way. I encourage everyone to go there, support Ms. Huang, and support this meaningful project.

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting Luisa & Lulu, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were incredibly helpful, kind, fun to have around, and truly a joy to host. Their positive energy and willingness to jump into any task made such a difference, and we’re especially grateful for the care and attention they gave to our animals — they clearly put their hearts into everything they did. Thank you both for the time, effort, and kindness you shared during your stay. You’re welcome back anytime, and we wish you all the very best in your future travels and adventures. ❤️🐾
