Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings

Katrina (for us Kathy) stayed with us for a week in January and participated in the food forest. In doing so, she braved the harsh winter cold, both during the day while working and at night in the unheated tatami room. But her energy and enjoyment in working were no less. She dug planting holes, mixed the excavated soil with organic material, and thus helped prepare for tree planting. Kathy is not only a fast and hard worker, but also a pleasure to be around: social, smart and good-humoured. We enjoyed her company. She also demonstrated excellent team spirit and shared her stay and work with a fellow workawayer in a perfect way. Kathy also proved herself to be an excellent photographer and a singer-songwriter! In every respect: a fantastic Workaway guest!

Rosa stayed with us for a week in January and participated in the food forest. In doing so, she braved the harsh winter cold, both during the day while working outside and at night in the unheated tatami room. But her energy and enjoyment in working were no less. She dug planting holes, mixed the excavated soil with organic material, burnt bamboo and thus helped prepare for tree planting. Rosa is not only a fast and hard worker, but also a pleasure to be around: social, smart and good-humoured. We enjoyed her company. She also demonstrated excellent team spirit and shared her stay and work with a fellow workawayer in a perfect way. Multilingual, she was very motivated to use and improve her Japanese. In every respect: a fantastic Workaway guest!

Andrea is an amazing volunteer with such a lovely personality. She has a natural way of connecting with people and blended into our community perfectly. She is a fantastic team player—always happy, fun to be around, and so willing to cooperate in every activity we did. Whether it was teaching English to the kids (who absolutely adore her!) or jumping into other projects, she always gave it her all. We especially want to thank her for modeling and helping with created videos for our media and her own. It has really helped put our community on the map. Thank you, Andrea, for everything! We hope so much to welcome back you again on your next trip to Thailand.

I stayed two weeks with Kathy and Ged and i absolutely loved it. It's good for people who like a lot free time and be independent but still have a little bit of structure.🥰 I had so much fun working with Ged and the other girls. It's easy work around the stable like feeding or cleaning or different tasks but all absolutely easy. In the morning and between the work shifts i had really good talks with Ged or/and Kathy. In the evening Ged drove us to the pub or offered us to drive us to the train station on our days off. All in all i had a amazing, resetting time there with a lots of laughters, fun and talks. (and the dogs are absolutely adorable)☺️ I can highly recommend this place to everyone!!

A lovely couple stayed two weeks with us. We really enjoying having them. They both are super friendly , easy going , kind , very hard working. They both have chilled personality. I really appreciated about Jonathan & Sarah help and the time they spent with us. Highly highly reccomennd to any host.

We had an absolutely wonderful time with Jana . It was simply wonderful ,heart warming , effortless and full of joy. Jana is a beautiful soul, compassionate, hard working, gentle and kind. In summary if you would like to host a pleasant , engaging , trustworthy, responsible , respectful, mature, warm humorous and knowledgeable person than Jana is a person for you.

I was helping out for a few days at Cléments project in mid december 2025 and I had an amazing experience!! He is a very kind, caring & patient person and a fun time to be around. From the moment I met him I felt really comfortable. While we were up the mountain he made really clear instructions on the daily work tasks all while making sure that there was no rush and we could enjoy our time up there. It was the three of us, since there was another volunteer too. The work tasks included harvesting beans and carrots, planting some trees and improving one of the cabins walls. He also explained us more about his project planting wax palms which was very interesting. Clément is a really good cook so breakfast, lunch and dinner were a feast! Not forgetting about the hot chocolate in the afternoon :)) His hut is quite rustical but gives it so much character and the surroundings and the views are beautiful. Also his dogs are the sweetest! I really enjoyed the simple life up there and the team work. I will try to be back one day and can’t wait to see where his project is going. All the best, Fiona

Nuestra experiencia con Jess y Dan fue genial. Fueron casi dos semanas donde pasamos un tiempo súper lindo lleno de muchas sonrisas, comida rica, actividades de bioconstrucción, jardín, películas y un muy buen grupo de voluntarios. Jess y Dan son muy amables. Siempre tenían la disposición por ayudar en cualquier actividad que realizamos. Son muy divertidos y aunque están aprendiendo el español tienen la mejor actitud para tener un muy buen tiempo con todos. Damos gracias por tan lindos momentos y por dos personas tan lindas que vinieron a nuestra casa como lo son Jess y Dan. Las mejores energías en todo lo que hagan y esperamos verles pronto de nuevo chicxs 😊👍🏼🎋🛖

Joel y compañía nos ayudarán mucho en las cabañas, una de las ayuda era ayudarnos a pintar y lo hicieron muy bien! Joel aunque no habla bien español pudimos entendernos tiene mucha energía , siempre estarán dispuestos ayudar en lo que necesiten , les encanta arreglar y aprovechen sus habilidades de carpintería es bueno en eso! Los recomiendo al 100! Si tienen la oportunidad, acepta! Les ayudarán en todo.

Staying with this host in Sri Lanka was a very positive and enriching experience. Communication before arrival was easy, clear, and already very helpful, as I received practical tips that made me feel well prepared and comfortable as a solo female traveler from the very beginning. I gained a genuine insight into Sri Lankan culture through everyday activities such as cooking delicious authentic local food with Kusum, shopping at markets, visiting temples, and going on trips into the city with Nihal and Kusum. I was always treated with kindness and consideration, and small routines like daily tea breaks made the stay feel very welcoming. They’ve treated me like I was their daughter. I could ask questions at any time and received many helpful tips for traveling safely in Sri Lanka. I also learned a lot about local wildlife, had interesting discussions with Nihal, and enjoyed nice conversations with Sithara and Kusum. Learning some basic Sinhala, borrowing English books, and trying many local dishes were additional highlights. The location is peaceful and idyllic, making it easy to slow down and relax. I grew quite attached to the family in a short time, and I know I will miss them. Time passed quickly, and I would recommend this Workaway experience without hesitatieon.

We stayed at Rei-san’s place for about five weeks and had a truly great experience. Rei is a kind and welcoming host, and Phoebe is an amazing dog who quickly became part of our daily life. There are many things to do around Rei’s place, and the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. The work was very easy and straightforward, simply about getting the tasks done, and usually took around three hours a day. Occasionally, Rei-san invited us to join his English lessons, which was a highlight for us. We got to meet his students, had a lot of fun, and learned more about Japan and Japanese culture through those interactions. We also really enjoyed watching Formula 1 races together with Rei-san. It was great fun, with lots of banter and discussions about different teams, which made us feel very much at home. We even had a small reunion several months later, while traveling through Tambsa-Sassayama, and got to catch up for 1 day. It was great! Overall, staying with Rei-san was a fantastic experience, and we would happily recommend his place to anyone considering a Workaway there.

If you love food, coffee, and music, you’ll love it here. I spent nearly three weeks at Lane’s rancho and loved every bit of it. I was spoiled with amazing fresh meals every day and felt really well cared for by Lane (and the dogs). The work was enjoyable and never too difficult. I also loved spending time with Lane’s neighbor and friend Patricia, who took me on a magical morning trip to the waterfalls. Lane is very funny, has an eclectic taste in music and is just great company. Ojo de Agua is a special place, and I’m very grateful for the experience. If you’re considering volunteering here, do it!

Tiffany was an absolute delight. She is positive, enthusiastic, kind, calm, respectful, motivated and generous. While staying with me she helped with cleaning, cooking and gardening. Every request was graciously recieved and actioned with care. It was a real pleasure spending time together.

If you love nature it's the perfect place, I was there from 8-20 januari 2026, friendly neigburs and calm area long way from city, got lift many times with mom to buy food, also joined karaoke, the ducks was funny, and every time I was out walking I had 1-4 dogs following and protect me,

Phil and Kristina were wonderful hosts. They were the ones who welcomed us into Australia as we had contacted them very spontaneously! Not only did Phil get up in the middle of the night to get us from the airport, they both made us feel very welcome and at home from the first moment. Their house and garden is incredibly beautiful and the area has a green and relaxed vibe. We really enjoyed doing small tasks in the garden, having a great time by the pool of course, and being shown around the area by Phil who dropped us off at the station to go into the city and even did a one-day roadtrip with us! We think all Workawayers should really take the time and join these two amazing people who have so many interesting stories to tell if you have the chance! Our one week there felt way too short and we would've loved to stay longer. Hope to see you again one day!

Incredible experience and school! The land is so precious and all the teachers and children are filled with love and kindness. I spent 1 month in April, and loved it so much I returned for another month in November. I plan to continue to return in the coming years. I was able to share classes of yoga, concious cookng, English and more, and also learn so much. Highly recommended for anyone looking to be of benefit to children and experience rural Colombia. Grateful for this piece of heaven in my life.

Amazing Place in Cali! It was such a great experience and super clean and well-organized. Highly recommended for anyone in Cali looking for Workaway experience in a hostel and salsa school! Thanks!

Hosting Ayumi was a wonderful experience. She is incredibly kind, sweet, and was a huge help to our family during her stay. She played with our children constantly, and they became very attached to her and miss her already. She is truly one of the best people we have ever hosted. We highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Ayumi

Erin was a great workawayer! Super helpful in a variety of tasks! Able to work independently with a high standard. Excellent communication, friendly and versatile. She left the accommodation in a clean and tidy state. Highly recommend to others. Its been a real blessing to have someone with a good work ethic help me catch up on the long list of tasks I have gotten behind on at our farm. Thank you!
