I had such a great time in Dublin, Sharon was always present and made me feel secure, everything was as agreed ❤️ My experience in Pia house was amazing, Roy helped since the beginning, he is very friendly and made me feel at home, whenever I needed him he was there. The activities were very ok, you won't work too much and still have much time to enjoy the city. I totally recommend this experience ❤️

It is a great way to explore Dublin and also the rest of Ireland! The location is great, close to the centre and everything else. The work is not hard at all and the hours are light (in my experience it was even less than the agreed 20 hours a week). Sharon was lovely, accommodating and very open to feedback.

I had such a good time. I really enjoyed this experience. I felt comfortable from the first moment I went there. You would have lot of time to visit the city. People that allowed me to do this experience made me feel comfortable and I had a lot of information before coming here. They are so professional. Thank you so much to Sharon and Roy.😃

I had a great time in Dublin. You can walk to the centre in 30 minutes. Buses are nearby. You can visit the surrounding area easily, especially the beaches. Supermarkets are very close to the accommodation. The tasks to be carried out correspond to the advertisement. I recommend this offer if you want to visit Dublin.

I had the pleasure of being their first worldpackers volunteer to stay there so flexibility and being adaptable was definitely a necessity. it was the slow season while i was there so there wasn't many guests to check in however, there was recent renovations done so there was some cleanup work that i did to freshen the place up. because things weren't as they will be/usually are in the summer, hours weren't consistent, but i made sure to get whatever was asked of me done in a timely matter. hosts were very kind! took me to local pubs and recommended what to do :)
