Vom Host für Workawayer (Chris & Magali )

Chris and Magali were great to have here. Well , okay - I wondered a bit when they showed up with a Kayak on the roof of their car in winter....ummmm ….It is called 'Winterpeg'...etc.
I learned a lot from them about vegetarianism, veganism and of course - 'dumpster diving '- where they got the kayak. They were not here long - but they were great… read more

Vom Workawayer (Chris & Magali ) für Host

We stayed at Bills hostel and helped him. Even if we had time to stay just for some days, he welcomed us at his place. He is a really funny, smiling and generous person.
We really liked the time there and would have loved to have more time to stay.
We cleaned the main room and helped to settle the christmas decoration. It was fun to help with… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Laila)

Laila helped here In October and is highly recommended. The business is in transition and we haven't let in guests for quite a while - but there was/is plenty to do. Unfortunately, the City was hit by a freak snow storm and we were unable to work outside and owner was out of town a lot. (There was a lot of work to be done outside.) Laila did a lot… read more

The communication with Bill was great. He would always reply super fast. He was very welcoming, took me food shopping, recommended me stuff to do in the city, made sure I was comfortable and always offered a ride if I wanted or needed to go somewhere. I helped Bill tidying and cleaning the house. It's a big and beautiful place. In the evenings we… read more

Vom Workawayer (Colin) für Host

Go hostel! Stayed here for over a month with a friend of mine and we had a blast! The place was pretty much closed for winter, so we helped with the occasional guest and did some odd jobs here and there. The hostel is very nice and cozy, converted from an old Victorian style house and has much character. Being located very close to the city… read more

Vom Workawayer (Sanda & Fénix Negro) für Host

Many people do not know where is Winnipeg.And ever more,many people do not know that it exists.I used to be one of them… The most of the people that I I met , locate it i '' in the middle of nowhere '' from Canada. Also, to the description of the place,they added the words ''small '' and '' without much ''

This was my first travel to Canada(and… read more

Vom Workawayer (Hendrik Izaak) für Host

Stayed a few weeks here together with a friend and had a very good time! We've met some friendly and interesting individuals that we're staying and visiting in the hostel. Bill (the owner) is a cool and funny guy, we've shared a lot of laughs together. He gave us plenty of time to explore and experience the city (more than we've actually needed… read more

Henry and Eva were great to have help here. They were very reliable and hard working - so much so - I went out of town for a few days. Best of luck on the rest of your bicycle travels you two !!

Great place, great owner! We spent 10 days here. During that time met very interesting individuals - travelers and backpack'ers like us. Work is easy and simply. We didn't have experiences as guest house/motel/hotel staff before at all and it was no problem. Bill was helpful and explained everything we need to be explained. We had also much time… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Anne)

Anne helped here in the Fall of 2015. We’re now closed for the winter. I would highly recommend her for any future Workaway or other employment.
She acted as assistant manager at the Guest House in Winnipeg. She worked well with guests from all over the world. She helped maintain the facility – cleaning, general maintenance, reservations, getting… read more

Vom Host für Workawayer (Samuel)

Sam was great to have around this place. He was hard working, had good ideas, and quickly gelled with the international guests. He 'learned the ropes' quickly and as a result was given a lot of responsibility here. He would be great to have at any sort of business, dealing with the public - or otherwise. Thanks Sam.

I had an awesome time working with Bill at his hostel. I met some amazing people and shared some fun stories. I worked here for around two and a half weeks and enjoyed all of it! The private room I had was perfect and the location was great because of the proximity to the city ;)

Catch ya next time Bill!

Vom Host für Workawayer (Griet)

Griet was great to have here. She was quick to learn, hard working and easy to get along with. The four (or was it five languages) she knows came in handy as we host people from around the world. She got along well with both international guests and our local helpers. She is highly recommended.

The guesthouse is a good place to stay. I stayed for a couple of days in a shared room and had my own room afterwards. You clean, do laundry, make up beds, and do reception of guests. Bill is a really great guy. There is a good balance between working and free time so there is plenty of time to see the city and its surroundings. It is also an… read more

We stayed here from 07.10. till 06.11. and really enjoyed the experience. Bill was incredibly welcoming. He is such a relaxed and funny person. We came here on a very last minute search after leaving another place earlier than expected. We were given a weekly allowance for food and/or Bill took us food shopping. Work included emptying bins in… read more

Sina and Marco have helped around here for a month and they have been great. Marco is an electrician - and fixed up a few things. Sina learned the business quickly, took responsibility and took good care of the place. They are friendly and highly recommended !

Yikes - How do I sign in at this place ? (Sounds pretty good)
Kat and Ben were a great help - and even registered this place up on this site - which I knew little about. Ben was a magician rehanging a weird door in the basement and his laundry wall patching is top-hotch. Kat was a great hostess and even quite polite when the absentee owner - just… read more

We're writing this review on our last day of looking after the hostel and what a fun experience it has been. Bill is such a relaxed and funny character, he has been welcoming and generous since we arrived.

Although there were 3 other volunteers here when we arrived, we were left in charge of the hostel for about 3 days whilst Bill and two… read more

I volunteered here for only 3 days, but really enjoyed the experience. Bill was incredibly welcoming (I came here on a very last minute basis after leaving another placement earlier than expected) despite there being already enough volunteers.
