Dean stayed with us during the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis in April 2020. His stay with us was unique as he accomplished all his work while in quarantine. During his stay, he renovated a bathroom (tiling the floor) and build a new laundry room (new frame, drywall, floors, piping etc). We were satisfied with the end result. It is obvious that… read more

Mihkel is a nice host and he takes care of his guests. I was workawayer for Mihkel from 8th April till 22nd April. He listened my ideas carefully and he gave great attention. He also gave a decent effort to advice me and enrich me with new ideas. I think he is kind of "workaholic"like me. But for sure he enjoys improving his projects and be… read more

Alain is giving a Great effort to make the "Resort Decelles" profitable. His vission is to set that Resort for travelers and give them the chance to enjoy the "Lac Saint Marie" on the summer and the snow ski mountain "Saint Marie", in the winter.

Kostas was a delight to have here in Prague. He gave so much of himself - both his wonderful tradesman skills and also his great enthusiastic personality and knowledge. I was able to point out what needed doing on the project and he'd just do it! He was great at suggesting ideas and sourcing things from the hardware store. I loved our little… read more

It's so nice, 100 years old and indeed this house needs some serious reconstruction and Tanya has already done a lot for that. But it still needs enough work to accomplish it. Also Tanya is a magnificent host and she does the best to make… read more

Kostas stayed at the station for a week. When given any construction task, I believe he could do it. Kasta put in a shower in a tricky place. He knew what tools, parts and materials were needed. He organized the whole tool room. Kostas arrived at a needed time, and really helped. Kostas works best alone, with a job he fully understands. It was a… read more

I was her first workaway guest and I think she did it very well as a first workaway host. And for me was also a worthful experience to live with Elvira at her home for 17 days.
The work I did mostly had to do with painting. So I painted my room, the main corridor and… read more

Kostas likes to get up early in the morning and to have a lot of work. He is a hard worker and it seems he prefers to work alone. He stacked a lot of wood like nothing, then he is strong. He plastered perfectly walls and he also made nice electricity installations. It's good to discuss how it should look at the end, so then it will be perfect. It… read more
