Bon, ouais ok on a un peu traîné pour écrire l'avis. Mais on savait pas trop quoi dire pour décrire Oriane. C'est un mélange entre une tornade et une tempête. Oriane a toujours la pêche, même les temps calmes sont des déchainements de marrades et de discussions endiablées.

Thousand thanks to Emma and Ben for their warm, sweet and tolerant hospitality during this one week (tolerant for my fuzzy und "tipsy-topsy-mind" moments).

My stay at the Hostel was short but wonderful. I had to leave after four days working for personal resons.

This place breathes peace, the decoration and all details are well thought, and you can take ten minuts to just watch one room how cute it is. The customers are relaxed and the staff is nice.

You just need to keep in mind that only the bed… read more

Such a charming young spirit! Oriane has so much energy as all the birds around together. She brought very positive energy at the very first day, with her nothing is boring- she will make you laugh about anything. And she never gets tired. She was the most enthusiastic person about the most dirtiest job we have around here- polishing the walls.… read more

Oriane had been looking for a host for a long time so when I couldn´t host her I felt sorry for her and arranged it so that she could stay with my parents-in-law instead. I tried to be very clear with things such as what being a part of the family means to us but still she obviously had very different expectations.

Prior to her arrival I got the… read more feeling as we exchanged e-mails that this would not be a good fit and offered her a way out of this, as I could read between the lines that she basically desperately needed a place to stay but very much wanted to do her own thing rather than joining the farm life. I should have trusted my instinct but her persistence in wanting to stay despite my warnings made me ignore them.

With regards to the expectations of volunteers and the possibility of using our cars etc, I believe I was very clear and am sorry that there was miscommunication here. To be precise, I informed Oriane three months before her arrival that "There is no public transport from our farms to Akureyri. But we always figure something out to get volunteers there when they need to go there. But off course we cannot drive you there everyday so if you are not interested in spending much time on the farm in general then you should rather try to find hosts in Akureyri or at least closer to Akureyri. But of course if there is anything special that you want to attend to on the weekends then we will make sure you can do that. It is even possible to lend a car, but only if the roads are clear (no snow or ice). The basic is that we are flexible and we need others to be flexible as well - because we treat everyone in our homes as family - not as employees :)"

It was obvious the first days after her arrival that this would not work out, for example when she left the barn half through her first milking session to take a shower... Even after telling me specifically the day before that she absolutely wanted to work just as much as anyone else in the family.

I am truly sorry that this didn´t work out but I guess it´s hard to find a perfect match every single time. She found another host in Akureyri after some days anyway and we brought her there safely.

So as a message to other volunteers out there, don´t force yourself into a situation that obviously does not suit you, just because you booked your ticked and desperately need a place to stay. I think that is no less abusive (regarding the hospitality of the host inviting you into their home) than asking people to spend more time working than they care to do. Lets just all be honest with each other from the start and make the most of workaway :)

We wish you all the best Oriane, you are indeed a good person with a big social conscience.

This feedback is not about Anna's place but a farm really near from her place. She could propose you to work in this farm if Anna already found a baby-sitter :) I arrived in her parents-in-law's farm, also the farm where her husband, Simmi, works. It's a farm with cows and sheeps. During my stay, Anna was smiling and helpful but I can't leave a… read more

Steinunn and Sigurdur are so nice and you will enjoy your stay in Iceland with them, for sure! Reykjavik is so beautiful and there's so much to visit.

In the house, you have your own cosy bedroom and bathroom, and even "private" kitchen if you want. But you don't really need: Steinunn doesn't cook as a chef, actually, she IS a chef. You'll never… read more
