My stay in the guest house has been wonderful, Leon and Lilian are already my friends and I will miss them but as soon as I can, I'll come back. The place is exceptional, quiet full of nature and together with my colleagues we enjoyed the beach and excursions to nearby cities. And of course I recommend you to spend a season with Leon, Lilian, their kittens and dog if you want to know the most original Ireland.

The perfect place if you're looking for a mix of reconnecting with yourself and meeting people from all around the world. Leon and Gillian are incredibly warm and kind hearted people, always smiling and ready for interesting and pleasant conversations. They're also very trustworthy and adopt a wonderfully patient and pedagogical approach when it comes to the tasks to be done, something that really stands out compared to many hotels around the world that focus more on profit than people. I highly recommend this place which helped me improve my English and gave me a truly great experience !

I don't recommend it, issues of constraints between differences I didn't have luck this time in the guest house.

Unfortunately Jardel misrepresented himself, claiming Intermediate level English, while he cannot understand nor speak any English. But that was not the main issue; We could not get him to even make a bed without making mistakes. For example : He did not think a sheet was needed on a bed with a mattress protector. He paid little attention to cleaning and for example left a lufer and used soap in a bathroom and could not understand why that was a problem. So we had to ask him to leave.

Me and Luis stayed there for one month and we can say that it was an incledible experience in a gorgeous place, though one month is too much because after two weeks you have already explored everything. Despite all, the experience was more than positive. the guest house is a very good place to improve and get confidence in the language because you can meet a lot of people from all over the world. Gillian and Leon are super kind and the work isn't difficult: only 2/3/4 hours in the morning (with some fast task in the afteroon). We think that it is an experience that can improve your life.

My experience in the guest house was very good, the hotel is located in a beautiful place full of hikings and beaches to go, as a hiking lover, it was amazing to me. Work was simple but had a high volume since it was holiday season so the hotel was always busy. You'll have 1 day off and they'll take you to Donegal once a week to buy your weekly food. Leon and Gillian made me feel part of their family, I enjoyed a barbecue with their family. I had a great time there and would recommend the experience for people that like nature and want to spend some time in a remote and calm place

The guest house is situated in a gorgeous place, there are a lot of beautiful trails I really enjoyed because I love hiking. Gillian and Lion are very good persons. They easily made me feel like one more of their family. I especially liked hearing their laughters at the mornings while they were chatting with the guests. Another positive thing in the guest house is you will meet people around the world, for me it was so good, and I could improve my English conversations with different accents and I made friends from different countries. I spent a great time there, and I will miss some things, especially the hosts.

Truth be told, Leon & Gillian have a very strong limiting beliefs, I was also met with threatening behaviour from Leon, telling me I'd have my neck snapped, Even though I believe he misheard what I said, I have autism & differences are often judged by Leon & Gillian. The work consists of 4 hour days 6 days a week, although it stated you get 2 days off, which is a total fabrication of the truth, Yet if you speak up, it's your issue, even though they're the “professionals” They are controlling individuals & I do not write this out of spite, if rather someone doesn't face the same issues..

The guest house is quite lovely however the hosts are very opinionated and make situations very uncomfortable with both their temper over small issues and expressing conservative/ racist beliefs. The room is shared with Worldpackers, bathroom is communal: fine, but the lack of privacy can be irritating as the hosts barge in without knocking and often question about whereabouts on our free time. If you spend long durations in your room you're asked if you're depressed. Work is supposed to finish in the beginning of the day and is easy, however you may be asked to do tasks during free time.

Staying and working in Glencolumbkille was quite the learning experience. The landscape and locals were lovely. Though the BnB is quite remote, you'll surely enjoy the scenery on your walks or bus trips there. It is important to note that the hosts do have conservative opinions regarding race & religion, the LGBT community and others appearances/weight. their information guide does state that you will receive 2 days off, however it is only 1. the daily work can be completed in 3-4 hours. I'm thankful for this experience regardless.

The guest house was my first experience with worldpackers and I absolutely loved it there! I've been there for six weeks, but it felt like much less, because work didn't feel like work and, most importantly, because of Leon, Gillian and Minky of course! From the first second, they made you feel welcome. We shared a lot of laughs and spent beautiful evenings in the kitchen eating cake. I have so many things to say, but the review can't be longer than 600 characters. Nevermind, words can't express how grateful I am that they made my experience so enjoyable! Thanks Leon and Gillian! Wish you the best!
