I expected to come out of this experience with a sense of empowerment and community. However, I don't think this host has the Worldpackers values at heart. They are in desperate need of any staff they can get, as their regular staff are continually leaving them. They need to work on communication, as I had absolutely no orientation of any kind, and relied on asking other volunteers/staff for advice, or just finding random tasks to do. The view is beautiful, but there's lots lacking. The room I was in was missing basic amenities even after someone fixed it. The guests' experience takes priority

Hello Kim, I gave you a good score, as you completed every task with politeness's and competence. I do think that you need a more open attitude with work colleagues, and if you are disappointed or disgruntled please mention before you leave. Once you have left nothing can be fixed or altered. Happy Travels

The place is charming, next to the loch, the hotel is beautiful, reminding me of a house I once lived in. I was moved to different rooms twice, which I saw as positive since I could enjoy new views, one of them with a spectacular loch view. The food is fine, not great. Shifts are calm, sometimes a bit disorganized, but manageable. I recommend the experience, though without expecting friendship with the bosses, as they just do their job. Ive Worked in gardening, housekeeping and hours are respected, which I value a lot. Thanks to Lizz and David, I wish you succes!

The hotel offered a great view with not much else. I would return back to the states before going back here. I felt exploited and underappreciated the entire stay which resulted in me leaving with no notice. Trust the Google reviews folks....

Hello Kyle,
I am sorry you felt underappreciated - you had use of a car, free lifts to Oban, Inveraray, Bust stop and train station. You used the water sports and all guests facilities free of charge. You were never asked to do any unpaid extra hours. Not only did you leave with no notice - you pre planed your departure during a working day to cause the most embarrassment to your colleagues. The day before your departure, you were discussing sponsorship, to stay at Portsonachan.
