Yellow Sun Hostel

Kampot is steeped in colonial history, which makes it both beautiful and interesting. Local people are a mixture of Cambodian and ex pats, both of which you can find frequenting the many bars and coffee shops in the local town. At the hostel we employ both western and local staff; currently 9 Khmer staff who hold positions in all aspects of the business, from cooking and housekeeping, to maintenance and bar tending. We are only too happy to help with improving your local language skills.

We are looking for volunteers who can help out with the general running of a backpackers hostel. Reception Helping out restaurant , liaising with guests and any Ad Hoc duties that occur. We are looking for friendly, sociable people with a good level of English. No previous experience is necessary. You will work 6 hour shifts, 6 days a week, working with the local staff and other volunteers. You will either be working morning shift (8am-2pm): serving breakfast orders, checking people in, renting kayaks and just being a smiley face to make guests feel welcome! The middle shift (12pm-6pm): This shift consists of chatting with customers, giving advice on activities and serving drinks and food. Or evening shifts (5pm-11pm): the reception turns in to a busy bar at night! You will help with food orders and serve drinks, chatting to all the interesting people that pass through our doors.

The volunteer role was loosely defined, and feedback was not clearly communicated. Based on the role description, I consistently completed assigned tasks, took initiative where needed, and actively engaged and socialized with guests as expected. Despite this, I was told I “moved too slow,” without prior warning, performance discussion, or opportunity to course-correct. Performance decisions felt subjective rather than tied to clearly defined outcomes.
I also observed social and cultural dynamics that may affect how comfortable different volunteers feel in this environment.

Tout simplement parfait, surtout pour une première expérience ! Dès le premier jour j'ai été bien accueillie, les taches sont bien expliquées et simples, et aucun problème s'il faut un temps d'adaptation, il y a toujours quelqu'un pour vous aider :) Les shifts (matin, midi ou soir) sont vraiment tranquilles, ce qui permet d'avoir encore de l'énergie pour visiter les alentours dans la journée.
Encore merci à tout monde pour cette super expérience que je ne peux que recommander :)

Este fue sin duda una de las mejores experiencias que tuve como voluntaria, las tareas son super fáciles, el equipo de trabajo es increible, siempre alegres y haciéndote reir.
Las comidas son exquisitas y la habitación muy comoda.
La gente es super calida y hay muchísimas actividades por hacer en Kampot, por lo que sin duda recomiendo estar mas de dos semanas.

Gracias Yellow Sun por esta oportunidad!

Volunteering here was such a wonderful experience. It’s the perfect place to stay for a while if you want a chill, fun atmosphere and the view of the river never gets old. It’s a bit outside Kampot, so it’s peaceful, but still easy to get to with a tuk tuk or a bike. The work itself is simple and enjoyable (mostly helping at the bar, with check-ins and bike rental), but what really made my time special were the people — everyone is super friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The accommodation is very basic, but the time I spent here was totally worth it.
