Cleaning, housekeeping and reception in Kyoto, Japan

España

5

Recomiendo esta experiencia al 100%. Essam, el dueño, es super atento y siempre está dispuesto a ayudarte para que disfrutes Kyoto al máximo, dándote consejos y apoyándote en todo momento. Naoko, que es quien te enseña, es encantadora, muy dulce y hace que todo sea mucho más fácil y ameno. Junto con los demás voluntarios, al final hemos formado como una gran familia; cada día había risas, apoyo, diversión y momentos inolvidables que siempre recordaré. Todos ellos los llevo en el corazón. La ubicación es excelente, cerca de la estación de tren, rodeada de restaurantes y un parque muy animado.

The experience at the guest house Kioto Inn was nice! Essam is a really good and welcoming host and Naoko-san is super kind and will teach you everything. About the working hours and days off, it's exactly as what is mentioned in the post, you have to volunteer 4 full hours and you have 2 days off per week. I would recommend doing a volunteering here, the hostel is an convenient location and the staff make you feel comfortable all the time, it's like a big family.

This was one of the best worldpackers experiences! I truly loved it. The owner is amazing, other staff as well. You can practise Japanese but everyone speaks English here too. I like the location, the work is easy and the hours are respected. I definitely recommend and I would come back myself.

Had a lovely stay at GHKI. The staff was so friendly and funny, I really enjoyed talking and working with them. I did both cleaning and reception hours, so got to see different aspects of the job, which I really enjoyed. The Guesthouse is basically 20min away from main attractions/areas by electric bike ⚡and the city has plenty of biking roads. I mainly used this means of transport which I loved 😍. Thanks a lot to Essam, Mika and Naoko for making my stay a comfortable one. Hope to come back and say hello one day! Gracias 😊 またね!

When I set foot in the hostel the first time I didn't know what to expect. A building hidden in a in a lesser known corner of the city, perhaps I was afraid. But from the first day the staff turned out to be exceptional not only from a professional point of view but above all from a human point of view. From the first day they helped me to integrate and did everything possible to match my hours with those of the school I attend. I found some very open people mentally with whom it was a pleasure to collaborate. All working conditions established before arriving have been met. ESSAM IS AMAZING!

I spent two months at GHKI and I had a really good time. Essam, Naoko and the whole team are exceptional, welcoming and always supportive. I feel really lucky with the others co-volunteers. Good moments, made plans together and they made this experience so special. The work itself is normal hostel tasks with different shifts. The hostel is located in a quiet area near a beautiful park (Umekōji Park) and train station. I'm definitely going to miss it!! Thank you 🙏🏽

Wow, this one was hard to leave. I can advise you to go here. Essam and his team will welcome you with their warmth and generosity. The work is normal hostel work, and it is a great base to explore Kyoto and its surrounds. I was lucky to be with amazing co-volunteers which made a big difference. I will miss the laughter, shared meals, jokes and community feel of this place. Just be aware that you will be sharing a dorm with the guests, not the other volunteers. I felt that my work was appreciated here, which made it a positive experience. Until next time! Mata ne!

Great opportunity to meet people and explore Kyoto! Essam is a very friendly host, along with Naoko-san and Mika-san. And my fellow volunteers are awesome! :) The inn is in a very convenient location next to a train station. My one issue is that if you are staying for a month, you can't do reception, only housekeeping. This is fine of course, but it may be better in future to communicate this on the worldpackers profile. Other than this, I recommend if you're looking for a solid worldpackers experience in Kyoto!

Fantastic way to stay for a while in Kyoto and explore it as a resident and see all the sights. Recommend cherry blossom season. Work was easy and hours not too long - 4 hours for cleaning morning shift, 6 hours if you do the night shift, 8 days off a month but more if you do night shift. Nice beds and lots of space for luggage, many areas to chill out, well-equipped kitchen and fridge. Convenient place, 20 mins walk from station and easy to get bus and train and really nice park next door. Staff are lovely - shout out to Essam for all the jokes and good fun and Naoka and Mika for the recipes!
