Staying with the host was unforgettable. Phuong was incredibly accommodating—taking us out for breakfast, helping set up Vietnamese SIM cards, getting us comfortable on scooters, and always making sure we had everything we needed. Truly, if you need anything, just ask. His wife was equally kind, regardless of the language barrier. She always left fruit trays or candy out. Both of them and the assortment of people we met in this house will always hold a place in our hearts. Their warmth and generosity made us feel completely at home, and we left feeling like part of their family!

Volunteering as an English teacher at the host has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Working with kids of all ages is truly magical. You'll be provided with a scooter to drive yourself to the different centers where you'll be teaching. Phuong and Joe are incredibly kind and accommodating, always ensuring that we were well taken care of. They recommended some fantastic traditional restaurants and they organized several team outings, which were a great way to bond. If you're looking to make a real impact while experiencing the many beauties of Vietnam, I highly recommend this place

One of the best volunteering I have ever done. Phuong and Joe will do everything to make you feel part of the family from day one. Phuong is very accommodating and makes sure you have the chance to get to know Vietnamese culture and cuisine. The working hours are very manageable, even if you need to consider the time to get to the different centres on top of the working hours scheduled. You most likely going to get a room for yourself and always two meals daily. The kids were amazing and the group of teachers too. I highly recommend the experience :)

I had a fantastic experience! The hosts are incredibly welcoming and do everything they can to make sure you're comfortable. The hours are quite intense and you'll be working a decent amount but its incredibly rewarding. The lessons you teach are simple and you need to think up some games. The hosts are incredibly flexible and you can just ask for a day off if you need more free time. They were so accommodating to me! You get lunch and dinner so you're fed and you'll most likely get a room to yourself! The local area is great to explore and has everything you could need. This place is great!

The most challenging part of this experience for me was to drive long distances in the crazy traffic around Hanoi in order to reach different English Centers. I wasn't ready for that and even today after 1 month, I still feel scared driving with a scooter. However, the most rewarding feeling I got from all this was the opportunity to visit remote areas and teach to some of the most beautiful, cheerful and heartwarming kids you'll ever meet in life. Always happy and eager to learn. Joe and Phuang are amazing hosts. always making sure I could feel welcomed and comfortable in all situations. 🪷🙏

So much fun, was definitely intimidating at first but easy to get the hang of. Phuong was super understanding and accommodating for any needs we had, and let us have time off whenever we wanted. Definitely recommend

My experience at the host was absolutely incredible! Phuong and Zé are fantastic hosts, always ready to help with anything you need. This was a completely new experience for me—my first time traveling with Worldpackers and my first time teaching kids—and it was truly unforgettable. The only thing to note is that the workload is usually more than the advertised 10 hours, often reaching up to 25 hours per week. If you're working remotely, I suggest discussing your availability with them in advance—they are very understanding and will do their best to accommodate your schedule. loved it!

Hi Joice! Thank you so much for the kind words! Just want to make something clear for future readers of your review, you typed 25 instead of 15:) So yes, on average is about 15 hours a week, but this can vary depending on the number of volunteers, and full time teachers available. Some weeks the volunteers can only work 10 hours and have 3 or more days off. Some weeks, we might need some extra help and it can be around 18h per week, however, when this happens, the following week we compensate it
