Coming back to Gotaya felt like returning home. Once again, I had the chance to learn so much – about Korean culture, about people, and about myself. I’m leaving with countless warm memories and am so grateful for this experience.

The host is truly amazing and creates a space that’s both welcoming and full of life. Living together with guests in the dorm means you’re always surrounded by interesting people and spontaneous conversations. I can only recommend this place to anyone who’s curious and wants to dive deeper into Korean culture.

Huge thank you to Heeo and our volunteer team for such an incredible experience! Andong wouldn't have been the same without you all 🥹 The work is straightforward, with plenty of free time to explore the surrounding area. I joined just before the Annual Mask Festival (so fun) and Chuseok, so it was pretty busy. That said, everyone bands together and helps each other out which makes everything much easier! Heeo is really generous and an absolute wealth of knowledge on Andong and Korean culture, and the guesthouse has such a homey and comfortable vibe. So many good memories; 100% recommended!!!

The team is incredibly friendly we had an absolutely great time. Alba with a very nice woman who really showed us the ins and outs of the hostel and I have learned a lot of valuable experience from her instructions. Heeo is an incredibly friendly person and he is so humble and generous he is the owner of the hostel and he made us feel like family from the first day :).

Heeo is amazing and my experience here was great. The workload is quite light. Heeo is a great host and makes sure you are accounted for, he will take you around the city and show you a good time. Very kind, friendly, easy-going and welcoming person!

The work itself is easy, and Heeo is super friendly and nice - the best boss you could have! He brought us to several cool locations in the surrounding area (the great stone Budha at Andong Icheondong Seokbulsang, Wolyeonggyo Bridge, wearing traditional Hanbok), took us out to dinner to try local specialties, and bought us groceries. He really wants to make sure you have a great experience too, not just the guests. This is a great option for digital nomads looking for a quiet place to relax and get their own work done too.
