Ringo's Foyer Guesthouse

Ringo's Foyer – The Friendliest Guesthouse in Melaka

Welcome to Ringo’s Foyer—more than just a place to crash, it’s a space where travelers become friends. If you're looking for a relaxed, down-to-earth guesthouse right in the heart of Melaka, you’ve found it.

We’re just minutes away from Jonker Street, Chinatown, Little India, and all the sights that give this city its unique charm. Whether you’re into history, street food, art, or just wandering through markets, everything’s within walking distance.

The vibe here is super easy-going. There’s not a ton of work to do, which means you’ll have plenty of time to explore the city, connect with other travelers, or work on your own stuff. Ringo’s has a great sense of community—people hang out on the rooftop, swap stories, share meals, and often end up staying longer than they planned.

You’ll have access to free bicycles to get around, unlimited tea and coffee, and all the time and space you need to enjoy Melaka your way.

If you’re after good company, a chill atmosphere, and a taste of real travel life, we’d love to have you.

You’ll be treated like family here, not just a guest or worker. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming—no stress, no pressure. The work is simple and flexible, and we all look out for each other. It’s more about being part of the home than following a routine.

My time at Ringo's Foyer was disappointing to say the least ... i am sad to have to write this to be honest as this is my 4th worldpackers experience and every one up until now has been truly amazing where i made long lasting friendships with the staff and guests

The system here at Ringos is unique ... you will be trained by another volunteer who has been there maybe a couple of days making it an easy environment to make mistakes in

There is also a lack of leadership and connection with the staff here ... i met the owner and manager of the hostel probably 3-4 days into my stay there

Mi experiencia en Ringo's guesthouse ha sido estupenda. Las tareas son tal y como se detallan en la explicación y no se hace pesado. Son turnos de 4,5 horas y te dan flexibilidad en los turnos. Es una ciudad agradable y con encanto y con mucho turismo por lo que te da la oportunidad de conocer a otros viajeros internacionales. Howard y Mike son cercanos y están siempre disponibles para ayudarte. ¡Gracias por estos 15 días!

Ringo's is a very social hostel, really cook vibes here and melaka has more going on than you expect! A lot of good food and vibes here. I mostly worked reception shifts with leading activities here and there. Thanks to Howard and the volunteers for the experience and making my tine at Ringo's most enjoyable.

I stayed at this social hostel for 4 weeks and had an amazing time!
My main responsibilities were at reception—checking guests in, answering questions, and creating a welcoming vibe. I also got involved in organizing and joining social activities like salsa nights, a street art walking tour, cycle tours, and even gym and pool sessions. Thanks Howard!!
