About the experience in: Kampot, Cambodia
Poland
It was absolutely fantastic! The facility is great and the perks are amazing, I throughly enjoyed my time there. I was here during low season so I didn’t have much to do, but the staff was super lovely and we just chilled around the place waiting for something to do. They let you use their bicycles and getting to the city is like 10 minutes, grab is also cheap. Overall, I had really lovely experience and would definitely recommend to volunteer here if you have the opportunity.

I had a great time at Yellow Star! The hostel is very chill and the work is absolutely manageable. I worked the night shift which was checking people in, taking food orders, and sometimes making drinks. The staff are super easygoing! It’s about a 40 min walk/10 min tuk tuk into town, but I spent more time than I thought I would at the hostel because the food was delicious and the pool is awesome. Super easy to meet other travelers while working.

One of the best volunteering experiences I could have asked for. From the beginning you’ll feel welcomed by everyone. Most of the staff doesn’t speak English very well, but it wasn’t a problem at all. They help you out with any tasks, so you are able to learn quickly, how to be great addition to the team. I was able to meet a lot of fellow travelers and listen to their stories as well. My responsibilities included working at the reception, greet people, help with food orders and work at the bar. The hours were agreed upon arrival and always respected. Thank you and hope to see you again!

Me and my friend volunteered at Yellow Star for over two weeks and it was the highlight of our trip to Cambodia. This was our first volunteering experience and we could not have asked for any better! The Yellow Star team and the owner, Johny, were very welcoming and ready to accommodate our requests at any time. Our job was very easy and we had plenty of time to explore Kampot and chill by the hostel’s pool. Special mention goes to cooks who made us delicious Khmer meals everyday and to the adorable pets who kept us company during our shifts :)
Thank you everyone for this amazing experience!
