I stayed for 5 weeks in the hostel. It was my 1st volunteering and i can say that it was a very good experience. I totally recommend this hostel. Effie and her family are very friendly and welcoming. I felt like in home. The staff was also excellent. Everyday a lot of friends come to play on the pool table and they're all very nice too. About the tasks and shifts: Everything is exactly as described on the advice. I didn't had any experience on this kind of work before but Effie and the staff helped me to get started. The location is perfect to explore the city. Thank you all !

I Had a wonderful Experience here! I can testify that all the reviews you have read so far are absolutely true. work is simple just 4 Hr shift, mostly checking in or out of hostel guests, you could face some challenges with the language barrier but nothing that can't be handled. Effie is a Gem of a person, always really happy and cheerful and happy to help. The hostel is very nice and clean. it has this very unique style which I absolutely loved. This was my first volunteering experience and I couldn't recommend this place enough to everyone starting out as well. Go for it!!

Great experience, can't recommend it enough! The facilities are very nice and the location is great! In terms of the work it was 4 hours a day with one day off per week (they were very flexible with the time of your shifts and days off if you asked in advance). Communication was fairly good. Effie (the owner) is extremely friendly and welcoming and was constantly suggesting things to do in my time off and helping explain the best way to get there. The other staff were also super nice and fun to work with. While I was there there was typically one other volunteer staying at the hostel.

I volunteered at the hostel for one month and I had a great experience! Work is four hours a day, six days a week which gives you enough time to explore amazing Bangkok. The hostel is really cozy and the hosts and workers are really nice and welcoming and I had a really good time with them and the other volunteers. The hostel is just a five minute walk from the metro which is really nice and convenient and there is plenty of food around the hostel to enjoy. Also there is a nice park and free outdoor gym just a three minute walk away which is also really nice. Definitely recommend!

Amazing experience in Bangkok! Effie, her family and all the staff are super nice. We had great comunication, clear instructions on how to do the work and working hours were respected. They provide good breakfast for the volunteers. Besides, the Hostel is very good, they have confortable beds and great shared showers. I definitely recommend this position!

Thank you Effie for a great experience at the hostel. It was my first Worldpackers volunteering trip and I loved that! You work only 4 hours a day and still have a lot of time to explore Bangkok. You meet a lot of travelers from other countries, communicate and practice English. Work is not hard but requires responsibility. Effie was always nice to me, she can even bring you some snacks and take care of you! All the best wishes to the hostel “the hostel”, Effie and her family!!!

Effie and her family and staff were always kind and sweet to me! I felt like home. The experience was great and I could learn with the tasks. The job is easy to adapt and pretty chill sometimes. Little Allan (her sun) is a bonus, the sweetest kid ever. I will miss you guys! Thank you for everything ❤️

It's really good hours and really good location if you want to try local cuisines when your not working. I will say that the manager was rude to both the workers and to guests of the hostel which made the work environment kind of toxic. If I had any questions I felt more comfortable asking other volunteers as opposed to the permanent staff as they would roll eyes and were not patient. But other then that I would recommend this place to volunteers as the hours of work was worth the chance to experience Bangkok. Thank you for the opportunity.
