It was a pleasure! The work was as agreed, even though it was quite busy at the time. The communication is good, Mei is super organised and takes care of everything immediately. Living in the guesthouse has the usual advantages and disadvantages: you get easily in touch with other people, but of course you have little privacy. The team is very welcoming and makes living there easy :) Okinawa is fantastic and I also really liked Naha as a city. I would come back anytime! Thanks for everything :)

The team at the hostel are so incredibly welcoming, fun and supportive. The work is quick and easy, with everyone working together to finish everything then we would hang out and get lunch afterwards. There were regular lunches and dinners together with late night games and lot of shenanigans! Okinawa itself is beautiful too, with lot to go see and do and lots of good food to eat. I have to fully recommend going to the hostel, you will not regret it! :)

Thanks to the hosts who were very accommodating and kind!! The working hours are truly short (2-3 hours), but considering the cheap accommodation prices around that's fair for both sides I feel. I've enjoyed my stay, but would have loved to feel more positively motivated to take pride providing an even cleaner and organized space for the guests, as well as an updated cleaning protocol. Overall, I can highly recommend a stay. Okinawa is nice, and although Naha lacks a direct access to a good snorkeling spot, it's easily possible to make some trips around, especially the Kerama islands. Enjoy!

The work was quick and straightforward and the hostel is very social and I met great people here. They always gave 2 days off together so it was easy to visit other islands/other places on the main island. Naha itself is alright- good for food but not loads to do, it's a good base but the rest of okinawa is beautiful and i had plenty of time off to enjoy it.

Pretty good location near the main Naha bus terminal and not too far from the ferry port. Hours were no more than 3 per day and the work was very manageable. Rooms are neat and tidy so it was a good hostel experience. Recommended if your keen to explore nearby beaches but still want a hostel in a central area

The Guest House is a wonderful place with a mix of Japanese and international guests. Okinawa is the best place I've ever been to, I really fell in love! Work is super easy too so 10/10 recommend!

The hostel radiates a truly special, caring, and warm energy. As a solo traveler, it was comforting to experience a sense of family again after a while. :) Thank you for hosting me, Mei! Saludos, Vi

Great time at the hostel. You will meet lots of people and experience Okinawan culture in the heart of the city. Work is easy when there is enough volunteers and north part of Okinawa has the most incredible beaches and snorkelling. Would recommend

I stayed at the hostel for one month and was immediately welcomed, by both the staff and backpackers working there. It was an amazing time. Hours were perfect and the work was made easier by the team support. If I could've stayed longer I definitely would have!
