My experience at the hostel was really good, I met a lot of people from the staff and volunteer team. A lot of events were organized, so many occasions to socialize. Work was easy, I would definitely recommend it 👍

I really enjoyed my time in Kyoto staying at the hostel. Apart from work it's a great Hostel with lots of places for social interaction and finding new people to travel with. The bunks are super cozy and spacey, you have your privacy and even place to put your belongings. As for work it's really easy and not much. We worked in groups of two or three and were usually finished before time was up and we're free to go. We got lots of free days and once a week there was a party and/or bar hopping with all the employees and volunteers. I really enjoyed the stay and hope to be back 😊🥹

I had an amazing time volunteering at santigago guesthouse. The work never took more than 2 hours to complete and the rest of the day was yours. The full time staff are very friendly, and once there was a few more volunteers, it was very social. It is in a great location. 20 mins from the bars and main shopping street and 8 min walk from the river. A few supermarkets and coffee shops nearby so you didn't have to always eat out (and the cafe gives you coffee too). The bed was so comfortable and being in a capsule gave you your own space. I would definetly go back and volunteer again.

Honestly the best I could ask for to end my trip to Japan.. The permanent staff is so warm and friendly! I felt like we were good friends right after meeting them. As for the hostel it is in the best possible spot in Kyōto to explore the city. You are 15 minutes away waking from Gion, Kiyomizudera, the Kamo river and so much more!! To add the cherry on the top, the hostel is on the most famous pottery/ceramic street in the city. So atmospheric.. Finally you do share the room with the guests but the capsules are so cozy and comfortable that you don't even notice them half of the time. 10/10!!!

I had an amazing time with the team at the hostel. It felt like home. They were very kind, easy to communicate with and very accomodating. I recommend to any other volunteers. I have left Santigao with new friends including the staff and I will be returning for a coffee when I come back through Kyoto.

It was such a great environment to work with others. I got lucky to stay new place my own. (Timing was good). They provide supplements with good qualities. The work hours is punctuality and reasonable work amount. I can be more hygienic and how to complete my duties in general. It's good to practice my Japanese language as well. Beautiful and nice cafe and shops around. It's really good spot to enjoy at the same time. Strongly recommend! :)

It was my 2nd time volunteering in hostel as a cleaner/helper and I am very glad I chose the hostel in Kyoto. I was warmly welcomed by the staff and had very good moments with them (izakaya, pizza party, free drinks after work) ! They were also always ready to help if I had any questions about anything. The work was simple and not too physical and sometime we would finish early. I was lucky to stay in the female dormitory in the biggest capsule I've ever had in an hostel so I felt very comfortable and the location of the hostel was perfect ! Thanksfor such a great time ! じゃあね✋
