It was a good experience, the staff members are nice and friendly. They're also very welcoming of newcomers and often we went out to eat or grab a drink. The work is basic and simple which leaves you plenty of time to go around. Plus the hostel is in a great location to visit Kyoto. Just know that you will be sleeping with everyone and it can get noisy.

The hostel is very well placed and gets you to connect and help a lot of travelers staying for months to a few days. The work is much less than I expected and the staff is welcoming and fun to work with.

The hostel experience was amazing. The guesthouse is located very close to many great spots. The futons are a bit too worn out but that might have been just me. Staff is very pleasant and most speak either fluent or passable English, so communication was very easy. A lot of socializing goes on in the common rooms with other visitors. The work is very comfy and fairly simple. I had a blast and almost wish I could stay longer, definitely will try to return.

Place is not cozy at all. Even guest are not having fun. Most of the staff are not welcoming, some of them never even said hi. Area where is located the hostel is noisy and too crowded. Always hard to leave a Bad review but i really do not recommend. We sleep amongst a 14 beds dormitry. No intimacy really. Also it's very very dirty. Did not have fun.

I was the only volunteer, but the other workers were very welcoming and friendly. The work is simple and easy -a lot of freetime to explore! The house itself is definetly a little dirty and you can see mold on the walls. I also heard about the bed bug problem, but it was all fixed when I stayed. Another thing: you have no privacy! You will sleep in a room with 11 guests (capsule) and everything is shared! There is no private or quiet room to have a phonecall with your family. pro: easy work/ lot of freetime/ good location/ nice workers con: dirty/no privacy/lack of sleep

This hostel was disappointing. The state of the hostel itself was poor with noticeable signs of neglect. There was visible black mould on the walls and inside fridges, and dust accumulation. Though the rooms were better, our relief didn't last. After a week, a bed bug infestation was discovered. Despite our efforts to eliminate bugs and spray the beds, it required professional help. Staff response was problematic; some were reluctant to acknowledge the issue and nothing was done. Wira, our kind host was hindered by staff shortages. Some days, only one person cleaned with little to no support.

I endured 5 out of 6 weeks. No management, poor communication. Had me work over the agreed hours. Said I would have to work on both my days off for 12 days in a row. Rooms filled with black mold. The bed bugs. So many bites. When I suggested bed bugs they said that they were on 4th floor not 3rd so I was ok, they knew they had them. I found them in my bed. Showed them footage - twice. Some staff still didn't believe me. Gaslighting me. I gave them a bug, they said "what do U want me to do about it" and made me sleep in same bed. Strangers were asking if I had a skin condition it was that bad

The hostel was very welcoming. The location is very near to all tourist spots and easily accessed by transit. I met many locals and Japanese tourists during the busy time of Sakura season and Golden week and can say i have made many life long friends during my stay. The tasks were simple and when we worked as a team we finished with plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the day
