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

Nice the hostel to stay at. Nicely situated and got on with the host rather well. Although apart from one karaoke night we didn't spend much time together i.e. shopping, collaborating, conversing.

En mi caso hice el voluntariado en guesthouse Sing que lo lleva el mismo equipo que the hostel y muy contento. Las instalaciones se ven nuevas y la cama muy cómoda. Las tareas sencillas y el equipo es muy amable. Totalmente recomendable

Es mi tercera experiencia en un el hostel Guesthouse y no decepciona! Trabajo fácil y un horario que te permite hacer todos los planes que quieras. La gente aquí es muy simpática y siempre abierta para echarte una mano, además la vida en una guesthouse siempre es divertida, conoces a gente de todas partes del mundo.
