Such an amazing experience, Hugh is really kind and the work is quite easy, you have a lot of free time so you can explore the city. I loved the guesthouse and their people, every one was so nice that it felt like a second home. I recommend this place 1000%

This experience was amazing! The guesthouse is only 30 minutes from the center of Seoul by subway (the station was just a 7-min walk). The tasks were easy. I only did the cleaning shift, which was from 11 AM to 3 or 4 PM. After finishing the cleaning, we had to stay at the reception. We also had three consecutive days off, which gave us time to explore. I shared the room with three other girls. It was very large and comfortable, we had a lot of space for our belongings. Hugh was really an amazing host, kind, attentive and always making sure we had everything we needed. I recommend it!

I've had some really great days at this guesthouse. The work is easy and not too heavy (unless you get guests who leave the room looking like a pigsty, of course ahah), and three days off a week is more than enough. Hugh is such a lovely person and makes everything easier for you. All the coworkers I've had have been amazing — we really bonded with each other. I really hope I can come back, because I've loved the experience.
