This was my first time traveling solo and I felt welcomed and at home immediately! The other volunteers were really nice so I never felt alone :) The tasked were easy and clearly communicated with good training and if something was uncertain we could always ask. Hugh is really kind and understanding. I also really liked the location because it is a less crowded area but with great connections to the whole city thanks to subway line 2. I really enjoyed my time and can't believe 2 months are already over

This was my first experience volunteering and I couldn't chose a better place! The work was easy and the working hours were always respected, and I loved that I had 4 free days in a row so you have pretty enough time to explore Seoul! Hugh and Lia were amazing hosts and always accommodating and flexible when we needed something! You always have bread, nutella and jam, rice and ramen available which is great. I also met some amazing volunteers from around the world and guests as well, I really enjoyed my time here, thank you the guest house for everything!

This was my first time doing a workstay and I really enjoyed my stay at the guest house. The owners is kind and flexible when needed. The work hours where good and did not take a lot of energy. After the work was done I had enough free time to explore Seoul and I made some great connections to come back🙌🏻. Big shoutout to the whole team of volunteers that stayed here you made this extra fun!

Volunteering at Seoul Guesthouse was a great experience that made me feel very comfortable, just like home. Lia and Hugh are very friendly, as well as the rest of the staff. It's an excellent place to enjoy both the work and the city, thanks to its great location.
