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.

My experience at the guest house was great! Hugh and Lia were amazing hosts—kind, attentive, and always ensuring we felt comfortable. The work was simple, mainly cleaning rooms and bathrooms, with a fair schedule. However, there wasn't much interaction with other volunteers, so it felt a bit lonely at times. One key detail: at the end of each shift, hosts required videos of the cleaned rooms, as they are quite strict about cleanliness. On the plus side, I had unlimited ramen and bread! Overall, I highly recommend this opportunity—the hosts were wonderful, and the work was straightforward.
