Wow! What a brilliant time I had at the guest house. Great vibes - the best hostel in Malaka. Howard is a legend and I couldn't have asked for a better time.

Volunteering at the guest house was an incredible experience. From the very first moment, The atmosphere is very social and dynamic, perfect for travelers who love connecting with people from all over the world. My tasks as a volunteer were simple and well organized: encouraging guests to join activities (like bike tours, trivia nights, and dinners), occasionally helping at reception, and creating a positive vibe around the guesthouse. The team was always supportive and flexible when needed. I learned how to lead activities, work as part of a multicultural team.

My experience at the guest house was amazing and I'd definitely would recommend it to anyone. Howard is always super nice and fun to be around, even though sometimes his instructions are a bit enigmatic 😄 But everything works out at the end. The work was exactly what described and you can always rearrange it among volunteers the way you prefer. There's a high degree of freedom, autonomy and flexibility. The vibes at the hostel are really nice and I got to meet a lot of cool people, both volunteers and guests. Malacca doesn't have that much to offer but the guest house made it a great experience 😁

This was my second time volunteering here after 1 year. Same as last year I enjoyed working with other volunteers and met a lot of fellow travellers. The fun and social vibe at hostel remained the same, and this time I enjoyed Chinese New Year celebrations in Malacca as well!
