The volunteer role was loosely defined, and feedback was not clearly communicated. Based on the role description, I consistently completed assigned tasks, took initiative where needed, and actively engaged and socialized with guests as expected. Despite this, I was told I “moved too slow,” without prior warning, performance discussion, or opportunity to course-correct. Performance decisions felt subjective rather than tied to clearly defined outcomes. I also observed social and cultural dynamics that may affect how comfortable different volunteers feel in this environment.

Volunteering here was such a wonderful experience. It's the perfect place to stay for a while if you want a chill, fun atmosphere and the view of the river never gets old. It's a bit outside Kampot, so it's peaceful, but still easy to get to with a tuk tuk or a bike. The work itself is simple and enjoyable (mostly helping at the bar, with check-ins and bike rental), but what really made my time special were the people — everyone is super friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The accommodation is very basic, but the time I spent here was totally worth it.

This was my first time volunteering and i would recommend it to anyone !! Everyone at this hostel is super welcoming and so so kind. Special mention to Jamie and Tak who both worked here with me, they made my stay exceptional. Work hours are easy and even though it's a little far from town, it's very easy to get to with a bike or tuktuk

I've just left the hostel and absolutely loved my 2 weeks there. As it's rainy season there are no evening events and fewer travellers, so it's a great place to just chill in your free time. Bicycles and kayaks are free to use for volunteers. The team are great and will help you with whatever you need. I hope to go back sometime!

Even if at first you can feel a little overwhelmed, after few days it will pass and you will enjoy so much the time you have there ! The place is absolutely amazing and town is not really far if you want to explore more on your free hours :) Working hours are respected and they are very flexible if you have any issues with it ! I really recommend this place , you arrive as a simple volunteer and you leave as a family member, everyone is so nice and feel free to ask any questions they will answer and help you ! Thank you for this amazing experience I will miss you the hostel <3
