I loved my time at the hostel. I got to meet so many new people and our Khmer colleagues were so amazing! 10/10 recommend honestly except for the fact that there is na/C in the staff dorm.

**I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your time at Yellow Sun!** Meeting new people and having amazing Khmer colleagues certainly makes for a memorable experience. 😊 However, I understand that the lack of A/C in the staff dorm might be a downside. Overall, it sounds like a positive recommendation! 🌞👍

Volunteering at the hostel was an amazing experience, a time I will never forget, memories and friendships made that'll have a place in my heart forever ;) the place itself is beautiful, located right on the river so you can enjoy an afternoon swim and a beer for a wonderful sunset! The staff is lovely and very helpful. The job itself was fun and easy to do! The hours were quite a lot but since it was so much fun and working also meant connecting with other travellers and volunteers you won't mind. I would definitely recommend! Thanks guys for making this stay memorable <3

I truly enjoyed my time in the hostel! The location is absolutely beautiful and the general atmosphere in the hostel is very laid-back and relaxed. The job itself is very easy and enjoyable in my opinion and I quite enjoyed my shifts. Only minus for me was that they advertise live music/karaoke to be held few times a week but there was no karaoke event when I was staying there and live music only once. And, I definitely recommend going if you want to hang around animals! Those dogs, puppies, cats and kittens made the place feel like home :) I am very grateful, thank you!

Shout out to Dayron, Posh warrior princess, Celine, jazzy fizzle, Bee, Chloe, Caroline, Katrina, Tak, Pros, and of course Johnny. It was an absolute pleasure working here. I highly recommend it, the people and environment are so chill. I will miss all the sunsets and night parties. The place has a great view of the river and it's always so relaxing. This was my second volunteer experience and I am 2/2 on great experiences so far. This place has left a everlasting impression on me. I believe that the hostel will continue to flourishing it continues on its trajectory. Thank you!

This is the best place to start your volunteering journey! I had the best time. It really is like a family here. The work hours are respected and lenient if needs be. I had to cut my time short due to being in the hospital but even though I couldn't work they still sent me food to the hospital and welcomed me back when I returned! Honestly couldn't recommend this place more.

Volunteering at the hostel was an amazing experience. The hostel's bar and the common area were such nice places to spend time in. The work was easy and I enjoyed it. The only disadvantage was that there wasn't really any training. The host didn't explain to us for example how the check in system worked or how to rent motorbikes ect. Also there is 36 hours of work in total (6 days a week 6 hours a day), not 32. This is not a minus, working there was really fun but the information on worldpackers is different. The volunteers are like a family and the atmosphere is super! I would recommend!
