I had such a good time at the hostel. I met some friends for live there :) I liked the work I had to do it was easy and really fun. It is such a good place to relax and recover from all the travels. If i ever go back to Cambodia I want to defenetly visit the hostel again! It was also my first Volunteer experience and it was perfect for that.

I had the best time ever! Working alongside locals was the best way to immerse myself in Khmer culture. Rosa, ron cola and Kendall were amazing people to work with and made me feel welcome and part of a family ❤️ the food was great, the dogs were so cute and the guests were all like a family to us too, I recommend volunteering here, they truly take care of you. Swimming all day in the river and playing beer pong, whilst working behind the bar and doing check ins. Best life ever! Thanks again for such a great experience everyone 🩷🩷🩷🩷 love futooo

I really loved and enjoyed my time at the hostel and can only recommend it to anyone, looking for a chill, social but also local experience. You get to spend a lot of time in nature and with the animals !! Which wad really nice but if you don't like that, I wouldn't recommend it. In addition, the food is amazing and you get plenty of free time after or before working behind the bar/reception, which also doesn't include any too complex tasks & if you ever struggle everyone is happy to help. Big thank you to everyone for making my first volunteering so special !!

The hostel was my first experience with Worldpackers and it couldn't be more perfect💗 I felt welcomed since the first day I got here, I met some amazing people and I even found love💗 so it's a 5 star⭐️ experience for me. the hostel is about living in the present while you share experiences with both locals and foreigners and create memories together. The job was very chill and everyone is always happy to help and assist you with any doubt you have. Thanks to Day'Ron, Kendall, Tak, Rin Tuey, Pro, Elsa and Johnny for this 2 weeks 🫶🏼

The hostel is amazing, the vibe is perfect to enjoy the river and all Kampot has to offer. The staff is great and you'll get to be with locals and some foreign volunteers that really create a work family. I couldn't recommend this volunteer experience more and you won't want to leave

I have worked at couple hostels but the hostel was my favorite! All the people I worked with are all amazing they are organized but still with the relax beach vibe (river vibe) volunteers get to use kayaks when ever and the river is perfect for morning swims mid day swims and night swims! I pretty much lived and worked in my swim suit! Ohhh and the food! So so delicious! I am going to miss the other workers the most tho! Thank you day'Ron and Emilia for making my volunteering the best love you all!!!<333

It's fantastic that you found the people you worked with to be amazing and that they managed to strike the perfect balance between organization and a relaxed beach vibe.

We're delighted that our volunteers had the chance to enjoy kayaking and the river for refreshing swims at any time of the day. It sounds like you truly embraced the beach lifestyle by living and working in your swimsuit!

We're also touched that you enjoyed our delicious food and that Day’Ron and Emilia left a lasting positive impression on you. We'll make sure to pass on your kind words to them.

Volunteering at the hostel has been so much fun! Everyone is super friendly and welcoming. The work is straightforward and easy, mainly bartending, making coffee/smoothies, checking people in, and taking food orders. It's so easy to meet other travellers and make friends. Highly recommend this host. Shoutout to Day'Ron and Emilia for making this experience so good :)

I loved my time at the hostel! The best part was the people, travellers & locals, everyone here was amazing & I made some really good friends. This hostel is such a beautiful chilled place, right on the river with some of the best sunset views in Kampot. The work itself was super easy and laid back, pretty much just bar work, checking people in, general tidying of the social area & chatting to guests. the hostel is a simple, relaxed hostel, so the accommodation is super basic, don't expect A/C lol. Only negative is volunteers arrange their dorm themselves (could be more organised).
