Just conversation in English with koreans

I want to start by saying that it was such a cool experience! I got to talk to so many locals and although it was already my second time in Korea I learned a lot more about the culture just by discussing it with the guests of the hostel. The work is genuinely interesting, however, be prepared that it can be a little mentally draining if you have a lot of lessons everyday. The host and other volunteers were all very friendly and I met people who truly became my friends:) All in all, I highly recommend visiting, you will definitely not regret it!

It was my first volunteering and it was amazing! I loved working at the café and also the connection made with the students, I left with some friends! Also, my coworkers/ roomies were amazing and it felt like a family :) Oscar is a good person and a good boss, I had to leave earlier and he was comprehensible about it. Also, the quality of the Language studio is so good he did a good job. However, the distance between the hostel and Seoul is not something to be underestimated.

I had a wonderful time here and absolutely loved the hostel work. It is very generous for only needing to have friendly conversations for up to 4 hours per day as work. You should be aware, however, that although it mentions 3 meals per day, this just means that eggs, bread, and Ramen are provided at the apartment, so you should definitely expect this to be more like one or maybe 2 meals per day, but you'll definitely need to eat out at least once per day.

My time the hostel has been amazing! The people I lived with made this experience the best. The coliving is a nice apartment that even with 6 people doesn't feel small. Working hours are usually from 5 until 22. But it doesn't really feel like work, it's just great fun! You don't get 3 full meals. But all the basics are provided: bread, eggs, ramen, oil, washing detergent… if you want fruit, veggies and meat you have to do some shopping or go out to eat. It's only 54 minutes to the Partyhub of hongdae, so going out is easy! 100% would recommend!

This the hostel is an excellent way to see Seoul and speak with locals. As other reviews point out it is about an hour to the centre and the food provided is just basic ramen and a few other essentials. the hostel itself is a nice place to live as there are enough restaurants and things to do there. The work is easy and hours sometimes end up being less than 4 hours a day so I would recommend this to anyone who wants to explore Seoul.

The work was mostly fun and super easy, most days we only had 2-3 hours of work. It was nice meeting locals and getting recommended activities and restaurants! the host is a nice the host, but it truly does take about an hour and 20mins to get to the center of Seoul. The apartment is quite small for 7 people (1 slept on a mattress). A lot of the beds were somewhat broken and not very comfortable. Also the food provided isn't much so you'll probably end up spending quite a lot of money on it. Overall I woul still say it was a good experience and could recommend it (:

I had a really good time working at the studio! The best part was the people I got to meet during my two weeks there. Both the other volunteers and the students made my experience memorable, I met incredible people and had a lot of fun. Sharing the apartment with other 6 people can be challenging at times, but I got used to it and everything went smoothly. The working hours are reasonable and set daily, so you usually have to wait until the same day to know what your shifts are going to be. Thanks Oscar!

It was a good experience to meet locals, the job is really easy and the students are really kind, the town is quite small and going to Seul takes an hour so be mindful if you Want to go there often. Also the food available is eggs, rice, ramen and eggs Oscar is a good host

Oscar is a nice guy but it's the other volunteers that made this experience unforgettable to me. I had an amazing time with everyone and made memories I will cherish forever. The work and the accomodation are okay. It says three meals will be provided, but the only thing that is provided is Ramen, Eggs and bread. That's a little bit misleading in my opinion. The host is not involved except when it comes to work. The language studio is nice and the students are amazing and generally fun to talk to. In the 3 weeks I have stayed here I made genuine connections with the students and I am sad to go
