I had a wonderful experience in the hostel with wonderful staffs! Work was manageable as it was described and staffs were nice and patient with volunteers. It's located in Tamsui where is about an hour away from the city and it was easy to accessible by mrt. Tamsui was a calm and beautiful place by the sea. Thank you so much for great time to Carrie, Peggy, Ashley, Yoon, and Tung! I would really like to go back. 🩷

Very nice team to work with. The hotel is very comfortable and clean. Tamsui is a really nice place to spend time. Just remember there is a lot of work to do especially during holidays, so keep in mind you will probably have to spend half of the day working.

I had a wonderful time at the hostel! The work was easy and usually only took about 2 to 3 hours a day. The staff were incredibly kind and always ready to help. Tamsui is such a beautiful area—right by the water, with plenty of stunning sunsets to enjoy. The train station is about a 15-minute walk away, and it's a quick ride into the hostel City Center. Huge thanks to Carrie, Ashley, Peggy, Yun, and Ping for being so welcoming and kind! I'd love to come back if I get the chance!

I had a great time at the hostel. The tasks were exactly what you would expect: housekeeping and cleaning. On longer days we would take lunch breaks together and help each other with the tasks. The whole atmosphere was very team oriented with volunteers and staff often working together. The area of Tamsui is really beautiful. There's a lot to do and from the train station you can reach the hostel in 30 minutes to an hour depending on where you want to go. I would love to come back in the future :)

An hour by MRT from the hostel, it was nice to see/feel the contrast in Tamsui. It's slower paced & can enjoy great sunsets. The staff at the hostel were friendly, the tasks were well explained & have plenty of free time. It's not a social hostel but nice to chill & take in the local area.
