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.

I had an incredible 5 weeks at the hostel. Expectations are clear, the staff is great to work with, and tasks can be finished within 2-3 hours/day. I am so grateful to Carrie, Peggy, Ashley, Yun and Ping for their gracious hearts and delicious food recommendations! I also appreciate that with short notice I was able to extend my stay when my flight got cancelled due to the typhoon. Tamsui is so beautiful and truly feels like a second home. There is so much to do and see in the immediate area and the hostel is very accessible (buses, MRT, YouBike). Thank you again!
