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!

I loved my time volunteering at the hostel. The work can usually be finished within 4 hours, and the schedule is flexible. The permanent workers and the other volunteers were all lovely, and the hostel really feels like a community. The only downside I can think of was that some of the male guests made me uncomfortable. Of course, if there had been outright harassment, I am sure more would have been done. I could also have communicated more clearly. Regardless, I am so grateful for my time in DanShui, and I would definitely consider coming back. Many thanks to Carrie and the whole team!!

I had a great time in Tamsui at the hostel Hotel. The work is really not complicated and only takes two to three hours a day. Tamsui is also a beautiful, quieter place than the hostel to relax and watch magnificent sunsets with several local restaurants nearby, but the hostel remains very accessible by bus or MRT. I would also like to thank all the people working in the hotel year-round who welcomed me, helped me, listened to me... they are wonderful people, I laughed a lot, learned a lot at their side. Thank you very much Peggy, Ashley, Yun and Carrie, don't change a thing ❤️

The past one month has been a fulfilling and joyful time. It feels like I just arrived yesterday, but the wonderful days have flown by so quickly. I'm truly grateful to the staff who made this time so comfortable and meaningful. Carrie, Peggy, Ping, and Ashley — thanks to you, I had a relaxing and unforgettable experience. This was my seventh visit to Taiwan, but the hostel is the first place where I've stayed for over a month. Thanks to your warm hospitality — sometimes like family, sometimes like close friends — I felt happy and deeply thankful throughout my stay.
