I had a good time in Osaka and I met lovely people. The work hours are just 2 hours per day 5 times a week. Sometimes you finish even earlier. A lot of time to explore Osaka. But it really depends on the volunteers how clean the hostel is, because there is no temporary cleaning staff.

The stay at the hostel was nice. I was in a women dorm with 4 beds (I asked beforehand for a womendormery). How clean it is depends on how well you're doing the job. You only need to work a few hours per day when you clean. Sometimes I also did the reception (it's also possible with only a bit Japanese knowledge). The best part of the job were the coworkers who were international and also national travelers :)

Hide-san is a very kind and welcoming host. He gives the staff small gifts and sometimes he even buys us food. Sadly he had a health issue the last days of my stay and couldn't see him as happy as he is. Hopefully when he recovers he will be as happy and energetic as usual

I've had a great experience at the hostel, from getting to experience and be welcomed by the local team to making new international friends who are part of the volunteer program. Hide-san will always try to give you the days off you want, and the cleaning does not take a long time; it's pretty straightforward. I have made some great friendships thanks to the opportunity I was given, so I am very grateful for it. The team at the hostel is flexible, friendly, and accommodating, and I recommended it to anyone looking for a volunteer cleaning position at a hostel.

Had the best time at the hostel. Regular guests taught me how to speak a little Japanese and how to cook their food. I made really good friends. We laughed, shared food, ice cream, snacks and gifts we received from guests. The work is not difficult and it only takes about 2 and a half hours, sometimes even less. Hide, the owner, seems serious at first, but he's actually really funny, never let me work more than the hours we agreed and tries his best to give you a day off on the date you want. The bed is really good with plenty space for me and all my stuff. The location is also perfect. I'll miss.

Be aware that you'll be sharing a room with a total of 10 beds occupied by other guests (2nd floor). Sadly, I was kept awake every single night by guests roaming through their stuff, loud snoring and guests using the toilet and shower (which are INSIDE the room) in the middle of the night. For me it was also too hot and too bright during the night. I asked to be moved to a different floor where there are only 4 beds instead of 10 (3rd and 4th floor), but everything was booked. Luckily I was permitted to leave if I wanted, which I did the day after. So no problem in that regard.

Buena experiencia. El trabajo es fácil, usualmente no mas de 2 horas y media, además puedes compartir con otros voluntarios y con los huéspedes

Si eres chica te puede tocar vivir en una habitación a 3 minutos del hostel con una Japonesa. Ella hace su vida como si viviera sola. Secador a la 1:00am, ducha a esa hora también, luces encendidas. Lo último que me ocurrió y fue muy grave es que cuando se va a la ducha echa productos de limpieza antes muy tóxicos y al dormir tu cabeza literalmente pegada a la puerta del baño acabas inhalando esos productos y en mi caso acabé enferma con vomito. Me tuve que ir antes porque el Anfitrión no me quiso dar alojamiento en el hostel y comunicó que no podia hacer nada, me tuve que ir
