Getting to the hostel was very easy. The atmosphere is very friendly, as is the staff. If you need anything or have any questions, they'll help you in any way they can. The tasks were quite flexible, which gave you time to explore the city. It also encouraged you to socialize with other volunteers. I had a great time there.

The the hostel was one of the best places I could spend my time in the hostel for two months, the tasks are quiet you can do and then spend your free time as you want, And everyone there is very cool and receptive, I would love to come back again!!

The team was wonderful, and the work load was super manageable! the hours didn't consume your whole day so you could go and explore before / after your shift which was great!!

I had a great time! Hours are super reasonable and very flexible if you want a day off or to switch. I loved the team and everyone working there. I didn't find it to be super sociable with other volunteers but I think that was just the time of year. Would come back!

I had a great experience volunteering at the hostel! The management and reception team are incredibly kind and approachable, making you feel comfortable and supported from day one. If anything goes wrong, you can count on the managers to have your back, which is really reassuring. The overall atmosphere is welcoming and enjoyable, making it a great place to volunteer. The only downside is that if you're a digital nomad, the WiFi can be a bit unreliable at times, which might make online work a bit challenging. But aside from that, it's a solid 10/10 experience!

The experience I had at the hostel was incredible! From the beginning, the entire team was very helpful, attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, I had to leave before the end date of my volunteering, but I would definitely stay longer and hope to return another opportunity! Shift schedules are respected and tasks are easy and calm.

I definitely recommend this opportunity. From the day I arrived I was very well received by manager Jin, and the rest of the team is super kind. The activities are varied and can sometimes be a little overwhelming, but if you feel comfortable carrying out a specific one, you can communicate this with the manager and she will help you with it. The room is also only for volunteers, there are two different ones, which means they are never full, I shared a room with a maximum of 3 other girls.

I had a great time staying at the hostel! Kitchen staff both morning and evening shift are lovely, my favourite! Work is not heavy, and having 3 days off during the week is very good to get to visit the hostel in a proper way.

My stay at the hostel was very nice and pleasant. I had the opportunity to learn more about working in a kitchen and all the details you need to take in consideration when doing it. The volunteer's manager, Jin, was very lovely and always available to talk about any problems or schedule changes.
