This guesthouse is a great place to spend your volunteering time. In a great neighbourhood in Seoul so close to the river with a gorgeous view from the rooftop. Juliana is a great host and so so funny. She loves to learn about you and your culture and as long as you do the job required she you won't have any issues. It's only 3 hours a day, 5 times a week it's very easy work and in exchange you get to stay at a very homey guesthouse.

I had an absolutely amazing time at this guesthouse. The host and other volunteers were friendly and the workload was fair. It's also a great location, very close to the station and city centre. I'd love to visit again. Thank you!!

Hand river the guest house and Guesthouse was a great place to connect with people from other parts of the world. Julianna is so kind and nice to work for. And the guesthouse is really close to the metro so it makes it easy to explore Seoul during your time off!
