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!

I enjoyed my first worldpackers experience at Hangang! Juliana was nice and the other volunteers were helpful too. The guesthouse was a great place to stay.

I love the guest house! I don't want to go. I feel at home, the atmosphere is very pleasant, so are the people. Juliana is very loving and warm. When we have meetings with all the volunteers, she always makes sure that we are well and that we are not missing things. The rooms are comfortable and the hostel is well located, although it is on a high hill, the center is quite close, I love it 💖

I really loved my stay at Hangang. The work was easy, and the other volunteers were super nice. You get two days off each week, which is great for either catching up on sleep or making bigger plans. The usual task is cleaning the rooms, which starts around 10:30 and finishes with lunch cooked by one of the volunteers. The guesthouse itself is a cozy place. That being said, it can get a bit crowded, and your experience will depend a lot on the people around you. So come with an open mind and be respectful. I stayed for a month, and it was wayy too short, so try making it at least two :D.
