I had an amazing time volunteering at Cave Guest House. The managers were kind and considerate, and our tasks—cleaning 1-3 rooms and common areas like the rooftop, kitchen, and stairs—were manageable, starting at 11 AM and ending by 2 PM. The food supply was abundant, including bread, spreads, rice, and kimchi, and the fully equipped kitchen was a bonus. I shared a dorm room with three co-volunteers and enjoyed one free drink daily. I could also do remote work in the kitchen or café. Connecting with my co-volunteers and exploring Seoul made this a rewarding experience. Highly recommended!

I had the incredible opportunity to volunteer at this hostel in Seoul for two months, and it was an unforgettable experience. The managers were absolutely amazing, so kind, welcoming, and always ready to share a laugh. They made me feel at home from the very beginning, and their support meant a lot to me. The hostel itself has such a warm and friendly atmosphere, perfect for meeting people from all over the world. I've made wonderful connections with both fellow volunteers and guests, creating memories I'll cherish forever. Thank you to everyone!

I had a great experience living at the hostel for ca 7 weeks. Working there you are friend first and worker second. The managers take great care of us volunteers and are fun to be around. I also had amazing volunteers to live with and go on small adventures with (mainly dinner and karaoke hahahah) Cleaning can obviously be a nasty job sometimes but the work isn't too hard and hours were often less than expected. Usually the work can be done within 3hours or less. The hours are also nice because other than with most other volunteering gigs I've done you get the afternoon to yourself.

I am so grateful to Hara and Josh for making my experience here at the hostel so wonderful! I immediately felt so welcomed and comfortable and they always made sure I had all the support I needed throughout my stay. I could not have picked a better place to work at. I have made some incredible friends and wonderful memories. It was my first time in South Korea and I would love to come back again and work here I loved it so much. I could not be more thankful!

This is my first experience with Worldpackers and it's truly worthwhile. The daily work isn't stressful, I can usually finish it in 2-3 hours, leaving the rest of the day free. They provide a variety of food like eggs, milk, bread... and also take us out for meals sometimes or cook for us. The hotel is close to Myeongdong, with 3 subway stations nearby, and there's a convenience store right downstairs, so it's very convenient for getting around. The luckiest part for me is meeting wonderful hosts like Hara and Josh, as was well as other friendly volunteers. I will always cherish my time here.

The hostel was my first experience with worldpackers and it was the best ever! Hara amd Josh really make you feel welcome and try to help as much as they can, the work is pretty easy and most of the time just takes a few hours so it leaves plenty of time to visit the city. The hosts are also really flexible with the dates so if you organize you could also travel around Korea. I definitely recommend this place to anyone that want to experience life in Seoul, here you will really feel at home!

This was my second time volunteering at this hostel, and it was just as fantastic as the first. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and supportive, making you feel like part of the family right from the start. The work is well-organized, with clear guidance provided throughout. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and look forward to coming back again!

I had an amazing stay here—it truly felt like a safe and welcoming home! The hostel's central location makes exploring the city easy and accessible. While the work is physical, it becomes more manageable as you adjust, and the schedule allows plenty of time to enjoy the rest of your day. Plus, the team is accommodating if you need a specific day off. A big thank you to Hara, Josh, and my fellow volunteers for your hospitality and fun times! I'll miss you guys and hope to visit you whenever I'm back in the city :)

Where do I start and what all can I tell you. I can get short of words to explain how amazing hosts are Hara and Josh! This was my first volunteering experience and I got to experience with these amazing people and the hostel. They just make sure that you are safe and comfortable throughout your stay and they always help you whenever they can when it comes to your daily task. I got really lucky with this opportunity and I cannot recommend them more.
