I felt very welcomed from the very first day. Even though the owners aren't always around, Jenna, Dwey, and the cleaning ladies give all the support you need and create such a light, friendly environment. The tasks are easy and they are very flexible. Breakfast is simple but really good, and you also receive 10 RM per day at the end. The location is perfect, right on the main food and party street. My last day was unforgettable. I loved it so much — thank you for everything! 💌❤️

I'm so glad I came to HOJ! One of the best hostels I've volunteered at. fair hours, clean and comfortable place, and the best vibe. Special thanks to Janna and Dewy for their patience, guidance, and support, they made everything easy to learn. Reception shifts are well-structured and activities were so much fun, I loved leading the pub crawl and meeting amazing people from all over the world. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I'm grateful to have been part of the HOJ family, I truly felt at home and left with unforgettable memories.

I loved my two weeks of volunteering at the hostel. The work was quite simple and the schedule was flexible. I enjoyed taking part in the activities organized by the hostel, which allowed me to meet many travelers. The staff was very kind, the hostel was always clean, and the dorms were spacious and comfortable. The hostel is very well located in the city of George Town, and Penang Island offers plenty of activities. I highly recommend this experience, 100%!

I had the best two weeks at HOJ. All the volunteers were amazing and we quickly became a family. It's so easy to meet people in this hostel and the hostel itself is in an amazing location and always clean. I would recommend this place to everyone who likes being social and is outgoing⭐️If you're looking for a place that's quiet and don't really want to socialise, this place is not for you, but if you are then you'll have the best time here!
