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!

The Hostel was very social and very well located. Closed to the best restaurants and the famous street art in George Town. The host was flexible, I could change my dates and shifts when I needed. The volunteer team vibe was amazing, I felt at home 😊✨

I seriously can't recommend this enough !! my experience was enjoyable that I wish I extended my time there. the work at the hostel was manageable and easy to grasp, making the experience fulfilling and stress free. what truly stood out was the friendly and energetic atmosphere created by the owners and fellow volunteers. they foster a welcoming environment that makes you feel right at home.
