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.

My time at the hostel was amazing (I even extended for a little bit longer). I met so many people from all over the world, who definitely became my friends for life. The work itself was okay and easy to learn. I also really loved Georgetown! So many cultures and things to do. So I would say if you want a mix of a social and cultural volunteer experience, the hostel is the place to be.

My two weeks at HOJ were awesome! I met so many amazing people and the work load was totally doable with enough free time to enjoy beautiful George Town. I felt at home there during my stay, the vibes of the other volunteers and the guests are just incredible. I'd stay there again any time! 🤗

I've had an incredible time at the hostel! It's a big and social hostel with daily activities so it's easy to get in touch with and socialize with the guests. We were a big team of volunteers which felt like a little family on top of that. My stay was during Chinese New Year which is a big deal in Georgetown and the owners organized events around that that were so much fun!! The work was quite simple reception work and hosting activities every now and then. All very reasonable! The only thing that I was missing would be more kitchen appliances other than the fridge and hot water :)

HOJ has been my favourite hostel I've volunteered at, the people and the vibe make this place unique and homey. The shifts were posted the day before so it was difficult to plan out my weeks. All the hostel activities were great for socializing and I had fun hosting them as well.

My experience at the hostel was okay. When I arrived no one knew I was coming. For the first week I was there, there was a problem with a long term volunteer which made the feeling of being there not so good. the hostel is a very social hostel and can be a bit party sometimes, the hours agreed were respected as well as the days off. Overall and besides the problems it is a very chill experience, and recommended if you want to meet people.
