This is the most spontaneous volunteering I had and Im glad I did it. Rayson and Cheryl are great managers. They are not always in the hostel but they were communicative and made us feel at home in two weeks. Tasks are chill, work hours are respected and fairly distributed to all the volunteers. Highly recommend it to everyone who wants to have a short and sweet trip in Penang. I think HOJ is a great place to learn about the town, as well as meet people you want to explore the town with.

We volunteered here as a couple and it was amazing. Highly recommend. The hostel is very clean with good showers and toilets. The shifts arnt too long, giving you plenty of your own time to explore Georgetown or do whatever. In the shifts you are expected to check people in/out manage the till and other general stuff around the hostel. Once you get the used to doing these tasks the shifts are really easy and enjoyable. The owners Cheryl and Rayson are really friendly and helpful and made us feel at home. We met so many amazing people working here, I would highly highly recommend.

I had the best time at the hostel! I'm just two weeks I felt so at home there, Rayson and Cheryl are two of the nicest people I've ever met and they really look after their volunteers. I enjoyed the variety of working on reception and hosting activities including quiz nights and games nights. I would have loved to stay there longer and would recommend this to anyone (especially as a first Worldpackers experience)

I had a great time at the hostel. It is a very nice hostel (good common area, clean, free breakfast,) and also super social, so it is easy to meet new people! The work is super chill! I think Cheryl and rayson really know how to run a hostel. Most of the time they weren't there, so it felt like the hostel is running buy us which was cool! But when we had a problem they would reply within a few seconds!

Volunteering at the hostel was a great experience and I really enjoyed my time. The work is 5 hours of reception a day/ or taking guests on one of the scheduled hostel activities. Rayson and Cheryl were very nice and welcoming to all the volunteers. The hostel is very clean and the beds are very nice :)

This is an incredible place to volunteer that I would recommend to EVERYONE!! The hostel is very social but not a party hotel so it's a really laid back, friendly vibe - this makes it really easy to meet people and the activities are so fun to get involved in! The work-load is really reasonable with around 5 hours a day on reception/hosting activities on other days plus one full day off every week. Georgetown is a lovely place to settle down & relax and I can't think of anywhere better to spend your time than the hostel - I extended my time here & still didn't want to leave…
