Volunteering here was truly one of the most meaningful travel experiences I've ever had. It was my first time volunteering at a hostel, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better introduction. Nanou and Lena are incredibly warm and welcoming — from the moment I arrived, I felt at home. The atmosphere they've created is something really special. I'm so grateful for the memories, the connections, and everything I learned during my time here. I can't recommend this experience enough, and I already can't wait to come back.

Being part of the hostel Family is a true blessing. Work is fair - you give, you get ;) + if you have fun & love what you do, the work will be a as good memory as the parts of sitting together and talking with the guests ;)) this place was not only for guests a Favorite but also as part of the team you'll love every second there. Lena and Nanou really cared about us. Whatever we need - we could ask them. it was my first volunteer job and definitely not my last. Staying there really gives you peace and the feeling of being welcome. So grateful for my time there! Would recommend to everyone !

I had a wonderful time volunteering at the hostel! Nanou and Lena are kind, welcoming and warm-hearted people that made me feel comfortable and cared for from day one. I was able to learn a lot about the Sun Moon Lake area through talking to them and meeting their friends and family. The work is fair and leaves more than enough time to go explore the beautiful surroundings once you're off-duty. The hostel rooftop also creates a social and chill environment, perfect for connecting with other travelers passing through. Thank you for everything, Nanou and Lena!<3

They so lovely and caring! The work is very fair and the other volunteers were super down to earth and kind. The rooftop area has such a nice social vibe and I made some really amazing connections here! Definitely recommend volunteering here. Thanks team 💜
