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

This was my first volunteer experience on Worldpackers and it was all I could have hoped for 😍 Nanou and Lena are awesome hosts, very easy to talk to and will make you feel right at home. 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 💜

Best hostel vibes one could ask for. Nanou and Lena with their wonderful, giving souls, have created a truly wonderful space for people to come and rest on their journey. Home away from home is an overused phrase, but after only a short time of sharing life with these wonderful people, I truly found myself feeling at home. The volunteering experience was everything I could have hoped for; The work was straight forward, there were opportunities to learn about the local culture, time to explore the area, language practice, comfy place to stay. Can't recommend enough, blessed for the opportunity

I felt very welcomed by everyone at the hostel. Nanou and Lena provide a relaxed and funny atmosphere and were very dedicated to their work and that everyone was feeling good, no matter if it's volunteers or guests. To me, it felt like a respectful community for the three weeks I was staying there:)
