Overall I enjoyed this volunteer experience. The best part was the volunteer apartment as having our own space made it easier to feel at home and make friends. I also found the work hours good, just 16 hours per week and we were never expected to work more, in fact sometimes you could finish early! I wish that the host had more time for the project, to fix problems with the volunteers or apartment, and ensure there were no confusions when assigning cleaning, but overall I would recommend this experience as I had fun whilst I was there and the tasks were doable.

This was my third time staying with Kylie, I love this place and this volunteer and I recommended already to friends that join us too and some is coming next year. It's a great location, the place provided is not in a the hostel but a entire apartment just for staff that gives us a home vibe and also more comfort. The work is worthy for the location and for all the comfort provided and I will stay here again soon.

I love being in this place, the house is comfortable and close to many things, the neighborhood isn't noisy, and you can walk to and from Hongdae. The work is easy and very worthwhile.

First time volunteering and I was not disappointed. This fact that there is a real apartment just for volunteers make you feel like you have a real home. Others volunteers are welcoming. I was able to practice my English and meet really great people. About work, you just need some time to get use to procedure but there is a really detailed cleaning manual so you can work easily by following tasks. Kylie, the manager, is really open minded and care a lot about volunteers and the fact that we are here to discover. She cares about social/work balance. It was a pleasure to work with and for her.

Kylie is an amazing host and helps to get you settled in right away. The cleaning tasks take a little bit of time to learn but once you adjust, it's relatively simple. The staff house is cleaned everyday and a great place to make friends with other travellers. Overall, I had a great experience with this trip! Thank you Kylie!
