My time at the hostel was so special. I felt welcome immediately, and everyone who works here is so kind. The work is very relaxed, and gives you plenty of time to go and explore. This was my first Worldpackers experience, and I wouldn't change a thing. I learned so much about myself staying here, and a lot of that is thanks to Day Ron. He encouraged me to get out of my shell, and explore and meet new people. He has inspired me and my future travels, and I know he will have that impact on anyone who heads to the hostel. I cannot recommend this experience enough.

Thank you so much for your beautiful words! It truly means the world to us to hear how special your time at Funky Moon was. We're so happy you felt welcomed and supported from the very beginning, that’s exactly the kind of experience we hope to create for everyone who comes through our doors. It was a joy having you here, and seeing you grow, explore, and step out of your comfort zone was inspiring for us too. DayRon will be especially touched to hear how much of an impact he had on your journey

Volunteering at the hostel was most definitely one of the best experiences I had since I left home. The job is really easy and leaves plenty of time to enjoy the town and the beautiful nature surrounding Kampot . The staff is amazing, everyone is really supportive and makes all the experience really enjoyable and fun. I'm so thankful for every moment and memory I created in a magical place that I'll always consider as a second home.

You brought so much light and love into our space, and we’re incredibly grateful for the memories we shared together. It’s people like you who make this place feel like home. You’ll always have a special place in the Funky Moon family, and we can’t wait to welcome you back anytime. 💛🌙

Volunteering at the hostel wasn't just a job—it was an experience I'll never forget. I met some of the most amazing people, and the community there truly felt like home. The connections, the laughter, the stories shared—it all made this place special. Forever grateful for the memories and the people who became like family. :)

That means so much to hear, Riley. 💛 You brought such warmth and heart to Funky Moon—it wouldn’t have been the same without you. Your kindness touched everyone, human and animal alike, and you’ll always be a part of this place. We’re so grateful for everything you gave and so glad the experience meant as much to you as it did to us. You’ll always have a home here. 🌙✨

My time at both the hostel and Yellow Sun was truly magical. Meeting so many like-minded individuals - both local and international, led to so many friendships and connections. The managing staff are so friendly and helpful, you feel very welcomed. Great to have accommodation and covered meals, but the memories and experiences are what make it all worth it! Extra bonuses include cute dogs, amazing Khmer meals, lovely coworkers, and stunning sunsets.

Tia, your words perfectly capture the spirit of both Funky Moon and Yellow Sun—it was a gift having you as part of the journey. Your open heart, positive energy, and genuine care brought light to everyone around you. We’re so glad you felt the magic here, because you were a big part of creating it. From shared meals to sunsets, dogs to deep conversations—you’ll always have a place in our story. Thank you for everything. 💛🌅🐾

I stayed at the hostel for 4 weeks in total and I felt welcomed the second I arrived. The staff ( Heng, Hong, Day'Ron and the kitchen ladys) did a great job entertaining me every day ;)) The work behind the bar ist really easy and I only needed a few days to become a pro bartender. You definitely have enough time to explore the city and do trips. Would definitely recommend, as this was my very first voulenteer experience. I'm gonna miss the dogs Cheddar, Timon, Pumba and Jasmine the most, as well as the cat Maroon. I DONT WANNA LEAVE - HELP PLEASE!

We definitely didn’t want you to leave either! From day one, you brought such a fun, positive vibe to Funky Moon—it felt like you'd always been part of the family. Watching you go from newbie to pro bartender in no time was awesome, and your love for the animals (especially Cheddar, Timon, Pumba, Jasmine, and little Maroon!) was the sweetest thing. We’re so glad this was your first volunteer experience—it wouldn't have been the same without you. The door’s always open. Come back anytime! 💛🍹
