The Experience

A social hostel made for travelers by a traveler. Our garden bar is the perfect setting for our guests to not only share travel stories but a place to create them. We're looking for a bartender to join our volunteer crew. Our social volunteers run the daily hostel activities and jump behind the bar on busy moments. As a bartender you will be responsible for opening, running and closing the bar.

It was my first, and definitely not my last, experience there and in volunteering in general. It was wonderful!! my co-volunteers were the best people I've ever met. We all got along perfectly with Ben and were an amazing team. The events, the party nights, everything was great. There were one or two issues with the accommodation, but they were resolved quickly. Overall, I can recommend it to everyone. It's a shame I had to leave earlier for health reasons. <3

I had a great experience working at the hostel! Going in, I had no idea what to expect, but the staff & volunteers were so friendly and helpful. Taking trips to waterfalls & waterparks, we had a lot of opportunities to bond as a team. My favorite part of the actual "work" was learning to make cocktails. I just ordered a cocktail shaker— my flatmates are very grateful for this new skill.

It was my first volunteering experience and it was incredible. The work is fun and includes running the hostel, socializing with guests, organizing evening activities, and taking people out for the pub crawl in town. Thanks to this experience, I was able to improve my English and meet travelers from all over the world. Hoi An is also one of those cities that makes you want to stay longer – so this experience is just perfect.
