I enjoyed my time volunteering at the hostel on the reception, the host Linda and her daughter Alice were very kind, as were the other staff. The accommodation at the hostel was also pretty comfortable.

Breakfast was poor, diner was ok, room and bed were fine, toilet was often smelly, discount on drinks was only on alcohol or soda, discounts on tours were not described and not interesting. Pictures are not fully representative of hostel. Linda does not providence any organisation. When I arrived i feel like I was not expected. There was no tour of hostel, no presentation to staff and other volunteers. Training is very light and sporadic. During the day, volunteers are alone, some are left demotivated without tasks. And i left before because i feel some guests were not well treated, one cried.

I had a very comfortable stay at the hostel. Although a bit chaotic, the work is really nice and you get enough time to do things you like. Vang Vieng is a beautiful place to stay but not for too long.

The hostel was a comfortable place to stay. Vang Vieng is a very beautiful town with the hot air balloons appearing every morning and afternoon. The work was confusing and things change a lot as the hostel is very new. I would recommend going for the receptionist role to have more clearly defined work. Linda and Alice are very friendly and good people however the rest of the family is rude and not easy to get along with but you don't see them much. Four weeks is a bit too long to stay in Vang Vieng, if you take it slow you can do everything there is to do in two weeks. I had a great stay.
