At The Banana Tree Hostel in Ninh Binh, we’re more than just a place to sleep — we’re a community where travelers connect, share, and create memories together. We’re looking for a creative and social volunteer to help us bring the hostel vibe to life both in-person with events and online with marketing content.

Help plan and host fun events for our guests (quiz nights, bingo, parties, family dinners, etc.)

Capture moments around the hostel (photos & videos) and share the energy on social media.

Support with online marketing for our tours and activities.

Be the extra spark that makes guests feel welcome and included.

This is a role for someone who loves meeting people, having fun, and being creative. You’ll gain hands-on hospitality experience, improve your communication and marketing skills, and enjoy the chance to live in one of Vietnam’s most beautiful destinations.
