This experience was amazing! I was lucky enough to be with an amazing team of both volunteers and managers at Jongro the hostel. The work is hard at first, but once you get used to it it's really doable! Don't doubt to ask questions to the managers because they will help you with everything they can. If you want to be in the heart of the hostel and have a clean and nice space to stay at, this is it!

My volunteering experience in the hostel was absolutely amazing! 🌏💖 I met incredible girls from all over the world, made friendships that I know will last a lifetime, laughed until our cheeks hurt, went out in the city to eat ,dance and created unforgettable memories. A special thanks to Chris and Sunchang, whose support and kindness made my stay even more enjoyable—they truly made me feel at home. Leaving was emotional, but I carry with me the hope of returning one day and seeing everyone again. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for adventure, connection, and fun! ✨

I stayed at the hostel jongro for over a month and honestly I loved the experience. The vibe was friendly, the cleaning tasks were clear, as agreed and easy to follow, teamwork is important and the key for an easy work so communication was always smooth. Now the important part, the team is really the best, they are always willing to help, and the place has such a warm, welcoming energy. I learned a lot, met AMAZING people, and left feeling really happy and with a full heart. Thanks again Manager for being the best, im already looking forward to go back to the best hostel!! ❤️

The location is great, in the middle of Myeongdong. The hostel is comfortable, I was lucky to stay in the guests room. The manager HyeonDu is one of the kindest, sweetest, and most caring people I've met. The work is fine, usually one or two hours a day. Breakfast is simple, but they help you to get something extra. I'd definitely recommend it!
