This was my first worldpackers experience and i really had the best time! i met so many nice people it was so much fun to hang out with the team every day and the manager was also very cool and sometimes he even paid dinner for us. the work is soo easy and often you finish more early so you have even more time of the day. you get to sleep in a staff room and the cubes are very comfortable and big enough. the hostel has everything you need in the bathroom and everywhere else. when i told the manager i wanna go to busan he even gave me an extra day off to see the city hahaha.i already miss it!!

This has been my first experience with worldpackers, solo traveling and outside of Europe and I can confirm it has been the best thing I've ever done in my life. I stayed at the Jongno branch, the hostel is really nice and has a beautiful decoration, architecture-related. As for the work, it's totally doable, and if you finish earlier you can leave once the supervisors check if it's done correctly. The food was amazing, I got to try different dishes of traditional korean food! My coworkers were all very friendly and I had a really good time with them! I really hope I can go back soon!!♡

My time at this place was truly amazing. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and comfortable — the environment is warm and friendly, and you really feel at home. The work is simple and repetitive in a good way, so once you learn the routine, everything becomes easier and more enjoyable. As long as you're responsible and focused, it's a smooth and rewarding experience. The two sub-managers were incredibly kind and helpful — they always made sure I understood everything, they listened to me, and supported me throughout my stay. The manager was also really nice. Thanks for everything!!!

Spending 2½ months at the hostel Myeongdong was a truly wonderful experience I will never forget. The balance between work and free time was just right. I really appreciated how everything was taken care of, especially the daily meals, which made things so much easier. What stood out the most was the warm and welcoming environment. I met amazing people, made great memories, and made amazing new friends. 😊 Overall, it's a great place I'd love to return to as a volunteer!

My stay at the hostel was Amazing. The manager Hyeon du was really nice and really understanding. The amount of work is more doable, you work 5 days a week and have 2 free days which leave you many times to explore the hostel. When there is a lot of work the manager help you. The location of the hostel is also great. Thank you for this experience
