Kylie was a good gost, really good housing and really good working hours Free food everytime and she buy goodbye food as well when someone is leaving She takes us to some activity with her family sometimes so that is really good I would 100% recommend her Sometimes the volunteers can be disrepectful and make you leave but that was not the host fault, so I would recommend you go there, and the area is awesome, lots of cvs close by, clubs, shops etc, really good experience with her and in this area Best of luck for everything Kylie ❤ and thank you again, 고마워요

Working at the hostel Guesthouse was our first Worldpackers experience, and overall a very positive one. :) Kylie was very kind, flexible and understanding, and tried to respect our working hours. Communication about work distribution was not great and she was often disorganised and forgetful. Work was a little overwhelming at first, but fast to figure out. Although easy, often there was a lot to do. Location is great. Staff house is small but cozy. People we met were the best part of the experience and we were like family. <3 Text us if you want to know more about our experience!

Kylie & family were excellent hosts. The role is straightforward and you stick to the same schedule with minimal changes. Helping in their home was a great experience. Their child is very bright & joyful, an absolute delight. Regarding this particular role, it was a first for both the hosts and myself and I am thankful we could make the most of it together. The proximity to their home is very convenient and the location of the stay is amazing for anyone in South Korea for the first time. In my case, most of the assistance took place during late evening hours, ask & please plan accordingly.

It was an amazing experience! I met people that I'll never forget, during the volunteer, I feel we became a family, so it was great to have the opportunity to build a connection with everyone. I already miss the staff house. Although sometimes the work can be hard, Kylie really respects the working hours and she's also a very understandable person. At first, it is kinda of confusing but I promise it gets much better when you memorize the system. I hope you have the best time same as I did :)

The job isn't difficult but at the beginning, as always, is something that you have to get used to it to make it better and faster later on. The hours are respected and the schedule is flexible. The staff house is confortable, but you gotta know that you first stay in the hostel with guests until a bed is available in the house, or you can be lucky and get there with an empty bed right away. You get unlimited rice and noodles, something that I really took advantage of and it was super helpful for me. The volunteers were amazing and super interesting people that I had a good time with.

I really liked the experience, the job is not difficult, you can choose your schedule and volunteers has an apartment to stay, which make it easy to have some privacy with unlimited rice and noodles. I really enjoyed with Kylie, sometimes she invited us to get bbq for free, ice cream and we even went to a water park which was a different experience. The location is perfect, Hongdae is a really nice neighborhood, full of nightlife and easy to discover around. I really recommend it if you want to experience some time in South Korea.

The experience couldn't be better, I strongly recommend this experience. Kylie is one of the most kind and gentle hosts I ever met, always making all she could to make volunteers welcome and taking care of. She did a lot of dinners and even took us to Korean barbecue. The accommodation provided is really comfortable, it's a whole house for staff so there's space to chill, cook calmly and work with computer. The work can be hard some days, but it don't go after your agreed hour, and it's really worth it when you look to all benefits and the amazing location. I will definitely come back again.

Amazing experience I had in Hongdae! The work is really simple and you have time to do everything, also the schedule is really flexible. In resume you work cleaning the hostel, there's a few apartments around the area so you must to go there and clean, usually it takes around 4h which is your time of work. You gonna live in an apartment and is amazing cuz you have your own place with the other volunteers with everything you need! Thanks Kylie for the opportunity and I hope to come back again definitely!

The main benefit is the free time - 4 shifts a week can even become just two days of double shifts. However, besides that, the work culture is very unpleasant. Communication is poor and unkind, the tasks aren't always reasonable within the timeframe, and especially as a newcomer, the workload can be very stressful, which causes some to leave early. Personally felt that despite performing tasks well I was treated poorly, from passive aggressive comments to uneven task delegation between volunteers. Most volunteers were kind, but the toxic ones made me realize vetting process wasn't effective.
