Best work exchange ever. Phoebe and Jeremy are the nicest hosts and the breakfasts are always delicious. The work is fair and easy. We met so many travelers while staying here. It's the most social hostel environment I've ever experienced. All the travelers immediately become your friend. And Hualien is such a beautiful town with amazing Mountain View's and rivers to swim in.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience working at the hostel! Jeremy and Phoebe are the nicest hosts ever, and willing to help out with anything you need. The work hours are respected and it's just housekeeping each day, consisting of cleaning the floors, changing sheets, bathrooms, etc. There's so much to do in and around Hualien that makes staying here even more worth it. I would definitely recommend coming here if you enjoy nature, meeting locals, and meeting other backpackers as the hostel is very social!

It was a great pleasure and experience volunteering with Phoebe and Jeremy! They are great! My task was to cook breakfast for the guests and it was very fun! I met a lot of nice people and chill around Hualien. The place and the city are amazing. Cycling around it was very good. Thank you all for everything, I'm looking forward to comeback to Hualien again (:

Felt like a holiday with overseas relatives! Phoebe & Jeremy were such kind hosts โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿฅบ I planned 10 days in the hostel, 2 in Taipei, but spent the 2 days at the hostel instead coz I didn't wanna leave. Housekeeping was light (11โ€“1), tasks were clear. Bikes provided โ€“ great for exploring before and after shift. Hualien is a quiet countryside city surrounded by nature, with lots of summer activities. I had the nicest time with my co-volunteers, too. The place gave me a real sense of belonging. While P&J were away, Artrick & Anku toured me and introduced me to their friends. Wish I had more time! ๐Ÿ’›

Phoebe and Jeremy are incredible hosts! They're very welcoming, generous, and kind. I stayed for 18 days and wish I could've stayed longer. The hostel is comfortable and the work is easy. There are lots of tours you can do on days off, or just explore on your own. Hualien is a good balance of city and countryside, with restaurants and live music at the night market on the one hand, and easy access to quiet nature on the other. Taroko national park is beautiful to scooter through, even after the earthquake. It's definitely worth it to come here!

I had such a great experience at the hostel! The work was very light and fair โ€” just 2 hours a day, mostly cleaning, and the hostel was always super clean and organized. But what really made the experience special were Jeremy and Phoebe. They're not only siblings but also incredibly warm, kind, and always smiling. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and supported. They were helpful with everything and made me feel like a part of the family. The hostel itself cozy, peaceful, and located beautifully in Hualien. I would definitely come back one day, thank you again๐Ÿ’š

With the warm hearts and sincere care of Jeremy and Phoebe, I had such a happy and fulfilling time. We first met as host and volunteer, but they have become dear friends to me. Anyone who has the chance to volunteer here will experience great fortune and create precious memories to cherish for a long time. Jeremy and Phoebe, I don't want to say good-bye, but a See You Two Again sometime very soon^_^

This is my first volunteering experience ever and I had so much fun! I enjoy every single minute of it and became really good friends with Phoebe and Jeremy. They showed me around and introduced me to their friends and neighbors where I learned more about locals.
