The Experience

The most important job would be to help us for reception work: check ins, check outs, rent scooters, sell buses and tours and so on. On top of that, you would help decorate the hostel, and make it more welcoming to backpackers in general 😊 We have a team of 4 staff and around 6 volunteers, and we're a big family that shares everything, and eat lunch and dinner together 🍜

I had the best time at the hostel! Lan is so nice and always there to help, as are the two ladies who work there. This was my first time working at reception and it was fun! The shifts are good and you get two days off, so that's great. It's also a social hostel so very easy to get in contact with guests / other volunteers. Thank you so much for everything, Lan!

I had an amazing time volunteering at the hostel's. Lan is an amazing person, always supportive, and genuinely lovely to be around. The work itself was simple and the hours were very reasonable, which gave us plenty of time to relax or explore the area during the day. The hostel is clean and the food was very good with traditional Vietnamese cuisine. I truly enjoyed my time there with the other volunteers. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for the best volunteering opportunity.
