I had the best time of my life at the hostel! The work is super easy and simple, you clean the guesthouse at 11am then check in the guests from 5pm. The room you stay in is great, its on the third floor and is very spacious, most of the time you will be the only volunteer so you get the room to yourself. the hostelitself is lovely too, super vibrant and great atmosphere. The best part about the hostel is the people, they are all so kind and really made me feel like part of a family. It was very upsetting having to leave and I will miss everyone so much :') I really hope I can come back soon!

I had an unforgettable experience at the hostel! The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and included and it wouldn't have been the same without them. the hostelis on the first floor, the guesthouse is on the second, and volunteers stay on the third floor. The work is super easy and takes at most an hour in the morning to clean the room, then check-in is later in the day from 5pm-10pm. It is in a great area and really easy to travel around Yokohama, Tokyo, and other places! I feel like I have a little family here and will definitely be coming back in the future!

I will never forget my time the hostel! The private room is super nice after staying in dorms for a long time. The work is easy and fair. A lot of free time and hanging out in the hostel. If you like music this is the place for you. The staff members are so sweet and take good care of you. You get to meet a lot of locals and other travellers. I hope I will come back to the hostel someday! <3

Sadly, I would not recommend this place to anybody. The communication is extremely poor and hostile, atmosphere mostly unfriendly, rules are not clearly communicated and if you have any problem you will be met with zero understanding or help. You cannot change bedsheets in the dormitory, they just tell you to spray the dirty ones with fragrance after people check out, which I don't find okay. Me and another volunteer left early because of how we were treated, we did not feel comfortable staying. Nobody cares about the volunteers. The music and location is cool, but for me not worth it.
