I had an amazing time and was very sad to leave. Stella and the others are really kind and make you feel welcome and cared for. The other volunteers were really nice aswell, we quicly became good friends. The work hours and tasks are very decent. And the location of the volunteers house is close to the 2 work location, myeongdong shopping street and metro. The house is a bit small for 4 people, but you get used to it quickly. I wished I could have stayed longer, thank you for hosting me Stella and wish you all the best in the future❤️

I have been in this hostel for a month but this was such a lovely experience! The work is pretty simple and easy, you just have to clean a few rooms and do some additional tasks that are also simple. The house is really small but I was amazed how convenient it is, there was literally everything you need for survival so you don't have to spend much money. Also I loved the way managers took care of us, they explained our work in detail, always checked if we have everything we need, they were also super friendly and at least for me the most important thing - everything was perfectly organized!!!

I had the best time during my stay! The dorm/Apartment was comfortable and clean, the food was delicious, and the work was easy and enjoyable. Stella, John, and all the other staff were amazing—so friendly and welcoming. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

I had a great time for a month here! The job is pretty easy once you remember every step and usually it's less than 3h/day. The team is welcoming and speak good English so it's easy to communicate and feel at ease. Accommodation is small but has everything needed. I was just a bit disappointed that the work place is a hotel and not a hostel so you won't meet other travelers except the volunteers at this place. Over all it's a good place to spend some time and discover Seoul in a safe atmosphere. Thank you again everybody! Shoutout to Stella who is the most amazing and cute manager!!
