I absolutely loved it here. This was my first trip with Worldpackers and I was nervous at first, but this trip made that $50 down payment more than worth it. Stella and John are really nice and help you if you need help at any point. I met so many amazing travelers while I was there (I miss you guys), and the work wasn't bad at all. You're able to finish pretty early, so the other volunteers and I usually went to the cafe and chatted with John and Eric (improving our Korean and helping them with their English) for hours at a time. We were in the center of Seoul and have access to a lot!

Hi Ananyah,

Thank you so much for your kind words — we really enjoyed having you with us!
It makes us happy to know that your first Worldpackers experience turned out to be a good one.
You brought such a warm and fun energy to the team, and we really appreciated the conversations (and the English help too 😊).

We hope you’re doing well, and that we’ll see you again sometime.
You’ll always be welcome here in Korea!

Take care,

I have to say I had the greatest time here! It was my first volunteer experience and I'm absolutely delighted that it happened to be at the guest house! The work is not too difficult, you can finish earlier most of the time (depends how fast you are) and enjoy the rest of the time with the other volunteers. I got to meet the most incredible people and I know already I will come back. John and Eric are adorable and of great help. If you need anything, you can ask them ! I wish I could have spend a few more weeks because I love the team there. Thank you so much for your hospitality and your kindness! <3

It was my first volunteering experience and I was super nervous because of this. But today I came certainly guarantee that this was the best experience os my whole life, the anfitriões are lovely and compreensive (I personally had some difficulties on my first days of work and they were so patient with me🥺❤️), the work is easy and even though 4 hours of work are suggested, you usually can finish it on 2 hours, and all the deals are respected. I'll miss a lot and I'll always have this team on my heart, I 100% recomend it, there's no better choice than the guest house in Korea!

Volunteering at the guest house was a once in a lifetime experience! The work is easy and exactly as described, location is perfect, and it really feels like a family in here. Stella and John are amazing, welcoming and kind hosts. They are always open to hear suggestions from us, trying to propose fun things to do together, helping us with anything we need, and basically making the volunteers feel as comfortable as possible all the time. I wish I could stay longer! If you are reading this, don't hesitate to aply for this experience! Stellita, Johncito, keep up the good work and thank you! Love you guys

Volunteering at the guest house was the best thing I could ever do. Stella and John are the best managers you could wish for. They welcomed me so well and they were always ready to help me. The work was easy, the volunteers' room is big enough, there's enough food provided to have good breakfast, lunch and dinner and the location of the hotel is perfect. the guest house feels like my home in Seoul now, I have so many good memories with the volunteers, John and Stella. Thank you for everything

John and Stella are really good managers who made me feel welcomed and at home. They care about the volunteers and make sure everything is going well. They know how to create a really nice environment to work in. The work at the guest house and the guest house is what is agreed upon. It is not too hard and usually takes 2-3 hours. The shared room with the volunteers is cozy and the food provided by the host is sufficient. Volunteering at the guest house is a unique experience to learn some Korean and get to know the local culture. I loved spending time at the guest house cafe and exploring Seoul with the other volunteers. THX

This was our first volunteering experience and it was great, I went there with my sister and Stella and Jhon were always very kind to us, they made us feel at home and were always ready to help us in any occasion! All the staff of the hostels have become our family in Seoul! Regarding the work, in both hostels the work is very balanced and comfortable, all the task are so simple and every time they have the opportunity,they will help you in your tasks, everyone there are so empathetic and very supportive! Stella and Jhon we love you very much, and see you soon! 언니와 사장님 너무너무너무 사랑해🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Thank you so much for writing such a warm review! It was such a happiness for us to have you and Dani with us.

You both were part of something really special, as you were the first ones to help John and me shape the volunteer system. We're so grateful for how well you adapted, even during the chaos!

Always remember us and the memories we shared. You’re already a part of our family, and that will always be the case! Please come back to see us—take care and stay healthy until then! ♡

We stayed with them for 3 months and it was one of the best experiences in our whole life, we went as a pair, my sister Sahara and me and it was the first trip in our life, we felt at home and we learned a lot thanks to Stella & Jhon, we were always treated as part of the family and received help from them every time we needed it, no matter the situation, they were always really attentive. Related to the work, don't be scared, working in both hostels is comfortable, balanced, has the same requirements and you always receive help in your tasks. We LOVE U VERY MUCH STELLITA & JHON! See U Soon🩷

I have nothing bad to say about my experience with Stella & John! They were extremely caring, funny, and understanding and made me feel very comfortable being in a faraway place without knowing anyone when I arrived. I got very sick one of the weeks I was there and Stella & john were very attentive by consistently making sure I was okay, stella even went out of her way to buy me medicine. I knew I could rely on them for anything so I look forward to having a chance to visit again ;)
