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!!

I really enjoyed my time volunteering here. Thank you Stella, John, and the whole team for creating such a warm and welcoming place. The work was manageable and well-organized, and I appreciated the clear instructions. I especially liked having the café to relax or study, and being able to cook easy meals in the apartment thanks to the groceries provided. I felt truly welcome and would love to return one day. Highly recommend this place.

This was my first ever volunteering experience and it was everything I could have ever wanted from my first time. Stella and John were the best hosts and I had such a fun time working at the guest house and the guest house. They create such an amazing environment that made being there so enjoyable. The work can be hard at first but once you get used to it, it's very easy and you get done with a lot of time to spare. If you're considering travelling to Seoul I highly recommend this place. The staff are so lovely and help you where possible and I hope I can come back one day!!
