I had an amazing experience at the Homestay!! The volunteers, students and staff were incredibly kind, funny and welcoming :) The place is very social, with lots of people going out to explore the city and trying fun activities! The work itself is easy and laidback, mostly just having conversations with locals about life! Only about 2hrs a day, so you'll have lots of time to explore the area. Hanoi city centre is only about 1hr by bus or 30 min by bike. But don't worry… the homestay area is also very vibrant with great food, shops and karaoke!

Volunteering in Vietnam, teaching English at the homestay, was an unforgettable experience. I was welcomed with incredible hospitality and met the kindest people who made me feel right at home. It's the perfect place for meaningful interactions and cultural exchange. The people and students in the homestay are really welcoming and took us along on local adventures to explore the country and truly experience their culture. It was heartwarming to be part of such a generous community.

I would come back 100% at the homestay. Although the instructions were not clear, the vibe there makes it totally worth it! I made really food friends there (both volunteers & local people from Hanoi region). And the job is basically sitting and speaking English with the students. Harry is an amazing host, very welcoming, very funny and yet very professional. The staff is similar and they warmly welcomed me when I got there to make me feel at home. See you soon and thank you so much for the opportunity!

Stayed in the homestay for almost 3 months. It was my first time volunteering so I didn't know what to expect but I was quickly met with hospitality from the friendly students, volunteers, managers, and owner. I will be very sad the day that I leave since I became used to the environment and made many friendships. After moving around countries without feeling at home, I felt like I finally had a place where I could be myself and feel at home. This has been one of the best experiences in my entire life and I will always treasure it, hoping I could come back someday. Thanks for everything :)

This homestay has truly been a home away from home. I was only supposed to stay for a short while, but now I wish they had a minimum 1-month stay—because leaving is honestly heartbreaking! The hosts—David, Harry, and especially Margret are some of the kindest and sweetest people I've met in Vietnam. Always supportive, always smiling, and genuinely invested in making sure you have an unforgettable experience. Food, fun and friendship you will find it all here. Love you guys and thank you for everything❤️
