My stay at the hostel made my experience in Cat Ba truly wonderful. If you're thinking about going to the island, I highly recommend this volunteer opportunity. I'm very grateful to Thinh for sharing so much about Vietnamese culture and the beauty of Cat Ba, and to the staff for the delicious food.

It was a really chill and quiet experience but I still met amazing international travelers and also connected with the locals there! It was a nice “reset“ and first Worldpackers experience. The manager was really flexibel if you wanted to switch your shifts or requested days off.

Everyone here is so kind! Tinh is very welcoming, he taught me a lot about the local culture and gave me lessons on how to ride a scooter so that I could explore the island. The cooks provide simple but delicious meals and everyone eats togther like a family. The work is fun and easy, but while I was here there were very few guests so bring a good book and prepare for lots of chill time during your shift. Since it was low season it was pretty quiet, but the staff, volunteers and local residents make it a lovely place to stay.

My stay at the hostel in Cat ba was really good. It wasn't the most touristic season for this area, but the team made it very enjoyable. I enjoyed staying there and had plenty of time to discover around the island with a scooter. I loved the animals that stay around the hostel, they were very cute and friendly. Thank you for those two weeks (:

I had the best time during my stay at the hostel. Thinh was so kind and funny, he offered several times to take to the city, book tours and recommendations around the island and he even tought me how to drive a scooter. The work is very chill so you'll have time to read books, listen to podcasts and play with the bunch of cats they have while you're at your shift. I would do it again.
