I enjoyed my time at the hostel. Work was easy and didn't take too long so you have plenty of free time. Located in the mountains near nature and lots of hiking trails. Not a very social hostel so a good place to relax and find peace. Cozy and friendly environment. Thanks for everything!

I had an amazing time here. the hostel is a gorgeous place. The work is simple and can be often finished in less than two hours. Alan is a great host, with interesting suggestions on how to spend free time. Highly recommend.

I had such a great time at the hostel and felt truly happy during my stay. Host Alan was very kind and shared lots of great recommendations for places to visit and delicious restaurants around the hostel. At the hostel, I helped with reception or housekeeping—both tasks were simple and easy to get used to. The main street in the hostel can be very crowded, but if you take the side alleys instead, you can discover hidden cafés and enjoy beautiful views, making your trip even more special🤗

I had a great time during my volunteering at the hostel ! Alan is very welcoming, friendly and make sure you're feeling good. Work isn't difficult, well explained and we had good communication. You have many time to enjoy the area, there are a lot of hikes around and plenty of things to discover. Alan makes himself available to show you nice spots and always bring some snacks to share 🤤 Thank you very much ✨

Alan/ Juifen was great! Alan is quick to chat, very kind and respectful host He laid out tasks clearly and we even made a chart to help understand full expectations on day 1. He brought sweet treats to share, and work is simple. Juifen itself is a hiker/ explorer's OASIS. It's so fun! Just make sure you get anything you really need before arriving, grocery store is about an hour away- and breakfast isn't provided like explained. This was a perfect start to my trip! Thank you Alan!!
