The host is a dream to work with, very easy going while also being diligent and thorough. He also brings snacks from the local markets some days 😝. It's in a good area with lots of culinary options and hikes.

I loved my experience at the hostel! The town is small and touristy, yet so magical at night when the lanterns light up. There are lots of hidden spots and natural scenery to discover. Lots of cats too! The hostel work itself is as expected. The hours vary depending on how many guests there are, and can range from 1-4 hours if done thoroughly. The boss, Alan, is very welcoming and brings lots of yummy snacks for volunteers to try. He also comes in most days, so he is easily accessible if any issues arise! I made so many good friends; I'm sad to leave :( Definitely volunteer here!!

Volunteering at the hostel is a great experience, whether you have experience or not! Alan is welcoming, friendly, and makes sure you feel comfortable. The work is well explained, and communication is excellent. You have plenty of time to enjoy the area, go hiking, enjoy the proximity to the ocean, and discover a multitude of things. I can only recommend joining the hostel if you have the opportunity.

Jioufen was such a fun and unique experience! The host, Alan, is a great person, nice and hospitable. He cares about the hostel deeply. If you have any questions you can always ask him. He leaves us freedom, is flexible with shifts and days off. Tasks are easy to manage and you get detailed introduction in the beginning. The team is made up from both international and local volunteers so it's a great mix to meet people from different backgrounds! Hostel itself is small, nice and cozy. You get all the facilities you need. The only con is the lack of sunlight in the reception.
