I had such a great experience at the hostel in Busan! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely welcomed. The staff and volunteers are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make everyone feel at home. You can really tell they care about creating a community. The space itself is beautiful, clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. The beds are comfortable, the common areas are inviting, and there's such a positive vibe throughout the place. Yummy breakfast

Amazing experience at the hostel! Seong is a kind and generous host who makes you feel at home. The space is super well-equipped: comfy private rooms, breakfast, coworking passes, gym, and perfect location in Haeundae — close enough to everything, but peaceful. Plenty of events, outings, and chances to connect with people. As a new setup, some roles were still being defined at first but improved quickly. Great balance of work, fun, and community. Would've loved more interaction with locals, but overall an amazing experience! Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience Busan!

It was a life-changing experience that I'll cherish forever. I formed deep friendships with the other volunteers and connected with guests from all over the world. Every day brought something new and meaningful, the facilities were top-notch, and it truly became a place I now call home. Leaving was hard, but I know I'll be back.
