Great experience at the hostel in Busan. I mainly worked in housekeeping and general cleaning, including guest rooms, bathrooms, and common areas. The work environment was organized and friendly, and the team was supportive and easy to communicate with. It was a great opportunity to improve responsibility, time management, and teamwork skills while meeting travelers from all over the world. Highly recommended for anyone wanting hostel experience.

I had a great stay at the hostel. The hostel is beautiful and has many great facilities. The people I met made my experience even better. The working hours were respected and the tasks were appropriate. I truly loved my time at the hostel.

The best hostel I've ever stayed in! The accommodations are amazing and the gym is a real plus. Every volunteer I met was so nice, and if you want to do activities or go out, there is always someone to join you 😉. The only negative is the communication between the manager and the volunteers. There isn't much of a social aspect there; it's mostly just orders and passive-aggressive messages on the WhatsApp group... but I hope it will improve soon! 😁 Except for that, everything is great. Don't hesitate to apply, it will be an amazing experience!

Thank you for your feedback, Alexandre!
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the facilities and the friendly atmosphere with other volunteers.
When you started, there were some issues with the operational system, and your time here coincided with the process of normalizing and improving that system. This was not a personal issue, but a system-level matter.
We hope you have many great experiences ahead, and thank you for being part of our community!

Three months at the hostel after a year of traveling made me feel at home for the first time. The place is absolutely amazing, full of things to do. There's a gym, co-working spaces, and much more. The location is great, a 30-minute walk from Haeundae Beach. The people I met there became my family, and saying goodbye was so difficult, but the memories made at the hostel will stay with me forever. Thank you, everyone, for making my stay so pleasant, and thank you, Seong, for such a good experience and hospitality. Going back to Busan, I'll definitely go back to the hostel. Rooting for the success of everyone☺

This has been my first volunteering experience ever and it couldn't have been better!! The hostel itself has the best facilities I've ever come across and a pretty convenient location, close to the beach and subway station! I've met the loveliest people with whom I could share so many stories & laughs, it started to feel like a little family:,) Working hours are totally fair and work is easily doable! Super thankful for my stay at the hostel, I'll definitely be back!! :)
