It is a good place to stay, and share with other people from every where, the atmosphere is chill and cozy, Howard the owner is always keen to do the place comfortable for everyone and also taking care of his volunteers, respectful, making sure everyone be happy and comfortable.

I stayed at this social hostel for 4 weeks and had an amazing time! My main responsibilities were at reception—checking guests in, answering questions, and creating a welcoming vibe. I also got involved in organizing and joining social activities like salsa nights, a street art walking tour, cycle tours, and even gym and pool sessions. Thanks Howard!!

I spent two weeks at the guest house and it's definitely a highlight of my trip in Malaysia ! I felt at home since the day I arrived ! My tasks were mostly at the reception, but I could also organise events (as salsa class!). And I had lots of time to connect with other volunteers and the guests. Malacca is a really nice and cute city. It was my first experience as a volunteer in a hostel, and I highly recommend !

Volunteering at the guest house was an incredible experience. From the very first moment, The atmosphere is very social and dynamic, perfect for travelers who love connecting with people from all over the world. My tasks as a volunteer were simple and well organized: encouraging guests to join activities (like bike tours, trivia nights, and dinners), occasionally helping at reception, and creating a positive vibe around the guesthouse. The team was always supportive and flexible when needed. I learned how to lead activities, work as part of a multicultural team.

My experience at the guest house was amazing and I'd definitely would recommend it to anyone. Howard is always super nice and fun to be around, even though sometimes his instructions are a bit enigmatic 😄 But everything works out at the end. The work was exactly what described and you can always rearrange it among volunteers the way you prefer. There's a high degree of freedom, autonomy and flexibility. The vibes at the hostel are really nice and I got to meet a lot of cool people, both volunteers and guests. Malacca doesn't have that much to offer but the guest house made it a great experience 😁

This was my second time volunteering here after 1 year. Same as last year I enjoyed working with other volunteers and met a lot of fellow travellers. The fun and social vibe at hostel remained the same, and this time I enjoyed Chinese New Year celebrations in Malacca as well!

My time at the guest house was disappointing to say the least ... i am sad to have to write this to be honest as this is my 4th worldpackers experience and every one up until now has been truly amazing where i made long lasting friendships with the staff and guests The system here at Ringos is unique ... you will be trained by another volunteer who has been there maybe a couple of days making it an easy environment to make mistakes in There is also a lack of leadership and connection with the staff here ... i met the owner and manager of the hostel probably 3-4 days into my stay there
