Volunteers in Hanoi

The hours and workload are quite good! You just need to help the students practice English conversations. The teachers support you in case of translations or something. As for the homestay, the beds are comfy! The female and male dormitories are separate, and the rooms are big. The kitchen is a bit messy and very basic, but not a big deal. The manager and the staff are suuuuuuuuper friendly and made me feel comfortable! Definitely recommend this homestay!

This place was great. It is in a calmer, less touristy part of the city with incredible restaurants and cafes. You can really get closer to Vietnamese culture and spend time with locals. The local teachers are very kind and social. Teaching is fun, and you have a lot of free time. Perfect if you want to work during the day or explore the city. The dorms are split into boys' and girls' rooms, and there are classrooms for you to work in. Overall, I recommend!

I would say this is not a bad experience, I am American that is Viet so I know both sides of stories. Of course everything could always done better but I like it that they treated me very well the first day, there is also someone who is knowledgeable about tour around Ha Noi. But I would say that there is no meal provided of course and ya would eat around town which is for University students so it's not bad, and by the way it's next to biggest university in Vietnam so I am happy to eat around here. Overall, I would love to come back if someone need me to stay longer.

Volunteering at the home was an amazing experience! The students were eager to learn, and teaching felt more like chatting with friends. The host David was warm and welcoming. I learned so much about Vietnamese culture while helping others practice English. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a meaningful and fun cultural exchange! About homestay, It's one hour bus ride from the city center, and 30 mints by Grab bike. Nice Cafes and restaurants are around here. The schedule is pretty flexible like free-talk with Vietnamese people in the evening.

I loved spending time here. I met people from all over the world, had fun, went out to eat and drink, and got the chance to teach and learn with the kids and families who come to the homestay. It was a meaningful and memorable experience. I'll definitely miss it!

The experience was really enriching and made me feel I was contributing substantially to change our student's lifes (all adults or college students). It has a very collaborative atmosphere and everyone in the staff and teaching team is very lively and kind, eager to share more about their culture and local history, Thang is even a tourist guide! In my experience the classes happen in a very free style so the main purpose was for the students to have an international setting to gain confidence in their speaking skills and expand vocabulary. I am very grateful for the time we spent together.

Es un buen espacio para intercambiar culturalmente con locales y voluntarios de todas partes del mundo. Todo el equipo del Homestay es muy amable y dispuesto a la comunicación de lo que necesites, siento que el voluntariado en si es bastante fácil, es hablar y socializar partiendo de un material de apoyo que ellos te dan. Lo único que siento necesita una mejora urgente es tener un mejor seguimiento con las reglas de limpieza de las areas comunes como cocina y baño. ✨
