I really enjoyed my time here. It's always a good vibe in the house and the work helps you get to know a lot of incredible people. It's light and fun. Made a lot of friends here. The house is quite small for the number of people and the food delivery is below the needs of everybody. Only one bathroom

I got the opportunity to come to this studio twice and I had amazing time! I met so many amazing people and made lifelong friendships with locals and other travellers. Job is easy and helpful managers always take into consideration your schedule and try to arrange shifts accordingly, so it's very easy to travel around and explore city. Accommodation is small but cozy and can get messy with 10 people around, but if everyone does their duties, it's absolutely manageable :) I would recommend this place to absolutely everyone who wants to explore Seoul and learn about daily life in Korea! :)

Because of personal reasons, I had to leave the volunteering studio earlier than I had planned. The team was very nice and flexible about this. Overall, I really liked the work at the studio, but the studio could feel a little stuffy at times (especially because the AC broke when I was there). The apartment is very small and very crowded with 10 people. In the end, I think your experience will depend on your fellow volunteers, and I definitely think you could have a really good time here :)

The AC at the studio is all fixed now! We apologize that the timing was a bit off while you were here. The overall living expenses in Gangnam are much higher than in Busan, so we can understand it might have been a bit challenging to adjust after your time there.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see you again soon!

Talking with the locals it's a really nice experience. I had so many nice talks there. Really liked it. The accomondation definitely needs a common area, but it was okey, more or less.

The experience was very nice. The apartment and the studio are very close. Working in the language studio does not feel like work, every talk is spontaneous and different. Most of the people who go there are workers or students. The apartment is quite small and there is only one bathroom for ten people so, sometimes it can be quite messy. Everyone in the apartment was charming and usually we did plans together.

Thank you for your kind words!

We acknowledge the challenges with the apartment space and are actively working on improvements. Given our limited resources and prime location in the heart of Gangnam, it can be challenging, but we are committed to extending our goals.
We appreciate your understanding and support!

The work we did as volunteers was very immersive and interesting, as we talked to many Koreans and learned a lot about the culture and received many tips about the city. The schedule is well organized and the managers were very flexible with our dates and helped us out. However, a very negative point in this experience was the accommodation, which was lacking a lot... very small space for 10 people to live in, poor organization and cleanliness, mould in some places. It could really be improved with proper cleaning, which is impossible to maintain with the constant change of volunters...

It was nice to meet locals but there was meter high mold in the apartment which made people sick. The host doesn't care about the volunteers. He only cares about his profit. Do not recommend this place.

I enjoyed my stay, the other volunteers are amazing people, I would kiss them all in the forehead. The work is not hard and the schedule is flexible if you want to change shifts with other volunteers. The managers where nice, but we all wished they where more caring sometimes. Sometimes we would face difficulties with the accomodation and didn't feel the expected involvement from the managers. Also, the place is small, it's very important to clean as you use because it can get messy quickly. All said, I really liked the stay and, despite any minor issue, I do recommend it.

The experience in the studio was not bad, I could meet great people there and make new friends, sadly, I can't say the same about the place we were staying. It was so small for all the people living there, the food they promised was not enough, there was only one toilet and the place was VERY DIRTY with mold on the walls (this caused me allergy in all my body). The communication with the owner was really bad. He didn't pay attention when we explained our concerns about the place and made excuses all the time. I would recommend texting to other volunteers before going there.

The concept of this experience is good, but in reality I wouldn't recommend it to anybody. It seems that financial profit is the only thing the host is concerned about. The accommodation is way too small for 10 people, terribly equipped (only 1 WC), and extremely poorly managed. There was mold everywhere, there was no dining table to eat from. The promised breakfast was insufficient for the number of people and the laundry was non-existent. At one point the only toilet got severely clogged and the host was reluctant to fix it in a timely manner. I had a disappointing and stressful time.
