I had a great time! Hours are super reasonable and very flexible if you want a day off or to switch. I loved the team and everyone working there. I didn't find it to be super sociable with other volunteers but I think that was just the time of year. Would come back!

I had a great experience volunteering at the hostel! The management and reception team are incredibly kind and approachable, making you feel comfortable and supported from day one. If anything goes wrong, you can count on the managers to have your back, which is really reassuring. The overall atmosphere is welcoming and enjoyable, making it a great place to volunteer. The only downside is that if you're a digital nomad, the WiFi can be a bit unreliable at times, which might make online work a bit challenging. But aside from that, it's a solid 10/10 experience!

The experience I had at the hostel was incredible! From the beginning, the entire team was very helpful, attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, I had to leave before the end date of my volunteering, but I would definitely stay longer and hope to return another opportunity! Shift schedules are respected and tasks are easy and calm.

I definitely recommend this opportunity. From the day I arrived I was very well received by manager Jin, and the rest of the team is super kind. The activities are varied and can sometimes be a little overwhelming, but if you feel comfortable carrying out a specific one, you can communicate this with the manager and she will help you with it. The room is also only for volunteers, there are two different ones, which means they are never full, I shared a room with a maximum of 3 other girls.

I had a great time staying at the hostel! Kitchen staff both morning and evening shift are lovely, my favourite! Work is not heavy, and having 3 days off during the week is very good to get to visit the hostel in a proper way.

My stay at the hostel was very nice and pleasant. I had the opportunity to learn more about working in a kitchen and all the details you need to take in consideration when doing it. The volunteer's manager, Jin, was very lovely and always available to talk about any problems or schedule changes.

The hostel has been a great experience, and Jin is an amazing manager,always friendly and helpful. Though outside the city center, transport is easy and close, so you can still explore during your free time. You'll mainly work with the housekeeping, dinner, and breakfast teams, all of whom are lovely and welcoming. Shift swaps and scheduling requests are flexible, and Jin does her best to accommodate. Depending on the season, you'll mostly work with children and young people ie school groups etc. Overall I felt well supported and recommend to those wanting to explore the hostel and its suburb

Rincy has been amazing to have around! She’s super hardworking and handles everything from housekeeping to kitchen and reception like a pro. Plus, she’s so nice and warm—it’s been a pleasure working with her. She’s definitely made a big difference here, and we’re really grateful for all her help.

I really enjoyed my stay at the YAH Hostel. The times and work were always respected and the staff was very welcoming and helpful. The hostel is in a safe location, from where you can also quickly reach the city centre and the city's many attractions. I would highly recommend working here as a volunteer and would definitely come back!
