I stayed at New Stay Inn for 1 month but I wish it had been longer! The staff are so lovely and accomodating there, they really took time to be kind and show me what I needed to do. My duties were cleaning the rooms in the morning and rest of the day was free time. The other volunteers were so friendly and good natured and I really was lucky to have such lovely workmates 😊 The staff even took us for lunch/dinner on occasion to bond and there was always rice/seaweed/kimchi available in the kitchen to tide us over. I would recommend to everyone to volunteer here ☺️

My time in New Stay Inn was short, but I am so happy I was able to be part of the team here. This was my first volunteering experience and I couldn't ask for a better one! The managers are the best, the place is beautiful and I met great friends. I would love to be back here soon! The schedules are ideal to enjoy each day at Seoul, there is plenty of places to visit nearby and the managers are always in contact to help you if you have any questions. Thank you Hara, Josh and John for all the hard work and the happy environment!

My 3 weeks in Seoul flew by so quickly. I absolutely loved working at New Stay Inn! Hara and Josh are wonderful and always made sure the volunteers were doing good! The work was easy, working hours are respected, and the other volunteers were great too! I was lucky enough to experience amazing Korean culture and cuisine with them. If you need any recommendations regarding sightseeing, food or activities, they're more than happy to help. I'm definitely coming back to visit again! Miss you guys already!

I had a great time at New Stay Inn, Hara and Josh are truly perfect hosts! They would take us to restaurants or even cook a traditional meal for everyone, work hours were respected and they helped us out if there was too much to do some days The location is also great to explore Seoul! Thank you again for everything, I hope I can come back sometime!
