The time I spent in Kimchee guesthouse was really amazing! I also extended my stay for one more week but if I could I would stay even longer. The work is not complicated it takes only 2 hours and sometimes even 40 minutes so you can have plenty of time to explore Busan. We had really great team and spent a lot of time together. I really loved the atmosphare of this place. The host is also very friendly and welcoming. If there is any problem he will always try to help. Overall I would definitely recommand this place for volunteering and I hope that one day I can come back again.

I had a nice time at the hostel, and the work was simple, with enough time to spend the rest of the day. If you want to meet a lot of people, I recommend going from April to the summer because it is quite empty before then. The workers and volunteers are very nice and helpful, especially the housekeeping manager, who is a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend it because you meet so many different people, including locals. :))

Working at Kimchee guest house was a very nice experience the majority of the volunteers were warm and welcoming and Jayden is an excellent host and is very accommodating to many requests including specific days off if you wanted to do some day trips :,). The work load is reasonable and not too time consuming leaving lots of time to explore busan! Should you choose to collaborate with Jayden I think you will have a pleasant experience ( ◠‿◠ )

My one and a half months at Kimchee living in the girls dorm were absolutely amazing, from the very beginning people are so welcoming and sweet, I’ve made friends for life.
The only problem I encountered was Jayden being a bit absent as a manager which caused occasional uncertainty and animosity within the group. He did make an effort before I left to set clear instructions though which helped!
During my time here I’ve been so happy and felt very safe. I would recommend it to anyone who is social and wants an eventful traveling experience (as it is a fun party hostel).

I was at Kimchee for 8wks and it was an ok experience. The owner texts instructions but leaves people to manage themselves, which doesn't work well. It stirs up alot of passive aggressive group chat drama - sometimes irl screaming - not worth the free bed and ramen in my opinion. If he properly hosted/trained people, it could be better. There are pros/cons in every place and if you just want to party while you're there and leave, it's a fun hostel(Haeundae is great) but then I'd recommend staying as a guest instead. I've worked in many hotels/hostels and there are better volunteer places tbh.
