Program Details

Your main responsibilities include caring for our gardens and green spaces, helping keep the outdoor areas beautiful, welcoming guests, chatting with visitors, and creating a friendly atmosphere. If you enjoy photography or social media, we'd also love your help capturing everyday moments and sharing the unique experience of staying here.

We usually ask for around 20–25 hours of help per week, giving you plenty of free time to explore Ha Long Bay, nearby beaches, local villages, and hiking trails. We offer comfortable accommodation, a peaceful environment, and the opportunity to learn about local culture, sustainable living, and hospitality.

We don't expect perfection, just a positive attitude, reliability, and a willingness to contribute. Whether you're passionate about gardening, meeting people from around the world, or creating inspiring content, we'd love to welcome you into our community and make your stay a memorable experience for both you and our guests.

Shift Schedule
Volunteers help 4–5 hours per day, 5 days a week (approximately 20–25 hours per week). The schedule is flexible and depends on guest arrivals, weather, and seasonal needs.

Most tasks take place in the morning (8:00 AM–12:00 PM) when it's cooler, with occasional afternoon or evening help during guest check-ins or community activities. You'll always have 2 days off each week and plenty of free time to explore Ha Long Bay, relax, or work on your own projects.

We value quality over speed and encourage volunteers to enjoy the experience while contributing to our peaceful and welcoming community.


Rules

We keep our homestay relaxed and friendly, but we ask all volunteers to respect a few simple rules:

- Treat everyone with kindness, respect, and an open mind.
- Be reliable and arrive on time for your agreed shifts.
- Respect quiet hours so all guests can enjoy a peaceful stay.
- Keep your room and shared spaces clean and tidy.
- Help us care for nature by reducing waste and using water and electricity responsibly.
- Smoking is only allowed in designated outdoor areas.
- Illegal drugs and excessive alcohol consumption are not permitted.
- Please communicate with us if you have any questions, concerns, or need to adjust your schedule.
- Most importantly, enjoy the experience, be yourself, and help create a welcoming atmosphere for guests and fellow volunteers.
