This truly felt like being taken on a trip of what Manila is all about. The host, the people, the trips, the community meals all make you feel apart of a community and with the host being a local himself. He would take you on whatever you wanted to see granted if everyone wanted to. That feeling of security felt really nice in a foreign country. The hours were very flexible, sometimes maybe to much. If the activity was an exhausting one he would even say to do it tomorrow. All in all a fantastic experience with many interesting memories to think about for a long time. (Beds were pretty hard :(

An unforgettable 9 days at the home! Although I came for content creation, the vibrant community, daily outings, cooking together, and non-stop fun meant time flew by, and I mostly helped out in the kitchen instead. Josh is an incredible host who creates a wonderful comfort zone for everyone, and the volunteers and guests are amazingly friendly. Highly recommended!

By staying at the home we got to see the real side of the Philippines. I felt like I was part of the culture instead of being a tourist. The hosts were very accommodating and the vibe at the guesthouse was extremely fun! The daytrips were also great. We've helped children and did a coastal cleanup. I will never forget the moments I've spent at the home

This experience is truly one of a kind. If you're nervous about solo traveling or volunteering for the first time, this is a great start. If you like city life then this is also a great opportunity. Josh always makes the volunteers and guests feel included while never forgetting to have fun! I came with no itinerary and did the coolest most unexpected things every day. This isn't going to be like the vacation you would plan yourself but it's the best experience the world can offer. Best experience hands down!!!

Good facility, easy work. Josh is great for setting up activities for volunteers. It definitely shows you life outside of the tourist zones. I really enjoyed getting out with the kids and seeing the joy on their face for little luxuries we take for granted.
Definitely an eye opening enjoyable experience

The home is a welcoming place to stay in Manila. The atmosphere is friendly, and the accommodation is comfortable. The volunteering schedule is flexible, which gives you enough time to enjoy your own activities, explore the city, and discover Manila at your own pace.

I really enjoyed my time here. Josh is a wonderful host and a positive person. Together we helped people in need, explored the area, did activities, and cooked local food. Greetings to my chef from here!🫶🫶

The home exceeded my expectations. It's not your typical hostel. They're creating a community here. I felt welcomed and free to contribute wherever was most natural for me. Josh and Chris, again, thank you.

I had an amazing experience volunteering in the home community. Josh is an amazing host and a very warm and energetic person. Always caring about all the guests and volunteers to feel comfortable and safe. I love his idea of preparing local food and share it with all the guests, eating only by hands! It was a truly unforgettable experience! Also, Josh organised so many tours around the city, showing us not only the touristic parts, but also the life of the local people. This volunteering experience will definitely stay in my heart forever! Regarding the work, it is very easy and flexible!
