This was a very special experience for me. I loved meeting the local people, learning about their culture, and spending time with the children while helping them practice English. The people in the village are very kind and welcoming. I would recommend this program, but I think it could be improved by offering a few more tasks for volunteers. It is also important to come with an open mind and be ready to experience a simple local lifestyle.

We spent one amazing week in Nam Dam village with Nam, Lien, Thang, and their family. We helped them renovate their homestay, which had been damaged by a storm just two weeks before. They made us feel like family, sharing all their meals with us, showing us around the area, and even taking us on barbecues with their friends and taking us at the night market. We truly enjoyed our the homewith them and would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for an authentic and meaningful stay.

I had a very unique and immersive experience atthe home. I lived with one family in Tung Ba village and another in Pac Ta village. Both were very welcoming and hospitable. The work was not as structured as I was anticipating, it was very "go with the flow".
I enjoyed slowing down and living a simpler lifestyle. The scenery is stunning.
I assisted with farm tasks and house chores, taught some English, and played with kids. Some highlights were attending two weddings, visiting the Lung Cu flagpole at the "top" of Vietnam, and hiking up streams and hills to harvest crops.

Tuan was a very friendly host trying to provide us the best local experience. Unfortunately, we made a decision to leave the volunteering opportunity early as the stay was not what we were expecting. The place was very cold as it is in very early stages of being developed, similarly bathrooms were in quite a bad state with lack of privacy and comfort. Work was very dependent on your own creativity, with little to no guidance as the business is new and requires a lot of effort to build it up. Overall, definitely recommend the place for people with a lot of passion and energy!!

I had an amazing experience at the home Hostel while volunteering with Tuan, the owner. Tuan is an incredibly kind and welcoming person who made me feel like part of the family from the very beginning. The hostel has a warm and friendly atmosphere, is perfectly located amidst the stunning nature of Ha Giang. During my time there, I learned so much from Tuan and the guests who stayed at the hostel. It was a rewarding and unforgettable experience, Thank you, Tuan, for the wonderful opportunity and all the beautiful memories
