I stayed at the guest house for a month, and it was an incredibly memorable and joyful experience. I would highly recommend this place. It's located right in the heart of Seoul, making it very convenient to explore the city. Our host OG is kind, patient and caring. I can't find a better host. He prepared lots of food for us and took us to many great‑tasting restaurants. Daily work was really easy: tasks like vacuuming, mopping floors, and cleaning toilets and shower rooms could be finished quickly. The other partners I met were also very friendly. I really hope to come back again!

My 3 weeks volunteering at Jogno Stay really flew by. OG is a very kind and generous host, he even occasionally bought us breakfast even though it wasn't listed on WP. The work is very easy as well, consisting mainly of cleaning or reception duties for around 1–2 hours a day, and sometimes OG would help with the cleaning too. The dorm was cozy and never noisy. A great place to explore Seoul!🤩

This month flew by! Let's start with OG.
You won't find a kinder, more hardworking person. He's always there to help with any questions you might have.
The work: I was the only volunteer and worked between one and two hours per day. You vacuum, mop, and make sure everything is clean and tidy in the bathrooms & common area.
The room: you share a room with guests (women only), but it's comfy and never loud like a party hostel, so you can sleep peacefully.
I volunteered in many places in Seoul, but this is hands down the best one.
Thanks, OG, for the opportunity!

I love to stay here in the guest house, the owner OG is a very kind person. The work here is easier and calm. If you looking for a place cossy and in the center of Seoul, this place is perfect, you can go to everywhere and OG can help you with orientation about emblematic places. Thank you OG for everything 🙏🏻
