The Experience

Work scope can vary from helping with checking in/out, little bit of gardening and cleaning, entertaining and giving help to the guests. It'll be a plus if you are passionate in cycling. No experience needed, we will provide training! There are 3 reception shifts all 4.5 hours. We don't care about your gender, your religion or where you are from. Most importantly positive attitude above all. We look forward to having you here. Regards Howard

Absolutely amazing experience!
Howard is a great host, super welcoming and always recommending cool activities or sharing his tips about the city.
With other volunteers you feel like a big family and everybody is super helpful with everything.
The guests are also amazing, the backpacker vibe of the hostel attracts beautiful souls and it's very easy to connect with other travellers.
Tasks are very easy to do and the shifts are reasonably assigned.
I loved my stay here and I wish to come back in the future! 🫶🫶

My first volunteering experience, and it was off the charts! Howard is extremely kind, outgoing, and welcoming. The hostel is organised, clean, and with a great social vibe. Most of all, it's very relaxing once you get the rhythm of the place. Warm travellers all around, and the activities every other day are the cherry on top. I would recommend this place for new volunteers, and I highly encourage anyone to visit Malacca and learn about it's history from the lovely book in the hostel: Malacca voices from the street. Thank you~❤️

Volunteering at the guest house was one of the best decisions I made during my time in Malaysia. The hostel is warm and the people are amazing! Work was simple, straightforward, and flexible. There were already 5 volunteers when I arrived making the hostel feel activated and friendly. If you're looking for a place to slow down and relax from traveling while making lifelong friends, this is the place for you.

The guest house was definitely a highlight of my trip. The vibe there shifts, but it's never bad. Howard, the owner, is actively engaged in running the events, and is amongst the most welcoming hosts I've had the pleasure of meeting. The team of volunteers varies - I've seen it go between 1-4, but you're never truly alone, and the more people, the more fun/events there are to be had. Facilities were great - there's a fantastic rooftop, and the opportunity to make a few coins through beer sales/laundry. The job itself is very easy — there's a lot of things to know, but once you know, you know

The guest house is an amazing place. From the very beginning, I was warmly welcomed by both the volunteers and the host, which made me feel comfortable right away. It's the perfect environment to socialize and meet travelers from all over the world. There's a really special atmosphere here, open, friendly, and full of positive energy. It's easy to make connections, share stories, and create unforgettable memories together. I truly felt like part of a community, not just a visitor. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone :)
