i loved my stay at omw hostel! the cleaning is easy and only took 2-2.5 hours a day maximum. the staff are so kind and helpful, and the instructions and schedule are really clear. the location of the hostel is great, i was able to get to central taipei most afternoons, and there are great hikes and hot springs nearby. i can’t wait to come back and volunteer here again. thank you all for everything!

I was staying at this hostel for over 3 weeks and if I come back to Taipei, I might go there again. The staff was super nice, they really cared about me having a good time. When I wanted to extend my stay they spontanously accepted it and were really understanding. Also they helped me with any questions I had and even did a BBQ, together with the other volunteers, wich was really fun. The tasks were really easy and most of the time work was done in under two hours. It was really clean and it has nice common areas where you can meat lots of nice people. Also Beitou is really chill and nice.

I have stayed at the hostel almost a month. Work is not different than whats written in the descpription, then you are all free and have time to explore taipei. Staff all were kind and helped me with work and finding places to eat, visit and understand taipei culture. I will miss all the staff and the city so much

Volunteering at the hostel was a nice experience. Sunny and Mia and the rest of the staff are all really friendly and nice. The work can be done in around 2-3 hours depending on the amount of check outs during the day. Beitou is a nice town to stay if you want to be in calm place but relatively close to the city.

It was my first volunteering experience. I stayed for 2 months and I did NOT get bored at ANY moment. The tasks are easy to understand and apply. The work is very, very well organized. You are never lost or alone faced with the workload. I recommend this very enriching experience to everyone. The hosts are all amazing and very understanding! You never get bored in Taipei. Between hiking in Yangmingshan and wandering around the capital, you can never get enough of Taipei. Thanks you so much !!! 🌞🌞🌞🫪
