I had a great time in the hostel. The work hours are fair and the work itself it's not complicated. The schedule is pretty flexible and you have enough time to explore the rest of Seoul. Kylie and Barbora were always prompt to help or explain if necessary. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay.

I enjoyed working with Kylie and 100% would do it again!! The work was reasonable and not too challenging. It didn't ever feel like it was too much or overwhelming. Schedules were organized, tasks were clear and shifts were very do able. Kylie was also very flexible and worked with my schedule many times and was very understanding and helpful !!

My experience in this volunteer program was truly amazing. It was three months full of learning, unforgettable moments, and connections with wonderful people. The host was incredible with me, always kind and attentive, and made me feel at home. The place is very well located, organized, clean, and comfortable. I take with me very beautiful memories, and I am very grateful for the opportunity to live this experience. Without a doubt, I recommend it to other travelers.

The time at the program was amazing, especially the people that you meet at the staff house if you are as lucky as me you will meet life long friends. Regarding the overall work I think it's really fair and you always work your hours or sometimes a little bit less. Give it a try, especially if you would like to be in an area as fun as hongdae. :)

This place felt like home, and I am incredibly grateful for the time I spend here. The work is very doable, and the shift well organised. I loved our appartement, and thought there are 8 people living, it never felt crowded, in contrary I enjoyed having people around (yet it's important that everyone keeps it tidy) I had so much fun with you guys and I'm gonna miss everyone so much :( Big thanks!! 💙
