I had such a lovely time at Yume Nomad Hostel ! Aki is very kind and welcoming, as well as Charlotte, (her assistant) who was very patient and available during the first week of work. The work is physical especially during holidays time, but Aki always balances the planning very well between volunteers and cleaning schedules. Also, everyone was super friendly and we even organized a BBQ party 😋 ! The place is cozy as can be, and Kobe has a lot to offer and is great settling point to explore the Kansai area !!

I had such a lovely experience volunteering here for the first time, I couldn't have wished for a better place to start. The host and all the volunteers were absolutely amazing and everyone was so friendly, kind and welcoming!!! I have meet very cool Japanese artists here and the way the hostel it's decorated and artsy it's something unique and the work itself was quite easy, especially as long as you paid attention to the small details and did things properly, I ll definitely leave with a lot of good memories!!

My experience in the hostel has been great, definitely a place I would like to visit again some day. Thank you to all the volunteers I met, the staff and specially Aki-san that was very kind and always there if you'd have any questions. ありがとう！

I will never forget my time at the hostel and Kobe! This was my first volunteering experience in Worldpackers. Aki was really welcoming from the very beginning and would always respond to any questions we had. I got to meet volunteers from all around the world, and it always felt like coming back home every time I would enter the hostel. I was told beforehand that I would share a mixed dormitory, and the schedule was also shared at the beginning of the week, so you could plan your free time accordingly. I definitely recommend the hostel!

Aki is a kind and considerate person - she made all of us volunteers feel welcome and was very generous with her time. We had a takoyaki-making party which brought all of us closer, and she was a kind teacher with her help with my spoken Japanese. I will miss working with her; she is a bright and wonderful person! the hostel is a cosy, bohemian space that attracts beautiful souls. The work was simple; the longer I stayed, the more it felt like a home so it became even easier to clean as I wanted my home to feel tidy! Truly a lovely experience - I would go back in a heartbeat :)
