I LOVED my stay at the hostel!!! Thu and her family are so accommodating and selfless, they cooked us multiple meals everyday and went out of their way to make everyone's experiences special. The other volunteers I met were so lovely and people I will definitely be keeping in contact with. 10/10

It was an awesome experience. The taks behind the reception desk are really easy and the work hours are pretty fair. It's a very social hostel and we could be able to interact to so many people, which was great. And the vibes are 10/10!

I loved my time working at this hostel. It was my first time volunteering through worldpackers and I'm so glad I had such a great first experience. I felt really welcome and had a lot of fun with the other volunteers and the family.

My first Worldpackers experience but it was the best 3 weeks I'd ever spent!! Thu, her family and the other volunteers made me feel so at home. They fed us well- delicious food. You meet so many lovely people volunteering here as well. Luang Prabang is a gorgeous little town- I'd happily spend much longer there if I could. Highly recommend!!

Had a lovely time at the hostel!! The work is straightforward and allows you to meet and get to know so many people, which is wonderful. It's a lovely, busy hostel and shifts and days off are just organised amongst the volunteers, so it's very relaxed and you've got a good amount of freedom to choose when you work. Thu, the owner, is an absolute legend, and Josh is great - it was a pleasure to work alongside them, Thomas, and Thu's family. Just a small word of warning for veggies/vegans - the food is *very* meat-heavy! Really glad I chose the hostel for my first Worldpackers :)
