This was my second time volunteering at this hostel, and it was just as fantastic as the first. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and supportive, making you feel like part of the family right from the start. The work is well-organized, with clear guidance provided throughout. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and look forward to coming back again!

I had an amazing stay here—it truly felt like a safe and welcoming home! The hostel's central location makes exploring the city easy and accessible. While the work is physical, it becomes more manageable as you adjust, and the schedule allows plenty of time to enjoy the rest of your day. Plus, the team is accommodating if you need a specific day off. A big thank you to Hara, Josh, and my fellow volunteers for your hospitality and fun times! I'll miss you guys and hope to visit you whenever I'm back in the city :)

Where do I start and what all can I tell you. I can get short of words to explain how amazing hosts are Hara and Josh! This was my first volunteering experience and I got to experience with these amazing people and the hostel. They just make sure that you are safe and comfortable throughout your stay and they always help you whenever they can when it comes to your daily task. I got really lucky with this opportunity and I cannot recommend them more.

Where to even start with New Stay Inn :') The greatest hosts. This place is truly a home in Seoul to me now. The work is easy to learn, it's just very physical. I hurt my back the first week but it got better as my body got used to the work. Hara, Josh, and John are truly as wonderful as they seem online, and I got so close with the other volunteers so fast. The whole team feels (still) like a family, and every time a new person arrived it felt like they immediately became a part of the family too. Thank you for everything Hara, Josh, John, and my fellow volunteers. I miss you all already💗
