I had a great time at Sun Moon Lake! The hostel is beautiful, the beds are super comfy, and Nanou and Lena are very welcoming. The work is straightforward hostel tasks, and you get plenty of free time in the afternoons and evenings. The only small thing I'd mention is that family dinner isn't always provided, and it wasn't totally clear beforehand. Also, having a bit more variety in the food options for volunteers (beyond vegetables and carbs) would make the experience even better. Overall, a lovely place to volunteer and visit.

I had an awesome time at the hostel Nomad Hostel ! I loved working with the team and learned a lot about hostel management. I also a lot of lovely guests and got to improve my english chatting with them. Nanou and Lena are very welcoming and accommodating. I felt like I was part of the family. I hope i can come back as a volunteer.

I had an amazing time volunteering here! Nanou and Lena are so welcoming and kind, and I felt at home right away. The work is straightforward and gives you plenty of time to explore the lake and surrounding areas. My favorite part was chatting with guests on the rooftop (such a cozy spot to hangout) I highly recommend this position to anyone who likes meeting new people and wants to spend some relaxing time in nature!

I will genuinely miss my time at the hostel. The hostel is small but comfortable. Especially the common area on the rooftop is the perfect place to spend your evenings and meet new people. Lena , Nanou and the whole family are all incredible people and will make you feel at home immediately. There's not much to do around sun moon lake but still you'll never be bored. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature , or hikes , or bike rides. I will especially miss the home cooked meals every night- perfect for people who have been traveling a while and miss home.
