Rules

House Rules & Community Living 🏡✨
We want you to feel right at home, so you will have your own set of keys to come and go as you please. To ensure a smooth and comfortable stay for everyone, we just ask you to follow a few essential guidelines:

Safety First: Our top priority is security. Please make sure the main entrance gates and house doors are always locked after you enter or leave.

Smoke-Free Indoors: Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the house and bedrooms. However, you are more than welcome to smoke in our outdoor shared areas, such as the garden, terraces, and open lounge zones.

Privacy & Respect: Kinti Wasi is a peaceful, community-focused space. To maintain a respectful environment for all guests and volunteers, bedrooms are strictly for personal rest and sleep; we kindly ask you to keep intimate encounters outside of the volunteer quarters.
