I hadthe hostel fun time here. Working hours was flexible so I could always engage in activities that I want to try while volunteering here. The members were very kind and open to communicating with me. The team dorm hasthe hostel room for improvement since there was no AC and my sleep was often disrupted by ants and mosquitoes as well as soil coming down from the roof. But overall, I hadthe hostel very meaningful experience here. Especially, the yoga shala was beautiful overlooking the forests.

Hi Kanako, thank you for your feedback. I genuinely enjoyed having you with us and was happy to extend your stay by another 12 days.

I was a little disappointed with the 4 stars for Host & Staff and 3 for Hours & Tasks, especially as I regularly checked in with you and never heard any concerns. I only wish you had shared them with me directly—I would have been happy to listen and improve.

Wishing you the very best ahead.

I stayed at Hostel EXP for a month and left with memories I'll remember for a long time. The team was welcoming and made me feel comfortable from the beginning. I met really nice people, learned a lot, and had a good time here. It was a great experience overall, and I would recommend this place to other travellers.
