The Experience

We are a calm and cozy hostel located in Busan, the second biggest city in Korea. It takes only 7 minutes on foot to reach Haeundae Beach, one of the most famous beaches in the country. Our hostel can host around 80 guests and has great access to public transportation (bus and subway). We are run by Danny (CEO) and Chung-In (manager), plus a few staff members and usually 2–6 staffs.

I had a wonderful time at the hostel. The location was near the Haeundae Beach and pretty well connected as it was near a bus stop and a train station. The staff were helpful and friendly but the fellow volunteers I roomed with made the experience a whole lot better! I’d say that it got challenging towards the end when I was assigned to handle all the breakfast operations on my own without a buddy, especially when there were peak crowds. Still, enjoyable and recommended! Thank you the hostel!

I was able to do both the housekeeping and breakfast shifts. The more volunteers, the better the workload is distributed. Danny is always open for any inquiries so don't hesitate to ask. The other staff is nice too and explains everything well. It's a more calm and cozy hostel so not very social. Nevertheless I enjoyed my time with the other volunteers :))

Had a great time here, location is very good as well. The pictures in the profile is a bit misleading tho, since they are from the restaurant downstairs that's not open.

The team at the hostel was absolutely amazing. Danny, Gigi, Chung In were so kind and welcoming to both myself and my girlfriend and shared what both Busan and Korea had to offer us and I cannot thank them enough for being amazing people. the hostel is a great hostel that is conveniently located near Haeundae Beach and a lot of things to do in the area with plenty of amazing food as well. What is required of the volunteers are very easy, being part of the breakfast or housekeeping team. All the volunteers are kind and work together. Would recommend this experience to anyone wanting to experience Korea
