It was my second time volunteering here and I couldn't be more grateful. I met a lot of people during my stay that now I can call friends, and as I said in my previous feedback about the work it can be done in 2 hours if everyone works as a team and you have 6 days off per month, also great location if you like Namba. Thank you so much Jun さん

I spent 6 months at Hostel Q
The location next to Namba Station is unbeatable, with food and entertainment everywhere. Tasks are straightforward and fast when working as a team. We shared an 8-person mixed dorm, so basic respect for shared spaces is key. Thank you for the kindness, helping me with my Japanese, and all the great memories! ✨

I have mixed feelings, so I am giving it 3 stars. The tasks were easy, although sometimes unbalanced. The volunteers were definitely the best part: they became like family and I made great friendships.

There were some issues with organisation and cleaning equipment. However, the main problem was an incident with a guest who shouted at, insulted and followed me after I accidentally tried to open his room. I apologized immediately, but was still asked to apologize again. Later, I was denied entry and had to pay for two hotel nights because I no longer felt safe.

I stayed 2 months at the hostel and its location couldnt be better. Its at the heart of Namba right Next to the river. The work is easy, normally takes 1.5 hours to clean everything and you get 6 days off per month. Staff is very friendly, and although It might not be the most social hostel, you can practice your Japanese easily since most of the volunteers are Japanese or From Asían countries also studying Japanese (atleast my experience). 100% Recommended!
