I truly enjoyed my experience at the the guest house. Everyone was kind and welcoming, and I met amazing people and made some friends too. Xiaohua is the sweetest dog – impossible not to love her! The village itself is calm, there's not much happening there (except some occasional night market karaokes or live shows at the pub), but that was exactly what I was looking for. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking, and the rooftop is the perfect place for stargazing! The work was easy and the hours were respected. I hope to be back one day! :) Thank you guys for having me! Hug Xiaohua for me! :

The guest house is truly a beautiful town. I enjoyed a lot of local food, and the local people were incredibly warm and friendly. The manager, Lin, was very kind and took me to many beautiful places. The location is right in front of the ocean, so I spent a lot of time swimming as well. If you can speak Chinese, you'll have an even more enjoyable experience😊.

I stayed at this hostel for one month and had a great experience. Lyn made me feel very welcome and at home from the start and always included me in group activities. I also met the owner Eric, who was very friendly and made me feel welcome as well.
I really enjoyed meeting people from Taipei, other parts of Taiwan, and different countries. It was great talking with everyone and learning about their lives and experiences.
I also loved the group dinners, which created a very social and friendly atmosphere. It felt like spending time with friends.
I would definitely recommend this hostel!

I would totally recommend this place to everyone, don't hesitate to apply! the guest house is a very beautiful village which is in the same time very quiet and has everything you need there. Work is not very hard, mostly maintenance of the place but sometimes other easy jobs like waxing doors or easy gardening. Three weeks spent there were very pleasing and calming experience. Lyn, one of the hosts will try her best to take care of you. I met many super nice people there and will remember this place for a long time :))

Stain is a very considerate and capable person, we had so much good time with him, not only help the daily routine tasks but also showing his passion to help fixing some problem that i wasn't expect that it could be solve.Thank you so much Stain, you really help a lot !
Also he is quite open mind with a caring or loving heart, animal lover
If you can have Stain to be with your team, it will be very helpful at the same time with a lot of joy~
Enjoy your collaboration :)
