Jenny and Jeremy were such great hosts and people, firstly they have a high standard for cleanliness which i love !! They also g out of their way to help you in got a swollen eye and Jeremy found medicine for me just pure kindness and not only that they supply you with breakfast foods each week, my experience was so much more than I expected and the hostel itself has that homely feel about it which makes it social and warm, i loved my time here and was sad to leave.

I enjoyed my time here and felt very welcome. I think the most fun part was meeting so many new people and getting to hear their stories. Thank you 🫶

Luna was a warm hearted person, reliable , faithful, follow rules as much as she does. She tends to little bit shy, it was so cute
Even I didn't have much time to talk with, I can feel , she is positive, easy going, like meeting ppl. I feel sorry not to have enough time get to know in detail. As a host, I recommend her definitely. We all miss her so much. I hope she can return here once again as like old guest like do

I didn't really enjoy my experience but it was as described. 4 hrs a day, 6 days a week was just too much for me. I didnt feel like I had time or energy to explore. Some days I would spend all 4 hrs cleaning. Other days I would clean 2 hrs and spend 2 hrs helping people check in. I always worked 4 hrs. I took around 40-60 pictures each shift of what I cleaned. The host was nice to me but not all my coworkers would say the same. The hostel is nice and affordable. I would rather pay to be a guest than be a volunteer.

For working hours, we already describe all working conditions as it is.
It was like 4hours a day, 1day off for a week. We keep thus rule to everyone.
Sometimes it can be flexible when we have new volunteers arranging schedule. Even though we can offer another day off as much as we could when situation allows

Personally i didn't have a good experience here. The place doesn't look like in the pictures (old pictures probably) but thats not a problem necessarily. I felt like the host didn't like me. The work takes 4 hours a day with shifts either morning afternoon or evening. Since i was there, until i left, the task list kept getting bigger. We had to take pictures of everything that we clean and send them to the host. The volunteer room is in the hostel near the reception and we sometimes had guests in the room. I didnt feel like i had enough time for myself. I wouldn't go back.

Terrible experience. They kicked me out claiming that I didn't work, even though I can prove that I did. But that wasn't even the worst part I asked for just a little time to finish packing my things and they didn't allow it. I had to stay outside in –7°C cold with all my clothes on the ground.

Birdnest Hostel was my first volunteer experience and, without a doubt, I will always carry it in my heart. I made incredible friends, I greatly improved my English, I learned to live in Seoul as if it were already my home. Jenny and Jeremy were excellent hosts; I am very grateful for everything they did for me. I was sick and both of them were worried about me, they gave me medicine and were always attentive. Jenny is very kind and Jeremy always bought us coffee. Without a doubt I will always carry them in my heart, thanks for these 2 months, I have wonderful memories. I hope to be able to return in the future❤️

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
