The hostel is a magical place. It was my first volunteering and I felt very welcomed and directed. I only had one problem with the room but I talked to Linh and she solved it. Including what an amazing woman and professional, it was very good to work with her, always very understandable. In addition, I made very special friends on that date and in dear Cat Ba

The hostel local staff were amazing! The hostel is very social so it's super easy to make new friends. Volunteer accommodation is not the best but it does what it needs to do. The hours were quite heavy though, they were very strict on getting 5hrs/6days which is a lot for a volunteer. The jobs (besides hosting events) was essentially just being a staff member (Barback and server). But this helped us get to know the local staff who are amazing! Overall this volunteer is very fun but be sure to communicate as much as possible!

The work at the hostel was easy and didn't even feel like work, all the staff were lovely and I spent most of my time hanging out with them. Linh is lovely and an amazing leader, she was always open for new ideas and was very flexible!

Our experience at SC was incredible. From the first day I felt welcomed and part of the team. The atmosphere is very positive, organized, and with good communication, which makes everything flow naturally.

I especially want to highlight Linh, who was simply the best boss in the world. She was always attentive, ensuring that we felt comfortable and motivated. Her energy and dedication made the experience even more special.

Without a doubt, I recommend this place to anyone who wants to live an enriching volunteering experience, meet wonderful people.
