Both me and my friend stayed for 2 weeks and it was our first workaway experience. I gotta say, it is truly wonderful experience throughout my stay here. The hostel is very clean and the workload was very reasonable. Mainly cleaning and moving stuff thats about all. It ranges from 1 to 2 hours at best. Furthermore, the hostel is located at the… read more

They are irritating people because they are so responsible that as a boss I can't be lazy. They're like crazy nerd kids in school with glasses who raise they hands all the time to answer all the dump questions that they are so eager to know if they're doing a fine job and they would force me to tell them if there's anything wrong. I hate them… read more

They got high standard for their own work that you can totally rely on them! And all you need to do is to feed them with Netflix. XD

My sister and I had an excellent Workaway experience in December, thanks to Kiwi and his family and being in Yilan in general.
The work in general was very easy, involving general bed making and cleaning of the bathroom and hallways. Kiwi cared more about us enjoying our stay than having a tip-top clean hostel so he was quite lenient about a lot… read more

Kiwi and her family are excellent people. They are friendly, relaxed and calm. I felt very good there. In addition, the hostel is large, spacious and work is easy.

Thank you very much for the opportunity.

Taiwanese people are very nice!

Maia had been a wonderful helper during the stay. Not just she would do the work well, but also has ideas and tend to share to make our place better. I can't even count how many times she helped with some emergencies and I owe her for that! You can't miss her if she would go to your place!

The host was very nice and the place was comfortable! I stayed there for about 3 weeks and loved it. The cleaning was not much to ask for and if you needed help, the host would gladly like to help out. He also helped me with my Chinese in my free time, which I thought was very generous ! I would recommend !!!

Oh man, words cannot describe how great of a time we spent at Kiwi's wonderful hostel. We originally planned to stay 3 weeks, but ended up staying there for 6! Kiwi, April, and his family truly made us feel welcome and treated us as one would treat close family. As soon as we got there it felt like home and we'd consider Kiwi as an older brother,… read more

For my first workaway, this was a great place to be! The building is well maintained to begin with, so cleaning it isn't terribly difficult. The bathrooms even have water hoses which makes cleaning them worlds easier. I was here in the middle of summer, but the rooms are equipped with AC, so it was perfectly comfortable.

Since we almost always… read more

I had a great time here! The work is not hard and the hours is around 1-2 hours a day, but it is a little more busier on sunday since there are many guests. Ylian is a pretty small city, but there are many places to visit near there like Jiaoxi, Luodong, Su'ao, and Hualien. Also, it takes just 1 hour and 20 minutes from Ylian to Taipei.

Kiwi is a fun guy who has traveled himself, so he put a lot of thought into building his hostel the way he would want to find a hostel himself while traveling. It’s just about the little details that make your stay so much more comfortable.
