My experience here was really great! Ben and his wife have been very nice and cared for us, as well they organized bus tickets and a guided tour for us. Usually you are doing some art but we just cleaned rooms and helped with customers. It was good for me to do some work after a long time just traveling and it’s not too hard as well.

I was in SaPa and then suddenly saw this host and I sent him a last minute request and Ben instantly replied and asked to join the team.
Me and another traveller, we both went to his beautiful (read, amazingly beautiful!!) hostel after a few days as we were already on a trek through the beautiful hills and valleys of SaPa.

We met neither Ben nor… read more

Ben is a very warm and welcoming host. He gave us lots of freedom to be creative at his hostel in Sapa and I got to paint a few murals. The hostel staff were also wonderful, always preparing delicious traditional food for us. We carried on to Hanoi after our Workaway experience and Ben was kind enough to offer us a place to stay with his family.… read more

I am so grateful to Ben and his lovely wife for having me, at very short notice! This workaway experience gave me the freedom to get creative, the time to explore the beautiful surrounding areas of Sapa, and the chance to meet amazing people and make strong connections with locals, staff and guests. Would highly recommend this workaway!

Jenna and I had only one week with Ben and his team. It was an amazing time, until our time came to continue our travels and adventure and leave, we felt like we were leaving our family.
During our week there we helped Ben and his team build, decorate, and fix new hostel rooms for future guests. The view was amazing and Ben was always supportive… read more

I didn't stay at Ben's as a volunteer but I stayed at the hostel and he showed me arround and let me see what he wanted the place to be and why he needed volunteers. Unfortunately I couldn't stay longer, but I would have loved to help him.
Ben is really nive and he has been very helpful to me. I definitely recommend :)
