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!

Thanks a lot Ben for… read more

We had a fantastic time with Ben, his wife, Moon, Student and the rest of the staff in Sapa. The hostel is absolutely beautiful, the artwork and surroundings make an extremely inspiring environment. We were initially nervous to paint a mural on the wall but Ben encouraged us and we're so glad we did. Thanks so much to everyone for your hospitality… read more

Moon was so lovely, always smiling and cooking delicious food, We felt free to create new things and were… read more

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 :)
