Descripción
We are a family-run hostel and tour company located in Ha Giang City.
We help all kinds of travelers in organizing their journey around the Ha Giang Loop. It is a span of mountains in the north of Vietnam that can be explored by over 400 km of roads. Our company is dedicated to providing tour services for guests to safely explore the loop and discover all its beauty and secrets. At our hostel, we provide sleeping accommodations, motorbike practice and tour information. We are located next to the river in Ha Giang, close to shops, cafes, parks and lots of other restaurants. The Ha Giang Loop is the highlight of Vietnam for many travelers, and you will likely encounter many foreigners along your journey around the mountains!
As a volunteer, we expect you to assist us in the following;
1. Reception Work: As an English speaker, your ability to communicate with our guests is very important. More than anything else, assistance with front desk tasks such as checking guests, and helping guests purchase bus tickets would make everything much easier for our staff and our guests.
2. Tour information: After you settle in at the hostel, we ask that you participate in one of the tours around the Ha Giang Loop. Your knowledge and experience of the loop are very valuable to our guests, especially those who have not ridden a motorbike before. You can either take one of our bikes (semi-automatic or manual, with the correct license) or ride on the back of a bike while one of our experienced riders takes you around the loop!
3. Hostel Improvement: Your opinion matters to us! We want to know how we can improve our hostel to improve the guest experience! If there is anything about the room layout or decor, sleeping arrangements, that you believe is lacking in any way, please let us know. We are eager to refine our business! We are always eager to find volunteers with special talents, like painting, design or even musical talents to bring up the vibes of our hostel - so if you miss using your talents while travelling, we’d be extremely happy for you to show them off here!
Olivia is the manager of the volunteers. She is super friendly, really helpful, and always happy! She knows Ha Giang very well and ensures every volunteer is happy and comfortable. Creating a family bond is a special part of our volunteer experience and Olivia really values this. All of our staff are really friendly, always laughing and making jokes. They will help you with whatever you need and answer any questions you have regarding the work and Ha Giang. The staff would greatly benefit from speaking English with you and will gladly teach you to speak Vietnamese. The owner is very welcoming and makes everyone feel like part of the family!
We host volunteer activities, such as evenings out, and occasionally a day out exploring hidden spots of Ha Giang that no tourists have yet found! There is always time to create connections in our Bông family, and we really value our family meals where we sit round and get to know each other’s story’s.
We offer a variety of meals, usually consisting of fried rice with meat and vegetarian options. We have family lunch (volunteers and staff) and family dinner (volunteers, staff) every day. This is always a fun time where we share food, stories, and good laughs. It is a great way to meet local people and fellow travellers. While we are happy to cook for you, we strongly encourage you to explore Ha Giang City and try the local cuisine! Occasionally we will invite you to go out with us to our favourite restaurants! -
