Descripción
I have exciting Hostel in the heart of Georgetown, Penang right now.
Our goal is to have a social hostel where people can meet, connect and make new friends.
I already have a lot of experience in the hospitality industry, but as I don't have enough capacity to do all the things myself, I need some helping hands to get everything ready and up and running smooth.
On a long term basis we would love to have several permanent staff to take over all the cleaning and maintenance, so the volunteers can contribute to create a great environment and exceptional services to guest at our hostel, but also we still need some help with all kinds of things here and there as well.

Surely one of the best workaways to do! The work is cool, the atmosphere is incredible and the place is really good. The staff and volunteers are a real family. I could only stay for a fortnight but if I could I would have stayed longer. If I'm ever in Malaysia again, I'll definitely be back! Take care guys ❤️❤️
