My stay at the hostel was great! Hiro is super chill and fun, he considers our health and capability when making the scheduling and asks us if there is a specific day off that we would like; I've been here 2 months and I've never had a problem with not being able to take the days off that I requested. The work is "easy", just the usual: making beds, cleaning rooms, checking in guests and so on. Once you've done it a couple of times it's quick work. The shifts are just 4 hrs and if you finish fast you can take some breaks here and there or at the end, Hiro will definitely say the same.

I had a great time at the hostel/Nakamura. Hiro and Mayumi are fantastic hosts who always respect the volunteers' schedules. Everyone I met, from other volunteers to guests, was nice and respectful. The work is split into two roles: housekeeping, which is straightforward, and assisting English teachers in a Japanese kindergarten, which was my main job. The latter is more challenging but very rewarding; you learn a lot from both the teachers and the kids. There are still some scheduling improvements needed, but I'm sure it will be in future. Overall, I highly recommend this experience!

I had a wonderful experience at Yume Nomad Hostal(: Hiro is very organized with the tasks you have to do and the amount of working hours and free days is fair. The hostel is very cozy and the people who work in the Cafe are lovely. Kobe is such a nice and underrated city where you have a lot to do and meet some locals. Also, you meet people from all over the world at the hostel and you can bond with them very easily. I always will be thankful for this experience and the kindness, respect and good vibes of the host. I strongly recommend this experience!!! (:

Muy recomendable, disfruté de mi estancia en el hostel. Las instalaciones son muy cómodas, tienes diferentes lugares donde poder descansar, leer un libro o trabajar, ademas la cocina esta bien equipada. Los dueños y los trabajadores son muy simpáticos, amables, comunicativos y divertidos, te hacen sentir uno más de la familia. Las tareas son sencillas y las explicaciones muy claras. El lugar es mas o menos céntrico, es un buen punto para visitar las atracciones de la ciudad, e incluso haber excursiones a otras ciudades cercanas. Todos los viajeros que llegan intentan quedarse mas!
