The coordinators at Phu House Hostel have shared in our Facebook community a genuinely interesting work exchange opportunity in the Phú Quốc area of Vietnam. They are looking for high-energy volunteers to join their food and beverage (F&B) crew and kitchen team for the 2025 to 2026 season.
The latest call focuses on service and bar staff plus cooks, and it mentions a season running from Dec 2025 to Jun 2026. Always confirm exact start dates, minimum stay, and weekly schedule before you commit.
This is a hostel hospitality placement on Phú Quốc island, focused on food service, bar support, and cooking. The host mentions free accommodation and meals in exchange for supporting guest experiences. To apply, email the hostel with your role preference, availability, and a short introduction.
The project
Phu House Hostel describes itself as a social place where travellers come together for food, drinks, and community. The roles are guest-facing and suit volunteers who enjoy teamwork, fast-paced service, and communicating confidently with people from different countries.
Phú Quốc is Vietnam’s largest island, known for beaches, warm weather, and a strong tourism season. Volunteering here is likely to feel social and lively, especially during peak months.
Roles mentioned by the host
Service and bar team (food and beverage, F&B): serving meals and drinks, helping promote specials, and supporting smooth, high-energy service.
Cooks: supporting food preparation. The host specifically mentions Middle Eastern, Mexican, or Greek cuisine as a plus.
What the host provides
The host states that volunteers receive free accommodation and meals, hands-on hospitality experience, and the chance to meet travellers from around the world.
Timeframe
The host post mentions Dec 2025 to Jun 2026. Since needs can change during the season, confirm which months are still open when you email.
What to confirm before you commit
Before booking travel, ask for weekly hours, shift times, and days off. Also confirm the minimum stay, what “meals included” means on non-working days, and the accommodation setup (dorm or private, on-site or off-site). Because this is hospitality work, it is also reasonable to ask how volunteers work alongside paid staff and who supervises shifts.
If “promoting specials” includes sales targets, ask what training is provided and what the expectations look like day to day.
How to apply

Include: the role you want, your availability, and a short introduction about your skills and personality.
