The tasks are simple, schedules and duties are respected. Mátala is a village with a hippie style, beautiful and very peaceful. I appreciate the opportunity and also the kindness of the host.

First of all pay attention to each position you are applying: Heraklion or Matala. Matala is a very small hippie village, good for people who want to get away from big cities, nature is stunning!! I spent the month of April there so the season was just beginning. It was super calm, not busy or crowded. There are just 2 small supermarkets and they are quite expensive, go prepared. Or go to Lidl in Moires. The shifts were easy and we had flexible schedules. Bedroom is good. Adam,the manager, is a nice guy, but we could notice he lacked some experience and leadership. Overall it was good.

My expirience at Matala Hostel was positive, I was there during the month of April, just before the season starts. The pre-season is really calm and there's not many people around, so is really good if you're more into a chill enviroment. Matala village is really nice but quite small, so have in mind that you will be far from big cities. Sometimes i felt there was a little bit of a lack of leadership and the activities that were organized for the guests were not really well planed and it kinda depends on the volunteers to make them happen even if you're off shift. If you go: go to red beach :)

My time in intramuros was incredible. I enjoyed every moment of it. Hektoras was the best host ever, very kind and friendly. The hostel was in great conditions, the work was fair and easy, because it was low season it wasn't that busy. It was also very well located and the city, Heraklion was beautiful. I absolutely recommend this experience, 100%.

Mon expérience dans l'auberge de jeunesse de Matala a été incroyable. Ayant la barrière de la langue, les deux premiers jours ont été compliqués, mais après cela, l'envie de rester ici pour toujours a pris le dessus. L'ambiance dans l'auberge est géniale, on s'y sent bien. On rencontre des personnes du quatre coins du monde. Cette expérience a été pleinement enrichissante et m'a donné l'envie de continuer ainsi. L'auberge de Matala a été ma première expérience en volontariat, et je n'aurais pas pu rêver mieux. Je recommanderai à quiconque d'y aller. Merci.

My experience in Matala Hostel and in the town in general was absolutely wonderful, the beaches, the trails, the sky, the people, the food, everything, absolutely everything was beautiful, this place has a gigantic energy, which made me learn a lot more in general. I am very sad to leave the hostel, I would stay and live here forever, I highly recommend it as a first experience, if what you want is to start to know the world.

Heraklio is a very nice town, with a lot of things to do. It's very easy to get around, as well as traveling around Crete. The work was very easy, and the shifts go by really fast. Ektor is very kind and understanding, Nia is amazing as well. The energy of the people, the place, the island is beautiful, it feels welcoming and I never felt like a foreigner.

I had an amazing time at the hostel and I would recommend it to everyone. The hostel is very nice and clean, it's chill and relaxing and guests are usually very sociable. I had also the opportunity to party a little bit. I think that's the best balance. There are very good vibes and I had time to explore the island too. The other volunteers were very kind and we had fun. The host Ekotras is very kind and calm and he makes you feel home. He is very helpful in any situation. The job is easy to learn, I liked it a lot ans shifts aren't tiring and Heraklion is a wonderful city!

My experience at Matala hostel couldn't be better! At first, it was a little bit confusing to understand some details about the work, but as soon as you get how the hostel works, it's easy and fair. Hours were always respected, manager was very flexible and easygoing as well. There are always other volunteers, which helps the experience to be even better. We also have discounts at the bar :) Totally recommend!
