Bullet points -loved the people I met and the location. -accommodation was lackluster it took my entire stay for them to fix one of the bathrooms. - communication between staff in charge of volunteers and the owner is not always clear -I tried to give two weeks notice that I wanted to leave early and was told I was childish and irresponsible for doing so -the person in charge of the volunteers will act really nice to you at times but then try and gaslight you if you do anything he doesn't like. -you are encouraged to heavily drink here but will be yelled at if you are too drunk

Hi Hannah,

Thank you for your feedback. I must say I’m surprised by some of your comments, especially since none of these issues were mentioned during our pre-departure meeting. When you decided to leave on a couple of days’ notice because you met someone here, your fellow volunteers stepped up to cover your shifts, ensuring the whole family here could accommodate your sudden change in plans.

Addressing your points, the delay in fixing the bathroom is on us, and we’re working to improve our maintenance response times. Communication can always be better, and we’re making changes to ensure clearer and more effective interactions between staff and management.

Regarding your early departure, it did put us in a challenging position as our operations rely on the commitments of our volunteers. While we understand personal reasons can change plans, the unexpected nature of your departure significantly impacted our scheduling and planning.

As for the drinking culture, we are a party hostel, but we don’t encourage heavy drinking. We aim to create a balanced environment where everyone can enjoy themselves responsibly. Your feedback will help us ensure our policies are communicated more clearly.

It seems the social dynamics and unique environment of a party hostel were challenging for you. While we value the contributions you made, it appears the social skills required for this setting were not an ideal match.

We appreciate everything you brought to our team and understand that sometimes, despite best intentions, the fit isn’t perfect. We wish you the best in your future endeavors and hope you find an opportunity that aligns better with your expectations.

I had a great time when i stayed in march 2024. Although i think the work might be more intense in summer, I really enjoyed my time at the home. Magda assigns tasks on a day to day basis, everything was pretty clear. Team dorm was basic but did the job, corfu is stunningly beautiful especially where the resort is located in agios gordios and there are loads of cool places in the village that are open between April and September so expect it to be sleepy if you're travelling outside of high season.

I had great time in the home but only because of people who I met there. I was working for more hours than I should and doing quite hard gardening job. What is more, days off system was unclear as well, sometimes after hour of work Magda told us that this is our day off because of bad weather. Magda's behavior was also unpredictable. Sometimes she was really nice and sweet but sometimes she was screaming and being quite rude. Communication was on quite low level as well. But on the other side, we could take part in ATV and kayak tours and people that I met there was supportive and caring

I had an amazing time at the home, I met so many people during my stay and the location for me was perfect. Communication and consistency wasn't really there from the host which made it difficult sometimes but those your surrounded by made the time:) just set your boundaries and you'll enjoy your stay

George and his family were nice people but The experience wasn't as it is advertised . I was sad about leaving the experience, but I had to. Not good communication from the hots side, no schedule and not much effort for us. Only promising things and adventures what never happened. No heating in the rooms as well, was cold during the night (it might be a Mediterranean thing) I was cold. I was hoping for a really good time but the work was hard and longer hours. Maybe it's just a wrong time when me and my friend went. During the summer could be different, but our work was not as advertised.

Amazing Experience. Thank you to everyone at the home. Unfortunately our stay did not go to plan in the sense of sickness, we both got sick so had to stay in our room. However, food was brought to us multiple times a day, doctors appointments arranged for us. And when we had to leave due to a family emergency back home, there was no hesitation to help by offering us travel to the ferry port, ordered us food so we didn't go hungry on the way. All in all , a brilliant experience and we will 100% be returning. Thank you all
