I really enjoyed volunteering at the hostel, the other volunteers and staff were amazing and there was lots of free time to explore Corfu and the other islands. I would definitely go back!!

My stay in the hostel was very nice. All the workers and the staff were amazing and all the time someone was around to hang out. The work was very nice and I had a lot of free time to be at the beach. I would highly recommend to stay in this Place.

My Experience at the hostel was great. The people there, staff and other volunteers, were super amazing. The work can be challenging sometimes but you get good food and amazing Adventures in return. I hope to get back in summer. The location is also incredible, the sea right outside with beautiful nature. I would recommend!

Magda and the team at the home are considerate, kind and very welcoming. This has been a fantastic volunteering experience while teaching yoga and I would definitely return :)

Unfortunately, I only had a few days at the home as I needed a medicinal cream that cost 76 euros a week, so I returned to Bulgaria where I saved about 400 euros. the home is beautiful with fantastic views. The food was great and I just did gardening work in my short time there but plan to return this summer. One thing though is the village is totally shut down for the winter until tourists return in the spring.

My experience at the hostel will defiantly be one I remember for the rest of my life, I had an amazing time as a volunteer! Work hours were very manageable and I still had plenty of free time to enjoy the activities offered at the hostel or bond with volunteers/guests and travel around with them Transparently the communication could been better and the staff housing needs updates. The weekly work schedules are thorough but more of the day to day or last minute request could have been communicated better and to all. The overall trade is worth it and I 100% recommend this experience!

I had a great time at the hostel! The hours were respected, the job is easy and you'll get much free time. I met many people, connected with locals, and explored Agios Gordis and Corfu town. You get lots of benefits. You're going to share the accommodation with other volunteers. I highly recommend this place!

Overall thoughts: - Corfu island is beautiful! - I made friends for life who I already miss - Decent amenities: food, activities and shuttle bus all free - awful organisation - You have to be sociable or usually are sent to do cleaning/ restaurant - “Party promoting”, includes cleaning up at 4 in the morning, AFTER heaving drinking - Misogyny here is rife. You will be felt up, said sexual comments to, etc, which will be passed off as “the hostel” culture -Almost every female volunteer I met here felt uncomfortable during their stay, as a result of both the guests and volunteer management.

Hello Catherine,

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your stay. We are glad to hear you appreciated the beauty of Corfu Island, enjoyed our amenities, and made lasting friendships.

However, we must address the concerns you raised and provide some context. Our organization is committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and enjoyable environment for all volunteers and guests. This commitment includes setting clear expectations regarding behavior and responsibilities.

During your stay, we observed significant issues related to alcohol consumption that impacted not only your experience but also the overall environment. There were multiple instances where your heavy drinking led to problematic situations, including times when you had to be carried home. This behavior is not acceptable, both for your own health and safety and for maintaining a positive and productive environment for all volunteers.

We made several efforts to help you adjust, including assigning tasks that we believed would be more suitable for you. Unfortunately, these efforts were met with continued challenges. It is crucial for volunteers to be responsible and engage positively with the community, and there was a clear mismatch between your behavior and our expectations.

The majority of our volunteers have positive experiences here, as reflected in numerous reviews. They appreciate the well-organized activities, supportive environment, and the sense of community we strive to create. It is essential for all volunteers to adhere to our standards to ensure a beneficial and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

We take your feedback seriously and will continue to work on improving our practices. We hope you can understand the importance of these standards and take this as a learning experience.

Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.

It was very nice! The place was amazing, the view was absolutely stunning. I had so much fun, either by myself or with other volunteers, there were plenty of things to do so we were never bored. I made a lot of new friends and all the people were very nice. However, the accommodation was not nice, mainly the bathroom, there was only one bathroom for 15 people and it was nasty. Also, there was no AC so it was really hot in our room. The shifts were fine, no hard work. And we had two days off per week, perfect for trips and discovering the island. I enjoyed my time here very much.
