I had a really great time at the hostel!! Pavlos and Yorgos looked after me so well and made me feel so welcome! The shifts were flexible if you want time to explore Crete and the work is easy. Crete is stunning and being in Heraklion makes it easy to see the whole island!! We also became friendly with locals having been there a month. Would absolutely recommend :)) Sometimes guests get you to sort things if you're not working, but that's the same anywhere if you live where you work. It's a family business so it's really fun getting involved in helping them out!

This was my first Worldpackers experience and it by far exceeded my expectations of volunteering abroad. Tasks were basic hospitality chores. Greeting people, checkin people in and keeping the place clean and tidy. I got to meet lots of other travellers so the fun never ended! I'm super grateful for this experience and recommend it to anyone who is looking to take the leap abroad! Thanks Yorgos for everything !!

I had an amazing time working here with Yorgos, Pavlos and the other volunteers! They were so relaxed and easy, letting us fit our shifts around any excursions or trips around Crete that we wanted to do. The work was not difficult, and the people are so friendly that I don't think there's anyway you could have a bad time here! Thank you so much to the whole the hostel team for making me feel so welcome and sharing all your tips on enjoying Crete!

I enjoyed my time on Crete! Hours and job tasks discussed and schedule is made each week with the host, everyone at hostel was very kind and helpful. I worked closer to the end of the season, so was not super busy. Plenty of free time to explore Heraklion and other parts of the island. Thank you for everything!! Efkaristo🙏🏼
