I would absolutely recommend this other travellers! The hostel is clean and cozy, the tasks are easy, the workload is not too heavy and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The volunteer's room could use a bit of improvement like a better ventilation system especially in the summer. Nonetheless it's a great place to meet lots of cool people and make new friends and I am super grateful for this experience :)

This was my first Worldpackers experience and it could not be better! The hostel is amazing along with the staff. The work is easy and chill and the hours were flexible. I met with many other travellers and locals as well. The hostel is clean and has a nice terrace and a huge kitchen. I highly recommend this experience and Crete stays in my heart forever! Thank you for everything <3

Best place for volunteering, thank you so much for such an amazing experience. Yorgos and Ioannis are the kindest people, they were really flexible with my shifts. The work was very chill and easy, I enjoyed every part of it. The hostel itself is the best hostel I've ever seen: spotless clean and comfortable showers, perfectly equipped kitchen, the rooftop was my favourite place. I shared a room with the other volunteer, just the 2 of us, which was perfect. We had a fan and enough place for our stuff. This was my first volunteering and i couldn't have imagined better. <3

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!
