About the experience in: Thessaloniki, Greece
Czech Republic
Best thing about this hostel are volunteers and guests. It is easy to meet someone and have fun. In winter the heating is on only from 9am to 11am and 6p to 10pm in volunteers room, so you sleep in very cold environment. Owner is nice, but pays some volunteers 100€ a month, others get nothing, and there is zero communication from him, so you don't know why he decided like he decided. This can sometimes create weird atmosphere amongst volunteers. I wouldn't stay in the hostel again. On other hand Thessaloniki is one of the best cities to stay and live in, full of cafes, bars, clubs and culture.

Im glad you enjoyed your stay.
It is true about the heating on the ground floors,but everything will be different since the 2nd February cause we install heat pumps.
There is communication,also before arrival, also during the stay.
Each volunteer from each program is different.Everything is arranged and agreed by both side before the exchange.There are no surprises.
There are volunteers who return after some months and there are volunteers who joined for 2 months but ended up staying 6.
