I can't even describe with words how amazing this experience was. I will miss Angelika, Eleni, and of course Chania, so much! I definitely recommend this opportunity — it was my first time doing something like this and honestly, I loved it. I felt at home, met so many people from around the world, and was never lonely. I went on amazing tours for free, and the work is super chill. There are lots of beaches nearby and many beautiful places to visit. Angelika is super flexible, caring, and lovely. If you have the opportunity to do this, don't hesitate, go!

I had a great experience volunteering at the hostel! I worked 5-10pm everyday and got 1 day off a week! Angelika was a great host and provided ingredients that I needed for breakfast + a bit more :) I got to go on a free tour on one of my days off which was a great experience! Angelika and Eleni treat you like family and I enjoyed chatting to and getting to know both of them!

Angelika, Eleni, and Chrisandy, all I can say is THANK YOU! You truly spoiled me during this experience and made me feel so loved and welcomed! This experience never felt like work, it felt like helping out family. I "worked" from 5–9 each evening, checking in and chatting with guests, helping Angelika with some design work and promoting the tours,which were incredible! We went to some of the big touristy beaches, but Angelika also took me to a quieter beach with her daughter just for a fun day out. She never felt like a boss or a host! I even stayed after my shifts just to chat with her!

I have no words to describe this experience! It was absolutely amazing, I fell in love with the culture, the people and the vibes. The tasks were very easy and schedules respected, talking and meeting people was always fun and never felt like work! Aggeliki, her family and Eleni became my family there, always considerate and caring! I had the best time in Chania, thanks to Aggeliki, her passion for her job and patience I got to visit Crete and to really enjoy Greek culture! It was definitely an unforgettable experience!!
