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!!

I had the best time at the hostel and I would totally recommend it to everyone! 🫶🏻 The work is super easy and doesn't really feel like work. There is a lot of time to explore the hostel and surroundings and have great conversations with people from all over the world. Angelika is the best, I felt very welcomed and very well taken care of! Would love to come back, thanks for the great time. :)

I had a really nice time volunteering here! Angelika is really sweet and welcoming and always attentive to anything you may need. I went during off season so the few tasks were very easy but my favorite part was getting to know all of the guests and meeting so many interesting different people. I would recommend volunteering here and getting to know the beautiful town of Chania.

Angelika is great, and everything is as the description says. She took us on lots of tours - one thing that I didn't know though was that I still needed to pay to go on the tours (half price), but in order to get the “free tours”, I would have had to lead them myself, which could have counted as shift time. I wish I knew this because there were a few times I was out with a bunch of people on a “tour” and ended up rushing back for my shift. The hours are respected, and Angelika let me leave early a few times! I can't wait to go back. Pls feel free to msg with questions!

My experience was amazing. Angelika is a great person. I felt welcomed and appreciated. The work is really easy - I needed to be at the hostel from 5pm until 10pm, to check guests in, respond to their questions, talk to them, create good atmosphere, turn the AC on, make sure the common areas are clean. Since it's a small hostel, usually there were just a few check ins and I spent most of the time socializing with guests, it mostly didn't feel like work. I didn't get any free tours or events, but I got groceries for breakfast, support from Angelika and Eleni, and memories. 100% worth it!

I had a great experience volunteering in the hostel. Angelika is very enthousiastic, supportive and flexible. The hostel is located right in the old town of Chania, so everything is in walking distance. Angelika regularely took me and other guests on a day trip and showed us the most beautiful places in Crete. The tasks were fun to do and not so hard. From April on, the season is starting, so it was not to crowded and busy yet, but that was perfect. I met a lot of people from all over the world and made great memories with them. I will definitely comeback :)

This was my first Worldpackers exchange an incredible experience. The hostel location couldn't be better and Angelika was so lovely. I could go to her if I needed anything and she was really flexible and supportive. the whole experience was very relaxed as I visited in low season but there were still people around and things to do if you look for it
