As volunteer experiences go, you can't go wrong with RYH. Rethymno is a charming town with bus connections all over Crete. Tasks include cleaning, event planning, and social media. Everything is simple and shared among the team. Scheduling is last-minute and can change, but hours are respected. RYH itself is clean and comfortable. Volunteers share dorms with guests, which leads to some bed-switching during your stay, depending on occupancy and dorm dynamics. It's a very social place with endless opportunities to make connections. You'll make new friends every single day to enrich your stay!

Volunteering here was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed in a way I never had before, not just as a volunteer, but as a person. I've never been in a place where I felt so seen. A huge part of that was thanks to Tristan. I could talk to him about everything and he would truly listen. It created a safe, warm and open environment that made every day special. Book this volunteer experience if you want to have the best time of your life, while doing something meaningful with the best people.

This was a really nice experience! The work is easy and the working hours are good! You have plenty of time to do activities, explore the city or the island! The only thing that was tough on me was the heat! In July and August it's no joke with 40°C. It makes the afternoon shift more difficult. So take your time and drink a lot of water! After that, don't trust Google map for the buses, it barely show any buses and bugs. Listen to the locals! Other than that, no complaints!

My experience at this hostel was incredible. A huge thank you to Tristan, Nikos, and Joseph for their warm welcome and kindness. I 100% recommend this place: the staff is amazing, the hostel is perfectly located to easily explore the island, and the shifts are really easy. I'm leaving with amazing memories!

From the moment I arrived, I felt at home at the hostel. Tristan is a caring manager, and the way guests and volunteers are treated is warm and friendly. This makes the experience unique, with a great atmosphere, and meeting guests is easy : I've rented cars several times to explore Crete with them, even a boat. The work is simple, and you get time to discover the Greek way of life, with the beach just a 15-minute walk away. I highly recommend this experience and thank Tristan, Nikos, Joseph, and Ranya from the bottom of my heart for this incredible month ☀️
