One of the best places to volunteer! The tasks are simple, mostly cleaning, organizing, and a bit of reception during the night shift (which is great if you want to practice your English). The hostel is an amazing place to meet people from all over the world, both guests and staff, and to exchange experiences. Kyleakin is a small and remote village, but you still get to live so many incredible moments. The island itself is absolutely beautiful, with lots of amazing spots to explore. I'll miss this place and hope to come back someday. Thank you, the hostel, for the experience. 💛

I spent about three weeks at the hostel and had a great experience. The island is beautiful and peaceful, with amazing views. The work is simple , making beds, cleaning bathrooms and common areas and you get clear instructions from the staff. The team environment is relaxed and friendly. I met great people, had fun, and got to explore the island on my days off. Definitely worth it!

The hostel was the PERFECT first experience to have on Worldpackers. The staff was like family, the guests were chatty & kind, and the volunteer work was simple and communicated effectively. I would 10/10 volunteer here again. the hostel has set my bar high for any future volunteer opportunities.

My experience in the hostel was amazing! The landscape is really beautiful, the hostel is a bit far away from the touristic spots, but it's possible to take a bus or to do hitchhike for everywhere (which was a good opportunity to meet local people), also the view from the hostel is incredible, in front of the sea and mountains and the backyard is also special. The hostel is very cozy and the best part for me was the volunteer team, we became a family ❤ I wish the best for all of you, thank you very much family the hostel 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This was my first worldpackers experience and it has been so good! the hostel is an amazing place, with stunning views, it's a bit difficult to get around without a car (few buses) but most volunteers just hitchhike and there are beautiful places even nearby. I mean, even the walk to the supermarket is spectacular! The working times were always respected and the job was easy (cleaning kitchen and toilets, hoovering, making beds, laundry). But the very best thing was the lovely atmosphere with the team! Come here if you want to connect with nature and meet wonderful people from all over the world 🌟
