Volunteer as a Cleaner at a Hostel in Matala, Crete

Italy

My experience at the hostel was perfect. The hostel is clean and really nice. My working hours were always respected and I had enough free time to visit the island. The job wasn't too demanding - reception tasks only, mainly check-ins - and Ektoras was always available. It's a quiet hostel, with not many guests, but I never got bored in that international and friendly environment. Ektoras and his brothers have another hostel in Matala, so I recommend you to get in touch with them before you arrive to make sure that you will stay where you've originally applied for (Heraklion or Matala).

My experience in Matala Hostel was the best! The work schedule is good and the tasks aren't too difficult, it was mostly helping with cleaning, a bit of reception and night shifts. The location and the hostel itself is great, we even stayed a bit longer than planned. It's also a great place to meet new people. I would definitely recommend this to everyone and I hope I'll be back someday! An also, Apollo is the best boss❤️

My time at the hostel was just amazing. I had such a good time that I extended my stay for a month. Hector makes you feel at home the second you arrive, he's kind, pedagog when it comes to explain you the job and very understanding. The tasks are easy to handle and the hours were respected, so I had time to visit Crete during my time off. Heraklion is central in Crete and it's easy to move around the island with the bus. Moreover the atmosphere with the other volunteer was excellent. the hostel feels like a home away from home!

I had a really good experience volunteering in Matala Hostel. It has really good facilities: the kitchen is really good, also the dormitories and the common rooms. There is a nice atmosphere, the work is not really hard and the staff is helpful. Moreover, it's easy to move around the place because the bus station is just in front of the hostel. I would recommend the experience a lot!

My experience at Matala hostel was wonderful! The owners and staff are so welcoming and friendly. The hours were flexible and I had enough time to explore all of Matala, the nearby beaches, and even explore a few other cities during my time off. The tasks were simple and reasonable, they mostly needed help with cleaning/housekeeping which was just changing bed sheets. Highly recommend this experience :)

I have stayed for 5 weeks in the hostel. The manager is extremely nice and understanding. I worked 5 days per week, and had 2 days off, so I was able to visit all of the island, which is extremely beautiful The job is really not that hard, and when you have a question the manager will gladly help you. The main job is to welcome the new customers show them their room and the facilities, and keep the hostel clean. The customers I met were all very friendly and open-minded. It is extremely easy to make new friends I don't regret doing my first experience as a worldpacker in the hostel !
