I had a really nice time in Ioannina. The work was light and flexible. Kostas, the other volunteers, the nice guests and of course Babis the cat made me feel at home for three weeks that unfortunately went by way too fast. I already miss being there but I know that I'll definitely come back one day. Ευχαριστώ για όλα.

My stay in Ioannina was so much fun! The hostel had a great vibe and everyone there was so cool. The work was chill and there's a lot to do like walk around and shop and also nearby places to go to on your days off.

Staying in Ioannina was a great experience. After the cleaning from 11:30 to 1pm, you have a three and a half hour reception shift. The cleaning is quickly done and is done everyday, so the work isn't too exhausting, the reception hours can get quite boring if no guests arrive, but you are allowed to read or watch something during so it's fine. The people at the hostel were very nice and Kostas was a great and friendly host. :)

I had a lovely time volunteering in Ioannina for three weeks. Kostas was a great host, he always respected working hours and the work itself was really light. He also provided groceries for the volunteers and sometimes even cooked whole meals. As it was low season, I was staying in a regular dorm which was super nice. It was a lot of fun hanging out with the other volunteers, the guests, and cat Babis! I was also able to explore Meteora and Vikos Gorge. I wish all the best to Kostas and his family:)

I had the best time in Ioannina! Kostas is a wonderful host and was very reasonable about working hours as well as cooking delicious meals and recommending things to do in the area. The hostel is so well located and a really great place to meet people. Definitely try and go to the Vikos gorge on your day off! I would really recommend volunteering here.

The hostel is a really nice place to meet other travellers and the atmosphere is always social and homely. Kostas is a good host, communication went well with him and all tasks are explained in detail. The workload is quiet easy, there is one housekeeping shift in the morning and another at reception either directly after until 4.30 or starting from there until 8. Since it is a small hostel, reception can be a little slow, but you can do whatever as long as you have an ear on the doorbell. Food is provided, which was great! Overall a good experience.

Ioannina is gorgeous and the hostel is nice and homey, with a special mention needed for the rooftop garden. Hours were doable, especially when you have a great co-volunteer like I did (shoutout to Charlotte!!!). I do think Kostas was somewhat cold in the beginning, but that changed over time, like other reviews mentioned too. There is a bit of a language barrier and micromanaging going on at times, but nothing that can't be overcome. His son Vasilis is also very friendly and fun. Altogether the experience was great, and again, I absolutely loved the city!

This was a great experience. Ioaninna is a beautiful old town. I went during the hottest part of the year, which made some of the chores feel a lot more difficult than they would during the rest of the year probably. Kostas is a good man, and I felt very safe and comfortable at the hostel. Communication of how he wanted specific work done was sometimes hard due to language barriers and a bit of frustration. Overall, it was good though and we stuck to the proper amount of hours and days off were flexible, allowing me to go to both Vikos and Meteora, which i highly recommend if you have time
