Very grateful with Irini and all the staff, we were comfortable with our task and support that they gave us during all the volunteer. We had enough and awesome time to share with the others volunteers and rest in our days off, the working hours always were respected. The hotel is beautiful, spotless, with amazing views and close to the beach 🥰. The experience was fantastic, really kind people and I recommend to everyone!

Aphrodite Gardens is such a beautiful place, near to various beaches, not too far away from the city center and with a lot of hike options around. The food was deliciously prepared by the host and the accommodation was very cozy. The restaurant can be busy at times, so it's a place you can get a lot of experience from. The hosts are flexible and once you get to know them, it feels like home away from home. I thank all the volunteers and the team for the time and laughs shared. I wish everyone all the best and hope to see you guys very soon. XOXO

I had a really nice experience at Aphrodites the hotel. The accommodation is wonderful, a very nice place with lots of good food and fun. I felt very welcome and cared for. Himara is so beautiful, with beaches and mountains that you will have lots of time to explore. The hours are always respected and the work is never too hard. I would recommend having previous restaurant experience, because the serving shifts can get a little intense. But as long as you can handle that, you will have the best time!! Thank you for everything 💓💓

I stayed here for the whole month of October. Even though Himarë is beautiful and the other volunteers were wonderful, I personally felt uncomfortable throughout my stay. The work environment often felt heavy and unpredictable, and certain behaviors and comments created a sense of unease that made it difficult for me to feel safe or relaxed. There were many moments where the atmosphere became stressful, and I constantly felt on edge rather than welcomed or supported. Because of this, my experience ended up being overwhelmingly negative, and I would not choose to repeat it.

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and I loved it! I met amazing people, explored beautiful Himare and got to spend many days at the beach. The work was nice and I learned a lot. The rooms were great and the food was delicious. Communication before the trip as well as the attitude in the kitchen could be better and improved. Overall I had a great experience in Himare and I am very thankful for it.

The place has a lot of potential, sadly the host Spyros made my experience really uncomfortable. He made a lot of inappropriate comments and jokes about women and has a tendency to get angry and scold the volunteers. It didn't feel like a collaborative experience, but more like working a full-time job in a somewhat toxic work environment. I'm grateful for meeting some really sweet people in the volunteer team, and for the learning experience in mixology, but wouldn't go again.

Philia . you were a very good bartender and you did a great work behind the bar , but it's unfortunate to see only this side of your experience written . what you didn't mention is that several volunteers you shared a room with complained about inappropriate behavior with you and yosua while in the room. you also came to volunteer at the bar of the restaurant with a tank top and unshaved armpits something that is not appropriate for a hospitality setting.

I really enjoyed my time at the hotel&the hotel! The work was not as hard as I expected and really fun! The staff was very nice, although I felt incredibly objectified by the host Spyros while I was there. The tone and a lot of comments made to myself and a lot of the girls in my stay, I would consider harassment. I also felt like sometimes the work schedule could be better organised. The location is also not ideal, as its a bit far from the city center and the beach. I also think a common area for volunteers would be very welcome. But the food was always great and I had a great time in Himare!!

My experience at the hotel and the hotel was nice! The restaurant is beautiful, food is amazing and staff is nice to work with. The work environment during the high season is super busy but fun and the tasks are easy to learn. They provide 3 nice meals per day and accommodation is good and comfortable. On the other hand, I missed a common area where volunteers could relax and spend time together and the location can also be challenging, as the restaurant is located on top of the hill and it's quite far from everything. Overall the experience was positive, I learned a lot and met nice people ☺️

My time at the hotel was an amazing first WorldPackers experience. Everyone made me feel so welcomed in Himara! 3 delicious home cooked meals each day & comfortable accommodation was definitely a highlight. I would definitely recommend having hospitality/restaurant experience otherwise this role may be a bit more difficult. Communication beforehand could be improved but other than that I really loved my time spent in Himara <3 to Spyros, Valentina, Francesca, Ireni & the kitchen staff - best of luck & thank you for everything 💖

I really loved my time at the hotel's, it was my first volunteer experience and I think it was a nice balance of work, relaxation and fun. I predominantly worked bartending shifts, which were straightforward and very enjoyable. The food was an absolute highlight, soooo delicious with a great variety everyday. While the overall communication and organisation could definitely be improved, we were all very well looked after and I am so so grateful for my time spent here and the people I got to meet!
