My month atthe hostel was incredible. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. There's nothing like this place; waking up in the morning with the most beautiful beachfront view, getting to hang out with friends at the hosteland meeting a ton of travelers. I will definitely come back to visit. Thank you for everythingthe hostel!

Oía is an incredible place! Not only do you meet people from all over the world, but you also connect deeply with the locals and the culture. The only improvement point would be better system organization, as it often gets overbooked, and you might end up sleeping in the tent up top – which is also a super cool experience if you're open to different adventures. Either way, I loved my experience inthethethe hostel, especially getting close to the staff. Everyone treats you like family. Thank you for everything! I hope to come back one day.

Once of my best experiences! the hostelis located infront of the sea, so you get every day an amazing seaview. You also have your kitchen for cooking yourself and the food what you get is also so tasty. The working shifts are fine, I got support and other volunteers helps me aswell. And at least, you get so good connections with the locals so you will be a part of the family 🫶🏼

Volunteering at the hostelwas honestly one of the best experiences I've had! This place is a gem, right on the beach with insane sunsets every evening and a super chill vibe that makes it hard to leave. What made it even better was getting to know the locals—everyone's so welcoming, and you really feel like you're part of the community here. The work is easy, just six hours a day with simple tasks, so there's plenty of time to kick back and soak up the vibe. If you're looking for a spot where you can really connect with local culture and still have time to relax, the hostelis the place to be
