I had such a wonderful experience during my time here! Gyoko is an incredible person and made sure everything was exactly as agreed. The workplace is very pleasant, the city is amazing, and the tasks are easy and well organized. I'm really happy with the time I spent here — it was truly special. Thank you so much, I absolutely recommend this place to any volunteer!

Gyoko is the man so nice and welcoming. Hours are super chill and not too much work mostly making the beds, cleaning the kitchen and checking people in and out. Can't recommend this place enough

I had the best time volunteering at the hostel! Gyoko is such a fun and kind guy. He was always recommending things to do and gave me time off to do the things I wanted. The tasks were simple and Gyoko was super chill. There is such a social and friendly vibe at the hostel and I met so many cool people. I would highly recommend this experience!

If your looking for the best volunteer experience in the Balkans, look no further. Had an amazing time volunteering at the hostel. The vibes are amazing at the hostel with the host Gyoko and the guests. The town of Ohrid is small but charming, definitely a must visit. Your job will consist of helping with cleaning (making beds, cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming) as well as working reception (checking in/out guests, assigning rooms, keeping the vibes high). Gyoko is relaxed and flexible as long as you are respectful and understanding. Number One Rule is Have Fun!

It was a pleasure to have Aliya at the hostel. She was very sociable, proactive and organized. Aliya completed all her tasks in the hostel and even went above and beyond to plan social events for the hostel and assist in managing the hostel social media accounts. She is a great asset to any team!
