About the experience in: Heraklion, Greece
Australia
Yorgos was the most welcoming and friendly host. The work and hours were totally fair. In Greek fashion he made sure we were comfortable and took great care in his job of manager and host. The only thing I would fault is that there was only a small window in the staff bedroom. Overall I had a fantastic experience with Yorgos and the other volunteers and cherish the time I had there.

I had an amazing and unforgettable time at the hostel. The environment is clean and feels like a second home. Yorgos is an amazing host, he is kind, understanding and flexible. He was always available whenever I needed help and worked with me to figure things out. The work schedule was as described and flexible and it gave me plenty of time to explore around the city and even do weekend trips during my days off. I would absolutely recommend this experience!

So Young Hostel was a second home for me, I loved my experience and I can only recommend that you go for it! Yorgos is very kind and always attentive, always with good advice, and you make wonderful encounters at the hostel. You also have two days off per week to visit the island, which I highly recommend :)
A big thank you! <3

Such a wonderful host! Extremely respectful, down-to-earth, flexible, and easy to communicate with. It was so much fun working here, and the hostel is a lovely, peaceful oasis right in the middle of the city!! <3 <3 <3

I had a fantastic time at the hostel. The work was easy, and the hours respected. I had plenty of time to see Crete. The hostel is clean and comfortable, with a fantastic rooftop to relax on. It is not a party hostel and is perfect if you are wanting a quiet place to relax and spend a month near the beach.
It was my first world packers experience and I loved that they trusted us enough that we could be self-sufficient. We were effectively taught how to run the hostel ourselves and I really loved having that responsibility. Thank you Yorgos! Would absolutely volunteer here again.
