I’m glad this was my first volunteer experience because it was amazing. Other volunteers were the BEST and the host was really generous and funny. The work was just like described and there was still plenty of free time.

I had a great time at the hostel, the place is so charming. The work was generally relaxed, but it could sometimes get a bit demanding. Still, the tasks were simple and Costa was always available to explain things and help us whenever we needed it. Both Costa and the rest of the staff made me feel very welcome and comfortable, so I would repeat the experience without hesitation.

Our experience with Germán was marvelous.He is very social and polite.Always willing to help with any kind of task.He helped us a lot with reception and general maintenance.He is doing great in bar assistance as well.The most important is that Germán is a good teamplayer.We had very good communication.He is totally recommended.

Best thing about this hostel are volunteers and guests. It is easy to meet someone and have fun. In winter the heating is on only from 9am to 11am and 6p to 10pm in volunteers room, so you sleep in very cold environment. Owner is nice, but pays some volunteers 100€ a month, others get nothing, and there is zero communication from him, so you don't know why he decided like he decided. This can sometimes create weird atmosphere amongst volunteers. I wouldn't stay in the hostel again. On other hand Thessaloniki is one of the best cities to stay and live in, full of cafes, bars, clubs and culture.

Im glad you enjoyed your stay.
It is true about the heating on the ground floors,but everything will be different since the 2nd February cause we install heat pumps.
There is communication,also before arrival, also during the stay.
Each volunteer from each program is different.Everything is arranged and agreed by both side before the exchange.There are no surprises.
There are volunteers who return after some months and there are volunteers who joined for 2 months but ended up staying 6.

My stay at the hostel was my first volunteer experience and I would definitely recommend it! The tasks were simple, we had a weekly shiftplan and the team was amazing. Since I was here in winter, the activity in the hostel was mostly slow, barely visitors but more time to grow together with the team. Thessaloniki itself is a cool city, good nightlife and an open-minded community :) Thank you for having me!!✨️

The hostel Is a little cosy hostel where you have the chance to meet many backpackers from all around the world. Thessaloniki is a beautiful and welcoming city, really rich of history and I wish to have the opportunity to come back in the future. About the experience overall, it was one of the best that I had. I want to say thanks to Kosta for the great time and for all the knowledges about Thessaloniki and the Greek culture that made my travel there richer. I wish you the best and I hope to see you again in the future!

The experience was good, the hostel has a good atmosphere and the team worked well together. However, I would recommend staying for longer than a month because then you'll also be given a small monthly payment (I stayed for exactly a month and wasn't given anything). Also, the evening/night shift usually overruns.

It was an amazing experience, the hostel was great and a perfect opportunity to meet people, connecting with travelers and others volunteers, I had a great time over there, the location is 15/20 min walking from the city center and there is always something to do and beautiful beaches around you just need to take the bus. Kosta is a great guy, he isn't all time at the hostel but you have other volunteers and the staffs, the ones I a get a connection and made me feel home. I really recommend this opportunity and totally would come back!!!

I really enjoyed my stay at the hostel! The other volunteers were absolutely wonderful and the people who stayed there were all lovely. The tasks were simple and easy to manage. Thessaloniki is a calm city with lots of coffee shops and bars ( but no clubs). The only thing I had notes on was the food. It was bread, slices of cheese, and slices of meat- nothing else. It often left the me and the other volunteers feeling more hungry after eating because it was so un-filling. It left us feeling a bit food insecure. Over all I loved my time there and will hold it in good memories.

Hostel the hostel is a beautiful hostel. Unfortunately their was a lockdown when I came so I had to go back home. But even in the lockdown there was enough to do but not for a month. I wish Kosta the best and again thanks for the stay!

My experience at Studio Youth Hostel was really great! I immediately felt welcomed and integrated into the team. Costas is very understanding and easily reachable. The tasks are clear and are as previously agreed. The tasks are not too demanding either. I recommend this volunteering!
