My experience at backpackershostel was great. Kosta's and his sons are very kind and caring people. They made sure I had a good time there. The work itself was also exactly as agreed upon and easy to handle. I would love to come back

I had a really great time at the hostel in Ioannina. The tasks wear clear and fair devided. Kostas is very flexible when it comes to your days off, so i was able to go on two amazing daytrips with some guests from the hostel. In generel there was a very family-like atmosphere because the hostel is rather small and you get to know everyone. A great bonus was also the terrace where we often sat together for hours. Ioannina is small but super nice, authentic, peaceful and has also a great nightlife. I would recommend the experience to everyone to see a different kind of Greece.

Such a great experience! I really felt at home in the hostel during the month I stayed there. The work is relatively easy, with cleaning from 11:30-13 and reception from 13-16:30 or 16:30-20. During the reception hours you can also read or watch a movie, as long as you keep an ear on the bell, so the time goes by pretty quickly. The town is really lovely as well, with a lot of bars and good secondhand stores. I can truly recommend volunteering here! A big thank you to Kostas and his family, as well as to Ornella and Melanie, for making my time in Ioannina unforgettable.

This was my first volunteering opportunity and it was perfect from start to finish. It's a small hostel with 18 beds so you get to know the guests very well and it's got a very community feel. Kostas the owner was more than welcoming to both the volunteers and guests and lets you help yourself to groceries and his own cooking which was really helpful. The work is relatively easy with 1.5 hours of bed changing and cleaning from 11.30 and then you and the other volunteer work from 1-4.30 or 4.30-8 (you decide between yourselves who does what time). You also get one day off a week.
