Neil and Gül are super lovely and I had a great time staying in Thessaloniki. The work is flexible and you meet a lot of different people from all over the world. The hostel is really big and has a lot of space. The hostel dog, Katja, made the experience for me even better. I would recommend!

Neil, Gulnur, and Jade were amazing hosts in every sense. They were welcoming and communicative from my first day at the hostel. The position mostly involves simple reception work and some occasional helping out with cleaning. The accommodations are in the shared dorms but were spacious and comfortable. I met some amazing fellow volunteers at the hostel and dozens of awesome guests. The hostel itself is located in the central part of the city close to bars/restaurants/cafes/shops so everything is close by. 10/10 would recommend the hostel!

My experience at the hostel was amazing. It's in the heart of a funky student city in Greece, and has a very unique and comfortable environment. Gulner, Neil and Jade (the hostel owners and their daughter) were a family to remember. They brought me comfort, made me feel safe and gave me great experiences in and outside of the hostel. Couldn't recommend volunteering here more. Thank you for having me and creating a memorable experience ❤️

My stay at the hostel was genuinely amazing!. Thessaloniki is a great city with lots of great restaurants, vintage stores and nice people. The hosts are really flexible and reliable people, who really prioritize that their volunteers have a great time and get to experience the great city and surrounding area. The work is fairly easy(check ins and outs and reception work ) and the hours are chill as well. The hosts are very welcoming and social, and make sure that you feel at home. The hostel is nice, clean and has a very cozy atmosphere. Amazing stay! Would highly recommend it!!:)
