I applied under cat-sitting listing during low season (owner and manager are away). Before confirmation, host did inform me of extra things required to do that is not originally mentioned in the listing like check-in of guests. Most of the housekeeping duties were done by a cleaner who came weekly and I was then asked to fill in a little bit in between, which wasn't too much work. So although there were some extra stuff outside the original agreement, they were reasonable. Cats are well-behaved and easy to manage, I will definitely miss them!

My time at the hostel was super nice, you get to meet a lot of international travelers, pretty nice and chill atmosphere, game nights, delicious food, from difrent parts of the world. I can say that sometimes it can get a bit exhausting, but overall a really good experience

Truly awful experience, after my plane ticket was booked a couple days early by accident after I extended they decided to take away my day off and give me more hours to work after I decided to leave they charged me almost 200$ for beer,transportation, and bedding. because of the workload they expect 2 volunteers left early in my stay and I left as well. These people do not respect you and will even have you leave phony reviews on their hostel to boost their rating, even after all this I wished him the best and responded by cursing at me and threatening me. STAY CLEAR OF THIS HOSTEL

Dear Connor you confirmed your stay till the 10 of the of October and you signed an official paper contract with written your few tasks that you needed to do to pay off all your expenses such as BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER, TOURS WHICH YOU PARTECIPATE, PUB CRAWLS AND A BED IN A DORM THAT COST TO US . If your ticket was booked with a mistake you needed to inform us before and not leave us like this .
Our training of formation as part of the hostel as a cost of hours to us and if you were not interested you had time to say that you didn't like it and leave the hostel but instead you sign a contract and in this case your bed night left will be charged fully with all the alchool that you decided to drink nd don't pay off .
Escaping obviously done demage to us since we needeed to pay hourly someone else to cover the hours you needeed to do to pay your bed and expences.
The 2 volunteers left early didn't sign any contract and explained properly why they were leaving and we had in mind already to don't let them stay longer then that .

The worst think for you to do was to leave without notice and leave a mess in the room .

We treat all people the same here and give all meals and bed for a value of 100 gel a day and be treat like a member of our family is not been treat bad .

Hope all the other worldpackers host will be aware that the only thing that you do well is watching cartoons on the Sofa and oversleep from the first day and drink alchool in excess and escape like a criminal without paying .
