My experience at the hostel was great. The atmosphere with both the guests and the volunteers is good. I met wonderful people who made a difference during my stay at the hostel. The work is easy and the working hours are respected. There is plenty of time to explore the island. Thilanka and Hashan are very nice and helpful with everything you need.

I had an amazing month at the hostel. The light workload allowed me to explore Palermo and Sicily, meet people from all over, connect with locals, and build friendships. Whenever something didn't go as planned, there was someone around to help so I never felt alone. This experience gave me everything I hoped for in my first Worldpackers trip and helped me improve my problem-solving skills in a multicultural environment. What made it even better were the amazing volunteers I grew close to and the welcoming the hostel staff who made the hostel feel like home :)

I had an amazing time staying at the hostel and exploring the Palermo city itself. This was my first volunteering experience, so I feel truly greatful that it turned out to be this one. The housecleaning tasks are relatively easy and the working hours are respected, which left me with a lot of time for exploring and being in the city. The staff here are wonderful, extra thank you to Thailanka for making me and all the volunteers feel truly welcomed!

The experience was good. The managers are kind and the host was flexible with everything I needed. The staff room has four bunk beds for four people and air conditioning. They provide €20/week for food and hostel breakfast (you can buy the basic with that amount). Reception tasks are easier; cleaning (bathrooms, showers, kitchen, bins, common areas) is more tiring, but you get a small extra payment and can leave once you finish, so it depends on your speed. The hostel is very central, close to historical sites and nightlife, but beach is from 30/40 minutes away by bus.

I loved the experience! Working hours are respected and the tasks are easy. Massimo was very flexible with me regarding the schedule, which allowed me to attend my Italian classes and take a trip to a place that wasn't very close. Thilanka and Hashan were always kind and respectful! The facilities are comfortable. The internet always worked perfectly.

My experience at the hostel was great! I was lucky enough to get along very well with the other volunteers. I was able to improve my English and tour Palermo and even Sicily in one month. The staff is lovely, the hours are flexible, and the work at the bar and reception isn't complicated at all. I had this experience in winter, but I think it's even better in summer! I highly recommend it!

⁃Lots of free time, Massimo sticks to the 5 hours a day&5 days a week. Training is very minimal but help is there if you need it - Hashan, Thilanka, and Lucia are amazing! -Only €20/week for food, no laundry in building -Main issue: guests would not sort their trash properly so we had to pick things out of the bins and sort it ourselves (at least we had disposable gloves...) -Hostel itself is not very clean, comfortable, or safe. It had 2 burglaries during my stay due to guests leaving their balcony doors open. Apparently cameras are being installed but be aware Palermo is not very safe

It was a good experience. I stayed during winter so the hostel were almost empty, however all the volunteers were so kind and the owner was flexible with my needs. Take into account the season to choose the dates of your stay depending on what you want to achieve. I appreciatte that Massimo was able to negotiate and respect the hours assigned for the shifts.

My first volunteering experience was truly special. The work dynamic and the overall atmosphere were so enjoyable, and Hassan and Thilanka were incredibly supportive—they're truly wonderful people. There was a difficult situation during my stay, but I really appreciated how seriously they took it and how quickly they acted, which made me feel respected and cared for. On top of that, I was lucky to have such amazing fellow volunteers. They were so kind and supportive, and their friendship made my experience even more memorable. The tasks were simple, which gave me plenty of time to explore Pale
