The work and hours were ok. Other than if you had a cleaning shift then the afternoon reception shift, that ment you were working almost all day. I would recommend to know a bit of Italian or Spanish, it would be very beneficial with the guests and in Sicily. I loved Catania, the people here are very friendly and nice.

We explained everything before confirming anything, the hours were explained in details and there was no surprises, as other volunteers have mentioned in their reviews the agreed hours are always respected and the job is laid out very clearly before your arrival, the full job description (including hours, number of shifts, type of the job and even house rules) is the first thing you receive from us after applying.

This was my second volunteering in a hostel. Since the beginning Reza and Salvo were very welcoming and helpful and it stayed liked that throughout the whole volunteering. Personally I'd say this experience is ok, they're very transparent about the work which is kinda hard specially during the summer with the high temperatures. The bed was uncomfortable, the supermarkets are a 20min walk away and the beaches are a 30-50 min walk away. However on your days off it's easy to take a bus and visit other cities in Sicily. I had some fun and meet amazing volunteers and that's what matters :)

We also encourage any potential future volunteer to contact previous volunteers (period of April, March and May) to contact the volunteers who stayed with us during Cormac's stay :)

I'm thankful for the experience at the hostel. The tasks (and the amount of work) are detailed communicated before your stay, so you know exactly what to expect, which is very helpful so there are no negative surprises (you have to take it seriously, it is a lot of work, but the working hours are completely respected!) The staff is helpful and welcoming. If you have the opportunity to visit the farm- it's the best!! Perfect escape from the daily life and a one-in-a-lifetime experience. Heaven on earth. Additionally, the location of the hostel is quite central!! You can da lot of day trips:)

For my first experience on worldpackers it was fine, just a few things were off. Salvo and Reza were funny, welcoming, helpful, patient and nice. Unfortunately we had some drama in the group that altered my perception during my stay which didn't fully have to do with the hosts but a little and made me feel uncomfortable. In general I think the work is a lot, although it was communicated and there were incidents in which I was left alone didn't feel prepared for some tasks. Overall I still am grateful for the opportunity I was given, the people I met, places I've seen and things I learned.

Dear Antonia
Everything is agreed upon before your arrival, first through the comprehensive detailed description of the job you receive (about working hours, types of tasks and the workload) also again explained by Reza during the call before confirming everything! We clearly mention that this volunteering position is demanding but it's absolutely fair, as other volunteers have mentioned in their reviews, working hours are respected, the amount of work is not a surprise.

It was my first volunteering experience and it couldn't be better! The whole stuff was very welcoming and easy to talk to. Salvo and Reza made it unforgettable. With other volunteers we created our own little community. Tasks were the same as discussed beforehand. I hope to come back here someday!

I spent 7 weeks in UrbanPop and the worst part is that I had to leave. The hostel itself is beautiful and very clean, living conditions for volunteers are also very nice. The work is fair, easy and most of the time really chill. But what makes this experience so amazing and unique is the people who create this place. Salvo and Reza are truly the best hosts! Always there to chat with you, funny, but also really caring about the volunteers and keen on helping you if you ever have a problem. I can recommend this experience with all my heart.

My experience at the hostel was incredible, much better than I could have imagined! The entire team, managers, employees and volunteers were always very friendly and welcoming, they made me feel at home. The work is well organized, which allows you to have time to explore the city and the island. Reza and Salvo were perfect hosts, I just have to thank you, for always being attentive and trying to help. I highly recommend this experience. Thanks for everything!

The hostel was truly an incredible experience! Salvo and Reza make the stay memorable and are dedicated to making sure you have the greatest time possible. The tasks and hours are clearly laid out, Reza has high expectations of the completed work but it reflects in how clean and organized the hostel is. You have plenty of free time to walk around the city, go to the beach, or even travel to other cities. Thank you Salvo and Reza for the unforgettable time! :))
