I had a great experience volunteering here. The other volunteers became my family and it was really nice to get to know Puglia! I was on the breakfast shift which was great because I had the rest of the day to go to the nearby beaches. Sometimes you will be working alone when the other volunteer has a day off which can be a bit overwhelming if there are a lot of guests and the hours felt unfair compared to the cleaning shift as they only worked 2 hours while I worked 4. Also, the center of Lecce is about a 30 minute walk and there are no bikes to use despite them advertising it.

Thankyou so much to Alessio and Maria. My time at the hostel was just as relaxing and restorative as I hoped it would be. I was in the housekeeping team and the work and hours were very achievable. Each day I had most of the afternoon to myself to explore Lecce and surrounding Puglia. The only drawbacks that were notable was the power disparity between the volunteers and Alessio. Quite often guests would ask for my assistance and unfortunately I wasn't given the tools to satisfy their requests. More than once I ran into small issues with Alessio over his mantra of “rules don't need reasons”.

I had a great stay at the hostel. The work is manageable and the hours are fair. One thing to keep in mind is that the city center is a good 25-minute walk away. The hostel description on Worldpackers says that they provide bikes, but unfortunately, that wasn't possible during my stay. What's great about this experience is that there are four volunteers, which gives it a family feel. There are many beautiful places in the area and stunning beaches.

Highly recommend this volunteer! The whole month was awesome. You get a lot of free time to visit any place you want. The schedule is always respected, and they are very open to flexibility. The hostel is perfect, with great chill areas and a super well equipped kitchen. Forever grateful to Maria and Alessio, always nice and friendly, making sure you're okay. Maria is a beautiful friend that I really hope to meet again in the future. Thank you so much, Lecce will forever be in my heart <3

The work was very relaxed and I had a great time! I did the breakfast shift and it was good. This hostel will fit you if you are looking for somewhere to relax and unwind for a while. There are lots of beautiful places about one hour bus away from the city, and lecce is a lovely town:)

The hosts were kind, fair with the hours and the work. Alessio was always leading the group and attentive to our needs; however, he did feel a bit more distant. In María's case, I think communication wasn't ideal, and she didn't quite know how to convey trust or effective leadership with the volunteers.

I had an amazing time volunteering at the hostel!!! Maria and Alessio were very kind and welcoming, and they explained the tasks well. This was my first volunteering experience, and I'm so glad I was able to do it here!! The work was easy and gave me plenty of time for day trips, walks through the old town, and trips to the nearby beaches after work or on my days off. It's a pretty quiet area and is perfect for a more chill and laidback experience. Lecce is a beautiful place, and I would absolutely visit again!!

I had an amazing stay at the hostel! It's well-equipped with everything you might need, and the warm, friendly atmosphere made it even better. Alessio and Maria were incredibly kind and made me feel right at home. Lecce is also a vibrant and beautiful city, and had tons of welcoming locals. The other volunteers were also fantastic, adding to the overall experience. I highly recommend the hostel and would love to return someday!
