Mi experiencia en el hostel del hostel fue hermosa! Incluso aunque al principio tuvimos que hacer tareas que no eran las acordadas porque no había huéspedes, fue un placer para mi haber ayudado 😊 Se armó un grupo super lindo de voluntarios, cocinábamos, íbamos a la playa, paseábamos. gracias el hostel y graziella por haberme recibido! Me encantó Sicilia

Recomiendo el hostal encarecidamente para ir como huésped. Sin embargo, yo no me sentí comoda trabajando ahí. Los jefes no se preocupan absolutamente nada por ti(te alojan en el peor cuarto,no tienes ni espacio para poner tu ropa y son muy bordes y maleducados a la hora de decirte las cosas, se nota mucho que únicamente les importa el dinero y no tu bienestar). Tienen cámaras en todos los sitios del hostal excepto en las habitaciones por lo que no tienes ninguna privacidad, las cuales controlan en todo momento. Se notaba mucho la diferencia de trato si eras un voluntario chico o chica.

Hello Sonia,
I always make sure to provide volunteers everything they need in order to make the volunteering experience pleasant and useful for both parts and, actually, I think I did that with you as well.
You were hosted, with only another volunteer, in a four bed dorm which had a bathroom, a fan and also a wardrobe where you could put your clothes. If you thought that you did not have enough space where to put them you could've just told me about this problem and I would've tried my best to solve it. For the cameras, I honestly don't get your complaint. I've installed them to create a 24 hours security environment in the hostel, so that both the guests and the volunteers can feel safe. Moreover, I think that I have the right to use them in order to check that everything works at the hostel, since I can't stay there 24/7. I absolutely don't make any difference between female and male volunteers: when a volunteer sells an excursion, the agency I work with gives me the possibility of a free tour and I think it's fair to give this possibility to the volunteer who has sold the excursion. I gave the possibility to the other volunteer (a guy) because he had sold many excursions while you didn't sell any.
Anyways, I hope your next experience will be more pleasant.

My experience in the hostel was amazing, I chose this hostel because of the location close to the beach and it was the best decision, only 10 minutes walking. The job was very easy, just staying in the reception and helping the guests so I could practice my English every day. Graziella and the hostel were the best hosts, always nice, willing to help with a smile and very flexible if I needed something. I would recommend this place 100%, I didn't wanted to leave but hopefully I'll be back someday. Thank you!

I had a great experience at the hostel! The only downside was I was the only volunteer there for a month, luckily I had some friends in town, but during off season there typically isn't any other volunteers. I learned a lot of sicilian culture and the hostel and Graziella did everything they could to make sure I had what I needed. Getting around to Taormina and Catania is a simple bus ride away that picks up right in front of the Hostel! I would definitely recommend this project to anyone who wants to learn more about Sicilian culture and see incredible views of the Etna!

I had a wonderful time in the hostel, both the hostel and Graziela are amazing and kind people. The best part of the experience was being able to meet people from all over the world, we had such an amazing environment between guests and volunteers, and we did everything together. I would like to thank Graziela and the hostel for having me and I'm definitely coming back to visit the hostel and the city!

Best summer ever! You meet the most fun coworkers and guests at this job! The location is amazing, Giardini Naxos is a small beach town, but you can take a short bus to Taormina if you want a bigger city. The staff room had air conditioning which was amazing! The hours are good and I had enough time to take an online course for my university while I was there. There is a lot to do around Sicily on your day off, or if you have a morning or night shift, too. Overall this was an amazing experience I will never forget, grazie mille the hostel and Graziella! I miss it already

I spent a wonderful 2 months at the hostel. It was my first Worldpackers job and I really enjoyed it. the hostel and Graziella were very helpful and kind to both the staff and the guests. I was also able to try out many of the programs. I met a lot of local people and every day at the hostel I got to meet new people and party with people from all over the world. The work itself was easy to learn and simple, and I got to go to a lot of places on the island. I can only recommend it!!!

I had an amazing stay at the hostel. It's the perfect place to meet people from all over the world and make real friends. I have wonderful memories of this August in Sicily. The work was easy to understand and accomplish. We had plenty of free time to explore Sicily, an island that has so much to show and offer. the hostel et Graziella are incredibly kind, and I thank them for everything. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to go on excursions, party in Taormina, and enjoy the slow life in Giardini Naxos every day.

I had a great time at the hostel! The work is easy and Graziella and the hostel make you feel very welcome. You have enough time to explore the area as well as some nearby cities. I met a lot of fun and interesting people from all over and three was always someone to spend time with. The other volunteers were great.
