Super good vibes at the hostel ! I unfortunately had to leave earlier than expected for work. Ellom, the manager, is a truly beautiful soul and makes you feel at home instantly. Tasks are exactly as described, nothing difficult, the schedules are fairly distributed amongst us. Right in the city center, very close to the train station & everything you might need to explore the city during your free time. The only thing you should have in mind is that the hostel is not brand new, some things could be improved and the equipments are what they are, but if you're ready for the ride, you'll have fun!

Thanks for your feedback, now the hostel is back new, we spent 1 month to re-styling the hostel, buy new fridge, fix all the problems, a new bar and new colours, you can visit it on www.balarmhostel.it

My experiencie at the hostel was great, I had such a good time and I made a lot of friends! Although the hostel has some things that have to be fixed (like the electricity, which also affects the running of the water sometimes), the work is pretty chill and you have a lot of free time to travel around. Anyways, it was a good experience and I felt like at home, the other volunteers became my family. So, if you are expecting a 5 stars hotel, I don't think this is for you, otherwise, go for it!

It was a good experience, the work was easy and there was enough time left to see palermo. A lot of things didn't work properly (wifi, electricity, ac, water) and the guests were complaining daily. The staff room is small and also dirty but the other volunteers were nice and you get to know lots of people from all over the world. Despite some problems with the infrastructure, the overall experience was great and I would recommend it.

We had a good time working in the hostel, since the tasks are pretty easy and the shifts not too long. polina and massimo are both really nice people and were always contactable. however, lots of stuff in the hostel wasn't working properly. there were complaints by the guests almost daily about the ac, the wifi, the electricity and other things not working and we were often told to just turn it off and back on, which didn't solve the original problem. if you're able to handle situations like these well, the hostel's a great choice to get to know palermo and gain some work experience.

My experience in the hostel was great, I met many people from other places and cultures, it helped me a lot to socialize. Polina is the best, always positive and helps with any questions you have. I recommend it for first volunteer experience.

I had a really great time at the hostel! Polina is super welcoming and the people at the hostel were awesome. It is in the middle of the City and close to the beach and train station which is really convenient. Overall I would reccomend this experience, thanks Polina for a great time :)

My first experience as a volunteer and it was a nice one. I learned a lot while working in this hostel. The work is easy but if you have any doubts Polina is always there to help you. The hostel is in a perfect location, so you can walk almost everywhere and have fun on the entertaining streets of Palermo. Nice people and experiences. Piacere Polina

I loved it here! The work was minimal and independent and I met so many people from around the world. There's a great social atmosphere at the hostel, a lot of it facilitated by the staff. Perfect location, the facilities could use an update but nothing too bad. Polina is a great manager. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a laidback but lively time. Feel free to message with questions!

I had a fantastic time at the hostel, the manager Polina was so nice and welcoming. The hostel itself is in a perfect location in Palermo, 2 minutes from the central station and 5 minutes from the chaotic nightlife. The duties were split between reception and cleaning, and there were enough volunteers there to allow flexibility with the shifts. Overall the work was not too demanding and Polina was always available to answer any questions when needed. The highlight for me was the other volunteers at the hostel, it was a great atmosphere and I'd absolutely recommend it.
