This was such a great experience and I only regret not planning on staying longer! Polina the host is so lovely and looks after all her volunteers. She is very relaxed and flexible with shifts so you can do trips all over the island. The hostel is nice and well located. Palermo itself is very diverse so you get to meet lots of guests from all over the world. I totally recommend this to anyone who loves travel and meeting interesting people!

Overall, I absolutely loved the hostel! The volunteers were amazing, Polina was so nice and flexible and very responsive! I had so much fun hanging out at the hostel, seeing Palermo, and even doing the actual work! The work was also very easy and simple. About the hostel, I will say that the oven didn't work, neither did the laundry. There was no breakfast. Instead we were give money to get breakfast and do laundry. But that wasn't too bad. I would definitely love to come back again!!!<3 If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!!!

My experience in Barlam Hostel was really great! mainly because of the people I came across and the atmosphere, both the other volunteers and the guests were always great people! The owner and the manager Polina are very open and communicative people. The tasks are not difficult but they must be done well to maintain the hostel as it should be. It is true that the facilities are a bit old, but the kitchen is great & you have such a good time that is all you will remember. Palermo is awesome! its people, the food, beaches, I will definitely go back! Thanks to all the divine people I met!

I had a lot of fun working here. The other volunteers were very welcoming and there are always new guests to interact with. The hostel has a very laid-back environment and the work was easy. One to two hours of cleaning and then reception. The location is fantastic. Three blocks from the train station and one block in either direction to a bus stop. There is a Lidl on the next block also. The only thing that was not as expected was the washing machine was broken. But there are launderers nearby if you prefer. I chose however to just wash my clothes in the sink. It was not too bad.

Was definitly a really good experience. The others volunteers and Michelle was like a family for me. The Hostel is really cozy and the work is easy. You will have time to walk around the city and go to others cities too. The location is really good because you can discover ed the city walking. I'm glad had took this opportunity because I will never forgotten

I would like my experience! Firstly... If you don't like work, do not apply! It's a great hostel, the Michelle coordinator it's good people. I almost did not have to buy much for lunch and dinner.Because there were many things for eat there! Per second You need work depends on the day making breakfast and afther clean the beds and bathroom Stay at the reception Making check in and check out Show for guests the hostel! It's a perfect hostel if you like job! Forget what the people talk about hostel, probably they do not like to work! It's easy work, and you learned a lot of engl
