I stayed at the hostel for 1 1/2 months and it was one of the best decisions I ever made! I instantly became friends with the other volunteers and can now say that they are probably friends for life. The work in the hostel isn't that hard either and when you make a mistake, nobody holds it against you but instead show you how to do it correctly, so the work atmosphere is really chill. I also really recommend this experience if you are a person who likes to go out, since the city truely comes to life at night! But even if not, this will be an amazing experience 10000%

I absolutely loved my time at UrbanPop! Salvo is absolutely wonderful and everything was just as I expected. This opportunity does require a decent amount of work, but I found it to be fair and it was very clear from the start exactly what I should expect. The hostel is clean, in a great location close to beaches and fun nightlife, and felt safe. Guests are generally older, but that was not a problem for me since I was working with other volunteers my age. Thank you so much Salvo and Reza for a great experience- I'll be back soon! :)

Volunteering at UrbanPop Hostel was such an unforgettable experience! The hosts were genuine, nice and fun people who made sure my stay was enjoyable from the start. The workload is more than reasonable and well communicated beforehand. The atmosphere is super chill and open, and I got to meet people from all over the world. Catania is perfect for exploring the vibrant local culture and other parts of Sicily too. I'm super grateful for this experience and will leave UrbanPop with the most amazing memories and new friendships!<3

I had the best time ever at the hostel!! I met a lot of people from different countries, got to know the culture and made the best memories ever. I truly recommend coming to this place. The owner, Salvo and the manager, Reza were the best hosts I could've imagined. The working hours were fair and everything worked out as explained. The volunteers are being respected, the hostel is lovely and the guests were respectful as well. This, as my first volunteer experience, was the best experience I could've wished for. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity of this experience!!!
