My stay at the hostel Collectiv Hostel was a great experience. It was my first volunteer experience and also my first solo trip, so everything was very exciting and new for me. Maria and Alessio are very welcoming people and make you feel comfortable in the hostel. There were only a few guests in the hostel, so the atmosphere was very relaxed, which I found very pleasant. Lecce has a beautiful old town and the good train connections make it easy to visit other cities. I would definitely recommend a stay at the hostel!

My time at the hostel was really made by the other volunteers and I enjoyed my time there a lot. The location of the city made it easy to visit the all the neighbouring towns and it was only a 20 min walk to the center of Lecce! The work was simple and I had a lot of free time. The only issue that I had was a general lack of communication from the hosts that caused problems with, for example, what was expected of us within each shift.

My stay at the hostel was an amazing time - it was incredible to meet the other volunteers and explore the neighbouring beaches and towns. The work was simple and left plenty of time for day trips. Lecce is a beautiful town and I definitely recommend visiting this spot. Despite this, I felt that on a couple of occasion, communication issues could have been resolved better and that at times, management could have been more welcoming.

I really enjoyed my time at the hostel! For most because I got to meet a lot of interesting people and had the best time with the other volunteers! The tasks were easy and not very time consuming. However there were some instances of miscommunication which were handled poorly.

My stay at the hostel was my first worldpackers experience and I would definitely do it again! As I was there in November/December, so during off-season and the chill vibe was exactly what I was looking for at the time. I could make amazing friendships with the other volunteers. Alessio & Maria are very welcoming and warm. I felt comfortable at any time! Lecce is a beautiful city I can only recommend! It is also a great startingpoint for trips all over Puglia. I can really recommend this stay and hope to come back myself!

I had such an amazing time at the hostel! The tasks were simple and scheduling was very fair. I created amazing friendships with all the volunteers and had the opportunity to meet interesting travellers from all over the world. Lecce is such a beautiful city and there are many great places to visit in Puglia. Maria and Alessio are both incredible people and I will miss them, the hostel and volunteers so very much! I highly recommend volunteering at this wonderful hostel! 😍

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I would definitely recommend to anyone who reads this to apply for this position. I really appreciate the trust in Alessio and Maria to got me here withouth experience in housekeeping/hostel work. The tasks were easy, the team was the best, the free time was enough to get to know Lecce and rest of Puglia (and even though I came here in autumn, it's a great place to visit off season, almost always sunny). Hope to be another time in this part of the map to visit you both :)

My first volunteer experience, and I'll definitely come back to visit! My tasks were easy, and depending on the day, quick to finish, so I had the rest of the day free. The hostel has good facilities, and the hosts were always very flexible and helpful. Lecce is a great base to explore the amazing cities and beaches of Puglia, all so beautiful. I met incredible volunteers and guests that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life. Highly recommend! Obrigado!

Had an absolute blast at the hostel! The hours were reasonable and the work was simple, but engaging. The hostel was super clean, well organised, and big. The hosts were so kind and friendly, we had many fun nights together with the other volunteers. I definitely made life long friendships with the other volunteers. Lecce was a lovely town and getting to the other surrounding towns took no longer than 2 hours by train or car. By far the best volunteer experience I've had, I have no criticisms. I will come back and visit for sure!!

A special thanks to Maria and Alessio, i'm super grateful !
