One of the most intense and meaningful experiences of my life. I was able to learn a lot by living with new people and seeing new places. The work is not demanding, the hostel structure is great and the permanent employees are wonderful. A special hug to Maria and Antonio, people who bring the hostel to life and made my experience incredible and full of memories. Thank you, the hostel Colective Hostel!

I loved this experience!! We all cooked a lot together learned about local holidays and went to all the beaches around. The work wasn't too hard or challenging and the team feeling was very strong. We really felt like a small family.

What first impresses about the hostel is the building in which the hostel is located: even if a bit far from the center is made with local white stones and super spacious rooms. The volunteer room is super comfortable and the team is super clear about the tasks to be done. I recommend that future travelers come between June and August where more young travelers arrive so they don't get bored and can socialise and that they consider that most of the best beaches in Puglia are only accessible by car. Thanks Alessio for the good leadership and Antonio for being the soul of the place.

I had a great time at the hostel! This was my first volunteering experience and I stayed for 1 month. The work is easy and you have a lot of free time to explore Puglia. The hostel is very modern and clean with lots of space to chill out. It's also a great way to learn some Italian, Spanish or English. Alessio, Antonio, and Maria are so welcoming and you really become a little family with the other volunteers. I would definitely recommend to stay during the summer months if you can. Overall it was a great experience and I can't wait to visit again in the future!

The weeks I spent on the hostel were essential to feel the taste of life in the south of Italy. The staff and the other volunteers build a real family, where everyone helps each other and you can really feel how collaborative a team can be. The tasks are pretty easy and, depending on the shift, fast to be finished. One of the highlights of the experience is Antonio, the supervisor! Always lovely with every single person, he tought me a lot about speaking Italian and the fantastic food he used to prepare everyday. I'm grateful for all I learned and the moments that we shared!

Volunteering at the hostel was a crazy experience, the people are really family and you will definitely eat pasta and drink wine every day. The hostel is really far from the beaches and access becomes a little difficult after the summer, but there is always someone to take the trains with you. Guests come from all over the world, which is great for practicing other languages, they are also very lively and the parties help us get to know each other better. I'm going to miss the hostel.

My experience in Italy was one of the most incredible I've ever had. Alessio is an incredible host, he always listened to us and helped a lot. The people who live there are very welcoming and the volunteers who were with me were absolutely incredible. The work was peaceful and every night we got together to eat together and with the guests too. We called ourselves Hotel California and everyone who arrived was warmly welcomed as part of a family. I recommend this hostel a thousand times to volunteer and I will definitely return to Lecce to visit everyone and the hostel.

This was my first volunteering experience and it was amazing. The hostel is really nice and has a nice atmosphere and the staff and Alessio are such nice people. They definitely all make you feel welcome and they are always willing to help if needed. The work was very simple and easy to learn and I had a lot of free time to go visit all the lovely places in Puglia.
