Amazing experience with the opportunity to live in a wonderful place. The staff members are very welcoming and friendly, especially Pervina, Francesco, Grazia and Connie. Also the volunteers were so lovely and friendly. I had very beautiful moments there. Definitely recommended!

I had a great time at the hostel! The staff was flexible and understanding, and I got to practice my Spanish a lot. The weekly schedule includes shifts for cleaning the bathrooms and kitchen, and in the afternoons and evenings, it's mainly reception and serving drinks. The city is lovely, and I highly recommend this experience. Thanks to Francesco, Pervina, Connie, Facu, and Egle for the warm welcome! 🌟

Taormina Homstel is a lovely place! It's safe, clean and has a beautiful view! The staff's are really kind and I already miss them so much! The work is chill and you have the chance to meet people all around the world! Taormina is a beautiful city with nice beaches, you have plenty of time to enjoy around too

Spending time in beautiful Taormina and surroundings make this experience worth it. My experience at Homstel was good overall. Task are simple and there is some flexibility with the schedule. All members of the staff are very nice, welcoming and fun to work with. Don't expect to stay in the hostel as your accommodation. You might end up in the other building where there are more dorms and where some members of the staff live, or you might end up sharing a studio apartment with other volunteers, which it has it's pros and cons. I recommend this experience for sure.
