The plan was to stay for a month and I ended up staying a whole year, and I guess this already says a lot. I got a family and a home at the hostel and I'll miss it with all my heart. Highly recommend it :)

The hosts, the staff, the other volunteers etc. were so amazing, so nice and so welcoming! I felt so welcomed since the very start. I had the best time ever and will definitely be coming back ! Grazie mille per tutto !! :))

I loved my time at LOL hostel! The work was easy, everything as agreed upon and the city of Siracusa is a beautiful place to explore during your time off :) I felt really welcome at the hostel (Thank you Chris, Massimo and Marina) and the other volunteers were amazing too! I was also very happy i could improve my Italian during my stay (even if everyone speaks English too of course) and I hope to come back one day :)

I had a wonderful time at LOL hostel. The work was very easy, although I was here during the off-season so maybe during summer months it would be a bit busier! The workload chill and the hours were exactly as agreed. The accomodation although basic was perfect for me, and had eveything I needed. Chris and Massimo were so kind and helpful the whole time! They were very warm and welcoming and I felt I could have gone to them with any problems. The city of Siracusa is beautiful and if you like to swim I think you will like it here. I am so grateful for my experience here, and hope to be back <3
