This was easily the best first volunteer opportunity i could've had, immediately when i arrived i felt welcome and at home and that feeling only grew over my month at urbanpop. the work was not overly difficult nor was it ever any more/longer than described. salvo and reza were the most amazing hosts and always made us feel happy and comfortable in the hostel. i would recommend this experience to anyone

The weeks I spent at UrbanPop Hostel were amazing! The work wasn't difficult since it was just housekeeping and being in the front desk. The schedule was flexible and the hours were as agreed. Salvo and Reza are super nice and welcoming, I met some great people during my time there and had the chance to travel around Sicily. It was my first volunteering experience and I'm really grateful for it!

I had a really nice time at the hostel. It was my first volunteering experience and I really enjoyed it ! I met so many people and was able to travel to a lot of places in Sicilia. And Salvo is such a good person. The hours were as agreed but when there were less volunteers the work was a little bit more difficult.

The month I spent at UrbanPop Hostel was very special for me. The work was not very difficult, cleaning 6 days out of 7 and then 3 days we also had the reception shift. Salvo and Reza were very nice, understanding and flexible with the schedule. I got to travel around Sicily, I met interesting people at the hostel and I feel like I've really grown as a person during my stay here. I am really grateful for this experience!

I had an amazing experience :) salvo and reza were very welcoming and helpful from start to finish and the hostel has a friendly atmosphere. it's possible to travel around sicily from catania and explore more places. the hours are as agreed and the work is not difficult, only basic cleaning and reception. i had so much fun in staying here for over a month and it was very sad for me having to leave. i'm really grateful and i highly recommend it <3

I really enjoyed my time at UrbanPop and I'd definitely recommend it! To be honest the city of Catania isn't that satisfying, and there's not that much to do, but besides this fact the hostel is great! Very well-organised & great for meeting new people! I want to thank Salvo & Reza, who do their best to make the place feel like home! I had a great time with Reza, even when we forgot playing Billiards together. :( I totally recommend UrbanPop & had a great time there!

Salvo, the owner, is just great. He will make you discover the local culture, make you feel at home and even make you discover Etna ! All in all, this hostel is ver just wonderful, everyone knows each other, clients or volunteers ! I recommend it to anyone who wants to meet people from all around the world while living abroad !

I loved it! From the day I arrived, they were so friendly and welcoming. The most thing I enjoyed was meeting and exchanging experiences with new people in the hostel. I would love to do it again someday :)

I volunteered for about one month and had a great time. Salvo and Reza are very caring and helpful and I felt comfortable at the hostel. I met people from all over the world, tried local food and was able to travel a bit! The tasks are not too hard, you get easily used to it but I would have wished it was one more day off in the week. Still I can really recommend this experience!
