I had a really good time at the hostel. The hours were as discussed and the tasks were easy. Personally was Catania not the best city for me because there was not a lot going on but i met the most kindest people in the Hostel which made my first volunteering experience amazing!! I totally recommend it!! Thank you for everything :)

I was able to improve my Italian skills and for that I consider my time here well worth it. The host himself was welcoming but there were a few details off regarding the team dynamic that weren't properly addressed and that made my stay difficult this time around. I would consider that communication needs to be worked on, there were plenty of situations when issues with other volunteers could have been addressed soon but instead situations escalated bc of this lack of responsibility from leadership. Apart from that the volunteer experience was fun and the tasks and hours were as agreed.

The hostel located in a busy city of Catania, is a place where travellers find themselves like at home. The vibe, the atmosphere and the friendliness of the place and its people make the hostel one of the best ones I've been too. Work is simple and not overwhelming. Everyone knows what their responsibilities are and schedules are flexible. Perfect for the ones who want to explore the island more. I recommend this place cause it really gives an experience of being part of an intercultural family, which hangs out together and eats delicious Italian food.

Alicja stayed with us for one month and she brought all the joy to the hostel with her energy and smile. She was a professional about her tasks, easy going in her interactions with the guests and other volunteers, chatty as someone knows what she is talking about, and a responsible person. I hoped a volunteer like her has stayed more so it was hard to say goodbye but the door of urbanpop is always open for her.

Salvo and the team were amazing, they made my experience worthwhile and the tasks were as expected. This place will truly feel like family if you stay long enough. Additionally, Salvo is extremely knowledgeable about the area and will give you any tips you need to explore. The tasks included cleaning, laundry, interacting with guests, working the reception and doing check ins.

It was a wonderful experience, I stayed 25 days. The hostel has a lot of volunteers and everything is organized between us. Salvo he is always around, he is very communicative and likes to talk and help with whatever he can. The job consists of tidying the rooms after check out and sometimes we work in the afternoon or we can have the afternoon free. I highly recommend the place! Salvo it was a pleasure, I hope to come back one day!

A wonderful experience! salvo is hard to find people like you, I am so happy that I met you, you are awesome, thanks for everything! well, the hostel is perfect ,the owner Salvo will become into a friend of you. About the work, we clean a lot, don't worry Salvo is also cleaning with you and the other volunteers, those are the first 3 hours of your schedule, and then you have other shift from 3 hours in the reception or organizing the Breakfast. One of the most important things is to be talking to the guests, helping them and having fun with them. Go to Urbanpop and have fun!

Mi experiencia en el hostel fue excelente! El trabajo es claro y fácil de llevar a cabo, cumpliendo siempre con lo acordado previamente. Fue mi primer voluntariado y no podría estar más feliz :)) reza y salvo están abiertos a escuchar a los voluntarios y me hicieron sentir muy cómoda. Voy a extrañar mucho al hostel y a los otros voluntarios que hicieron la experiencia aún mejor. Recomendadisimo!

Acabo de irme y ya quiero volver. Ha sido una experiencia que nunca olvidaré, desde el primer día me sentí como en casa. Salvo y Reza son los mejores jefes que se puede tener, los voluntarios se convirtieron en mis amigos desde que llegué, los huéspedes muy fáciles de tratar y Catania y su tiempo son maravillosos. Lo recomendaría 100%. Millones de gracias :)
