I loved the experience! Working hours are respected and the tasks are easy. Massimo was very flexible with me regarding the schedule, which allowed me to attend my Italian classes and take a trip to a place that wasn't very close. Thilanka and Hashan were always kind and respectful! The facilities are comfortable. The internet always worked perfectly.

My experience at the hostel was great! I was lucky enough to get along very well with the other volunteers. I was able to improve my English and tour Palermo and even Sicily in one month. The staff is lovely, the hours are flexible, and the work at the bar and reception isn't complicated at all. I had this experience in winter, but I think it's even better in summer! I highly recommend it!

⁃Lots of free time, Massimo sticks to the 5 hours a day&5 days a week. Training is very minimal but help is there if you need it - Hashan, Thilanka, and Lucia are amazing! -Only €20/week for food, no laundry in building -Main issue: guests would not sort their trash properly so we had to pick things out of the bins and sort it ourselves (at least we had disposable gloves...) -Hostel itself is not very clean, comfortable, or safe. It had 2 burglaries during my stay due to guests leaving their balcony doors open. Apparently cameras are being installed but be aware Palermo is not very safe

It was a good experience. I stayed during winter so the hostel were almost empty, however all the volunteers were so kind and the owner was flexible with my needs. Take into account the season to choose the dates of your stay depending on what you want to achieve. I appreciatte that Massimo was able to negotiate and respect the hours assigned for the shifts.

My first volunteering experience was truly special. The work dynamic and the overall atmosphere were so enjoyable, and Hassan and Thilanka were incredibly supportive—they're truly wonderful people. There was a difficult situation during my stay, but I really appreciated how seriously they took it and how quickly they acted, which made me feel respected and cared for. On top of that, I was lucky to have such amazing fellow volunteers. They were so kind and supportive, and their friendship made my experience even more memorable. The tasks were simple, which gave me plenty of time to explore Pale
