I had a great month in Taormina at homstel. It was in a beautiful location and an amazing experience. The town of Taormina itself is stunning with lots to explore and discover. Francesco and Pervina were so welcoming and were super flexible with the hours. The work was pretty easy going and all the other volunteers were great to work with, special mention to Italo 🥰

Overall the experience was very nice, the host and the people working at the hostel were very nice and helpful for my first volunteering and hostel experience. The hostel was a small but cosy hostel and really enjoyed working there. The variety of the tasks, from cleaning to making check-ins gave me more experience in all round hostel tasks. I feel like I have learned a lot here. The shifts were short and working was very relaxed. Taormina is a very beautiful place and Sicily is an amazing island, so there is also lots to explore in your free time.

10/10 Experience! Much love to Francesco and Pervina who have become my good friends. I really enjoyed learning the reception work and doing the night shift. I have connected with amazing people from all over the world here. In addition, Sicily is an amazing and beautiful place to explore. They are flexible with adjusting their schedule so you can go explore the nightlife of Catania and Palermo. I will be back! ;)

This was a transformational experience. The hosts and volunteers were gracious, patient, and caring. The environment was truly a space to connect with others and explore more of Sicily. I truly loved working in the hostel to interact more with travelers and to be part of something greater. Taormina was a little more pricey when it came to groceries than I expected but other than that it was perfect.

This was my first experience with worldapckers, and it was all positive. The work at the hostel was stimulating and formative, the staff is immediately available to explain the tasks and help us in our shift. I met and collaborated with the other volunteers, all foreigners, and shared good times. The city is small but very elegant, a lot of tourism, good food, and it offers many attractions. My time here was really fantastic and unforgettable.

It was a nice experience! Taormina is a stunning place, the team was very nice, I had a good time with Leticia and Pervina! Also Francesco is always available to help. We had to move houses and it was a bit confusing but after talking with them it was solved in the best way for both parts. I just want to give an advice that Taormina is a charming but small town, there's not much to do in the night and during the day there's restaurants and the beach, and is pretty much this, there's some activities in some cities around tough.

The hostel is a wonderful place to stay as a guest, as well as a volunteer. First off, Taormina and Sicily in general is a beautiful place! Second off, the hostel is very central, with a huge welcoming terrace with a nice view right over Taormina, the ancient theatre and the sea. The working hours are fair (4 hours a day) and flexible. The hosts Francesco and Pervina were such nice and welcoming people, who showed me around a lot and always checked in if everything was alright! I'm very thankful to them, even if I had to cut my volunteer experience short by 2 weeks :( I'll come back!!

Being at the hostel was pleasant. There's some mesmerizing places to explore whether in the city itself or nearby. I met travellers from other countries, especially Latinx people, so I could practice my Spanish. The other volunteers were friendly and we would do lots of activities together. Work was fair and not heavy. The only con of my experience was how outdated their bookings and check-in system was (they do everything manually and that sometimes led to overbooking and guests being placed in the volunteers' room because there was nowhere else to put them, which was a bit annoying)
