Experience a Sicilian summer while volunteering at Sunrise Hostel

Hungary

It was absolutely chaotic and untrue. Nothing happened what was promised. We have been called to a different address which place had a very bad vibe. The original place was very abandoned, most showers and toilets didnt work, beds were dusty, so-random schedule and everything were disorganised. Most guests we had were frightened by the conditions (just like other volunteers). In addition we had to pay for coffee, printing and no opportunity to wash our clothes. I had to leave after a few days. Absolutely not recommended. Please avoid at any cost

Gabor. I tell you that the other volunteers you mention are still working with us. The coffee and the impressions that you say, are charged for the guests. Volunteers are given weekly money to buy food, and YOU STOLEN PART OF THAT MONEY THAT WAS FOR THE VOLUNTEERS. You left your ex partners without food and you didn't care. The laundry is not included, but soap to wash your clothes if you want, and a clothes line to hang clothes in the patio it do. You asked for it and it was granted without problems. And the schedules that we coordinate are totally equitable. Nothing out of the ordinary. They are organized so that each volunteer can have their 2 days off together, giving them the chance to make plans and go out if they wish.
I am only replying to this message so that future volunteers or hosts can see that you have lied. Apparently you already have other bad performances with previous hostels. And you left the hostel without warning. You may not like the place or the tasks, but you have been disrespectful to us and to the other volunteers. Please don't come back here. Good luck.

The hostel was my first experience here. Francesco, the owner, is a very friendly person always wiling to provide the best experience for us. The accommodations are simple, so if you're looking for something fancy don't go. You gonna have the true experience with a Italian family in the heart of the capital of Silicy. Not a hard work and a very chill environment at the hostel. Thanks Francesco and family, you all are very welcome and I'm glad to have the experience with you :)

My time in the hostel was very good, the atmosphere is relaxed and the host is super flexible and he was able to attend to my needs and settled me in another hostel that also owns, so I had the opportunity to meet more volunteers. The free time it's great so you can visit places near Palermo.
