The highlights of this hostel were definitely the managers, Thilanka and Hasham, who were very helpful and supportive. Palermo itself is an amazing city with beautiful nearby beaches and amazing atmosphere. There were a few areas that could be improved. Our dorm room did not have a lock, which made us feel unsafe at times, and there were recurring bed bug issues that could have been handled better. Although the listing mentioned three meals a day, we only received breakfast and 20 euros per week to cover other meals, which is not enough. Overall the experience was good but hostel need changes

On the one hand I had a nice experience in general. I have improved my italian, the volunteer experience was such a nice thing. The mix of working hours and having so much free time was really nice. I have never worked more than 5 hours.
The best part of all, however, were the three other volunteer girls. I will never forget them. Also the permanent employees, Thilanka and Hashan. Thanks to them so much.
Work was so simple and easy to understand.
But there are a lot of things which can be manage so much better of the host / manager.
E.g. professional abatement of bed bugs

Dear Marina
the manager and property followed all the rules to prevent and to remove bugs issue, your behavior was always bothersome and problematic, you complained for everything and cant solved also the smallest problems, we accepted your request also if your age was not on-line with others volunteers (39) thinking you can add some good vibes and experience to the team but we were wrong, your presence was only a limit and your behavior influenced in a negative way all the team, unsuitable!!!

This experience had its good and bad. The team was amazing, shoutout to Thilanka and Hashan for literally everything. The work hours were respected and organized. We had 2 shifts of 2.5 hours, and we got 2 days off which was nice.
There were quite a few incidents that I think the host definitely could’ve handled better.
Also when I read 3 meals were provided, it is really only breakfast and then we got 20 euros a week, which is definitely not worth 3 meals a day.
Palermo itself is an amazing city with beautiful nearby beaches as well.

My experience at Balarm Hostel was great. The atmosphere with both the guests and the volunteers is good. I met wonderful people who made a difference during my stay at the hostel. The work is easy and the working hours are respected. There is plenty of time to explore the island. Thilanka and Hashan are very nice and helpful with everything you need.
