Fue mi primer voluntariado y estuvo muy bien, aprendi mucho. Las 5hs diarias son mayormente cortadas pero se respetan, los dos dias de descanso me tocaron continuos, por lo que pude conocer varios lugares. En vez de darte comidas te dan 20euros que si te organizas, alcanza y comes lo que vos quieras. Thilanka y Hashan son muy amables, te ayudan en todo lo que puedan. Las voluntariadas que conoci muy copadas todas. Volveria a realizar la experiencia en este hostel ya que me senti como en casa y me encanto Palermo.

Esta fue mi primera experiencia como voluntaria y fue increíble. Conocí a personas maravillosas como Thilanka y Hashan, y a mis compañeras igual, les he cogido cariño ❤️🫶🏼 Además esta super cerca de todo, justamente en el centro así que pude conocer Palermo. Muchas gracias y espero volver pronto. <3

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!

Mi experiencia en BalarmHostel fue muy linda. Me sentí muy bien acompañada por los que conforman el Staff: Hashan, Thilanka y Lucía son un amor de personas y siempre están atentos a lo que uno necesita. Se nota su responsabilidad y dedicación, por lo que es muy agradable y eficiente trabajar con ellos. Massimo estuvo pendiente al teléfono 24/7, lo cual hizo que todo esté bien organizado, y cumplió con todo lo acordado. Las tareas del Hostel son llevaderas, los horarios van rotando y es factible tener los dos días off seguidos. El hostel está muy bien ubicado, en pleno centro.

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

Dear Karolina
on page is clearly wrote that we give to volunteers 3 meals or money to buy it.

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.

⁃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

Tuve que cambiar las sábanas de muchas camas, distintas habitaciones, barrer, trapear los pisos (como había tantas camas, me dijeron que no trapeara por ese día). De igual manera, acabé 1h y media más tarde. Los turnos están divididos en 2 partes del día, lo que dificulta manejar tu tiempo libre porque debes regresar. Tenía entendido que la vacante era solo recepción y bartending. Solo me quedé un día, la carga era muy pesada y no tenía energías para salir a conocer Palermo. El hostal necesita mucho mantenimiento. El staff es amable, el dueño no tanto, pero entiendo su descontento.
