The hostel is very good located, close to the central station and the centre, the staff is very welcoming from the beginning and the shifts are very manageable and flexible.
It is very easy to meet new people and make friends from a lot of different places.
It was my first worldpackers experience and for me time went by very fast so it couldn't have been better :)

It was definitely a good choice.
The hostel has a great location (close to the central station, night life and public transport) and shifts are always respected (either housekeeping, reception, bar or kitchen closure).
It was an enriching experience, both culturally and personally. Thank you to all of the staff for their warmth and friendliness :)

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I really had a great time!
The staff is very welcoming and flexible, the tasks are easy and as described and the location is excellent, close to the centre and nightlife in Palermo.
We had a common kitchen with statement ingredients to cook and you are provided with 20€ per week for the meals.
The volunteers share a room and it was easy to make friends with the other volunteers and guests,you will quickly feel at home in the hostel.
I would recommend this experience if you like big cities, want to practice languages and meet different people :)

Overall, the experience was good because of the people I met. Thilanka and Hashan were super nice. Thilanka was always there to help and be your friend. Unfortunately, there was a bed bug infestation that didn't go away the entire month (see reviews on Hostelworld & booking.com). It was also in one of the beds in the volunteer room and still there after I left. The owner was really disrespectful over text (was in Germany during). He wouldn't address the problem properly and would deny having bed bugs to guests (multiple guests say they emailed beforehand). Good location as it’s near the train.

Dear Madison
thanks to stay at Balarm hostel and help voluntering in our team, anyway you was voluntering not working so your time should to be spended to work 5 hours not to gave medical diagnosis to the guests or talk versus the owner decision (that have 15 years of experiences in the hostel managing); bed bugs problems are unfortunately commons in the hostels (in all the world) and we do all the possible to solve it as soon as possible , company disinfected the rooms after fews days (they are not available in 24h as you maybe think) and staff room was steamed solving the problem the same day, have a nice summer.

Estuve durante un mes en Balarm y el tiempo pasó volando. El trabajo era sencillo ( hacer camas, limpieza general , recepción y bar ) muy tranquilo.
Me sentí bien acogida y respetada por parte del staff (Thilanka , Lucia, Rita, Hashan ) Agradecida por esta experiencia tan positiva.
Además Palermo es una ciudad que te atrapa y siempre quiero volver.
Gracias al equipo por la oportunidad de colaborar juntos. Espero vernos en un futuro próximo! 🫶🏼
