Thank you the hostel. I felt as though I had lots of time to explore and the work was easy. Sahil, especially, is extremely helpful, kind and patient with all volunteers. I met many international travellers, as well as some locals. It was great staying in a separate apartment, as often I'd have some time alone to reenergise. However, it was dirty when I got there. I understand it's the previous volunteers' duty to clean beforehand, but perhaps some supervision prior the next volunteer's arrival would be beneficial. That was minor though - my overall experience was incredible!

I had a great time at the hostel, met amazing people and the city is beautiful. Working hours were respected and it was good to have our own apartment. The staff and volunteers were the best part thought. Specially Sahil for being so gentle and helpful, and Angela who was like a mother for me during my stay. Only point of improvement would be the wifi of the apartment and the maintenance of the hostel that could be a little better. I am very thankful for the experience and totally reccomend it.

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and I couldn't have chosen a better place! I had the opportunity to connect with international travelers, improve my English, and even practice a bit of Spanish and Italian. The staff and volunteers made me feel welcome from day one. The work was easy and flexible, including cleaning, making beds, check-ins, bar shifts, and other small tasks. Taormina is breathtaking, and the hostel has a great atmosphere. I'm so grateful for everyone I met and I'll always look back on it with great affection 💛

Taormina is absolutely beautiful, and the staff and other volunteers were great. The work wasn't difficult, but the shifts were not always well distributed which could be frustrating. Days off were also sometimes difficult to organize, but Sahil did everything he could to be sure everyone was doing well and had the best experience possible :)

The staff at the hostel have been nothing but super friendly and accommodating, I had a lovely time here and I highly recommend volunteering here for social butterflies, people looking to learn and practice their Italian, and also lovers of beaches and hiking. The work is easy and the hours are really manageable, and the staff do their best to be flexible with your requests for the days you want off and give loads of recommendations for things to do and places to go in the local area. I'm very grateful I got to volunteer here, and wish everyone at the hostel a wonderful summer!
