LOL hostel was an amazing experience! The team is amazing, sweet, fun and welcoming. My five weeks there was everything I wanted it to be. Siracusa and Sicily is beautiful and you have lots of time to do everything you want to on the island. Thank you!

It was an amzing experience. The plan was to stay 7 weeks, but I fell in love with the city so I decided to stay even longer. The staff from the hostel was so supportive and kind. They helped me finding a job and tried to compromise every time. I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to meet those people. The work was pretty easy and I learned a lot of new things. The hostel itself is really chill and I like how they keep it. I'm so thankful for everything.

Mr.Massimo was kind and helpful. The hostel team (Kris, Pilar, Nico and Irena) was totally amazing! Great communication, flexibility in the working schedule, patient in teaching us all the necessary in order to work at the reception and the bar and absolutely caring about our needs. The apartment that was offered was a bit old and not really well preserved and equipped, but it was really close to the hostel, so we had the ability to cook there and have internet access there. As a general experience, I would suggest it to other potential volunteers for sure! :)

I really enjoyed my experience at Lol Hostel. The entire team is warm and attentive, and the volunteers have their own space, which is very convenient and comfortable. I also had plenty of free time to relax and explore Syracuse and the surrounding areas, which I'm very grateful for.
The only small point is that I expected to work a bit more at the bar, but during my stay the hostel received groups of teenagers, so the volunteers mainly helped with the dinners. Still, the schedules were always flexible and easy-going, and I never felt overwhelmed. I truly recommend this experience to anyone ✨

Wonderful experience! Lol Hostel was my first host and visiting Siracusa was my first time solo travelling. Everybody on the staff is extremely kind and made me feel welcome, even before I arrived! I got to meet many kind people, travellers and locals, and got to practice Italian:) Siracusa is beautiful and there's a good bus system to explore the surrounding areas and cities. The work hours were always communicated clearly and respected and the tasks were mostly easy. I would ask the host if there are many groups staying or check if there are other volunteers at the same time!

My experience at Lol was truly amazing! I worked as a bartender, which was super fun. The shifts and off days were respected and made it easy to work, travel and rewind. The hostel itself is great and the cost support provided makes the stay even better. This was my third month in Sicily and Syracuse turned out to be the perfect quiet city to relax while enjoying local life. The atmosphere at the hostel made everything even more special, and I felt very welcome. Huge thanks to Pilar and Khris for their support. I'm really grateful for this opportunity and hope to come back, 100% recommend.

My experience at the Lol hostel was amazing! The city is charming, full of history and beauty. I was warmly welcomed by Pilar, who was incredible with me the entire time. Nico and Kris were also great! The tasks were easygoing, and I had plenty of time to explore. I highly recommend this Worldpackers experience!
