LOL hostel was awesome! The team was so sweet and friendly, and communication was very clear and respected. The only improvement could be said about the volunteer housing, which maintenance work aside was extremely beautiful. I can't wait to come back to sicily :)

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! :)
