I applied to work at the bar but Amelia gave me the AMAZING opportunity to do my art to decorate the walls of the hostel and I'm forever grateful for this. The hostel is great, the staff is so kind and the tasks are very simple, so sometimes they have to make an effort to keep us busy for 8h. The small problems that occur have simple solutions like having a staff's dorm, a door on the bathroom (it gets so cold and we don't have privacy) and allowing laundry once a week would be great. It was an amazing experience, I made friends for life and lived the beautiful Naples like a local. Thank you!

The place is so beautiful… However, if you want an intimate yogi environment then this place is a no. They made me work for a big party event without sitting 8 hours from the first day i got there even though i told them i was not able to sleep due to my transfer flights. Middle of my stay i got really sick that made me puke and faint. They first asked about “if i was able to work for today or not”. Due to my hernia operation i was unable to carry trashes out, one full timer said she doesn't care about my illness since it's work, that hurt… tent gets wet from bottom if it rains too much, too.

Dear Oyku, we are sorry that your experience here at Hopestel was so negative.
Probably, applying for a long-time- standing position such as bartending was not ideal considering your hernia.
Although your requests and complaints were always accommodated and when you were sick we all worried and offered to help.
Your work days/hours were far less than they should have been also considering that you stayed only 2 weeks, which is also why you were always assigned very simple tasks, including throwing out the trash (light trash consisting of paper and cardboard) but even for that you made excuses, despite the fact that the bags were modulated according to your hernia.

Regarding the environment delusion you mentioned, we host yoga classes and workshops everyday but we're not a yoga retreat center and that's not our only focus. We are proud of the spiritualilty of our space but also organize other activities and occasional events that finish by at last midnight (so we're definitely not a party hostel).

Despite an objective operational incompatibility, you are a lovely girl and we all enjoyed your company.
We wish you all the best with your life:)

Very pleasant hostel to live in with a beautiful the hostel! It is easy to enjoy your time there and meet with volunteers and guests from all over the world. I ended up having to leave early though so I didn't get the full experience but it's definitely a pleasant place to stay.
