I would recommend this hostel to anyone. The tasks and hours are very fair and manageable. You share a room with 3 other volunteers so it's a nice number of people. You can avail of a nice free breakfast each morning also which is lovely. Everyone at the hostel was amazing and I can't wait to come back. I had a medical issue and Chris went above and beyond to help me out.

This was my first volunteering experience with Worldpackers. I couldn't speak more highly of the hostel and the staff (especially Chris!!) - the whole experience was amazing and I will miss it very much. The work is very manageable and I had a lot of fun. It really feels like home and I'd 100% recommend to anyone wanting to volunteer.

This was my first experience as a volunteer and I can only say I chose the best place to do it. It was an experience as no other, I had seen all the great reviews about this place and I agree 100% with all of them. Everything was top-notch, from the people working there, the other volunteers, the atmosphere, the tasks and everything in between. I had so much fun, practised a lot of Italian, perfected my cooking skills, learned about cocktails and all in all had the best time in Naples. This place became my home and I'm so happy I'm leaving with a great group of people I can call my family :)

The accommodation was sub standard and not secure. Safety of us volunteers was comprised during the night. The after care was not adequate, given the situation could have been significantly worse. We were not treated with respect and care following a traumatic event. This led to 3 of us leaving immediately, as there was also a history of poor communication and disrespect. Work jobs were as expected and not too difficult. Was such a shame as I was very looking forward to experiencing Naploi.

Hi Lucy,
Thanks for your review.
I've spoke with the complete staff after your departure and managed to take everything under control again.
We significantly improved our security (new barriers, new surveying cams, sound alarms, etc).
Hopefully this will not happen again. It was a traumatic event for all of you volunteers but also for us.
I understand your reaction together with the other volunteers, I'm sorry that the staff reaction was not what you would have expected, those situations are difficult for everyone to handle.
However, it seems that everything came back to normal since a few weeks now.
Wish you the best for the rest of your trip and hope you find nice places where to experiment this beautiful way of travelling that is volunteering!
Kindly,
Christophe

I had some fantastic encounters, and Christophe was welcoming. However, when I arrived at the hostel, there was considerable tension between the staff and volunteers. I sensed a lack of communication between employees and volunteers. The manager exhibited verbal aggression in response to an situation . Unfortunately, someone broke into our room and the staff didnt deal well the situation with us. So for that reasons, I did not feel comfortable staying any longer, so I decided to leave earlier. There is room for improvement in fostering better connections between hostel staff and volunteers.

The hostel's quiet location offers a nice escape from the noisy city center. The shifts are manageable, varying with check-outs, and the kitchen and guest areas are great. Downsides include the general manager's attitude (reported to Worldpackers), the volunteers bedroom door that doesn't close, and occasional bathroom issues, but alternatives were available. WiFi may be challenging for digital nomads. The rest of the staff are welcoming,helpful, and friendly, making it a potential stay for me with a different GM

The hostel has an incredible energy, it's perfect for meeting travelers from all over and connecting with people. Some days the work is a bit hard because we have to make coffee and then beds (sometimes there are many). The staff are very nice and do everything they can to make us feel at home.

I loved my time at the hostel! The entire staff is incredible and the place is really nice. The hours worked in the morning can vary, sometimes we made 15 beds, sometimes 30.
