I had a great time volunteering at the hostel, the hostel was beautiful and the hostel is very well located! Amelia and the other staff members were really nice and easy to talk to, we talked about a lot of things from travelling to gossip to Neapolitan culture! :) The work was easy and I learned a thing or two about standing behind a bar and making cocktails and coffee! I had a great time with the other volunteers and guests as well! All in all, I had a great time, thank you!! <3

My stay at the hostel were great! When I arrived there was already a group of volunteers who had been there for a couple weeks, but from the first night they made me feel part of the group. Amelia and everybody working there were very welcoming, and the hostel was so nice, I felt at home straight away. The work at the bar was easygoing most of the time, but there were often events in the weekends and things got pretty busy. The shifts were either in the morning or evening, so I had a lot of free time to explore the city. Naples was truly amazing, I loved it !

Working with and for Amelia, the owner of this amazing hostel in Napels, was truly amazing! Together with the team I worked with, we went for little trips with Amelia and her husband! They showed us spots where we wouldn't be going if they didn't invite us. The hours are very respected and you can always ask for a change in the timetable. The hours were very flexible! Beside the owner Amelia, there working two girls who became my friends and I really enjoyed spending time with them! So overall; it was an amazing experience and the location: perfect!!

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.

Excelente lugar para conectar con viajeros y locales. Hermosa experiencia en el jardin secreto, en una ciudad agitada como Napoles. Todo el equipo de the hostel tiene la mejor predisposición para que tu estadía sea buenisima. Hermosa gente y compañeros !

Mi experiencia en el hostel fue inmejorable, con un grupo humano muy cálido, tanto el staff como el resto de los voluntarios. Todas las instalaciones son muy cómodas y las tareas sencillas. Volvería sin duda a repetir la experiencia 🙌🏼🙌🏼

El tiempo en el hostel fue increible. El equipo completo se porto excelente con nosotros y en mi caso que precise hacer un estudio medico en la ciudad me ayudaron con todo, desde llamar para reservar mi turno hasta guiarme como llegar y traducirme los resultados. El hostel es tan comodo que invita a pasar mucho tiempo dentro, pero la ciudad es hermosa y esta llena de cosas para hacer. Al ser una ciudad tan cosmopolita los huespedes vienen de todos lados, con lo cual conectamos con personas de todas partes y con todo tipo de trasfondos. Sin dudas voy a volver de estar nuevamente en Napoli!!!
