I had an amazing stay here. I stayed for 2 months and somehow it went by so fast! Amelia, Simona, Elisa and Maila are all super welcoming and they run the hostel really well. The garden is even more beautiful in person than the pictures :) I worked the night shift and most of my shifts were really chill and not hard work. Napoli is such a lively city with the best food in Italy and its a great base for travelling all around Campania. The girls even helped me a lot when I lost my phone and I made amazing friends with the other volunteers too! And of course I will miss Karma :)

I had an amazing experience at Hopestel and would recommend it to anyone considering! It’s such an incredible and welcoming atmosphere where you can easily meet many different kinds of people and I made heaps of great friends! The work is not hard at all and I honestly enjoyed the tasks as well as the hours being clear and respected. Napoli is a vibrant beautiful city and also a perfect place to explore from, as you have lots of time to do so. I wish I could have stayed longer and had more time to get to know Amelia who was so warm and kind, I truly hope to return!!

I had such a great time at Hopestel during my volunteering! From the beginning, I felt at home. The staff was so friendly and helpful at all times. I made really good friends that I'll have for the rest of my life. Plus, I am thankful for the opportunity to immerse myself in Napoli's rich culture and warmth. I absolutely recommend the experience! Hope to see you soon!

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:)

Volunteering at HOPEstel was a rly good experience, recommed a lot! The hostel is cozy, the garden is fantastic, it's one of, if not the best I've been structurally. Napoli is a very special city: so much culture, beautiful places and greeeat food.
The girls from the staff are amazing -vry thankful for the great reception and showing us around <3
I did the night shift, the tasks were easy to understand and most of the nights were really chill - on weekends/events you can get some drunk guests haha and I had some trouble sleeping after the shift cause it's really noisy. But it was great!
