Details

Description
Yasmin, a former solo traveler, percussionist, and fashion designer is the owner of this little homely hostel, she's made most of the things handmade and put all her soul into it. It's been quite busy with guests since the first day because of the broad social interactions and the dreamy atmosphere.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Here you can constantly meet very interesting people from all around the world and focus on learning anything you are interested in. Yasmin is often there to help you with anything you might need regarding the hostel. We are located in a perfect area where you can walk to many historical places, beaches and old town, or easily take any kind of transportation to any attraction.
Help
More important than physical works in the hostel, we need someone with kindness and positive attitude towards other staff and guests. In general we need help with the daily chores, cleaning, making beds and doing laundry, it's a very small hostel so daily chores finish quickly. Another work will be about Loco, cute but crazy dog, take him to long walks and play with him as much as possible. :)

Instantaneously, Paul and I became friends during our first short chat after he arrived at the door without we yet planned on his arrival.
He is such an amazing person with his beautiful heart, kindness and tranquility. He adopts your workplace or home as his own and takes good care of everything it includes, let it be objects, pets or humans. He… read more

I stayed and helped Yasmin for around 3 months.

It was a learning experience for sure. I now know what it's like to manage a house with a full stock of supplies, beds, bathrooms, garden, balcon and dog.

I met a whole lot of tourists and other volunteers and I made many friends who I hope to know for the rest of my life.

Always in the evenings… read more

Andrey is a beautiful soul with a very creative mind. He doesn't mind learning new things, doesn't matter how hard they seem to him in the beginning. It was really fun spending time with him, everyone had a good laugh whenever they had a conversation! :)
Recommended to everyone who wants to enjoy the moment!

This art hostel usually have a lot of cool people and musical instruments what many of them can play. Starting bonfire in friendly atmosphere here is always good idea.

I am so incredibly grateful to have joined Yasmin at the Hostel . I stayed for about three weeks, during which I spent my time eating good food, playing music, walking Loco(probably the toughest part of the job), sweeping and mopping and making sure that the hostel stayed in a good state, and most of all smiling and laughing. Once you settle in,… read more

How difficult it was for me to leave that place, few places I could feel like there, like at home. I arrived with the idea of staying two weeks and in the end it was five months. As I said it became very difficult for me to leave that place. The love for that dog, how much it made me have fun and the great adventures we had. Yasmin the best… read more

Both a hard goodbye, because I didn't want to leave, and an easy one, because I'm so sure I'll be back soon. I stayed for nearly three months, both as a volunteer and as a guest, and it helped me appreciate how perfect the place is from every angle.
Yasemin has created a place that feels like home for people who are in need of this feeling while… read more

I stayed for about a month and I really enjoyed my time there! Yasmin is very kind and super patient! It definitely took me a while to get the hang of things, but Yasmin and Matias (another volunteer) were always willing to answer any questions and help me out. This Hostel is a lovely place with great people and I am so incredibly grateful to have… read more

Francesco is such an amazing person, so sincere and honest from the beginning that you feel you met your long-lost friend. He learns very quickly and puts all his energy to what his task is. We've connected really fast from the first moment, and I believe we will be in touch for all our lives! :)
Highly recommended if you want to make a truthful… read more

When I got to the hostel I didn't have a clear idea about the length of my stay at "yasmine's home", I was thinking to stay maybe a week or two, but I ended up leaving the place only 2 months after. Once you reach this place you don't want to leave anymore, the atmosphere is unique and not easily found in other hostels. Yasmine is an artistic and… read more

I spent two and a half weeks with Jasemin in her hostal and my experience was super cool. Without any doubt Antalya is the best place in Turkey; I really enjoyed my time in the city, the places and the beaches are beautiful, the nightlife in the old town is amazing and the people is fun. We were 3 volunteers at the same time and we had a schedule… read more

Yenny and Ivan have accommodated themselves to the hostel from the first moment they have arrived. Not much of a training was needed since they are already quite experienced working at tourism businesses.
Ivan always has a very positive energy, smiling while helping you to the most with what you need. Yenny cooks amazing dishes. They both are… read more

It really was a very nice experience and we learned a lot from it.
The hostel is beautiful and very cozy, where everyone is part of a big family (guests, volunteers, Yasemin and Loco). The work is very well organized so you always know what to do, what shift you work, and when you have days off.
Yasemin is a very good person, who will always be… read more
