We had a great time volunteering at the hostel! Aldo and the rest of the team are super kind and treated you like family. Work was easy and flexible and the accommodation was clean and comfortable. We especially loved spending time with all the cats and getting to enjoy Xhulijos bbqs. We initially intended to stay 2 weeks but ended up there for 3! Thanks so much guys for a great stay!

I've had an absolutely wonderful time at the hostel, this place really feels like home. The atmosphere created by the team, volunteers and the guests is always amazing! My work at the reception was really easy, the team was always supportive and flexible and there was never any problem with adjusting the shifts so that I could take part in the activities organised by the hostel (like cliff jumping or wine tasting). My stay there was one of the best things that happened to me this year and I already miss all the wonderful people (and cats!!) I met at the hostel :))

I had the best experience at the hostel, immediately it felt like home. Everyone that works there + the volunteers were amazing!! The work is super self explanatory and flexible. We went on heaps of trips out of Shköder to the beach, cliff jumping, farms and more. I got to meet so many amazing guests and had a great time, I would recommend this experience to anyone and everyone. I can't wait to come back. :)))

Our woofing experience at the hostel was great ! We did housekeeping every morning and at the beginning of the afternoon, and everything always went really well. The work was chill, the atmosphere was nice, and the team was welcoming. Even though our English wasn't perfect, we met some amazing people and we're leaving with so many great memories ! Thank you for welcoming us so warmly and for making us feel at home :) We hope to come back one day and see you all again !

I couldn't have chosen a better place for my first volunteering. The crew and volunteers were amazing, social, fun and always ready to help. Working hours are respected, rooms clean and tidy, trips and daily activities are extremely fun. I'll never forget those people and time we've spent together. I really enjoyed my stay at the hostel and I'll definitely come back!!🫶

This volunteering experience definitly stands out towards the rest i have done. U directly become part of a family and whatever happens they will treat u like family. It was quite social (not party) but always people around to have a chat with etc. The facility's are really nice as well (only downside was the missing AC in the volunteers room which made the nights some days quite difficult) but everything else was great. The 3 managers, locals, will make sure you see the best side of albania and leave with a great impression. Work (reception) is really chill.

Planned to stay for 3 weeks but ended up extending my stay much longer. I felt at home from day one. The day trips and tours are fantastic if you want to explore and learn about northern Albania. There's a weekly food budget, great pizza at the bar, a real family atmosphere, and well-organised tasks and schedules. The host is always happy to help and genuinely cares about making your stay enjoyable. If you enjoy meeting people, you'll fit right in. I made great friends with both the staff and guests :)

Aldo, Xhuljano and Lala are the best people, couldn't do more for us and always went out of their way to teach us about the culture and make sure we were happy. The hostel is a great vibe and the work is easy and fun. We went on a bunch of day trips and go some exclusive trips like shala river. the hostel is a great place to volunteer, they'll treat you like family.
