I had a great time at this hostel and met some amazing volunteers and travellers. I believe the communication with staff could’ve been a little better as I did not get the time off I was expecting but I understood with unforeseen circumstances there was need to adapt. Claas was helpful and only a phone call away. The hostel had a very cosy vibe and you would feel at home very quickly.

I had a great experience in this hostel, I would definitely recommend it! You will meet a lots of amazing travellers, make great memories and improve your English.
The working hours are clearly set, 3 days off are amazing and enough…
Claas is really cool guy, always positive, always helpful… everything was well organised. :)

It is a nice place to share with people from different countries, both the volunteers and the guests were very friendly, which allowed me to have excellent conversations and share very pleasant moments, the host is very flexible with the schedules and the days off were enough to see more places around the hostel

It was a lovely experience! Tirana is an amazing place to be. The hostel is close to everything, and there are plenty of things to do around the area. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend it.

Although I ended up at a different hostel than the one I originally applied to (under the same host), my experience at Rooftop the hostel was excellent. Claas and Chris were welcoming, supportive & flexible throughout my stay.
Work is divided into morning, afternoon, and night shifts, with different but clear responsibilities each - morning is the more workful, for sure. Food is provided through a nicely ingredient cabinet.
The rooftop offers great views over the city, especially during the BBQs that bring together volunteers and guests.

Thank you Miguel. Yes, it can happen that we ask volunteers to switch to our other hostel. That is only if someone cancels or doesn't show up. But of course it's the choice of the volunteers to agree or not. Both is fine👊. So thank you for the help and your contributions. You are a great person. See you again 👌🍪👊

I had an absolute blast at the hostel. Claas and Chris, the host and the manager, were so welcoming and the other volunteers really made me feel at home. The tasks and hours were straightforward and there was enough time on your off days to explore locally and venture to other areas. The hostel is in a great location and people from all over stay so you really get that global feeling. I was so sad to leave but will absolutely be back.

Genuinely if you are a woman don't come here. He puts you in the hottest part of the hostel with na/c and fans that barely work. The volunteer room itself is more of a storage closet with a bunch of random stuff in it. The hostel has no paid employees. It's ran by the volunteers, he assigns task that has nothing to do with cleaning like making sure the water is running and managing the circuit breaker when the power shorts out. He only has the women cleaning, and if the males don't show up for a shift he pushes it onto everyone else Instead of being a manager and handling it. It's terrible

Hey...thank you for this funny review. We already wrote to worldpackers about it. Theses are basically just lies from someone who thinks volunteering is a cheap way of making a holiday without paying for the stay! Everyone does the same work (males, females and everyone in between 🌈) We have a paid staff member. The volunteer room is not a storage room, it's one of the biggest rooms in the house. The fans are working (the standing ones as well as the wall mounted one)please don't lie,not nice🥱
Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
