My time at the hostel was lovely, Evisa and her family made me feel very welcome from the first day. The tasks were easy and the times were respected as agreed. I can only say good words to this experience, the food always amazing, the most comfortable bed ever, an amazing view every day and they even helped me with winter clothes. I'll be forever thankful to them 💕

I don't have enough words to describe this experience. First of all, they made me feel like a member of the family. They prepared typical food to share with me, always invited me to eat with them, and, of course, I was very happy to be able to enjoy the grandmother's breakfast. I adored the little curly-haired and beautiful baby (crespita) she was cute. I love her. 😍The tasks were really easy, and Evisa was always very patient and helpful in teaching me. It's an amazing opportunity to practice English and learn about this culture with this sweet family. I miss you a lot, my second family.

I absolutely loved staying at the hostel - it's the nicest hostel I have ever been to with the sweetest family! I had an incredible time and every day was so lovely here. I had a great time meeting guests from all over, hosting rooftop happy hours, hanging with the family (and the dogs), and getting to know the wonderful locals in Gjirokaster. Plus I got to learn a little bit of Albanian! You will be spoiled with lots of delicious food, homemade wine, comfy beds, and fun day trips with Landi and his jeep. I truly can't thank them enough, and I consider them all my family 😊❤️

I absolutely loved my volunteering time here! I was only here for two weeks but it felt like I was part of the family for ever. The work was great, we helped each other do the tasks that needed doing. Which were mainly changing the beds when guests left, washing and general tidying of areas. The food was absolutely amazing. I was never hungry and they provided so much food. I loved the family so much and I have some great memories here. If you're looking for a loving, relaxing volunteer time, I would 100% recommend.
