I had an incredible 3 weeks at the hostel, Lora was the best host/boss I could have asked for and looked after me so well! She has a wealth of knowledge of the history and culture of Albania and was so generous in sharing all of that with me. I loved the experience and can't wait to visit again!

The hostel is the most beautiful hostel I've ever stayed in and it was a pleasure getting to know Lora, who is a very passionate person with a wealth of knowledge about the history of Albania. If you have initiative and some previous relatable experience then you will enjoy your time with Lora, as I did <3

Lora was great from the beginning! She's very friendly and funny, and just makes you feel so comfortable there. The tasks were straight forward and she was very easy to work with. I met some amazing people at this hostel and the whole place just feels like a home away from home 🏡 it's a great energy around the whole place and her and her mum have done so much for women in Albania that it's very inspiring. I recommend this experience to anyone who's ready to help her out around this place! Because your actions can go a long way to ease the load for her😊 I hope to be back again!

Absolutely loved my experience with Lora at the hostel I truly felt at home and appreciated every step of the way, the two weeks went by way too quickly and I would recommend this experience to anyone. The host, Lora makes you feel like part of her family and you truly get to experience Albania from a local who genuinely cares and is incredibly well informed. Lora and her team are founders of a women's NGO and it was truly an incredible learning experience volunteering for her. Highly recommend and will definitely come back ❤️❤️
