I had the most amazing time at Tirana Backpackers! I would 100% recommend this volunteer opportunity to anyone looking for a fun experience. If you enjoy cooking, this is a great opportunity to be independent and get creative. Lia and Kris were great managers and I always felt welcomed and included. The hostel itself is also beautiful and provides both a good opportunity for social atmospheres and personal time. I will definitely be back!!

It was my first volunteering experience ever and I knew this place was going to be the one to begin with. I stand by my choice till the end and words can't explain how much I have enjoyed this experience. I felt very welcomed, immediately connected with my colleagues and guests. I was taking care of the garden and organizing so my tasks changed each day which helped me to learn a lot of skills at once. Open communication was the most important part where I also appreciated the most. If something doesn't add up to you, then share I'm sure you'll find a way in the middle.

My experience in Tirana backpackers was amazing! I've spent 3 weeks doing all sorts of jobs. From painting to general maintenance. The hours of work where respected. All the crew from the hostel are amazing people, I will miss each one of them.
Thank you Kris, Lia, Eri and Elir, you are the best! Hope I can come back another time!
