My experience at the hostel was amazing! The hosts Gjergji, Chris and Deniz were so welcoming and made it feel like home! It was the off season so the work was very minimal. Mainly laundry, cleaning rooms and setting up rooms for guests. A lot of time was spent socialising with guests, other volunteers and exploring Himara. This was my first worldpackers experience and it was the perfect first time. Thank again to the hostel and everyone there for making this such a special experience! I hope to be back one day!

My first volunteering experience was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better one! Gjiergji is incredible person and kind soul, I found out many interesting stories about Albania, he made me feel like at home. Work was super simple : cleaning main kitchen,cleaning bathrooms, making beds, doing laundry. I was connect with nature every day, make friends from all over the world. If you're looking for an experience near the beach with great waves I highly recommend this one!

My time spent at the hostel was fantastic! Gjergji is a very kind and generous host who provides the best advice for enjoying your time in Albania. The hostel is cozy and sharing a room with the other amazing volunteers was such a fun experience. Given I was there during off-season, there wasn't much work required, but when there was, it was super simple: changing beds, cleaning rooms, and doing laundry. Gjergji is kind enough to provide bikes as well so exploring the seaside and mountains is very doable. I will miss the cats, dogs, natural beauty, and people of Himarë so much!

Gjergi was an incredibly kind and attentive host. I especially highlight his willingness to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Without a doubt, I recommend volunteering here to enjoy both the nature and the sea. The place has everything you need to feel at home, and Gjergi makes sure of that. Regarding the daily tasks, I was responsible for cleaning rooms, bathrooms, hallways, and more, which was easy to do since everything you need is provided. I truly enjoyed my stay, and without a doubt, it's a place I would gladly return to. Thank you so much for everything, Gjergi :)

It's my first experience volunteering, and everything was perfect. I had a low season, with few guests, and there was not much homework, but Gjergji has very kindly indicated all the tasks to us. I highlight Gjergji as a great host, one day off he took the volunteers for a walk and taught us about Himara. Thanks for everything! I'll be back soon :)
