Hello everybody! We are Mikel and Irena, and we run a friendly hostel in Shkodra, Albania. We’re looking for positive, easygoing volunteers to help us with the daily life of the hostel and share a great experience together. Our hostel is located in a quiet neighborhood close to the city center. Shkodra is a place visitors quickly fall in love with. The city sits beside Lake Shkodra, the largest lake in the Balkans, and is home to the historic Roz

We had a lovely month volunteering at the hostel. Mikel and Irena were very welcoming and great hosts. The hostel is in an ideal central location in Shkodër for exploring the town and surrounding area. The hostel is also very clean and comfortable making it a great place to stay. The hours and workload was very fair giving us plenty of time to explore Shkodër, which is a lovely town to visit for a longer stay. It was great fun meeting all the other volunteers and travellers passing through. I can highly recommend volunteering or visiting the hostel.

My 3 weeks at the end of the season at the hostel were great! It's a relaxed atmosphere, the work is not hard, and Mikel and Irena were generous hosts. Shkoder is a really nice place to spend time, it's affordable and has great coffee, there's also plenty of things to do in the area around the town. We did shifts of 5 hours every day with one day off per week, all the work was very reasonable. There was a shared dinner every night in the hostel courtyard cooked by Irena. We also had a great group of volunteers, all up we really enjoyed our stay ✨ thank you, Mikel and Irena!

I volunteered for one month at the wonderful the hostel and from my first day I felt like at home. Mikel and Irena are incredibly kind and helpful and are doing whatever they can to make your volunteering experience as good as possible. They care about everyone who stays at their hostel a lot. They organise plenty of events for the guests and volunteers, like BBQ, karaoke, movie nights, sangria nights, cliff jumping, lake trips. Volunteering there was really enjoyable and I always felt appreciated. I also had plenty of time to explore Shkoder and the area. Can definitely recommend!!

My partner and I had a wonderful time volunteering at Tias hostel. Mikel and Irene are lovely and we enjoyed our time exploring Shkoder. The work was straight forward and flexible with communication to the hosts. Would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing time volunteering in Albania. Thanks for the lovely experience

We loved our volunteer experience at the hostel. Mikel and Irena are lovely hosts and made us feel very welcomed since day one. Daily tasks are easy to complete and allow flexibility to your day. We usually had our afternoon's free to go ride a bike to the lake etc. We now confidently can say we have a second home in Shkoder, Thank you for everything!
