WOW! 🤩 I absolutely LOVED my time at the hostel! 🫶🏼 Staff + other volunteers were fantastic & they were home away from home! ☕️ Kitchen Shifts + Staff Food & Coffee were brilliant (loved learning how to make things from SCRATCH!) 🌴 Common Areas were beautiful, both outdoor and inside 🚌 Day Tours were unbelievably FUN & a great bonus for volunteers! 💯 HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE! I was so sad to leave but definitely want to come back x

I think I'm the only one who didn't asked how to arrive here and spend more money 🙃
This is such a nice place, big, very clean and the hosts are very friendly and extrovert, this is in the center of the city so it's easy to find stores or restaurants, as well as ATM because here is more used cash than card

Emily is obnoxious, talks badly about volunteers to other volunteers & an unprofessional communicator. management constantly watched us through cctv which appeared to pick up sound! it was creepy and bizarre; there were multiple occasions where management clearly knew about private conversations or suddenly introduced new rules that could only have come from listening in. after a racist incident i experienced (externally) & reported to robert, neither emily or erjon checked up on me, but i apparently 'stole' cookies (that emily helped plate up!) that i gave to guests for winning quiz night.

Tate, we appreciated your help, but we also had many concerns about your lack of professionalism and discussed these with you. Regarding CCTV, management was not secretly monitoring you; information was shared by other volunteers.
We’re sorry the incident upset you, but we were unaware you expected a follow-up. As you left early, we feel this review does not fairly reflect your time with us. We wish you all the best.

My stay at this hostel in Shkoder was a truly special experience.
From day one, I felt welcomed like family. The project of creating murals inspired by traditional Albanian ornaments and carpet patterns was deeply meaningful for me as an artist. We worked together to bring local culture, history, and handmade symbols onto the walls, creating a bridge between tradition and
contemporary art.The space is full of soul, creativity, and respect for local heritage. The team was open, supportive, and trusted my artistic vision, which made the collaboration smooth and inspiring.
Tanks for all Team!!!

I truly want to thank you for the opportunity to be part of Skodra Hostel. This experience was very special for me. I learned a lot and felt so welcomed from the very first day. The tasks were always fair and well organized, and the energy of the team together with the kindness of the owners made all the difference. I'm really grateful for every moment I lived there. 🙏

I am very grateful for the experience, I learned a lot during my stay. I met wonderful people and had a great time in the city. I took care of the kitten since the day she arrived, so I will miss her dearly. There is so much to explore around Shkodër, you will for sure have fun.

I spent almost 3 incredible months there . A couple of things I would like to say about Erjon, one of the owners, sometimes he can be difficult and can get aggressive if something is not done like he ask, also puts the guest over the volunteer. if I'm working 36hs weekly I would like to receive a little bit of back support. My last night there he asked if I could sleep in the sofa or in a tent cuz the hostel overbooked. I think u have to attempt on that way. The rest of the team and staff was very supportive. María,Asad Durim hope to meet you again! Amazing city & nearby♡

This hostel is a great place and would be perfect for volunteers looking for a slower and quieter exchange rather than more social one. At the time I was there, there were 3 other volunteers but they did not interact with the guests which was unexpected and I felt isolated from them when I would be socialising with guests and they would be doing their own thing. The hosts are wonderful and very kind, but are extremely busy running day trips. However the hostel is safe and comfortable and the work is easy just my experience of the volunteers at the time was unlike any I have encountered before.

I highly recommend volunteering at the hostel. The atmosphere and the place are top-notch, and the tasks are very relaxed. The owners are the best; they make you feel like one more member of the family from the moment you arrive. I am very grateful for letting me be part of this experience and for making my trip more special.
