I had a really amazing time in Saranda! The task are easy, Albano is really flexible and the hostel is really nice to live in. I met a bunch of the funniest and loveliest people here, guests & staff :)

Volunteering at the hostel was amazing! Today I can say that Albania is my favorite country!!! During my days there I had a big personal problem, and Alban helped me a lot and made me feel comfortable. He is a super sweet person that I will always remember! The city is great for the beach and the hostel is quite spacious! The work is light and Alban is flexible and helps us however he can! Thank you, Alban!

I had a great first volunteering experience at the hostel! My goal was to connect with international travelers and it couldn't have been easier. The work is easy to learn and the hours are fine. Albano is one of the kindest people I've ever met and he always helped when I had questions. In my first week I got along very well with the other volunteers and that made the work super enjoyable and easy. When they left it was only me and one other volunteer and it was hard to communicate and get everything done. So when the team of volunteers work well together, everything is perfect!

Albano was super kind and helped us in every situation. Also he was sometimes baking cakes for all of us! The working hours were totally relaxed (never had a more relaxed work), mostly we could choose when we start working and when we finish, since we were in construction and had no many guests. Truly amazing experience! We'd love to come back

This was my first experience volunteering with worldpacker and I couldn't have chosen a better place. Albano was very welcoming and we did a little bit of everything, he was always very kind. He has 2 beautiful dogs that we would go out with in the company of the guests for a few walks in the night. I will carry this experience with me forever! Thanks!!

We had a great time and learned a lot at the hostel!!! alban and rahi were certainly the highlight of the experience - always welcoming, kind, understanding and flexible. about work, due to the low season and few guests, we ended up working on projects at the hostel (renovations and moving things from one place to another), instead of what we had applied to do, which ends up being a bit tiring and demotivating. obs: saranda is expensive and, as there are no meals included in the exchange, it's worth preparing the budget lol. thanks for everything and see you next time

We came for photography/social media position but when we arrived they told as that we will be working in reception and cleaning. The work wasn't hard, specially cause it was low season. We left cause our travel plans changed but Saranda it's a beautiful place!!

Albano and all the volunteers and guests made me feel very welcomed and safe. I met tons of really cool people through the hostel. The accommodation was fine, but not my favorite. The volunteer dorm was pretty dark and the cot I got to sleep on was ok but not the most comfortable. I was there in the off season so the work was mostly small renovations and improvements to the hostel. The work was really easy and I had tons of free time. I would have preferred a more consistent schedule but like I said it was the off season so the summer might be more structured. Overall it was a good experience.

Thank you for your remarks Sloan. We were quite happy with your work.
You should know that Yoda was adopted to a Shephard in Finiq and Genci to Lukova. Thank you for not letting them eat our neighbor.
Those dogs were saved on a hike a year ago from a volunteer (@Jesus) like you that stayed for just a few weeks here and left us with 3 thirsty feisty mountain dogs. Its true we have our cultural differences but you need to know that the idiom "Rain cats and dogs" its a reality here twice a year.
As far as structure goes, if you thought that was chaotic, come visit us in summer. :D it will give you perspective!
Anyway we did try our best to give you a good first volunteer experience.
Better luck in the future.
Thanks again!
