I had such a great time at the hostel! Albano is truly welcoming and always ensured you were comfortable during your stay. The work was straight forward and easy to follow and was split between reception work and maintenance on the property. Working only a few hours a day meant you had plenty of time to visit the nearby beaches and beautiful surroundings of Albania. I highly recommend this volunteer experience and met so many lovely people! <3

Alban é um anfitrião maravilhoso. Teve muita paciência comigo kkk os horários são bem flexíveis, os tarefas muito fáceis. Meu único arrependimento é que não fui no verão, pq aí teria mais pessoas, mas a minha experiência foi maravilhosa, não tenho do que reclamar. Recomendo muito.

Even if my stay was short, i enjoyed it at the hostel. The hostel is beautiful and quite new. During low seanson, you have to do renovation and easy diy which i enjoyed. Albano answers your question and you manage your time. Albano is very kind and gives attention to your wellness in the hostel. Saranda can be quiet offseason, which is good if you wanna have time for yourself, but less nice if you are a party person. The city and landscape are astonishing Thank you for everything Albano

I absolutely loved my time at the hostel! I had the flexibility to work on a range of projects, from helping out at reception to working in the garden to updating their Instagram account. Albano was an incredible manager, always very kind and communicative. Also Rahima was the BEST volunteer coordinator <3 There was about 7 volunteers total from all over the world and I loved our little family and I miss them so much! We even got to help raise baby kittens. 10/10 would recommend.

I had a great time at the hostel with the other volunteers and the guest, everyone was really social and it felt like being at home! There's just one thing, there were a few things that the guest were complaining about and when I was communicating them to Alban it felt like he didn't care about fixing those things! I think it's a great place but I'm sure it can be better Thanks for receiving me Alban

I had a wonderful time connecting with the other volunteers and guests. The hostel really allows for social connection and fosters an ability to explore the surrounding area together. I felt that the initial training could have been better; more information from the start would have been nice. I also felt that the staff got accused if something came up rather than questioned. It didn't feel like the hosts had our back in questionable situations and I did feel like I often had to defend myself and the other volunteers often. The tasks were not quite as I expected, but not unreasonable asks.

Thank you for your comments.
It would have been nice to know more about how you were feeling during your stay, you had time and opportunities during your month with us. As far as accusations go, to you personally i only asked questions about system entries and payments. Than that you wanted to advocate for someone else that got imaginative with their behaviour and guests described in detail her appearance and acts is an other thing.
Anyway thank you for stopping by. If you want better communication try practicing yoursefl too, it makes it easier for everyone.
Best of luck!

Minha experiência no hostel foi muito boa, foi meu primeiro voluntariado e o trabalho em si é bem tranquilo. Os voluntários que montam a escala então acaba sendo bem flexível. O Alban é super querido, mas eu esperava que tivéssemos mais atenção e respostas para alguns problemas que eu e os demais voluntários reportamos, faltou isso para minha experiência ser perfeita. A estrutura do hostel é ótima, bem grande e os voluntários tem seu próprio espaço. Recomendo super a experiência, amei meu tempo lá e conheci muita gente incrível e pude praticar diversos idiomas.

It was an overall good experience. Sarandë was an amazing place with fun atmosphere. the hostel has the makings to be one of the best hostels around. The spaces we were part of creating are going to be amazing when they're ready for use! Just a shame I couldn't see it completed. Will just have to come back 😁

It wasn't what I applied for. He asked us to hammer rock from a wall, prime & paint with gasoline in unventilated basement. There was only enough protective gear for 1 of us. Others said their lungs hurt. He was unresponsive, & disappeared before we can discuss concerns. He agreed to update description bc of our concerns, but still hasn't. I couldn't work well due to chemicals/mold worsening my health. He said I can do paintings, yet devalued them after. I arrived as a teen, & he was sexual. I didn't know what to do. I feel taken advantage of, manipulated & this stole my innocence in many ways

Thank you for your comments.
In the time you spent in the hostel the team changened 3 times.
There was a lot of everything that you described.
Alvaro and Danyeli did all that and left 2 paintings. They only stayed 2 weeks. Thank you for the varnish by the way.
You took your paintings with you.
Anyway i am sorry you felt this way and had to leave one month early.
Those last statemens were as harsh and false as they could be.
You forgot to mention that we had to kick out the French guy because of you.
Best of luck on future experiences!

Foi uma experiência diferente, o país é lindo mas levei um choque cultural. E como fui na baixa temporada, o hostel estava bem tranquilo e as funções foram diferentes devido à demanda de hóspedes. Alban e Rahima são muito gente boa. Alban me tratou súper bem, me levou em vários tours e sempre estava disposto a resolver qualquer situação. o hostel pessoal e se possível eu volto na alta temporada. 😘
