Permaculture design and implementation

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. 😘

Moltes gràcies a la Rahima i l'albano, el treball es molt relaxat, nosaltres veniem com a recepcionistes pero com que no hi havia gaires hostes vam fer projectes (pintar una paret, netejar les golfes etc.) Es chill la veritat almenys a temporada baixa:)

It was a great experience!, all staff was very nice and welcoming. There is not a lot to de around but if you are looking for a relaxing time this is perfect!. Very close to a very nice beach with amazing sunsets. I would definitely recommend this experience if you're looking for being near the beach and relaxing:)

My experience at the hostel was incredible! It was my first volunteer and from the moment I arrived they made me feel at home :) shift schedules were organized and there is flexibility for changes. Albano, Rahima and the entire team of volunteers, I will miss you guys! Thank you for this amazing experience.

My experience at the hostel was very good. It was my first hostel experience, and I learned a lot. The schedules were always respected and the team was always very flexible with the tasks and if we needed to change shifts. Albano is an excellent administrator and you can count on him for any questions you may have. The space for volunteers is very good, as we have our own space to eat meals and a bathroom too. Volunteers are responsible for their space, so each day someone needs to clean and everyone contributes to maintaining the place. Definitely I hope to return one day!
