I loved my stay at the hostel! The host Albano and Maryam are amazing people who truly care about their volunteers and the hostel! I only did reception there and our hours were 4hours a day, 6 days a week with 1 day off. They are flexible if you want a specific day or time off. Overall, it was a good experience!

Alban is an excellent host, helpful and fun. He enjoys teaching people about Albanian culture and the planting process. The tasks at the site are varied, from cleaning, painting, gardening, and, most interestingly, permaculture. 👨🏻‍🌾 The place is quite comfortable with plenty of space for entertaining. I highly recommend it! Thanks u Alban!
