The hostel is very beautiful with a lovely garden, lots of chickens, cats and fruit trees! The working hours were always respected and the tasks were very easy. the hostel is a nice city as well and there is lots of free time to explore. Fatima makes a delicious breakfast everyday and is very kind. Communication on the tasks can be a little tricky sometimes, but overall I would recommend this experience.

I had a lovely experience at the hostel! Fatima is really kind and welcoming, and she makes a great breakfast with delicious homemade jam :) The tasks were super easy and the shifts were short, so there was plenty of free time to relax or explore. The garden is absolutely beautiful, full of different fruit trees, which was definitely a highlight of my stay. Communication with Fatima could sometimes be a bit tricky because of the language barrier, but we always managed to understand each other in the end. Overall, it's a peaceful and enjoyable place to volunteer!

I had a great experience in the hostel, we were able to explore the city on our days off, the working hours were always respected and the tasks were easy. Fatima was very kind to us, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast everyday and sharing time with her family as well, overall we felt very comfortable during our stay. We would only recommend to have an ac since the room can get very cold at times.

I spent almost a month helping Eduart with content creation. He is kind, attentive, highly knowledgeable about Albania, and full of energy, you will love to meet him if he gets some free time. the hostel is quite cold, and you can't pay anything by card, so make sure to bring some local cash (lek). Buses only depart once they are full, so don't rely on the system to be punctual. I believe the experience might be better in the summer. Internet is ok. Fatima is lovely and always willing to help with anything you need, her husband as well. Thank you for the experience. Adorable family. xx

I had an amazing experience in the hostel. Only i didn't give 5 star because, sometimes the communication with the host is a little bit messy sometimes , because i don't speak albania and she speaks a little bit English. All with all Fatima is an amazing host and if you like a peaceful garden to relax in this is a good place for you :)
