This was honestly the best month of my life! Riccardo and Andrea are the best hosts. They made me feel very welcome. And I had so much fun with the other volunteers🩷 The work is easy and you have plenty of time to chill but also lots of time to explore Vlore and other cities in Albanië. Would highly recommend!

Definitely wasn't easy.. to leave this place. Amazing athmosphere and people who really felt like home. Riccardo and Andrea are always there (with the cats) to help or listen to all of your secrets if needed;)) Aitäh!!🫶 The work is not difficult and you'll have a lot of free time to make roadtrips or see the surroundings by bike. (Sea water in Vlora is crazily beautiful!!)And thanks to all of my favourite volunteers for the daily kitchen dancing sessions, see ya soon!!

The hosts Ricardo and Andrea were one of the bests hosts I've had so far ! And of course I can't forget about Valentino 🐈🫶🏻. The schedule was very flexible and the work wasn't difficult. They give you tons of free time to explore the rest of albania ! I met some amazing people while volunteering here which made my time here unforgettable. Thank you so much to the hostel for having me ! 10/10 would recommend!

We forgot to writea reviewabout Elvira because we were very busy these days so we take the chance to do it here, after having said thanks to her for her good words about the experience with us. She was always ready to help, trustable and with a great attitude with the other volunteers and the guests. I can only suggest to improve her chess skills :+) Thank you Elvira, we wish all the best to you!

Riccardo, Andrea (and of course Valentino 🐈) were very welcoming and were amazing hosts. Andrea and Riccardo were very accommodating and made sure we made the most of our time in Albania. The work was easy and we had plenty of time in the day to explore the area and enjoy the sunshine. I would 100% return and recommend it to everyone :)

There's nothing negative to say about this volunteer experience. Riccardo and Andrea (and Valentino) made me feel like I was apart of a home away from home. You can tell how much care they put into the hostel and the guests. There's a lot of free time to explore Vlora and even nearby towns in between shifts. The work was very easy and the it was quite easy to get to lots of different places from the hostel. If I'm ever in Vlora again I'll definitely be coming back!
