The Experience
Since we are both a hostel and a bar, we need volunteers who are flexible and open to a variety of different tasks. Some of the things we need help with are reception, housekeeping, creating a nice atmosphere for guests, and helping out at the bar during events. If you have any special skills you would like to share with us, we are happy to hear about them!

I love bedstation!!!! rino was such an amazing host and is so welcoming and kind. he has such a fabulous energy and was so good about taking the volunteers to places that you wouldn't normally see as just a tourist which was so appreciated. the work was very chill and straightforward as well. i definitely recommend talking with the people at the hostel, they are all so so lovely. shkoder was such a great town to spend time in and i miss everyone and shkoder so much already!

This was my first experience with volunteering and I fear nothing will ever live up to it! I can't stress enough how much fun it was to be part of the hostel team. Rino was an amazing character in our time there and I believe we have made a friend for life with him. He went above and beyond to make sure our time there was a good experience. He took us on day trips and showed us the best spots in skhoder. We will definitely be back! We love you Rino! Hours were super flexible and work was easy, definitely recommend!

My friend and I stayed here for two weeks and it was the best experience ever! Rino was so so welcoming and we have made a friend for life. The work was so reasonable and it felt like a little family. Rino went above and beyond to make us feel at home and took us on loads of adventures. I highly recommend this to anyone! :))

I loved my time at the hostel. Rino is an amazing guy — super generous, always invested in your well-being, and always doing his best to ensure your time in Shkoder is enjoyable. The work is very easy (especially in the low season when the town gets very few tourists), but it gives you ample opportunity to explore Shkoder and relax. the hostel staff are also very nice and always willing to give you tips or advice for your stay in Albania. I will absolutely be coming back as a guest someday :).

Emma, thank you so much for all your help at the hostel!
You were always so organized and cheerful, and you truly brought a lot of positive energy to our place.
Bed Station is now your home in Albania — you’re always welcome back anytime.
I really hope our paths cross again in the future!

This experience was so lovely. Rino was the kindest host he was always willing to help in anyway he could and took us on many adventures. The town of Shkoder is pretty small and there is not really public transport, so during off-season it was definitely a bit slow. But if you're looking for a relaxed opportunity to meet locals, it's perfect.
