The owner is good person, same for the staff. the hostel area is very nice, location is 10 out of 10. They're also very flexible. However, communication and organization could definitely use some improvement. A lot of details may bring every day surprises that shouldnt exist. Its one of those places they just rely a lot on short term volunteers to do everything themselves, which in my opinion is counting on lucky and not best approach. Good place after all, I recommend them.

My experience was amazing! Rino was a great host. He took us under his wing as if we were family and showed us the best parts of shkoder whenever he could. It is a good place to volunteer if you are looking for a chill, fun and warm environment. It is a small group of volunteers which gives you the opportunity to get to know each other really well. the hostel staff is also great and so nice. Love everyone I had the chance to work and live with.❤️

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 :).

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.

Rino was so great and the work was easy. The only thing to note is there isn't a lot of public transit. But I had a great time and I loved it!

This hostel is truly one of a kind. Its facilities are great and it really does feel like a second home! During off-season it is quiet but the host does plan some parties so if you go, make sure to enjoy those fully!! If not, take the time to relax and enjoy the nature on your days off, it is beautiful. Rino made everything so much better, he took care of me and made sure I was comfortable with anything I needed. Thank you for letting me stay over and get to know you, I will be back to Albania!!

I really recommend to do this volunteering!

Having Maira volunteer at Bed Station was an absolute pleasure and a true stroke of luck. She wasn’t just helpful—she was unexpectedly amazing. A natural organizer, she brought a sense of structure and calm that transformed our space. The practical systems she put in place are still part of our daily routine, and we continue to benefit from her thoughtful work. I’m deeply grateful for everything she contributed, and I truly hope our paths cross again very soon.
