I am very grateful for the experience, I learned a lot during my stay. I met wonderful people and had a great time in the city. I took care of the kitten since the day she arrived, so I will miss her dearly. There is so much to explore around Shkodër, you will for sure have fun.

I spent almost 3 incredible months there . A couple of things I would like to say about Erjon, one of the owners, sometimes he can be difficult and can get aggressive if something is not done like he ask, also puts the guest over the volunteer. if I'm working 36hs weekly I would like to receive a little bit of back support. My last night there he asked if I could sleep in the sofa or in a tent cuz the hostel overbooked. I think u have to attempt on that way. The rest of the team and staff was very supportive. María,Asad Durim hope to meet you again! Amazing city & nearby♡

This hostel is a great place and would be perfect for volunteers looking for a slower and quieter exchange rather than more social one. At the time I was there, there were 3 other volunteers but they did not interact with the guests which was unexpected and I felt isolated from them when I would be socialising with guests and they would be doing their own thing. The hosts are wonderful and very kind, but are extremely busy running day trips. However the hostel is safe and comfortable and the work is easy just my experience of the volunteers at the time was unlike any I have encountered before.
