This was my first volunteering experience and has genuinely been one of the best months of my life. I had the most amazing time with the best people, I have genuinely made friends for life. The work was very reasonable and because the vibe was so great it was usually genuinely fun. I liked that there was some flexibility with shifts to be able to do the things I was better at. There was great support within the team and opportunities to try new things. The staff accommodation and food was great. But the best thing was really the atmosphere. I love you guys, wish I could've extended :(

I honestly had the best time at the hostel! It was a very social hostel, and I loved meeting people from all over the world. the hostel really created such a loving community that I enjoyed. The work was very fun to do and manageable! Mike was open to exchanging feedback which I really appreciated - I'd highly recommend this experience :)

I'm writing this review as I'm packing my bags to go hiking - and even tho I'll be back in a few days to say a proper goodbye, I already dread leaving. Over the last month, this hostel has become and been my home. the hostel is Strawpedos, Beer Bongs and Raki Shots, it's getting drunk with strangers turned to friends during the various day activities, but most of all it's family. There's always someone around to help you, be it employed staff or the other volunteers: the team spirit is really THE BEST! Would 100% recommend if you're up to the hostel day and night with the coolest people alive!

My time in the hostel was truly amazing! The manager and the staff were extremely welcoming, they immediately made me feel like part of the team. The work is really easy flexible and well communicated, you can also use the bikes for free which gives you the opportunity to explore shkoder and its surroundings. Albania is truly a magical country, with its unique nature and hikes. Parties are really fun, even tho it was still low season, and you'll never lack raki. I'm really grateful to had the opportunity to be the part of this experience and team, I've met amazing people and I'll be back!<3

If you want to really embrace the drinking culture of games, beer bongs and strawpedos then this is the place for you! From a personal perspective, it lacked the balance that I desire as a traveller in terms of sobriety and non alcohol related group activities. I felt there was some inconsistency with addressing things quickly and effectively to improve the experience for both volunteers and guests. This place has great potential and will be the highlight for some and I enjoy the tsmall Albanian community that are present as it really elevates the cultural experience.

I had such an amazing month at the hostel!! the hostel is lovely and there is a strong sense of community among the staff, the volunteers, and the guests. The work is very simple, especially as I was there towards the end of the season. Shkoder is such a beautiful city and the job allows for lots of free time to explore. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anybody looking to meet lots of new people, drink lots of raki, and explore all that Shkodër has to offer :)))

I would 1000% recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys both lots of social time as well as lots of opportunities to escape and be one with nature. Albania is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen and I'm forever grateful to have been able to have spent a month here. Working at the hostel was an absolute pleasure. Tasks and shifts were always very clear, and I especially loved getting to lead daily activities. Thank you to Albano for making this opportunity possible for me and to all the amazing people I met in Shkoder along the way.

The hostel has been an amazing volunteer experience, so much that I doubled the length of my stay from what I originally committed to. If you want to work somewhere that feels like a home away from home, this is the place. The rest of the volunteers feel like my family and I seriously think that this hostel gets the best guests in the world staying here. It's never a dull day so even the days that you're on shift go by quickly. Kieran and Albano are the best and I've loved working for them for the last 6 weeks❤️
