My month spent volunteering at the hotel was an experience I'll never forget. They do such a fantastic job of creating a warm and welcoming environment in an already cozy town. I worked with Arta in the restaurant serving breakfast, and the work was balanced and fulfilling. I got to try Arta's PHENOMENAL cooking and enjoyed meals cooked by Mosa as well. Bebi, Nisa, Mosa and Alma were also so friendly and welcoming, and helped me with everything I needed. The town itself is gorgeous, even in autumn. There's endless nature and history to explore. Already daydreaming about coming back!

I really enjoyed my time at the hotel working in the reception. The tasks were very simple and if you had any questions communication between hosts and other staff was very clear. Himarë is a beautiful town and I hope to be back one day!

My experience was truly special. I met amazing people and shared unforgettable moments that I will always treasure. Arta and Bebi were kind and flexible, and working with Arta was a pleasure, she's full of energy and always supportive. I worked serving breakfast, which was simple but busier during high season. Himara, with its stunning beaches and relaxed atmosphere, made the experience even more memorable. I enjoyed the sea, explored breathtaking places, and created memories that will stay with me forever. I am so grateful and I highly recommend this experience!

My time in the hotel was great. The family is very kind and welcoming, the food is very good, Himare is beautiful, and the tasks and working hours were always respected. I also had the chance to meet amazing volunteers, which made the experience even more special. During my first week i fell ill, and Bebi and Arta kindly provided me with medicine and the time i needed to recover. The only aspect that could be improved is the organization regarding volunteers' accommodation, as there was an overlapping situation during my stay. Anyway, i'll be forever grateful for this experience. 💫
