The hostel was my first volunteering experience and I couldn't have made a better choice! The work is relaxed, the volunteers are committed and the hostel has an incredible international vibe. It has been great fun to spend three weeks with them, they have taken us to discover hidden areas in and around Himarë that we would never have known without living with locals. All the people I have met are wonderful and I miss them already!

I had an amazing time here, would recommend it to any traveller. There's lots of volunteers and always someone to socialise with. The work is very manageable and there's lots of free time. Himare is beautiful and there are plenty of day trips you can do as well. The owners were helpful and kind and always available for any questions.

It was my first time volunteering, and I couldn't have chosen a better place!! The owners are constantly attentive and really care about you, and they also get involved in organizing activities. The work is easy and manageable, and I met so many wonderful people that I will never forget. I hope to come back someday!

Volunteering at the hostel was a great experience! They show a lot of care for you here, the work was easy and the environment was very warm and welcoming. All the volunteers became one big family and it was such a special time in my travels! Theres plenty of time to explore the beautiful Himare and the owners are always willing to help with suggestions or plans. I would come back again for sure.

I had a wonderful time at the hostel. It was the first hostel I've volunteered at, and it exceeded my expectations in many ways. I met so many lovely people, both volunteers and guests, and truly felt like part of the community. Being by the sea and in beautiful Albania is just an added bonus :)
