Had an incredible first time volunteer experience at the hostel. So grateful for such a wonderful team and all the other volunteers which turned into the best friendships. The Hostel quickly felt like home and made it hard to leave. My time in Himarë will always be remembered for all the laughs and karaoke. The work was very straightforward and easy, leaving you lots of time to explore and take part in different activities!! Thankyou the hostel!!

My first volunteer and it exceeded my expectations! I loved my time at the hostel and felt so welcomed by all staff/volunteers. I felt constant support and ongoing appreciation. The shift times were great and the roster was in advance, being flexible to ensure Himare was explored through the tours! The work was straightforward, fun and manageable and lunch was included, it really felt like family time. The vibes were always high and there was equal opportunity to socialise and chill! I fell unwell but was supported which was so kind. I made lovely connections with

I had the best time ever! Met some people that I will never forget and formed beautiful friendships, you do really become a huge family at the hostel. Himara is so beautiful and there is so much to do and see. The work is so manageable and easy for the things you get in return such as a free breakfast and lunch everyday.

I enjoyed volunteering at the hostel so much! Mikel and Gjergji are great managers and really kind people. Every day we had family lunch which was so wholesome and brought everyone together. This is a very social hostel so you will love it if you're looking to meet lots of new people and have fun. You can also bike to the beach in about 5 minutes and they always have bikes to borrow! Thanks for everything :)

The hostel was my first volunteering experience and I absolutely loved it! There was roughly 12 volunteers when I was there and we all got along so well, such a lovely group of girls! You work 4 hours a day with a couple of days off - either 11am-3pm, 3pm-7pm or 7pm-11pm - which gives you plenty of time to head to the main beach or explore other beaches around. The tasks are straight forward and very manageable. Mikel will also let you swap your shift if there's an activity on that you want to do. All in all I loved my time at the hostel and would definitely recommend!
