I had a great time staying in Himarë and working at the hotel! The work is very chill and easy and the agreements are respected (hours, food). If you are looking for a laid back position in a beautiful small beach town I'd recommend!

I loved spending a month in Himarë and working at the hotel with Ilias and Costas. The shifts (9-2/3-8) alternated weekly and the work was very easy with Ilias always a phone call away to help when needed. I also enjoyed the local home-cooked meals I got whilst working and the air-conditioned accomodation which I shared with 2 other lovely volunteers that I would hang out with in my free time. If you enjoy small beach towns, working autonomously and have no problem greeting and chatting with guests, then I think you will have no regrets volunteering here.

My time in Himarë and at the hotel was amazing! I could not recommend this experience enough! Ilias is a wonderful host and makes sure you are well taken care of! The work is simple and hours are respected. You stay a 10 minute walk away from the hotel with other volunteers, and have two meals a day.

Being a volunteer in the hotel was a great experience! The job is very chill and the hours and tasks are always respected. Ilias and Kostas are very nice, friendly and respectful and are always willing to help. The facility where the volunteers stay is not at the hotel, it's a 10 minute walk from it, but it's not a problem at all. It's a new and good place, with a great view to the sea. Also, it is a 3 min walk to the closest beach. Himarë is a very small village but it has amazing beaches and landscapes. We also get a free boat tour. I loved my time there and I totally recommend!

This was a great first volunteer experience! Ilias was welcoming and accommodating during my stay. The receptionist work was chill and easy to learn, the 5 hours a day was reasonable and the meals (or allowance towards a meal) provided by his family on my shifts was great. While there wasn't a lot of information provided for what to do during the shift, Ilias or his brother was always around to help/a phone call away if I was confused. The accommodation I provided in was clean with ocean views, right by the beach.
