Volunteering at the hotel was truly unforgettable. I would highly recommend this place, especially for the first time volunteers. The work hours were respected. The tasks were straightforward and easy to manage. I shared the accommodation with 6 other amazing volunteers :) As the host, Ilias was always able to provide help and supplies for the accommodation when needed. His brother, girlfriend and the rest of his family were always kind, welcoming and also provided help. Himarë itself is a beautiful place worth exploring, with very kind and welcoming locals. Thank you Ilias🫶

My time volunteering at the hotel was really great. Ilias, Costa, and all his family are super kind and welcoming. The work hours, split into morning and afternoon shifts, are always respected, and the tasks are easy and clear. The host also provide two meals a day. Himarë is a small seaside town that I absolutely loved. I enjoyed the proximity to the beautiful sea, the tranquility of the place, and the hospitality of the people. The shared apartment with the other volunteers is also very close to both the sea and the hotel, making everything very convenient. Thank you ❤️

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.
