I spend one month at the hostel, and I had such a wonderful time. The surrounding nature is absolutely beautiful and you have a lot of time to go on hikes. The work is easy and consistent. Be prepared for a lot of peace and connecting with nature during your stay here! Thank you to Gaz, the hostel and Fariah for welcoming me with open arms! I hope to return someday! :)

I had an incredible experience with the guesthouse. Gaze and his family are such wonderful people. Valbonë is truly stunning and has some incredible hikes. An amazing place to rest and recharge. I was there for a month and the food was always amazing. They care so much about their guest and volunteer experience. Very comfortable accommodation. Cannot rate them highly enough.

I'm so grateful for this experience! the hostel, Faria, and Gaz are incredibly warm and kind people, and I felt comfortable at the guesthouse very quickly. The work is straightforward with a few hours in the mornings and evenings, leaving the days free to explore hikes around beautiful Valbonë. It's clear a lot of love has gone into their business and it was a pleasure to be a part of - I'd return in a heartbeat!

My time volunteering at the guesthouse with the hostel family was something truly special. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed not just as a visitor or volunteer, but as a daughter. The warmth, the kindness, the laughter, the food (!!), the slow rhythm of life here — it all created a space where I could breathe deeply, live intentionally, and connect with people in the most genuine way. The work was clear and fair, and I had lots of time to enjoy the beauty of the valley and hike. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Fariah, the hostel, Gazi and Ana ❤️‍🔥

My experience as a volunteer at the mountain guest house was exceptional✨️. From the first moment, I felt like I was part of the family, surrounded by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. All the members of the family are so sweet💕. Also, the views were breathtaking, making every day special. The tasks assigned to me were fair and respected at all times, allowing me to enjoy plenty of free time to explore nature through amazing hikes. This combination of work and time to enjoy the surroundings made my experience unforgettable. Without a doubt, a place I hope to return to.Highly recommended to go☺
