I had the best time here! The staff and volunteers are amazing. We had so much fun. I ended up staying longer just because I couldn't bring myself to leave. The work is fair and the hours are respected. I highly recommend 👌 thank you all for having me. I'll miss you! ❤️

My experience was absolutely amazing, the hostel is well located in the heart of tirana, the space offered to the volunteers is super comfortable and the food is delicious. The managers and other volunteers are lovely and I didn't hesitate asking everytime that I needed help. The work is easy and the instructions are clear. I'm greatful for my time in Tirana's Backpackers Hostel and all the real connections I made there. Movie nights, bonfires and games nights will always be in my memories ❤️ I'll miss a lot my little family in Tirana!

Tirana Backpackers is a hostel that feels like home, it was filled with a contagious warmth that helped keep me cozy during European winter. I really enjoyed the work, offering to cover people's shifts because I wanted to. Don't be afraid of the morning shift , getting to walk to the local bakery and market to pick up fresh produce for breakfast was fun. The managers and other volunteers were all very lovely, Having movie nights and campfires we made the most of the off-season. The hostel made me fall in love with Tirana, It was very hard to leave, felt like I was saying goodbye to family.

The hotel is cozy, and the location is excellent! It's a great place to meet new people, and I had a lot of fun during my stay. Illir and Kris are amazing people! However, the communication with the fixed volunteers could have been better, as it often felt passive-aggressive. These are details that can be improved to make the experience even better.

Working at the hostel in Tirana was an awesome experience for me! The hostel itself is so lovely and cozy, I felt at home very fast. The other volunteers are nice and it was easy for me to social and to explore the city with my new found friends! Sometimes the communication lacked a bit, or was passive aggressive. And the room stayed in wasn't as I imagined. Other volunteers liked the room a lot though. So personal opinions do vary. All over it was an lovely experience, and I'll miss the city and the people with my whole heart!
