I had a fantastic stay at Emily's hotel! The coastal town of Himarë is incredibly beautiful—peaceful and not too crowded with tourists. The work was easy since the hotel doesn't have many rooms. We volunteers were left to organize the shifts among ourselves, which i apreciated. Our rooms had a fridge, private bathroom, and access to a kitchen, plus Sokrati provided basic groceries. Breakfast and lunch were made for us by the lovely housekeeper, Notche. Communication wasn't always easy due to the language barrier, but we managed. Overall a great experience - i would love to come back!

I had an amazing experience volunteering at Emily's Hotel! Himara is a beautiful town, and the location of the hotel couldn't be better, right in front of the sea, with stunning sunset views every evening. The tasks were fair and Sokrati was always available to help with anything we needed. Our bedroom was super comfortable, and we had delicious meals every day, thanks to Noche's cooking! I truly recommend this place to any volunteer looking for a chill spot at the beach.

I've loved my experience here volunteering at Emily's! This was my first volunteer experience and I couldn't have asked for a better one. The host Sokrati is very friendly and makes sure the stay is comfortable and enjoyable! The work is pretty straightforward and fair while the hotel is steps from the sea! I will miss Emily's so much & would recommend this opportunity to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in Albania. Faleminderit shumë Sokrati!

Spending one month working at Emily's Hotel was one of the best experiences of my travels. The Hotel is in the most amazing location on a stunning beach, and the volunteer room and amenities are all really nice. Sokrati was a wonderful host. He was very generous and kind, always making sure we felt comfortable and had lots of food. The hotel also has the sweetest cleaner noce, who made us delicious meals. The work itself is super straight forward and the hours are very respected. It felt like home away from home and I already miss it. Thanks so much Sokrati, I can't wait to come back!

Himare is a beautiful coastal town. I had such a lovely experience with the other volunteers - there's typically 2-3 of you there at one time. There is other staff members who clean and cook and Noce is an amazing cook. The work was extremely simple and there was plenty of time for you to do your own thing. Sokrati is a very generous person and always tried to make us comfortable and help if we needed something. However, sometimes communication was tricky and we would be contacted outside of our reception hours like at 9pm. If you want to relax by the beach, Himare is the place for you.
