I had a great experience in the hostel, we were able to explore the city on our days off, the working hours were always respected and the tasks were easy. Fatima was very kind to us, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast everyday and sharing time with her family as well, overall we felt very comfortable during our stay. We would only recommend to have an ac since the room can get very cold at times.

I spent almost a month helping Eduart with content creation. He is kind, attentive, highly knowledgeable about Albania, and full of energy, you will love to meet him if he gets some free time. the hostel is quite cold, and you can't pay anything by card, so make sure to bring some local cash (lek). Buses only depart once they are full, so don't rely on the system to be punctual. I believe the experience might be better in the summer. Internet is ok. Fatima is lovely and always willing to help with anything you need, her husband as well. Thank you for the experience. Adorable family. xx

I had an amazing experience in the hostel. Only i didn't give 5 star because, sometimes the communication with the host is a little bit messy sometimes , because i don't speak albania and she speaks a little bit English. All with all Fatima is an amazing host and if you like a peaceful garden to relax in this is a good place for you :)

Eduart is a great host, my partner, Will had an amazing time with him and his family. Unfortunately I could not make it due to personal reasons but I hope I can visit one day!

My time in the hostel was wonderful! the hostel is a beautiful, family-run hostel nestled in the heart of the hostel, surrounded by mountains. It became a place where I could truly relax, recharge, and take time for personal activities that often get lost in the busyness of backpacking. From the moment I entered, I felt at home. Fatima, the heart and soul of the hostel, was a wonderful host who treated me like family. I contributed to the development of their website. Although Eduart was not on-site as frequently as anticipated, he communicated his needs effectively!! 100% recommend!
