Antea was an amazing manager, she resolved the problems when we had some! She's worried about volunteers; the tasks are so easy, the hostel is cozy and the main of the guests were such amazing! Durres is a nice place to visit, the beach is very close and the food prices are convenient!

My weeks at the hostel were incredible. Antea is wonderful and takes great care of all the volunteers. The work is exactly as described, and shifts are flexible among volunteers. The hostel is in a wonderful location, right in the central square and very close to the beach. I loved the city and I'm sure that volunteering here had a big influence on that. When I return to Durres, I will definitely come back here to visit everyone again!

I really enjoyed my time at Hostel Durrës. Antea made everything super easy to understand from day one, and the atmosphere with the other volunteers was always respectful and friendly. The work and the schedule were fair and flexible, allowing us to explore around and work remotely without any issues. Thanks Antea for making it such a good experience!

My experience at the hostel Durrës was excellent. I had the chance to work alongside amazing volunteers and learned a lot about front desk reception. I'm truly grateful for the opportunity and the great atmosphere during my stay. Thank you for everything!
