What an experience. Gurti has been a wonderful host from start to finish. All the staff were amazing people, and working with them was enjoyable. Whenever i needed to travel around, needed advices or tips Gurti was here for me and the rest of the team. The surroundings are beautiful and exploring is accessible easily. I will deeply miss everyone i met there, i really feel lucky to have lived such a beautiful experience.

It was a very nice experience to do volunteer work in the hotel. The job was super easy at the reception, the tasks were clearly explained. The shared room with other volunteer mates was comfortable. Beaches, shops and restaurants were close in walking distance. In our free time, we had plenty of time to discover the surrounding, we even went on a speed boat trip and rented a car to visit the wonderful cities on the south. I am grateful to meet such nice people from around the world, and happy that I could practice English with native speakers.

The hotel is perfect if you're looking for a very relaxed experience. Most days were work, beach and yoga. The location is perfect for a relaxed vibe as it is a little out of town but easy to manage by bus or can always hitch a ride with Gerti if the timing works. The accom is basic. What made it was working with the team. They made you feel so welcomed and appreciated. The work is very manageable and someone is always around to help. Hours were always respected and Gerti even helped me out a couple times to accomodate my schedule. I already miss the hotel family <3

Volunteering here was a dream. The property is stunning, the work enjoyable, and the host went above and beyond—offering rides into town, sharing local gems, and creating space for deep conversations about Albanian history, politics, and anthropology. He even gave me the chance to test a business idea, and offered insight and empowerment on that journey which meant so much. Making connections with other volunteers was an absolute highlight as well. This experience made Vlorë feel like home, and I'll always be grateful for the time spent here.

It's a great experience if you're looking for your first volunteer experience. The tasks are simple, the breakfast is really delicious, and it's a very comfortable place to work and study. Thank you, Gerti, and the entire the hotel team! :)
