Berat Backpackers / Maya Hostel / Helins Hostel

We run three hostels here in Berat - the vision we hold for our hostels is to create a beautiful, friendly, social atmosphere and space for both guests and volunteers! We prioritize socializing and positive interactions and to help achieve our aims we run multiple social events, multiple times a week - all of which you are encouraged to join (for either free or half price).
We offer FREE ACCOMODATION and FREE BREAKFAST throughout your time with us!
The work we ask from you is not difficult or strenuous. If you're a happy, like-minded individual looking to join our team and help create the best experience for our guests, please apply!

Here at our hostels we try our best to create a team that feels like a family - we frequently have family dinners, visit restaurants together and spend our days off exploring new places/cities together! Respect is a big thing for us and we believe if we treat our staff well and make sure they are happy here working with us it radiates through to guests - which we love and appreciate a lot! The owner Miri works alongside his sister in law and mother (who helps with the housekeeping) aswell as Courtney, the manager from England. As a gesture of appreciate for hard work (and 5 positive reviews left mentioning your name) you can join one of our exciting tours for free!) such as: rafting, waterfall and canyon tour, wine tour - the choice is yours!

It is hard to put in words how this experience affected me. Truly, i could not imagine a better place to volunteer. Berat is just a jewellery box in the middle of Albania, Berat Backpackers and the two sister hostels embody everything I looked forward to. The community is fantastic, I really felt just right from the moment I have arrived. Peace, deep connections, “work-life balance”, opportunities and a lot more. Falimenderit Miri and Berat! I could not say goodbye just a see you later.

I wish I could recommend this host since my experience there was amazing with everyone at the hostel up until the host decided to end my stay with no prior notice and refused to talk about it or give any explanation.
Had to leave one day to the othet after having only been there one week and having spent so much to get there.
Host was completely unbothered and acted very inconsiderate about this and didn't even acknowledge me as having ever been part of the team.
Very unfortunate since everything else about this experience, from the place to the other volunteers was amazing.

It was an excellent experience! Edmir is very welcoming. There are different events every night at the hostel, which makes it a great place to connect with other guests and volunteers. I met amazing people there. The activities were very easygoing, and the shifts were exactly as agreed. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!

Julia was an absolute ray of sunshine during her time with us! Her sweet personality and constant positive energy brought so much joy to the hostel. She connected with the guests, created a welcoming atmosphere, and was always ready to help with a big smile. Julia took initiative, worked hard, and added a truly special vibe to the team. We're so grateful for her time here and she’ll always have a home with us in Berat. Highly recommended to anyone lucky enough to host her next!

Passei três semanas no hostel. Na verdade são 3 hostels e você pode ter que colaborar em um deles ou em diferentes. As atividades são agendadas e às vezes não muito claras. Foi uma boa experiência e o hostel sempre oferece atividades para entreter os hóspedes e os voluntários podem participar. A cidade é pequena e com poucas atividades para fazer, então, se prepare para estar em um lugar tranquilo.

I did have a really great time in Berat and loved the social atmosphere and other volunteers at Mayas, Backpackers and Helins (you will be at all 3). My only qualm is that we weren't trained very well and it kind of felt like we were just making it up as we went. Communication from the owner could have been better too, it felt very passive. We were also watched through the security cameras which felt a bit uncomfortable.
