The Galley Party Hostel
Join The Galley Party Hostel Crew – Work, Explore, and Party in Shkoder!
Looking for an unforgettable experience in Northern Albania? Want to meet amazing people, explore the best of Shkoder, and be part of a hostel that thrives on adventure? We are creating Albania's first true party hostel and we are searching for outgoing, motivated volunteers who love socializing, take initiative, and know how to keep the good times rolling.
As part of our team, you’ll bring the energy, help lead daily activities, and make sure every night is one to remember. From helping as a party promoter on pub crawls creating an amazing atmosphere, you’ll play a key role in making guests feel welcome. You’ll also help with reception, keep the hostel clean and comfortable, and take part in our daily homemade group meal.
If you have a creative side, we have specialized roles for content creators, mural artists, event leads, adventure guides, and maintenance helpers. Whether you’re capturing wild moments for social media, painting murals, organizing events, leading hikes, or keeping things running smoothly, there’s always a way to put your skills to good use.
We’re looking for sociable, fun-loving team players who enjoy partying but also know how to keep things organized. While experience is a plus, it’s not required—we’ll show you the ropes. What matters most is a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and a willingness to contribute.
Solo travelers are preferred, though we sometimes accept pairs of friends. Unfortunately, we can’t take couples. We have 1 month minimum stay with us but also have a two-week probation period to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.
If this sounds like your kind of adventure, send us a quick message with your name, nationality, age, availability, and a few words about what you bring to the team. Keep it short and direct—we get a lot of applications!
Come join us and make this summer one to remember.
Drink, Connect, and Protect the Planet by The Galley Party Hostel
Hello! I'm Albano, a Shkoder native who is passionate about hostels and wanted to bring the best of European party hostels to my home country. Along with our staff Kieran, Eltion and Georgia, we have created a family of international travelers and life-time friends. We are not just a hostel, we are a home away from home, meaning most of our volunteers find it impossible to leave!
