Reception and general hostel care

Brasil

We had a great time and learned a lot at the hostel!!! alban and rahi were certainly the highlight of the experience - always welcoming, kind, understanding and flexible. about work, due to the low season and few guests, we ended up working on projects at the hostel (renovations and moving things from one place to another), instead of what we had applied to do, which ends up being a bit tiring and demotivating. obs: saranda is expensive and, as there are no meals included in the exchange, it's worth preparing the budget lol. thanks for everything and see you next time 🫶🏻

We came for photography/social media position but when we arrived they told as that we will be working in reception and cleaning. The work wasn't hard, specially cause it was low season. We left cause our travel plans changed but Saranda it's a beautiful place!!

Gracias Rahima por acompañarnos en esta nueva experiencia. Has sido muy paciente y nos has acogido muy bien desde el primer día 💖 Ciudad: En una semana te has visto todo lo que hay en Sarandë y alrededor. Los supermercados son caros. Las playas casi todas privadas. Voluntariado: tareas de limpieza diaria y hacer desahcer camas, deepcleans del hostal/jardín/trastero... No tuvimos tours y eventos gratis, clases de idiomas, cursos...Nos llevamos buenas amistades con los voluntarios y algúnos huespedes 😃 Gracias por recibirnos, un abrazo!

Albano and all the volunteers and guests made me feel very welcomed and safe. I met tons of really cool people through the hostel. The accommodation was fine, but not my favorite. The volunteer dorm was pretty dark and the cot I got to sleep on was ok but not the most comfortable. I was there in the off season so the work was mostly small renovations and improvements to the hostel. The work was really easy and I had tons of free time. I would have preferred a more consistent schedule but like I said it was the off season so the summer might be more structured. Overall it was a good experience.

Thank you for your remarks Sloan. We were quite happy with your work.
You should know that Yoda was adopted to a Shephard in Finiq and Genci to Lukova. Thank you for not letting them eat our neighbor.
Those dogs were saved on a hike a year ago from a volunteer (@Jesus) like you that stayed for just a few weeks here and left us with 3 thirsty feisty mountain dogs. Its true we have our cultural differences but you need to know that the idiom "Rain cats and dogs" its a reality here twice a year.
As far as structure goes, if you thought that was chaotic, come visit us in summer. :D it will give you perspective!
Anyway we did try our best to give you a good first volunteer experience.
Better luck in the future.
Thanks again!

Beyond amazing! From the very beginning you understand why this place has so many perfect reviews. The whole experience is outstanding and you really feel like a volunteer helping the owner with all the interesting projects he is running in the hostel. About Albano, he is one of those great individuals you meet once in a lifetime. He is an amazing host and very committed to his business and projects. About Sarande, it's a blessing. This place is beautiful no matter what time of the year. I completely recommend this experience to all my beloved volunteers!

It was an unforgettable month for me. Alban is an amazing person and the volunteers are also amazing and without a doubt whenever I can I would like to come back as a volunteer or even as a guest. This experience was unforgettable for me and for sure everyone who was part of this month has a special place in my heart.

El anfitrion (Albano) es una exelente persona, siempre esta presto a ayudar cuando uno le pide favores, es muy flexible, y siempre esta para responder las preguntas e inquietudes, de buen humor y muy amable, el hostal es grande y bonito, con zonas de descanso y juegos para compartir buenos momentos. Albania es un pais hermoso como lo es Sarande, lleno de personas amables. Gracias por permitirme ser parte del equipo, de lejos ha sido mi mejor experiencia como WorldPacker.

El hostel es grande, tienes espacio para divertirte, las habitaciones también son espaciosas, unos días trabajaba en el proyecto del jardín y otros en recepción, teniendo un buen equipo de compañeros podíamos tener limpio y ordenado. Albano que es el dueño organizaba reuniones o salidas grupales a menudo, entonces podíamos conocer lugares no tan conocidos, en definitiva un excelente lugar.
