Lots of free time whilst staying here! The owner was super accommodating, friendly and nice, helping out whenever he could and giving tips on where to get and what to do. Worked everyday from 9am ish till 1pm ish, leaving the entire afternoon and evening free for going to the beach and doing activities!

The hostel is a wonderful destination to immerse yourself in Albania and a variety of cultures. I highly recommend this experience for individuals who enjoy typical hostel tasks, helping clean, organize, and overall improving accommodations. More guidance from the hosts at the start, as to what was expected from me would have been helpful. The hosts assisted in navigating the area and welcomed all like family. I am very thankful for my experience, with the ability to explore, learn more about other perspectives, expanding my life knowledge and about the hostel business.

We truly enjoyed having Rachel with us and spending time together. The fact that she woke up so early and had already tidied things up while we were still asleep shows how much she cares about what she does. She’s hardworking, social, and knows how to enjoy life. She brought great value to our place, and we're really happy to have met her.

Gjergji and Deniz were great hosts. It is a very cozy hostel with a homely atmosphere. The tasks were very easy and basically self explanatory. Himarë is a beautiful place with amazing beaches and friendly locals. Would definitely recommend for anyone ✌

My experience at the hostel was amazing! The hosts Gjergji, Chris and Deniz were so welcoming and made it feel like home! It was the off season so the work was very minimal. Mainly laundry, cleaning rooms and setting up rooms for guests. A lot of time was spent socialising with guests, other volunteers and exploring Himara. This was my first worldpackers experience and it was the perfect first time. Thank again to the hostel and everyone there for making this such a special experience! I hope to be back one day!

We had a wonderful time working with Mia during the three weeks she spent with us. Even though it was the off-season, she was a huge help in getting things ready for the new season. We truly hope she visits Himare again during one of the upcoming summer seasons — we'd be so happy to have her back with us!

My first volunteering experience was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better one! Gjiergji is incredible person and kind soul, I found out many interesting stories about Albania, he made me feel like at home. Work was super simple : cleaning main kitchen,cleaning bathrooms, making beds, doing laundry. I was connect with nature every day, make friends from all over the world. If you're looking for an experience near the beach with great waves I highly recommend this one!

We're so happy to have met Kinga. We already miss the cookies she made with Mia :) Hopefully, our paths will cross again sometime in the future.

My time spent at the hostel was fantastic! Gjergji is a very kind and generous host who provides the best advice for enjoying your time in Albania. The hostel is cozy and sharing a room with the other amazing volunteers was such a fun experience. Given I was there during off-season, there wasn't much work required, but when there was, it was super simple: changing beds, cleaning rooms, and doing laundry. Gjergji is kind enough to provide bikes as well so exploring the seaside and mountains is very doable. I will miss the cats, dogs, natural beauty, and people of Himarë so much!

It was such a pleasure working with Sadie. She helped us get the hostel ready for the new season. We also want to thank her for the books she left behind — they’ve now found a home in our little library! :)

Gjergi was an incredibly kind and attentive host. I especially highlight his willingness to make the stay as comfortable as possible. Without a doubt, I recommend volunteering here to enjoy both the nature and the sea. The place has everything you need to feel at home, and Gjergi makes sure of that. Regarding the daily tasks, I was responsible for cleaning rooms, bathrooms, hallways, and more, which was easy to do since everything you need is provided. I truly enjoyed my stay, and without a doubt, it's a place I would gladly return to. Thank you so much for everything, Gjergi :)

It's my first experience volunteering, and everything was perfect. I had a low season, with few guests, and there was not much homework, but Gjergji has very kindly indicated all the tasks to us. I highlight Gjergji as a great host, one day off he took the volunteers for a walk and taught us about Himara. Thanks for everything! I'll be back soon :)

The hostel was my first volunteering experience, and it was lovely! Deniz and Gjergji were kind and clear about every task, which were mainly cleaning. The schedule was respected and everything was transparent. Himarë is beautiful, but keep in mind that in low season the town is really quiet—many places are closed, buses aren't reliable, and everything runs on cash. Still, I'm grateful for the experience and would recommend it to volunteers looking for peace, nature, and good vibes.
