    No A/C and some mosquitoes at night, but they provide spray. Hens get noisy early in the morning.

    Amazing hostel with super friendly staff. There are animals everywhere and fresh fruit to pick in the garden — such a unique atmosphere! Only a 15-minute walk from the city center.

    The light at night that guests left in the kitchen. So it was too bright in our chalet !

    We loved the relationship with Fatima, she is incredibly friendly and she loves to get to know people !

    The owner was lovely. She was so hospitable; it was as though we had been invited off the streets as guests and just looked after. It didn’t feel as though we were paying customers. The surroundings of the property were also beautiful with lots of fruit producing trees. Breakfast was amazing with fresh eggs produced by her chickens that morning. So many nice things to say about this place.

    There was no ventilator in the room and I booked it, because in the description it was written that there is one. Therefore it was till 12 at night really hot in the room

    The lady is incredibly nice and helpful. I felt being in good hands. It is a safe place and like it should be in a hostel, I met nice people from all over the world. I am very grateful that I got breakfast, because this is really seldom in Albania. Thanks a lot for the nice time I spent there.

    It was such a wonderful time here, we could just sit forever in this beautiful garden, watching the chickens, cats etc. It was so peaceful. And the breakfast was unbelievably good. And then our host was so nice, she even brought us the bus station and waited with us for the bus. We really want to come back some day!

    This is a great place to stay if you are looking for local experience. We loved the place, garden with fruits and vegetables, chickens, goat, cats. The room was nice and clean, bathroom as well. There is common external kitchen, with small portable stoves, pots are available. The owner, lady, was very nice and welcoming, "mum like" ;) The breakfast was delicious, egg,fig jam, goat cheese, bread, all of it homemade! We had a parking spot inside in the garden. There is not much around, but you get to the city by walking in 30mins and the closest good restaurant (Antika) is 15mins walking. We had a really nice experience staying at this place. Thank you!

    This is my second time I have stayed at this hostel for consecutive days. One would think that any place would lose its magic by the second time around but, quite to the contrary, this place never fails to impress. Although there may not be such a thing as a perfect hostel, this one comes pretty close.

    The location is outside the city, in a local neighborhood, which I actually like. The owner, who reminds me of my mum, kindly gave me warm pajamas when I ran out of clothes.

    A bit away from the center but a peaceful place. openly said: Elbasan is not worth more than a day - if you don't have a car to see the surrounding area.

    The kitchen and its facilities should be a bit more taken care of.

    The hosting lady was very flexible as I booked the place late in the evening in offseason and so despite being a bit unprepared for my visit, she did everything to feel in comfort. So I didn't need to share the dorm with anyone, as I was totally alone. Thank you for the chance! :) The bathroom and the dorm were both very clean!

    The room was not en suite. No heating. Although, at least at this time of the year, the blankets provided were more than enough. No TV. I personally see this as a big plus but others may think otherwise. Cash only.

    As per other guests' reviews, this is actually a homestay. My room was big and comfortable. I was also able to get it completely dark for a good night's sleep. The location, although relatively far from the center, also made it all very quiet. Simple but excellent organic breakfast. The host was very friendly and helpful.
