I originally booked 3 nights and ended up staying 14 – that should already say it all. This hostel truly felt like home. Sergio and his amazing team – Rachele, Alica and Noa – made the experience unforgettable. There’s nature, warmth and comfort everywhere. Dinners are a highlight, and I’ll really miss the fresh juice at breakfast. Plus, it’s just a 5-minute walk to the best beach in Himara. Thank you so much – I’m leaving with this hostel in my heart ❤️❤️ Sips of rakia 🇦🇷🥂🇦🇱 Gezuar, Cheers and Salud

I had a fantastic stay at Natural Hostel. It is a super friendly, relaxed place where you can meet other travellers and have a fantastic time. The homemade dinners and drinks are a great chance to share stories, often descending into karaoke and lots of laughs if you are interested! The food is great, the vibe is chilled, and Sergio is an all-around legend who will go out of his way to help you out. The volunteers were also extremely friendly. A 10/10, no doubt! I extended my stay as a result!

This hostel is an absolute gem! From the moment you arrive, Sergio, the host, welcomes you like an old friend, instantly making you feel at home. His warmth, along with the wonderful volunteers, creates an atmosphere that’s vibrant and inviting. As soon as you step in, you’re greeted with a refreshing glass of homemade fruit juice—a perfect touch that sets the tone for the entire stay. This isn’t just a place to sleep; it’s a cozy dinner hostel where the food is nothing short of spectacular. You’ll need to let them know if you prefer vegetarian or non-vegetarian dishes when you arrive, but trust me, every bite is delicious. The dorms are equally impressive, with comfy mattresses and spotless linens that make for a restful night. The beach is just a stone’s throw away, and Sergio’s insider tips will guide you to some of the most breathtaking beaches in the area. Each morning, you’re treated to a lovingly prepared breakfast that feels like a warm hug to start your day. As someone who often stays in hotels for work, I can say this place feels like a home away from home—far from the usual impersonal experience. I can’t recommend this hostel enough. It’s a haven of hospitality, great food, and genuine connection, thanks to Sergio’s incredible charm and care.

The dinner was amazing, along with the homemade juices and healthy breakfast! The staff was so kind and bubbly, Sergio the owner is super kind! The rooms were clean and air conditioned, which was amazing in August heat! People staying there were much friendlier than at other hostels I’ve stayed at too.

Location, vibe and general character of it.

The staff was amazing, the facilities were reliable.

Perfect. Sergio is the best host I have met in Europe. He is very kind, fun, and generous. Even though his hostel was always packed, he always found a way to accommodate guests. All of the volunteers are just as amazing. The hostel has a great family vibe, especially because of the family dinner. You can find the best food in town at this hostel, Sergio is an artist in all ways of life. People come from all over to join his dinner.

Welcome home - a warm hug is how I’d describe this hostel. Beautiful cooked dinners are shared daily where you can enjoy a delicious homemade meal with your new friends. I felt like a local of Himarë - a charming summer holiday hostel that you won’t want to leave ( I Came for 2 days and stayed for 4). The hosts are caring, facilities great (you’ll never want to shower indoors again), and the location is off the beaten path but only a short walk to beaches and everything you need.

Possibly one of the best hostels I have stayed in. Serxhio was a true gent! Made me feel at home right away and nothing was an issue with him. Loved my stay and will be back for sure.

I’ve stayed in many hostels and luxury hotels over the years, but nothing compares to this one. It was hands down one of the best experiences of my life. From the moment we arrived, I felt something special that makes this place more than just a bed for the night. After being stuck in traffic in the middle of nowhere in Albania, we didn’t arrive until 1 a.m. The host was still up waiting for us and, without us even asking, made us food — just because he could see how tired and hungry we were. That simple act said everything. Like many others, I had read the reviews talking about how amazing the host is. I didn’t quite get the hype until I met him. Now I completely understand. The warmth, energy, and care he brings to every interaction make this place feel like a home away from home. He doesn’t just run a hostel, he creates a community. Everything about my stay was perfect. the vibe, the people, the atmosphere. I made real connections, unforgettable memories, and felt like I was part of something bigger than just travel. Every single person that stayed there I continue to message as we all became so close I will be back again and again. If you’re even slightly on the fence, just book it. If you don’t, you will unknowingly be missing out.

Small and social hostel. Great dinner. Thank you Sergio! You make the guests a group. Everybody that arrived with me, including me, stayed longer than initially planned - I think that says it all!

I recommend this hostel! Staff were really nice and i liked that every evening there was a dinner made my Sergio the owner :)

Room was a bit cramped

Such a lovely place. Sergio is the best host you could wish for: welcoming from the first moment, always there when you need him and so hospitable. Amazing food, lovely garden and the volunteers were amazing as well. Extended my stay and wish i could stay longer.

While the property is basic that’s part of its charm and the vibes more than make up for it

This little gem is tucked away from the main road heading into town, within walking distance of potam beach and Filikuri. I liked being a bit away from things in a relaxing atmosphere. There are multiple cosy places to relax on the property. The vibe here is awesome. Sergio prepares a beautiful dinner every night like a family dinner where guests meet and friendships begin. My routine here consisted of family dinners, making new friends, exploring new beaches everyday with said new friends, rinsing off and repeat with occasional kareoke and raki involved. The volunteers were so lovely- vicci, Ana and Tara. I loved it so much here I stayed for 9 days and didn’t want to leave!! Natural hostel will always have a special place in my heart

Dirt road access, not great if you have a suitcase

Quiet hostel with a very friendly host who cooks dinner and breakfast everyday. Basic facilities but good value for money in Himare

First, Serxho. Amazing host. The place feels like home in every sense. It’s clean all the time, the outdoor showers are a huge plus. Very easy to socialize and on top of that, the dinners were delicious.

Staying here was one of the highlights of my trip! The place has a special charm, and what truly makes it unforgettable are the amazing volunteers and the incredible host, Sergio. He is warm, generous, and creates such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere — you instantly feel like part of a family. The food was absolutely divine (seriously, some of the best I’ve had on my travels!), and every meal felt like a celebration. I can’t recommend this place enough — if you’re looking for a spot with soul, great people, and delicious food, this is it!

Sergio, the owner welcomes you warmly, engages in interesting conversations, cooks amazing food and supplies organic wine. He has a wonderful helper with a great voice , ( so does Sergio) and we all sang away an evening. I would definitely recommend.
