    The owners, the volunteers, the whole hostel team were like family. The day trips were phenomenal. The owners Rob and Erjon are hands down the most amazing people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. They are truly one of a kind individuals that pour their heart and soul into this community they’ve built. I had a once in a lifetime experience here and will 100% be back just because of these people. Consistently throughout the trip, they exceeded expectations as tour guides and went out of their way to make sure you felt safe, welcomed, and most importantly, happy!! I can’t wait to see you guys again!

    Great place but make sure you’re aware you might not get the tour you want as they’re not every day.

    It wasn’t very clear that every day you only do one tour, which is decided by votes, so you need to make sure you have multiple nights in case due to the voting you don’t get to do the tour you wanted. For example I never got to do the Theth hike which was the whole reason I went. The tours also leave early so whatever day you arrive you’ll probably miss them that day so you really need multiple days. The tours are also quite expensive, 60 euro for the Shala river trip yet it was pretty much just a transfer and one stop for a swim - personally not worth 60 euros at all.

    Super social vibe, great common spaces and good bed privacy too. Great place to stay.

    The bathrooms could have had hooks on the doors, and some of the rooms are significantly smaller than others, but we stayed for four nights and it was perfectly manageable.

    The absolute best social vibe at the hostel - everyone was so friendly and the volunteers actually made an effort to get everyone involved. If felt like a community, and we would have loved to extend our time here if our trip allowed. Definitely recommend the day tours as they really are worth it, and the location is just perfect for more self-paced days in the town.

    One of the best hostels in Albania! Fantastic staff and volunteers, along with cool day trips and activities. Great area to hang out in, very social vibes. Shout-out Bella and Zo for being great volunteers. Great comfortable beds.

    The best hostel i have been to, the 2 owners are the coolest dudes. You can see the love that they put in the hostel. Its a very well equiped hostel with good showers, a good kitchen and nice beds. There is also a lovely outside chill area where everybody just hangs out en plays games. They organise day tours to a couple different spots. The drive you there with vans and they make everything so easy for you whils't also being very fun. I only got good things to say about the hostel and the 2 owners robert and aryan.

    after 10 days there is nothing bad

    1They all speak English and Italian, 2 the hostel is near by everything 3 despite some people leave everything dirty every day the woman working there will clean everything PROPERLY!!!! 4 the curtain really makes all the difference!!!! You just close it and you will have all your privacy... 5 for a few euros they will arrange a bus to Tirana or to the airport, they will call for you for free. Price/ service this hostel is probably the best that you can get in Albania. Ps: the kitchen has all the tools you need.

    The shower might just need a little shelf to put our things away from the water.

    I stayed there as a solo traveller, and found the hostel really welcoming also thanks to the team working there. I had a change of plan during my travel and they were really helpful, caring about the safety and gave advice about what to do and what to see around there. Regarding the room, the beds have curtains that gave the intimacy needed. I did not use the kitchen and can't say anything about it except that it looked well equipped. I also so that they were games in the living room for residents to use!

    The shower was cold. In summer it's not an issue. It had one shower in every floor. Checkout time is somewhat earlier. For such not a big, busy hostel it's very early.

    It was nice one. The bed has curtain, plugin, light. The room has locker, big enough and even shelf to pack the bag. Location was very good, as well as the staff. Bathroom sinks are modern. Had a wall hair dryer. Had a work desk in common area room, sofas.

    The bathrooms could be a little bit cleaner, the floor was wet but appart from that is one of the best hostels I've ever been and i've been in more than 40. Thanks so much!

    10/10 option, even more considering the price. Beds are super comfortable and with curtains. The common places are insane, the kitchen is big, clean, perfect equipment. Also you have an outside zone where you can chill with the other guests. The vibe was amazing, everybody super cool, and in the center of the city. Owner or manager is very nice. Big lockers in the room. The very best place in Shkoder.

    A bit small shower cubicle, Likely to flood if the drain does not take fast enough the water away.

    I believe Booking.com stated that the breakfast was included. But the Hostel guys told me it wasn't and I got a refund and a bonus: free towel. Good people both customers and the hostel crew. The family little kitten knows how to make herself loved and cuddled :) The option of planning day trip excursions to the Albanian Alps :) Ample kitchen and plenty of facilities and room. Good size dorms and beds with curtains. Good new mattresses too.
