Neighboorhood is a bit dark at night.

Friendly hosts who helped arrange hiketrip on the spot. Pick up in front of hostel. Nice common garden and a very comfy bed (i slept in one of the triangular cottages). Airco and Wifi good.

I don’t really recall breakfast or a kitchen to cook

Comfortable private room. Great hosts. Close to downtown and the busses. Extremely easy to plan and book tours through the hostel. Laundry can be had for 5€

You can rent a bike but they are in very bad condition.

Very easy, small and convenient!

They made everything so easy! I showed up in the evening being like “I need a transfer to Valbona, need to do laundry, and need luggage storage,” and the guy that runs the place was like no problem, we’ve got you all set. It’s also a really cozy place. I could lie in that hammock and play with the cat all day!

Really nice communal space, beds and bathrooms were super clean, super helpful with booking everything for the hike as well! Thanks to klaus and his parents for making me feel so at home!

Nothing really

Staff was really nice and the location is great

There's no kitchen which may be an issue for some backpackers, and its a bit of a walk to the centre (15 mins) but it wasn't really a bad thing, just a point to note.

Spacious rooms with comfy, clean beds and aircon, relaxing outdoor communal space with hammocks and seating and a bar. Friendly hosts who were super helpful and welcoming. They'll help you organise day trips and will store your bags safely if you plan to spend a few days in the Alps hiking. Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Shkoder 😊

There was no other people. I was recommended a different hostel with the same name "Shkodra backpackers hostel". This hostel is called "The hood".

Friendly staff, Easy parking outside the hostel. Clean rooms and nice outdoor space.

Great place, comfy beds and great showers. Klaus the host could not do more for us as guests. Would stay here again.

Not much by way of kitchen facilities to be able to prepare/heat own meals/tea/coffee.

The hosts were really friendly and helpful. Good value for money and just a short stroll in to the city centre. The playful cats at the property provided much entertainment!

Cute hostel with nice decoration and vibes. We stayed in a private room which was spacy and comfortable. The Location ist great only 10min from the center and busstation. Everything was super clean and well maintained. Nice host and cute kittens ;)

Very nice, quiet hostel with a great outdoor area. Klaus and his parents are very accommodating and endeavoured to ensure that everything is fine. Everything is super clean and well organised. There is a small bar in the garden with drinks, beer and coffee. The city centre with all its restaurants and bars is only a 15-minute walk away. And it's very quiet around the hostel in the evening. Klaus helped us organise the bus transport to Theth with pick-up directly from the hostel. My highlight was watching the kitten’s playing and cuddling in the garden. They certainly attract a lot of attention. 10/10

Amazing staff - really friendly and helpful. Great place to stay if you are doing the theth hikes- which I would highly recommend! Can’t recommend enough clean, comfortable and the staff really are amazing, as our first time in Albania they were so kind and helpful of all the best spots!

Really nice hostel, super chill vibe! great if you want to do the valbona-theth hike as you can book with the hostel. we stayed both in a cabin and in a room, both super clean and cosy (preference for the cabin, for a different experience!!) . 10/10 !!!

The accomodation advertises parking without extra charge, however there is a 6 EUR charge per night, if you want to leave your car during the Teth-Valbona hike, which we were happy to pay but would recommend clarifying the info accordingly

Everything was spectacular! Very social and cosy hostel, where it's easy to meet other travellers. Chill outdoor area, very well located in 5min walking distance from the main street but without the noisyness from the bar areas. This was a return visit, as we already enjoyed our first stay here very much. Special shout out to Klaus who met us with a big smile on his face and made us feel super welcome from the moment we arrived. Until we meet again! x

The hostel is a bit further away from the city center than I would have liked, but still easily walkable.

Very friendly and helpful staff, the hostel was exceptionally clean, the garden is a great place to hang out in the evening and meet other people and it is located in a quiet neighbourhood. The hostel helps with organizing trips to Shala River or Theth with pick up right from the hostel.

I forget the host's name but he speaks excellent English. He is a joyful man who tends to the needs of all of his guests with a sincere smile. The same applies to his parents. Clean and quiet. One has the option of relaxing on his own or mingling with the other guests. It was perfect for my needs as I arrived late and all I wanted was a clean place to have a shower and crash for the night. I was also allowed to park my motorcycle within the premises which I greatly appreciated. Unlike other more "elegant", and more expensive hotels which disappointed me, the Hood is a sincere and lovely place which offers exactly what it says at a good price. I felt at home as soon as I walked in. It is one of the places which I have bookmarked in order to visit again when passing through or exploring the general region.

Nothing!

The bed was very comfortable and the room we booked had effective air conditioning. The vibe is really chill and the location is ideal, especially for going to Shala river/Koman.
