Guest Reviews

• Donald (8/5): Very good -
• Katalina (10/5): Everything was good -
• Lawry (10/5): Exceptional - Standard good hostel Hot at night 🥵
• Deere (10/5): 100% would recommend - Absolutely lovely and accommodating staff they couldn’t have been nicer. Very clean and great location with a lovely kitchen and garden. 10/10!
• Sofia (10/5): Exceptional - The location is great, close to the shops and restaurants. Also, it’s like 20 minutes walk from the beach. The staff is great and really helpful. It’s a family business which adds extra value to the experience :)
• Vladyslav (8/5): Very good - Great stay, central and clean. Beds could be more comfortable
• Luz (9/5): Superb - Nice quiet place! Perfect to rest while traveling around Albania. Beds are not so comfortable. But the rest it’s impecable!
• Jonathan (8/5): Very good - Very clean and great staff! They advertise air conditioning. And there are units on the wall. But they never will turn them on. Even in 40+ degrees!
• Stephani (6/5): Pleasant - Clean Toilets were broken and no air conditioning working, was a nightmare to sleep
• Alejandro (8/5): Very good - The place is ver well located near the main road and not far from the beach. Good atmosphere and nice people around. Everything was ok
• Joann (3/5): Poor - Approachable staff Place not comfortable to sleep very hot.. no place to wash clothes, toilet not monitored to clean, not refilled tissue. In short not good during summer vacation
• Hurley (10/5): Exceptional - The hostel is conveniently located one street off main street, across from extensive Italian supermarket and gamma market. The hostel is updated and super clean with an excellent kitchen and dining room and heaps of extra new bathrooms. Really friendly and interesting owners, staff and guests. In my experience, this is one of the best hostels I have stayed with. Also, a really fair price.😀 Everything was great.
• Edwin (10/5): Exceptional - Staff very kindly. Everything very organized and very clean.
• Mahmoud (10/5): Exceptional - Everything is good
• Kiera (7/5): Good - Really good communal kitchen and living room to chill in. Also lots of outdoor areas if you like to smoke The room was soooo hot!! We had a dorm with 8 people and one small fan. The windows didn't let any breeze in and was sweating all night
• Olivia (6/5): Pleasant -
• Lika (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nicholas (5/5): Get what you pay for - One fan per room, stinky bathroom, pretty unclean, random layout.
• Wenche (4/5): Disappointing - Doorms where okay and location was okay. Could store my luggage before check-in. One girl was really helpful to try 2 figure out about buses to Himara on the last evening of my 2 night stay. It wasn't right, but she really tried 👍(not her fault) When I arrived about 13pm...I knew it wasn't check in time yet. When a person/male finally came to the reception, I had a couple of questions & the reply was "make it quick! I have to go"! When I checked out...couldn't find any personel, and waited for 30mins...so I just left
• Vic (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alty (9/5): Superb -
• Dominik (9/5): Superb -
• Federico (7/5): A good stay for a couple of days - People were silent and respectful. The staff were great and very kind. The kitchen is spacious and full of pans, cutlery, glasses, mugs, etc. There’s a comfortable table there and in the living room (share space) there are armchairs, tv and another large table The bedroom was very big and has a large cabinet to store your luggage comfortably. The bathrooms were wet and small and there wasn’t water in the afternoon to take a shower or wash the dishes (it seems that in Albania running water is scarce and sometimes you have to wait till it runs again around 19:00 if the water tank of the property is empty). There wasn’t blinds in the window of the bedroom (but there were curtains) so the sunlight comes in as soon as it breaks the day.
• Merly (7/5): Good location,good value for the money - Excellent location with many restaurants around, supermarkets, pharmacies and bars, however the hotel is in a quite street so it is not noisy There are also lounge to chill out with tv and dining room, kitchen very clean and big garden. Staff very friendly and helpful The dorm was too hot so I couldn’t sleep at all, the hotel has big fans but no AC so the air could not reach my bed bunker as I was on the top
• Hanna (9/5): Superb - Cheap, equipped kitchen, lot of space, nice staff Beds are very squeaky and old, not that close to the beach
• Luigi (8/5): Very good -
• Redona (7/5): Good - The personal was really friendly. Sometimes not hot water.
• Stephenelliot (7/5): Good - Great price! Cold shower, no AC, and uncomfortable mattress. Overall great stay for the price, but adjust expectations accordingly
• Techkai (1/5): BEWARE. - Nice communal area Nice kitchen Welcoming host/receptionist Lack of crockery No electricity in the dormitory room, we were only told there was no electricity on our floor after we arrived "that's why the price was so cheap" is what he said.. to be honest, not that cheap considering the circumstances... This was a terrible way to communicate your advertisement. You make it known in the advert of the circumstances, not put your customers on the spot when they arrive so that they have no choice but to accept. No bed sheet on my mattress All showers had no hot water. There was only one with luke warm water. All toilet flushes for some reason have been removed .. No toilet roll in most toilets... One woman was very dismissive of us and was giving us clear judgemental looks every time we were in the same room. Telling us we shouldn't be cooking past 10pm when AGAIN this is not communicated properly on the advertisement. We had just finished a 3-4 hour drive and hadn't eaten most of the day and the kitchen was the main thing we were looking forward to, and her colleague had told us it could remain open until midnight that day... so it wasn't an enjoyable experience to know we were being expected to rush everything so they could close the kitchen. They expect you to put your pillowcase and sheet on the bed and then drop it off into the basket before you leave which isn't really an issue but felt a bit like we're paying you to do the service for you...
• Taru (10/5): One of the best hostels I’ve stayed! - Loved my stay in this hostel! Rooms were spacious, one of the cleanest hostels I’ve ever been. Location is a ok, a bit far from the beach area but bus stops, Old town and shops are close by. Hostel owners/staff were so nice and helpful! Highly recommended!
• Andrea (10/5): Exceptional - I had a great time at the hostel! it is really welcoming, large, with a large common area and a kitchen where it is easy to get to know other travellers. the location is very good, very close to the center and not far from the beach and the port, the area is also well stocked with markets and bars. The staff is very kind and very friendly and I take this opportunity to thank Ana, Lukas and Xhilda for making me feel like family!
• Laura (7/5): Good - The location was good - just off the main road midway between the beach and the old town. The bunks were comfortable and the everything was clean enough. Great value for money and the staff were nice and helpful. There was never enough toilet paper in the bathroom and no hooks/space to hang your towels and clothes when you shower. There was also no floor mat so it was very wet after someone showered. The fridge in the kitchen was cluttered and it was near impossible to find space for your food. Otherwise a decent hostel stay!
• Christian (8/5): Very good - Very good location and price, kitchen is clean and works perfectly. Staff is very friendly.
• Izalino (8/5): Very good - Good facilities
• Kathryn (8/5): Very good -
• Klockeranna (8/5): Very good - Super nice and friendly stuff. Really nice kitchen and common areas. Possibilitiey for pingpong and playing games. Sweet garden and laundry service. The matress was quite uncomfortable since the inlaying metal could be felt through. And there were some strange noises from the neighbourhood throughout the night.
• Mark (7/5): Perfect hostel for 1 or 2 nights on a budget especially with a large group. - The hosts were exceptionally friendly and willing to help as much as possible. We arrived after midnight and they very kindly allowed us to check-in very late. Communication was also great. A few bathrooms were out of order and there was a problem with the power but I understand this was in the process of being sorted out. The host very kindly discounted our rate as a result without us even asking.
• Valeed (10/5): Exceptional -
• 咲良 (10/5): Exceptional - ・I stayed room for 4 people, there are enough spaces to open my big suitcase. ・There are big supermarket, I could go for 2 minutes. I could you the credit card too in supermarket. ・Host is very friendly. She taught me how to choose the boat tour.
• Nobuhiro (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nobuhiro (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nobuhiro (10/5): Exceptional - The location is perfect. The staffs are very kind. The rooms are clean.
• Verena (8/5): Very good -
• Maria (5/5): Okay - Nice, central location. Close to local amenities. It is very easy to find. Large balcony and outdoor space. There is no table or stool in the dorm room. Air conditioning was turned off. Some guests who had booked through other websites were very disappointed as they booked under the impression that air conditioning would be on. There is no remote in the room, so guests can not turn on the aircon. Sheer curtains, so the room gets very hot very quickly. Multiple bathrooms are out of use. 2 bathrooms for 12+ beds. Occasional long waits to use the bathroom.The bathrooms that were in use had broken toilet flushers. One of the bathrooms had poor ventilation.
• Aleksandar (6/5): Pleasant - Descent densely populated location with shops and food markets to buy from, although not so close to the city center. Around 1.5 km away .The parking place they offer, considering it's a crowded city especially in high season. Lukas the owner, a great forthcoming guy, flexible and always available to help. Nice young crowd that visits the hostel. This is a hostel that you would enjoy, if you have a bed in the upper floors of this house. If you are on the ground floor, than it's a bad experience. First, the Wi-Fi was bad to non existent in the room, there was only one socket, in the back side of the room and not easily seen for charging your phone and the room had 6 beds. The electrical switch was not by the door, but all the way on the opposite side between the beds?! No air conditioning, only wind fans. No curtains for the bed side, so no privacy in a small room. No place to keep your phone close by, since no place next to bed to put them in the upper and lower bunk beds. The lockers have no keys, but rather lock that if you don't have, u have to pay for, that I didn't see noted in the booking offer. I had to brush the dirt off of the locker cabinet upper surface to leave things on to. You don't get a pre-made bed, but rather they give you beddings you, yourself have to put on and when leaving take off and put in a basket, again in the different part of the house. The pillow had a strange smell. In order to use the kitchen, you are suppose to get out of this part of the hostel, walk around the house to a different entrance and climb two floors to get there. If the downstairs bathroom was occupied which it was most of the time, since it served 12 people, you again make the same route of going to the other side entrance and climb three floors. In the kitchen the refrigerator was small and full.The owner's rooms are in the same space as with guests and they also use the kitchen themselves with a big refrigerator that would better serve guests because of the size. All of this made the stay there a bit of a torture.
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lika (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pavel (9/5): An ideal holiday for a company of 4 people and with a car. - I lived here for a whole month and during that time I had very few neighbors. Probably the season was not as successful as it was before Covid. But this is only a plus for me, because there are only 8 neighbors in 30 days. Almost perfectly clean housing, which I met during six months of travel. Very friendly owners. Travis' mom spoke a little Russian, which surprised me. Here you will find a large kitchen with all the equipment you need. Unless espresso lovers will suffer))) Each room has its own exit to the balcony. Various shops and cafes are very close. Far from the sea. The best beach (Zvërnec) is 7.5 km away. Which is a problem for those who don't have a car. But if you have one, it's only a 20-minute drive. Apart from the distance from the beaches, there are no other disadvantages.
• Joanna (9/5): Superb -
• Pop (9/5): Nice and clean hostel - The hostel looks nice. The owner speaks English very well, the bed was clean and the hostel is near the main street.There is a kitchen.The rooms are spacious and the terrace is big as well.Next to shops, restaurants and bus station. The hostel does not have a visible and big sign, it was a little bit difficult to see it.
