Guest Reviews

• Keely (10/5): -
• Maximilian (8/5): Ich fand die Atmosphäre im Haus schön und würde mich wieder so entscheiden. - Die Mitarbeiter waren hilfsbereit und freundlich; es war sauber und ruhig; die Matratze und Ausstattung waren sehr gut; imposanter Blick vom Balkon.
• Richard (10/5): -
• Roberts (9/5): -
• Petra Hoksrød (9/5): - Great facilities. Great staff. Clean. Spacious bathroom. Great view, but a bit for a hike up
• Leon (10/5): - Nice view nice kitchen The ladder to the upper bunks should extend higher hard to maneuver
• jessvinder singh (10/5): Best digital nomad hostel in Saranda - Had the best time in Saranda at this hostel! The atmosphere is amazing filled with friendly people, many of whom are digital nomads, which makes it super easy to connect and socialize. The ocean view is absolutely stunning, and the common spaces are perfect for both relaxing and getting work done. The kitchen is medium-sized but well equipped with everything you need. The rooms smell great (they even use air fresheners!) and have privacy curtains for each bed, which makes a huge difference. It’s also the only hostel I’ve found in Albania with filtered water such a nice touch. The hosts are genuinely kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. Would definitely recommend this place to any digital nomad or traveler looking for comfort, community, and great vibes by the sea That I didn't stay longer
• Christine (9/5): Fairer Preis saubere Anlage, seriöse Hostel-Besitzerin und nette Hilfskräfte. Wunderbarer Ausblick! - Etwas sportlich muss man sein, denn das Hostel liegt auf einer Anhöhe und ist schnell - ca. 10 Minuten bis einen Hauch mehr - vom Strand ausgehend, durch Treppen usw. erreichbar. Man kann jedoch auch gleich rechts vom Ausgang des Hostels einen längeren Weg, der ebener ist, wählen. Das Hostel hat einen wunderschönen Ausblick auf das Meer, ist sehr sauber und man fühlt sich hier gut und sicher aufgehoben. Ein Supermarkt sowie ein Obst- Gemüsemarkt sind ganz nahe gelegen, so muss man nicht lange alles anschleppen. Für Entspannung und nette Gespräche bietet sich das kleine Lokal neben dem Hostel an. Wenn man den Preis betrachtet, den man für das Hostel zahlt, dann muss man zufrieden sein. Ich bin es auf jeden Fall gewesen und sende der netten Hostel-Inhaberin meine herzlichen Grüße und wünsche ihr viele nette Gäste und wirtschaftlichen Erfolg! Alles gefiel mir und auch die Tatsache, dass ich unsportlicher Mensch einige Treppen erklimmen musste, hat mir gesundheitlich sicher nicht geschadet. Trotzdem bleibe ich ein fauler Typ und werde bei meinem nächsten Aufenthalt, wohl lieber den längeren und ebeneren Weg einschlagen.

• Monika (10/5): Best hostel experience ever! - I can risk saying that this was the most comfortable hostel stay in my life. Everything was just perfect, quiet but just a short walk to the riviera, bars and restaurants (don't trust google maps - just ask the staff for a shortcut down the stairs), extremely clean, coffee and filtered water so you don't have to waste plastic. They even have filled up ice cubes tray in the freezer if you need some for your drink (which I broke accidentally, so sorry for that again! 🧡) I loved the cozy bed light and little hangers next to the bed, so I could hang a towel, cosmetic bag or pajamas 😍 cute balcony with a view where you can have a drink or a cigarette. In the room I booked there were two toilets and one shower for 10 people and I never had to wait for any of those. It was just perfect, thank you so much! Even if I really try, it's hard to find anything to complain about

• Arasmouk (10/5): So pretty - Such a nice hostel, the rooms are huge and the beds are very comfortable and cozy. Everything was clean and neat. The view from my room was spectacular. They have a kitchen with everything you need to cook and water cooler too. They had aircon so it was very breezy. The staff was very cordial and nice. There’s a supermarket next to the hostel. The walk up. It looks close to the beach on the map, but it’s on a steep hill so be ready to climb up for twenty minutes.
• Carlos (9/5): Cozy, friendly and value for money. One of the best places I have ever stayed - Fero, the hostess is always ready for you and your questions. Kindly when I asked her if there is coffee she didn’t only showed me where are the things she made coffee for all of us I mean the place is in a very high hill but it’s simply the geography of Saranda.
• Timo (9/5): - The view over Sarandë was beautiful. Staff were really nice and the entire place was clean.
• Ezginur (10/5): Fevkaledeee!!! - Şu ana kadar tanıdığım en profesyonel işletmeciler, tam bir aile ortamı yaratmışlar. Böyle konforlu, temiz ve düzenli bir hostelde kalmamıştım; her şey ince ince düşünülmüş, bu da konaklamamı gerçekten çok keyifli yaptı. Mutlaka kalmalısınız! Beğenmediğim hiçbir şey yok.

• itaka (10/5): Very beautiful 😍 - The hostel was very beautiful, welcoming and clean . I was amazed with the view from the balcony. Near the hostel you can find bar restaurants and markets. The kitchen inside the hostel was big enough for all the guests. And the last but not the least, the owners were super welcoming and very friendly. I will definitely go back to them if I come back to Saranda.
• Eloy (9/5): -
• Manon (5/5): - L’emplacement qui offre une vue imprenable sur la ville. J’ai payé pour 2 nuits mais après un changement de plans j’ai voulu annuler la 2eme nuit (il etait 17h et je n’avais même pas passé la 1ere nuit) mais ils n’ont pas voulu me rembourser. Pourtant l’établissement possède une politique d’annulation gratuite...
• Tamara (9/5): - Really comfortably beds, privacy curtains in dorm, bathroom very clean, lockers and keys provided, light and power point at each bunk, kitchen is good - stove top works fast, beautiful sunset view of the city from the balcony!! Laundry machine available to use for free, Check out time 10am and a bit of confusion with which bunk number we were in
• Lucie (6/5): Une nuit au coeur de Saranda - L'auberge est bien située dans Saranda (la plage est à 10 min à pied à travers la ville). C'est une auberge de centre-ville donc les espaces sont vraiment optimisés (tout petit balcon extérieur pour profiter de la vue sur la baie). Le dortoir de 6 places était ok mais la propreté de la salle de bain laissait à désirer. L'hôte a semblé être quelque peu embêtée par les questions "touristiques" que nous lui avons posées. Nous nous sommes donc débrouillées seules.
• miriam (10/5): El lugar está muy bien, siempre limpio y organizado. No hubo problema con ruidos por la noche ni personas si portando ma - Limpio y organizado.

• Adam (10/5): -
• Camila G (10/5): - The hostel is AMAZING!!!! You have everything: big and clean common areas, a balcony with the best view of the city, the kitchen is full equipped, showers and toilets clean, comfortable beds with courtains and ac in every room!! The wifi also works very gooood Its perfect! The hostel is run by a family who always help you in everything you need ♥︎ Nothing!!

• Enjoy the life (10/5): - Voglio assolutamente condividere la mia splendida esperienza al Saranda Boutique Hostel, un vero gioiellino nel cuore di Saranda, Albania! Fin dal primo momento sono stato accolto con un sorriso e una gentilezza che raramente si trovano. Lo staff è eccezionale: sempre disponibile, cordiale e pronto a consigliare le migliori spiagge, ristoranti e luoghi nascosti della zona. Sembrava davvero di stare in famiglia! L’ostello è curatissimo nei dettagli: camere pulitissime, letti super comodi e armadietti sicuri. L’atmosfera è rilassata e al tempo stesso vivace, perfetta per incontrare altri viaggiatori da tutto il mondo. Le aree comuni sono arredate con gusto e ideali per socializzare o semplicemente rilassarsi dopo una giornata di mare. La posizione è fantastica, a pochi passi dalla spiaggia e vicino al centro città, ma abbastanza tranquilla da garantire una buona notte di sonno. Il filtro per l'acqua potabile gratuita e anche la lavatrice è un grande plus che va dato a questa struttura. Se state pianificando un viaggio a Saranda, non posso che consigliarvi il Saranda Boutique Hostel: un’esperienza indimenticabile in un angolo di paradiso. Ci tornerò sicuramente! 🌊💙 PS. Vista panoramica mozzafiato 😍😍 Esperienza totalmente positiva.

• OverTheRainbow (10/5): Delightful Hostel - Hostel has a fabulous view across the bay. There are very convenient laundry facilities. It's spacious and the staff are excellent. Great dorms too.
• matteo (10/5): - Le service lors de mon check-in était parfait ! Le jeune à l’accueil était très accueillant et professionnel. Je recommande
• Marie Line (10/5): -
• Daichi (10/5): Nice guesthouse - Excellent view from the hostel and clean facility
• Y (10/5): ありがとうございました - わからないことを沢山調べてくれたりとても親切にしてくれました。洗濯機無料で干し場があってよかった。近くに美味しいご飯屋さんやスーパーがあり便利。坂上で大変ですが南北の道には階段があって通れてよかったです（Googleマップは遠回りで出る）
• Angiliklley (10/5): A spectacle, magnificent - All the best! My experience at Saranda Boutique Hostel was simply delightful. The location is perfect, with easy access to the beach and the main spots in town. The atmosphere is warm, clean, and beautifully decorated, bringing a light and pleasant vibe. The staff is super friendly and always ready to help with a smile — I felt at home from the very first day. Definitely one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. I truly recommend it and I already want to come back! 💙✨” Everything perfect
• Tiffany (10/5): - Amazing. Very clean.
• Hevelin Lopes (10/5): Gostei muito, tem uma excelente vista de Saranda e recomendo demais. - O espaço era excelente, quarto e banheiro perfeitamente limpo, cama confortável com cortinas para privacidade, máquina de lavar gratuita foi uma excelente comodidade. A localização foi um ponto um pouco dificil pois estava sozinha e taxis eram muito caros, entao do centro pro hostel tem que subir algumas ladeiras.
• Leona (8/5): -
• Romeo (10/5): -
• Voka (10/5): - The best hostel I've ever been
• Amin (9/5): Accueillant - L'établissement était très propre avec un accueil très familial et chaleureux, une vue très belle sur la côte et la ville, mais également un espace de co-working ou tout simplement détente pour discuter avec d'autres voyageurs.
• Katie (10/5): - Beautiful hostel- the beds are really wide and comfortable, the view is incredible and the facilities are really great. The staff are so helpful too. Just be aware it’s quite a steep uphill walk from the seafront.
• Courtney (10/5): -
• Stefan (10/5): -
• Snappyline (10/5): - The family running the hostel were always pleasant and professional. The room and common areas were modern and clean. There wasn't anything I didn't like.
• Milutin (8/5): ok -
• Robin (7/5): Hostel mit angenehmer Atmosphäre und toller Aussicht - Die Inhaberin / das Personal sind sehr freundlich. Die Atmosphäre im Hostel war super angenehm und ruhig. Ich habe zunächst für zwei Nächte gebucht und dann vor Ort nochmal um drei Nächte verlängert. Ich war in einem gemischten 6-Bett-Zimmer. Die Betten sind bequem. Im Gemeinschaftsraum ließ sich ohne Probleme auch ein paar Stunden arbeiten. Die Küche ist groß und gut ausgestattet. Das Hostel bietet einen tollen Blick auf die Stadt und das Meer. In der Straße gibt es ein paar Cafés / Restaurant (ebenfalls mit tollem Blick auf die Stadt) und einen Supermarkt. Insgesamt hatte ich eine gute Zeit und hab‘ mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Hostel bzw. die Küche hätte an der ein oder anderen Stelle etwas sauberer und das Hostel mit wenigen Handgriffen etwas weniger lieblos und chaotisch sein können. Die Dusche war z.T. etwas muffig weil die Lüftung zu wenig gelaufen ist. Und am letzten Tag habe ich morgens an meinem Bett eine Bettwanze entdeckt, was den Eindruck etwas getrübt hat. Ich habe das der Besitzerin auch mitgeteilt - ich hoffe, dass hier etwas passiert. Sonst wäre es sehr schade.
• Fernanda (10/5): - It was one of the most cleanest hostel I have stayed. Super comfortable, you also have curtains on your bed which gives more privacy. Impeccable towels and sheets. It has a balcony to enjoy the sunset or your breakfast if you want with a fantastic view. They were very attentive all the time, very nice people! I would definitely come back and recommend it. Super close to the town and you have a supermarket/coffe bar, restaurant next door. If you walk at night alone could be a bit scary as it's at the top of the hill and there's not much lighting if you're walking through the shortcout, but it was safe. It was all good!! I would only improve the indications as they know the location in google maps is not correct to the place. Maybe suggest them to add some sign with the name, so would be much easy. They send you a link which was not working at the time for me at least, to avoid moving forward and backwards.
• Duke (7/5): -
• Robert (10/5): - Ten hostel jest wyjątkowy pod każdym względem. Doskonała czystość, nowoczesne wnętrze, miła obsługa, fajna lokalizacja. No i ten widok na Sarandę i morze! Obłędny! Czułem się tu świetnie, jak u siebie w domu. Blisko hostelu jest market Planet, który jest dobrze zaopatrzony. Atutem hostelu jest również jego duża jadalnia z balkonem z widokiem na Sarandę. Dodam, że inne hostele mogłyby się uczyć od tego w Sarandzie. Nie było takiej rzeczy.
• Achini (10/5): Support this hostel! - Incredibly lovely and kind owner (and kids). Very well managed, super clean, modern and comfortable. The view is also gorgeous. One of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. Unfortunately some of the other girls in my dorm room were very inconsiderate and would ignore the quiet hours rules and would turn the main lights on late at night when people were sleeping, and also stomp about, watch videos without earphones and talk on the phone late at night. There are signs around the hostel outlining the quiet hours and other rules so it is not the hostels fault that people don't follow them.
• Udo (10/5): Super Hostel gerne wieder - Die Lage ist für weitere Erkundigungen von Sandara sehr gut. Vom Hostelaufenthaltsbereich hat man eine sehr schönen Blick auf die Stadt. Durch große Spiegel wirkt das Hostel viel größer und man fühlt sich nicht beengt. Es ist sauber, die Schlafmöglichkeiten sind steife Metallbetten mit in einer verdammt dicken Matratze. Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet mit drei Kühlschränken und Wäsche waschen kosten 100Lek. Das Personal ist dem Gast zugewandt, freundlich und hilfsbereit. Mein Motorrad konnte direkt vor dem Hostel geparkt werden. Alles ist fussläufig erreichbar, ca. 150m entfernt Supermarkt, Fischrestaurant(Fish Bar). Nichts
• N (9/5): -
• Man Chiu (9/5): Sunset view right from my window - Staffs are chilled. The 4-bunkbed female dorm I stayed was very clean. The facilities are all quite new. The best is the sunset view I enjoyed right in front of the room! Also the price for one night was so so cheap! Worth the price! Dont book it if you dont like walking up hill. Idm at all tho.
• Rita (8/5): - The boy who did my check-in was friendly and available. The dorm was clean and the ensuite bathroom (also reasonably kept) was a huge plus. The bed was relatively comfortable, had an individual light and socket as well as a curtain for privacy, which I really appreciated. Apart from the noise issue (see below), this was a very nice hostel :) There's only so much management can do to enforce the rules they do have in place. Unfortunately, it's up to fellow guests to respect them and in my case they did not. I was unlucky that other travellers sleeping either in other dorms or in mine were anything but quiet until past 4 in the morning. It's advertised as not a party hostel but people don't care. I don't care for disrespect but hey, I guess next time I need to invest into an Airbnb or a hotel. The one thing I can suggest that you improve is to provide hooks or shelves or some way for patrons to hang/keep their belongings in the bathroom. Oh, and maybe worth mentioning you should check, I think it was, locker 13? The key was practically useless, as it did turn both ways but the door could not be closed.
• Maisy (10/5): -
• Elena Margarita (10/5): - It’s a perfect hostel! Clean and beautiful , with an amazing view, comfortable enough and with friendly people working! Definitely recommended!!! I mean it’s a long way from the beach up the hill.. but the address is mentioned
• William van Klaveren (9/5): -
• charline (10/5): Génial - L’accueil était très chaleureux, la dame est incroyablement gentille et arrangeante!! Très agréable séjour dans cet hostel 😊 Rien
• WAI LING (10/5): Ultimate hostel with everything - You have everything in this hostel. Spacious living room, free towel free laundry, well equipped kitchen, comfortable mattress, locker, etc and insanely pretty view from the terrace The staff should check the fridge more frequently and ask guest to put date of their food
• Nicole Gödecke (10/5): - Tolles Hostel, sehr schöner Ausblick, alles da was man braucht und sehr sauber. Die schöne Aussicht hat ihren Preis, der Weg nach oben ist anstrengend aber machbar :)
• khin (9/5): -
• Amanda (10/5): A wonderful, safe, clean stay for the price - The rooms are spacious and clean. My room had had its own bathroom. There is a grocery store nearby and free laundry!! The views are beautiful! The walk with luggage to get there.
• Agustina (9/5): -
• ines (10/5): Amazing stay 🩷 -
• Santiago (8/5): - Las instalaciones estan muy bien. Son comodas y se nota que son muy nuevas. La limpieza del lugar es excelente! EL lugar queda en la parte alta de la ciudad y es un poco oscuro para llegar desde el centro. Las escaleras para llegar cansan bastante si andas a pie.

• Gioacchino (8/5): - Pulizia e vista, ambiente internazionale aria condizionata accesa tutta la notte che mi ha fatto stare male
• Laia (8/5): - Las camas eran super comodas, tienes un locker propio, enchufe justo junto a la cama, un lugar donde colocar el celular y una lampara. La vista desde el balcón era increíble, los atardeceres eran mágicos y por las noches era el lugar mas fresco del hostel. Es posible beber el agua de la canilla ya que cuentan con filtro. Hay un supermercado a pocos metros. Pudimos encontrar personas realmente agradables que hicieron nuestra estadía mas divertida❤️‍🩹 Hacía demasiado calor, el aire acondicionado de la habitación no era suficiente, no hay ventilación en los pasillos y solo hay un ventilador mediano para un living/comedor grande. Lamentablemente se fue la luz una noche y estuvimos aproximadamente 3hs sin luz, sin agua y sin poder cocinar. Los anfitriones nos dijeron que solo se corta la luz una vez al año, vaya suerte 🤣. La limpieza podría mejorar. Creo que deberían revisar las heladeras ya que hay demasiada comida abandonada. Se oia bastante los sonidos de la calle y era difícil dormir en ocasiones. También entraba muchísima luz de afuera cuando amanecía y la cortina de mi cama no tapaba todo, por lo que opté por usar antifaz. La llegada al hostel puede ser un poco fuerte ya que esta en subida.
• Sylvain (10/5): - La vue, la gentillesse de la famille hôte et de la volontaire, le lave linge à disposition, la propreté, le calme par rapport au d'autres auberges de jeunesse. La côte pour y arriver !
• Antonella (10/5): Good value for money! I would recommend - the AC!! the family that owns the place is very kind and helpful. free towels and locker key. never had a. issue waiting for a bathroom. they have events going on. nice balcony view of Sarandë the location is a bit up, there’s a shortcut that makes it about 10 min. It’s not bad honestly, and maybe being not super close to all the music is better

• Alexandra (10/5): Would stay here again! - Everything was very clean, a great shower, and run by a lovely family. Worth the short walk uphill!

• Gök (10/5): - It is an very clean excellent family business, they are very attentive with their customers . ı got sıck and they even brought me to hospital. if u lookin for hostel at saranda just book their hostel , ı promise you wont regret
• Alice (10/5): - The family working is super sweet and helpful! They were great and made sure we had everything we needed. The place itself is very nice and clean with a beautiful view on Saranda. The rooms and beds are comfortable and private. Nothing!
• Arzu (10/5): -
• Andre (10/5): - 阳台景色非常美，喜欢坐在阳台看远处海边的夕阳！其实位置挺不错的，找到捷径后可以很快走到市中心和海边，附近就有超市。房间洗手间浴室干净整洁，公共区域很大，提供饮用水。
