Laissé par le workawayer (Aran) pour l'hôte
I had an awesome time working at the hostel, really enjoyed myself and had great fun - definitely workaway spirit. Mikel is a really jolly and warm-hearted Albanian guy, always ready to help you in any way he can. You'll always see him smiling, taking it easy but often involved in new ideas and projects.

Aran is tough hardworking young woman. For sure she does not step back for any task. Had such an amazing time with her. She loves icecreams so you will always have them around.
Aran dear, you are welcome at any time.

We stayed at this hostel for 10 days to help Mikel out with some building work. Mikel and his dog Tia are fantastic. He showed us all around Shkoder and thought us a lot about Albania. He showed us some of the best places to eat and tried some amazing food. Get the hot pot! Great places to drink also of course. Mikel even managed to sort out a gig… read more

Mike and Manus. Cool guys. When they will come you will feel like you know them since forever. Friendly, lovely, always smiling. Best volunteers ever: hardworking guys, they helped in construction, cleaning, played music. And they are good in whatever they do. Wish you all the very best guys and hope to see you again.

Mikel has a really nice setup in Shkodra (Shkodër) which will become your new favourite city in Albania. He was very accomodating and lenient as it was off season. We did some work in the garden and I helped with some English translation. The hostel is located a little bit outside the city centre but with a bike it is no distance at all and Mikels… read more

Mikel is a great host! He’s eager to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Whenever he got the time he shows you around and tells you the best places for what you are looking for. He took me on bike trips and evenings out with his friends when I wanted to, so I met nice people over there :)

She was very helpful here at the hostel will every tasks i had for her. She has a really good communication with other guests, which made my job very easy. I can complain only for the fact that she stayed only for 10 days.
