Tap water not drinkable.

Cozy balcony with a fiew so stunning it's hard to ever leave, but if you do you are rewarded with the wonderful Filikuri beach only 10min away. Eggs & french toast for breakfast, good vibes, feels like home. The old lady which runs the place is an absolute sweetheart but unfortunately doesn't speak much English so be patient with her and try to avoid misunderstandings. (If you know a few words of Greek you will be instantly her favorite.)

It would be better to add some dishes, mostly is needed a normal knife. Also is a problem with shower and it needs fixing, because water is going out very slowly. Also for somebody it can be a problem to go up to the hostel, because it is located high on the mountain.

There is a wonderful view from the terrace, very comfortable beds. It is very peaceful place far away from noisy bars. Also towels are included. There is a place where you can meet nice people all over the world. Owner is a nice woman, she doesn’t speak English well, but she tries and all understand each other. Also if you want, you can ask owner and she will cook for you meal. Hot water was always and Wi-Fi also was good.

It's a bit hike to get to the hostel esp when it was a hot day.

Great view of the city and surrounding areas, close to the Filikuri beach, common area to socialize and meet other travelers.

Well, it was full and not all the people respect the hygiene basics, so especially the bathroom was not as clean as I would like. Also the shower corner is really tiny, so the water is everywhere after use.

The view is just perfect and a beautiful Filikuri beach is close to the house. It is not easy to get to the hostel with a suitcase but it's worth it. The sheets were clean and so were the blankets. Wifi worked well. The host is friendly and nice. You can buy some water or drinks from the fridge there. I also saw a kitten there, that was cute.

Location is amazing and the terrace is a great place to socialize and watch amazing sunsets. Might be the best hostel I stayed in.

It has an amazing view of Himarë bay. I met quite a few solo travelers and people who I got along with that made the stay very warm. Highly recommended.

The hill was a bit daunting, but only because I have a bad knee.

Very clean and comfortable dorms with great air conditioning. Jaja and George are the nicest hosts and really make you feel welcome. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. The highlight was the view from the veranda! Perfect for sunset with a cold beer. My favorite hostel in Albania!

Nothing! It was great

Lovely host and she was super helpful and caring! The rooms were spacious with air conditioning and allowed you to be quite social. The bathroom and laundry work well, the host will do the laundry for you. It was a great location right next to the beach and nearby restaurants (except it's up a very steep hill but totally worth it). Gorgeous views and places to sit and watch the sunset.

Stayed in August 2024

I would be aware that the dorms are mixed.

Location above town with an amazing view of the bay from the terrace. Ten minutes walk from the best beach I found in Albania, Filikuri. Great price. Friendly atmosphere. Jaja the formidable owner makes complimentary turkish coffee and a great breakfast for 400 Lek. Air con, small kitchen facilities, large terraces for sunbathing and enjoying the view and lots of space to dry beach stuff.

Its a small hike to get there, but it is indeed good and the view compensates. Also a very good spot to be on and go to Filikuri beach (which is quite a trouble, its Path)

It's a cheap hostel. Not everything is tip top. But they clean it every day.

Terrace with a cool view. Nice people. You can buy bevvies such as beer and water, they're in the fridge for a reasonable price. People say stuff about the owner, but she's ok. She's a bit rough on the edges but doesn't really complain about stuff some "nicer" people would.

Walking up the hill. But definitely worth it for the views and sunset

Everything. Very chilled friendly hostel. Friendly hosts

Perfect location with imazing view, the best in Himare, wish to come back here :)

Stayed in August 2024

Nothing it was value for money and the small issues were solved straight away

Nice to be out of the hustle of Himare. Felt like a home and had that great relaxed feel. The view is epic and the walks to Filikuri beach is so nice. Was more closer to the real laidback version of Albania but could walk into town for a little party action.

Yaya (the women who runs the hostel) although very welcoming with most guests, lost her temper on multiple occasions at guests as they arrived due to very minor issues. It was very unprofessional and I’m sure not a very good experience for those affected. Kitchen facilities are no good either so don’t come here if you want to cook.

Unbelievable view. Close to Filikuri beach which is the best in the area. Comfortable rooms. Friendly atmosphere.

The staff’s approach on conflict resolution has some room for improvement in my opinion; some guests were confronted very aggressively for unforeseen and uncontrollable things like checking in late due to a delayed bus.

The outoor areas were especially beautiful and comfortable; this is a hostel you might want to spend time at even during the day. The other guests were friendly and sociable, so meeting new friends and making spontaneous plans with them was easy and added so much to my trip.

We had a great stay! The view over the bay is beautiful and the owners are incredibly warm and lovely!

Nothing really to complain about. It is a hike up the hill to get there if you're coming on foot but you can always get a taxi if you want. The fridge in our room didnt work so well but no biggie.

Amazing location with an incredible view! Bed was comfortable and AC was good. The host was lovely and made sure everyone was looked after. Beers and waters are available at the hostel, saving a trip into town. Relatively close to Filikuri beach (even if it is a bit of a climb down).

Stayed in July 2024

Best hostel in town if you are looking for peaceful and authenticity. The view is amazing and you can look at the sunset every evening. Yaya, the owner is so nice and did a lot of things to made our life easier. You just need 15 minutes walking to reach Filikuri beach which is great. I had booked 2 nights and I finally stayed 6.

All good, but we recommend taking a taxi up to the Hostel when you arrive, because carrying up your lagguage in the heat would be heavy

Jaja is a super nice and cute host and took good care of us. The view from the terrasse is amazing, also the big advantage is the aircon in each room.

Stayed in July 2024

The bathroom shower is tiny and the shower head sprayed water in all directions so getting water all over the bathroom floor is inevitable.

The view is worth the hike up the hill. The hammock chair is a great spot to sit and observe the view. The bed was very comfortable! The host and her husband were very kind. They are interested in different cultures and I enjoyed chatting with them.

Stayed in July 2024

The view is amazing. The rooms are clean and equipped with AC. The energy is very positive and Jaja tries her best to make everyone happy.

A minor downside is that hostel owner does not speak english, only greek and albanian. This can make communication challenging if you don't happen to speak those languages. Additionally, the shower has a curtain instead of a cubicle, so water can easily get onto the bathroom floor.

The best thing about this place is the picturesque view. Perched on a hill, it offers a fantastic panorama of Himara. It's also conveniently close to Filikuri Beach, which is probably the best beach I've ever been to. The air conditioning works well, and there's a fridge in each room. The terrace is a great spot to relax and socialize. Drinks, including water, beer, and coffee, are very reasonably priced. The breakfast for €4 is excellent value, providing a substantial meal that will likely keep you full until dinner. You'll feel right at home at this hostel. While it's sociable, it's not a party hostel, making it perfect for a relaxing stay.
