    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Dont book it if you dont like walking up hill. Idm at all tho.

    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!

    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.

    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 :)

    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

    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 up on a hill (approx 10 minute walk uphill from the beach if using the shortcut). don’t trust google maps too much because there are stairs not marked on the map. If u use the shortcut it makes the road shorter - but it’s still a bit of a hike. I don’t mind but might be good to be aware of it, especially since the shortcut would be through alleys ( i felt pretty safe but not everyone might be comfortable walking alone there at night).

    Very clean and great facilities such as free use of the laundry and a nice kitchen. Rooms and common eras were kept tidy. Polite and helpful staff.

    I liked this place so much that I decided to extend and stay for maybe a month or so. Bedrooms are really spacious and tidy. Every bed has curtains for privacy which is very cool. Nice and helpful people running the hostel (the mother and two sons). Quiet and peaceful place to enjoy Sarande. Beautiful beach view from the windows as well
