I stayed for 2 weeks at Festim's hostel in Vlora and had a great experience. We would do 5 hour shift each day to check-in guests and manage the hostel while the owners were out. Festim was very flexible and easy to communicate with. During days off we could visit nearby cities, with Vlora being very well connected by bus.

☺️ The Hostel is very nice, close to the beach, excellent location, safe, fun and I made friends with several guests. I recommend them. Thank you for having me in your hostel, hope to see you… read more

I had a great time at Festim's hostel. He is a really nice guy, always trying to make you feel at home.
He took me to a boat trip, he showed me the city, made me feel comfortable all the time.
The help is not hard, usual duties of a hostel, cleaning, making the beds, interacting with the guests.
I totally recommend Festim as a host.
