We had a few power cuts in the town but this was beyond the owners control, but just wanted to note if others plan to remote work from there as I did!

Great location between all the main beaches, fantastic views from the hostel and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Also amazing breakfast! Would recommend as a great authentic Albanian stay 😊

It’s a part of traveling, and it’s important to just adapt and go with it but the electricity and WiFi did go out when I was there…no big deal just reminded me to live in the moment and put down my phone.

Wonderful location, wonderful hosts. Very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Felt very welcoming to everyone. Fantastic views. Highly recommend staying here over in Himarë. Vuno and Shitgun hostel are fantastic.

Loved this place. I always wanted to stay in one of the village houses and the hostel gives you that experience. The hosts are lovely and I would highly recommend to try the food they prepare. Stay in Vuno, there are many things to see, hike, and do around the area to get a great "south" experience.

A cozy little hostel in a very nice location. The hostel is run by a very friendly couple. I felt very comfortable there and would book it again.

Staying at Shotgun is such a unique and authentic experience. Bree and Adrian have created such a cosy place and their charisma makes everyone feel so at ease, as if visiting old friends. We had breakfast and dinner at the hostel which were super healthy, delicious and at great prices. I loved staying there and will definitely return next summer.

Great location tucked away in the Albanian hills, close to some stunning beaches and the cutest little town of Vuno. It felt like I was staying in a very traditional Albanian home. The hostel hosts are so lovely and helpful. The food is excellent and well priced, coffee is great and got some good local recommendations for the rest of my trip around Albania. One of the better hostels I've stayed in. If you are driving make sure you park in town, and then it's a short walk to the hostel.

My bed wasn't comfortable at all, I think the mattress should be renewed as soon as possible. Therefore, I felt the price was too high for such bed, I understand the views are great but commodity should always be a priority when pricing a bed / room. Thanks to Camila, who offered me a change of bed without hesitations, I could at least sleep well the following night.

The views from the terrace are amazing, very quiet and relaxing place to spend a few days. Kind of hippy/rustic style, there are 2 dogs and one cat that keep you company. Camila was super kind and helpful, she did her best to make my stay a great experience. She was lovely to talk to and gave me great recommendations on things to do. I would definitely stay at this hostel again, Vuno is a beautiful and charming village!

Be aware that there is still a significant hike to gjipe( around 1.5 ) hours

Located in a beautiful village with amazing sea view. Adorable dogs and a cat. This is an old traditional house, renovated by the hostel owners

What a view

We stayed just the one night out of our 3 night booking as we found the rooms too hot without air conditioning or adequate fans (1 fan in an 6 bed dorm overnight when it didn't hit under 32 degrees Celsius), a shame because we otherwise loved the accommodation!

A really beautiful building with lovely common areas that had a sea view. Staff were lovely and accommodating with a reasonably late check-in. Some of our group stayed in the private room which was beautifully decorated and very spacious. The breakfast in the morning was also very delicious.

The beds are not very comfortable. Only one shower and toilet for the whole hostel (around 15 to 20 people can be in the hostel at the same time maximum I would say)

The hostel is located in a lovely village. The owners are really nice and helpful, they cook tasty breakfasts. The hostel is atypical and very cute! Nice play to stay in the area.

Very welcoming feel, the communal space was fantastic. Bree helped was fantastic with giving recommendations and providing everything needed.

Some other guests on the last night considerate when coming in the middle of the night to the room. But most of the other guests were chill as well.

The hosts care about the guests. I was about to do a hike on Maja e Cikes and Adrian made sure I had thought this through and showed me the possible trails in 3D. In general, Vuno is a very calm and relaxing village. The atmosphere is also lived in the hostel. The staff knows the area and can give good recommendations.

Just a shower and two toilettes was not ideal. If the place had been fully booked, it would have been a major issue.

Breakfast was great and the overall feeling and people was full of good vibes (ymmv)

Great accommodation, well equipped, friendly and helpful staff. Great view and location! We personally rented a scooter to be more mobile, we’d recommend it for this area!

A really atypical hostel I truly enjoyed for a day and would definitely recommend for a bit longer ! The house is beautifully restored and very welcoming. The terrace easily engages anyone to sit around and it feels like home. Bree and Adrian made this place truly unique, and it seems to attract really great and interesting people to meet there too, like a little refuge to escape the loud and busy Riviera . That was a short stop but my favourite hostel in Albania ! ☺️ The village of Vuno is also really nice to just walk around.

Another fan or 2 in the room would’ve been nice as it gets very hot in there in the middle of summer

Had an amazing time here! The house is beautiful and well-decorated with a nice terrace. Everything was exceptionally clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast was lovely, and the owners organized a really nice beach bbq for everyone. A great experience overall.
