    Klaus the owner was very hospitable and made you feel at home. For a new hostel it is amazing and they are open to new ideas as well! If you come to Shkoder stay here!

    Breakfast was a bit of disappointment. I mean it was good, just not as outstanding as some reviews claim (bread, butter, cheese, jam, ham and excellent served coffee).

    Nice outside tables for seating and good wifi. We stayed in double room, which actually has 3 beds. It was ok, but nothing special.

    An all-family-run hostel in which one has the impression of being in one's own home. Located just a 10-minute walk from the centre of Shkodra, it is a suitable place to stay in peace, serenity and tranquillity. Helpful, friendly and kind staff.

    No coffee for breakfast

    There isn't really anything bad you can say,the owners are super nice, the place is very clean, i wish breakfast had coffee, but the basic breakfast enough for me. Remember what you pay, so can't really moan. The outside space is sooo nice to relax. I scored a 9, only reason not a 10 is the location for me, but they do rent bikes so it is easy to get aroumd. Stay here, you won't regret it. Keep up the good work!

    I am so thankful for this wonderful time in this beautiful hostel. There is a lot of love in this hostel and I felt it every day! It's a family business, the host built and painted all the furniture in the garden himself. The jam for breakfast is delicious and made by mom herself. The hostel appealed to me because of the pictures and because there is an animal shelter «animalsneedme» near the hostel. So if you are interested in volunteering at an animal shelter, just want to visit Shkoder or go for a hike, the hostel is absolutely perfect. You can easily go by foot or bike everywhere which you can rent in the hostel for a cheap price. You can relax in the garden and sleep super comfortably. I will definitely come back and definitely for a longer time. I recommend this place to everyone who wants to have a good time in Shkoder. You are warmly welcomed and everything is just perfect here. I felt at home!

    We stayed there 2 nights in between the hikes. we were able to leave our backpack, which was great for us. Also the hosted and his parents were super nice, even with a bit of a language barrier. You can rent a bicycle there for a few euros for sightseeing, which is super relaxed when you only have half a day. And it is possible to do some laundry!! Beautiful and relaxed garden, to have some rest before you go hiking in Theth or/and Valbona.
