The warmest and most friendly staff at the wanderers. We stayed an additional night in shkoder than originally planned with no issues from the hostel. We didn’t get to do the valbone to Theth hike bc of the season so April not really ideal for that.

Not the end of the world, as long as you've prepared for your trip/stay, you will be fine: - The pull-down blinds in the room were broken and noise travels - take good eye masks and ear plugs. - Reception was supposed to be open from 5:30 and breakfast at 6:00 on the morning we were due to travel to Valbona but the keycards wouldn't work and staff were unavailable until we called them via phone. Had to wait for doors to be opened and breakfast to be set, which made it quite rushed (especially for those of us who wanted to use our private bathrooms before completely checking out). This doesn't seem to be a common issue and they're fine with you grabbing a few breakfast bits to take on the journey.

Stayed here for a night before heading to Valbona: - We had a private room booked, which was quite literally a stone's throw away from the main communal area. It seems they have a few buildings scattered around locally. - Staff introduced us to various sights in Shkoder and explained how travel for the Valbona-Theth hike would work; you take a bus/small coach to Lake Komani, where you board a ferry to Fierza. From there, you get another bus/small coach that takes you to your Valbona guesthouse. It costs €26 per person for the trip, and possibly a bit more if Wanderer's book your guesthouse for you (we booked our own closer to the start of the trail). - The room was clean and had plenty of space for two people (could have fit four max), and were provided basic towels and bedding. - There was a free dinner offered which was made my a staff member (I think), very nice touch. - Held our luggage (unlocked room as others have mentioned) while we hiked in the north, and then warmly welcomed us back when we went to pick up. - We didn't use a lot of the facilities but it's like they'd thought of everything: access to a kitchen, free pasta/rice/coffee/tea, washing machine and dryer (payment taken), bikes for hire etc.

This is a super fun hostel to stay at with travellers from all over the world! It's a young, fun vibe - free raki shots and karaoke at night. We stayed in the secondary building a few blocks away which was very quiet. The staff is very helpful and had great recommendations. They helped us arrange our trip into the mountains for the Komani Lake ferry and Valbone-Theth hike and allowed us to store our bags.

Very helpful staff who give you a map and rundown of Shkodër on arrival. Also they help book transport for the Theth to Valbona hike and let you store luggage while you complete the hike which is super handy. They also have a great bar and fun events such as a free dinner that was put on by staff.

The breakfast, dinner, and staff are the best things about this hostel. They will help you with everything for the Valbonë-Theth hike.

Nothing!

This place has a great atmosphere, and the staff were really nice and helpful. We stayed in a private room on the top floor that had AC and was far enough away from the noise of the street. The bathroom was clean. Breakfast is the best spread I’ve ever seen for a hostel. Fresh bourek, pastries, fruit, meat, cheese, etc. We kept our bags there for a few days when we went to Valbone/Theth

Ping Pong and free Raki. Staff very friendly, singing karaoke with Peri was great fun.

Stayed in August 2024

There was everything we needed - ok beds, a/c, toilet in our room. What we really loved was the atmosphere - friendly staff who gave us a map and explained where to go and what’s worth to see. We loved the common areas - protected by walls from the city, full of green, many comfy couches, ping pong table, bikes for rent (3eur/day)

Stayed in August 2024

The bathroom situation was a little mixed as there was only a few available for the whole building with no AC units.

Staff was amazing. They helped organize everything for the Valbone/Theth Hike. They went above and beyond to help us. They are the reason to stay here. Rooms were well set up with AC units inside.

It does get noisy at night from live music playing in the street. Would be great if the window/door to balcony was soundproofed !

Great location if you want to do the Valbone to Theth hike! The staff very helpful to arrange transport for you. Rooms are cosy but really clean and the crisp cold aircon was much appreciated after active, sweaty days! Hostel has a good vibe and nice chill out area. Close to bars/shops/cafes :)

No complaints.

Staff were so friendly and helpful with organising the hike for us and other activities we wanted to do. They stored our luggage for free and also had free dinners most nights.

Good location, expect a bit of music in the area but great value for money, very helpful with organising travel to the mountains.

The hostel helped us organise the travel to Valbona and also had the option to leave our bigger backpacks there while doing the hike which was really helpful. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and recommended restaurants and were to take cash out with a lower commission. I would highly recommend the hostel to anyone planning to do the hike and be stress free. The hostel is also in the centre and very close to lots of restaurants and bars.
