The Experience

We are looking for highly social volunteers to help with reception tasks, some cleaning, and events. You will spend a lot of time interacting with guests to create a warm, fun, and welcoming atmosphere. This can look like spending the evening playing board games with guests, chatting up shy travelers , or selling drinks to a busy crowd. People come to hostels in search of friendship and we would love your help in making sure they find it.

I had a great experience volunteering at the hostel! Walter and Brenna are great hosts and incredibly helpful. They are also very welcoming, they really make you feel at home. The work is very straightforward and easy and it is a great social environment with a good amount of down time. The local staff are so kind. It was my first World Packers experience and it was definitely amazing, I would 100% recommend.

I don't recommend this at all… is so perfect that anything after this it's not gonna be good enough. Brenna and Wouter are the best!! The make you feel really welcomed, the staff is also super nice, basically at the end it feels like been whit a family. Also the vibes in general of the hostal and the place make a perfect place for long term stays. Whit out a doubt the best decision that I could take to da volunteering here.

Best hosts I've ever had! The hostel itself is amazing, super clean and comfortable, the staff is incredible, specially the hosts Brenna and Wouter. Breakfast is free, they cook dinner 3 times a week and they give ingredients to cook the other meals. The work is basically check ins and keeping the place in order, and the hours are great as well, you have plenty of time to explore the hostel and the 2 free days give you enough time to go to other cities. Gjirokaster is a dreeeam, you can do everything walking and there is so much nature to explore. A place to feel home away from home <3
