    The attention of the lady in charge was good, she was very gentle and even offered to take us to the bus station the last day of our stay. At the beginning, she may seem rude, but she's not. It is just the way she speaks. The view from the hostel is very nice. The beds were comfortable.

    The location up in the hill is challenging. The bathroom was not always clean but also because other guests didn't leave the bathroom in good conditions after use. We felt, in some way that saying that hostel is by filikuri Beach is not that true as the way to arrive to filikuri Beach could be dangerous and the end we decided not to go (we liked the idea to meet that beach when we booked but it wasn't clear in the description).

    The hostel has great views, but other than that it’s terrible. It’s up the hill, so every day you need to hike (it’s steep). Then the welcoming lady is rude, last night she stormed in to the room and was claiming I didn’t pay, but I did. There is no privacy.. also the there is a terrace outside rooms, and when people gather there it’s super loud, impossible to sleep until 2am

    Great sunset view and nice to stay on a property with agricultural connections. Clean facilities.

    Rooms were more cramped than the photos let on. The staff had little grasp of English, which caused a lot of frustration for both parties and did not foster a welcoming environment.

    Nice view of the city

    Up a big hill that’s tough after doing it a few times without a car. Despite booking a 6 bed dorm, we were put in a 12 bed dorm. When we asked the host about this she didn’t seem to care and said the 6 bed is full so it’s here or nothing. Our bathroom also flooded.

    Worst hostel I have ever stayed in.

    If you like being yelled at by an old mean Albanian grandmother all the time then this is your place

    The host! She makes the stay so special. Also the view is just unreal.

    There aren’t enough outlets in the 6 person room. The shower could’ve been cleaner. No great way to make coffee.

    Excellent hostel, the lady who runs it (unfortunately forgot her name) is down to earth, and works extremely hard keeping up with the hostel. Extremely clean facilities, 5 minute walk from the nearest beach. Highly recommend.

    The walk up to the hostel can be a challenge, especially if you have heavy luggage, excluding that, was an absolutely pleasant stay.

    The hostel is wonderful. It's a beautiful house on a hill, with grape vines lining the path up to it. The owners are really lovely. Jennifer will go out of her way to help you. Those who think she's rude are wrong. Albanian is an aggressive sounding language, and her English isn't brilliant, so she finds other ways to make herself understood. She really is so nice. The view is spectacular. Don't get me wrong, if you're walking up that hill with all your bags in the afternoon sun, you will regret all of your life choices. But once you reach the top - wow! It's as far away from the main strip as it could be, which is nice so you get a bit of exercise.

    Great view of the sunset from the common area, the room was also very comfy. While we stayed there it was relatively quiet but also nice to socialise with other people staying there, not a party hostel by any means so it's also a good place to just unwind.

    The trek up isn't too bad but it's not the closest place from where the bus dropped us - so it is a bit of a walk. It does get super dark at night, but stargazing makes up for it ^^ Although the common area was nice, it is very small so there's not much space to go about around the hostel. Not sure of the other rooms, but in the room we stayed, the top bunks don't have power outlets so keep a powerbank charged and handy :)

    The breakfast was really good and the price even better. What I loved the most was the view and the people staying there. The host was very nice too and even gave me a ride to the bus stop. Filikuri beach was a fun experience but be careful coming down because a girl died recently trying to go down to the beach.

    Nothing. Even the hike up to the hostel was enjoyable.
