    Facilities are passable at best. Kitchen and fridges need a good clean out, and better maintenance. Rooms are quite small.

    Fantastic social hostel - lots of fun! Would definitely recommend.

    Nice hostel. Welcoming staff. It is clean. Super atmosphere. You can join many tours at cheap prices. Had a lot of fun.

    Bathrooms need hooks! and some ventilation. Other than that, it's a great spot.

    Great friendly hostel. Brilliant kitchen, nice outdoor space. Dorms were clean and spacious. Aircon in the rooms is great and needed in the summer! It's a short little walk into the centre of Himare, which was great for me as I prefer not to be right in the middle of town. It's easy to get everywhere, and a market nearby, etc.

    A good 15 minute walk from town was tough in the heat but you can rent bikes from the hostel to manage that

    Great vibe, the staff were super friendly and had lots of local knowledge. Hostel was super clean and rooms were nice and big with a wee kitchenette and balcony

    looks pretty and I can borrow the bike from them

    It would be great to have a few more shaded spots during the day to make hanging out in the common areas even more comfortable when the sun is strong.

    It has such nice vibes — clean, friendly, and with a great international atmosphere, that makes it easy to meet people from all over the world. The staff are incredibly helpful and welcoming. They organise well-planned excursions during the day. Himare has some of the most beautiful beaches I’ve seen! Crystal-clear water, clean, and perfect for swimming. A great spot to relax and enjoy the Albanian coast. Also different social activities every night at the hostel — perfect for solo travellers or anyone looking to connect. It’s about a 15-minute walk to the main beach and just 5 minutes from a bus stop, so it’s easy to get around. I originally planned to stay a few nights but ended up extending for 10 days. Definitely coming back again! Thanks, Faleminderit ☺️🙌

    So much i did not like here. I would never stay again or recommend. Avoid this place like the plague! Really poor customer service here. No one cared about guests. Most of the staff are untrained volunteers getting a free holiday. The woman who showed me around took 5 minutes to find my room & apologised saying it was her 2nd day & there was no training. I asked about the bbq & was told i would need wood etc. The manager actually fired up & used the bbq that night but had no thought to offer this to others. I was so annoyed to have to street park my car in albania. Who would have paid if my car was broken into ??? Oasis hostel ?? Booking.com I booked a carpark. There were none as advertised. I stayed here b/c of the carparking facility offered but there was none. Zero- The frontgate was on rollers & it was obvious if the staff had bothered they should open the frontgate & securely park 4-5 cars inside the hostel area where there was heaps of room. They could not be bothered. The manager dennis barked at me like a dog to move my car 150 meters away & park on the street. I had no choice but to leave my vehicle, belongings out on the street. Not secure ir safe parking. The kitchen is open air with no door. There are 3-5 cats here & they are in the kitchen, around food & into rubbish bins. As soon as i cooked chicken cats were everywhere. A volunteer told me to leave bones for the cats so i did & then the manager abused me. I would never stay here again. It was so uncomfortable-

    Located fairly centrally

    The fact that I had to leave!

    Everything. Deniz, who was managing the Oasis, was ever so helpful and friendly. When I arrived he informed me that he would be making pizza and it was fantastic. A really great vibe around the place and the other guests were such good fun. If you're looking for an inexpensive place to stay with a great atmosphere then look no further.

    The electric kept cutting out so did the cooker, power and Internet. There was a bedroom in the kitchen. Next to the counter... too close. People were sick and then next to food being made? Very unhygienic and it was hard not to wake them up Bathroom very slippery and poor drainage. It pours into kitchen and I slipped and cut open my toe and bashed it. It was hard to walk for a while after that. Maybe a better drain or a few non slip mats please. It's not in the town so is a distance. The chill out area is only benches outside. You tried to make the most money by fitting in as many as possible without thinking about the travellers.

    The volunteers were very lovely. Having a kitchen was a bonus to be able to cook for yourself. Beds were really comfy. The vibe was nice, the people were super friendly and sitting In the garden in the evening chatting was lovely They have good priced bikes.

    - no lock on bathroom door - Cold shower - No lock on room or reception, anyone can enter - No toilet paper when I arrived - Rude and unwelcoming volunteers - I stayed 3 nights and had to move bed 3 times because they kept assigning someone else to my bed - Kitchen was dirty - No soap provided in shower - Bathroom always wet and dirty, sink clogged I feel bad writing this because the owner seemed lovely but the volunteers had no idea what was going on, you didn’t know who was working there and who wasn’t and wouldn’t get acknowledged walking in to check in. I couldn’t wait to leave, unfortunately.

    One redeeming factor was comfy beds. Himarë is nice
