Reviews of Shotgun Hostel & Guesthouse

The people running the hostel were very nice and friendly. The location was very good too, next to famous beaches.The main room is in a cave which was kind of nice since it was really hot and there is no air conditioning. There is a very nice restaurant down the road (5 min walk).

There is only one bathroom for the guests and a second toilet (which was not very clean). The electricity is sometimes not working. The breakfast was too simple but cheap. The price for the room (65 euros) was too expensive for what it actually was !

Great location between all the main beaches, fantastic views from the hostel and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Also amazing breakfast! Would recommend as a great authentic Albanian stay 😊

We had a few power cuts in the town but this was beyond the owners control, but just wanted to note if others plan to remote work from there as I did!

Wonderful location, wonderful hosts. Very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Felt very welcoming to everyone. Fantastic views. Highly recommend staying here over in Himarë. Vuno and Shitgun hostel are fantastic.

It’s a part of traveling, and it’s important to just adapt and go with it but the electricity and WiFi did go out when I was there…no big deal just reminded me to live in the moment and put down my phone.

Loved this place. I always wanted to stay in one of the village houses and the hostel gives you that experience. The hosts are lovely and I would highly recommend to try the food they prepare. Stay in Vuno, there are many things to see, hike, and do around the area to get a great "south" experience.

A cozy little hostel in a very nice location. The hostel is run by a very friendly couple. I felt very comfortable there and would book it again.

The owners were very friendly and helpful with advise for places to explore

its a vibe, hosts are lovely :)

The hostel was beautiful - the view and facilities were total magic and Vuno is the best place to stay in this region hands down as you can easily explore all the coastline. It was super small - just two rooms. One dorm and one 'private'

We found our stay quite uncomfortable. We booked the private room which despite being in a hostel was the most expensive of our trip. The 'private room' turned out to be the bedroom of the couple who owned the hostel and they slept outside our door on a mattress on the ground. This would have been a total vibe normally but honestly, they made us feel unwelcome and like we were intruding on their space... they also charged us for a late check out without warning us... (we texted to check if it was ok) overall just got very passive-aggressive energy and we just felt really uncomfortable the whole time

Staying at Shotgun is such a unique and authentic experience. Bree and Adrian have created such a cosy place and their charisma makes everyone feel so at ease, as if visiting old friends. We had breakfast and dinner at the hostel which were super healthy, delicious and at great prices. I loved staying there and will definitely return next summer.

Great location tucked away in the Albanian hills, close to some stunning beaches and the cutest little town of Vuno. It felt like I was staying in a very traditional Albanian home. The hostel hosts are so lovely and helpful. The food is excellent and well priced, coffee is great and got some good local recommendations for the rest of my trip around Albania. One of the better hostels I've stayed in. If you are driving make sure you park in town, and then it's a short walk to the hostel.

The views from the terrace are amazing, very quiet and relaxing place to spend a few days. Kind of hippy/rustic style, there are 2 dogs and one cat that keep you company. Camila was super kind and helpful, she did her best to make my stay a great experience. She was lovely to talk to and gave me great recommendations on things to do. I would definitely stay at this hostel again, Vuno is a beautiful and charming village!

My bed wasn't comfortable at all, I think the mattress should be renewed as soon as possible. Therefore, I felt the price was too high for such bed, I understand the views are great but commodity should always be a priority when pricing a bed / room. Thanks to Camila, who offered me a change of bed without hesitations, I could at least sleep well the following night.

Everything beautiful hostel😍 really kind people, the view, the place the food everything was amazing! They even recommend great things to do! If I ever come back to Albania I will definitely stay here again💙

Located in a beautiful village with amazing sea view. Adorable dogs and a cat. This is an old traditional house, renovated by the hostel owners

Be aware that there is still a significant hike to gjipe( around 1.5 ) hours

What a view

A really beautiful building with lovely common areas that had a sea view. Staff were lovely and accommodating with a reasonably late check-in. Some of our group stayed in the private room which was beautifully decorated and very spacious. The breakfast in the morning was also very delicious.

We stayed just the one night out of our 3 night booking as we found the rooms too hot without air conditioning or adequate fans (1 fan in an 6 bed dorm overnight when it didn't hit under 32 degrees Celsius), a shame because we otherwise loved the accommodation!

The hostel is located in a lovely village. The owners are really nice and helpful, they cook tasty breakfasts. The hostel is atypical and very cute! Nice play to stay in the area.

The beds are not very comfortable. Only one shower and toilet for the whole hostel (around 15 to 20 people can be in the hostel at the same time maximum I would say)

Very welcoming feel, the communal space was fantastic. Bree helped was fantastic with giving recommendations and providing everything needed.
