Vlora Backpackers Hostel

The breakfast is really good and the place is nice

It get REALLY hot in the summer, they don’t have air conditionate and the only fan in the bedroom doesn’t seems to work very well, so I hasically couldn’t sleep for the two night I was there. There were also a lot ot mosquitos biting during the night

The reception girl was really nice and tried her very best to make up for the things that were not how they should be.

The room that we booked, the private room, appeared to be double booked. The reception girl told us we could stay in a dorm where we would be the only ones, so we agreed to sleep there. Unfortunately we didn’t really get any, there are woodworms in the beds which make very loud noises and are really distracting when you’re trying to get some sleep. Also it’s not very comforting knowing that there are worms eating the bed that you’re sleeping in. We immeadiately told the reception girl and she called her boss about it. She told us that we would get some of our money back the next day when the boss is present and told us again how sorry she is for the inconveniences, a nice gesture. The common outside area was at the other side of the wall of our room so you can hear every word that the other guests say until they go to sleep. The next day, after a night of very little sleep, we spoke to the owner. He didn’t apologize for anything, acted like he knew nothing of the promise that was made the night before and asked us in a not nice way what we wanted from him. When we tried to tell him that we felt mistreated by him his phone rang and he picked it up and held his hand up to show us that we should shut op. This happened twice during the conversation. We felt very angry and dissapointed and went away, planning to never ever return. Also the toilet and showers are really, really disgusting, and the water in the shower does not flush away immeadiately so if you’re planning to take a late shower, goodluck balancing on the edges. We’ve slept in many hostels before and are fully aware that this place is not expensive and that you should not expect too much of it, but we wouldn’t even sleep there if we were paid.
