This was the best hostel I have ever stayed in! Organized my valbona to theth for me, was so clean, and had free meals that was so tasty. Would 100% stay here again!

My favorite hostel. Extremely social, there’s a great bar and stunning indoor/outdoor garden and patio that’s just the perfect way to meet people and hang out. They do a fantastic job helping organize hiking trips into the Albanian alps - just go, they’ll help form groups and organize everything easily. Coolest guests and staff and the perfect mix of socializing and adventure. One of the best parts of my trip through the Balkans.

Geweldig hostel. De sfeer is top. Iedereen die er werkt is super aardig en sociaal. Gigi en Josef zijn mijn favoriete barmannen ooit. Over het algemeen, als je op zoek bent naar een hostel met sociale activiteiten en goed eten, maar niet de druk wil voelen om met iets mee te doen, kom hierheen!

Ein sehr schönes Hostel. Wir haben hier eine Nacht geschlafen, bevor es in die albanischen Alpen zum Wandern ging. Im Hostel wurde uns geholfen dafür den Transport zu organisieren und sie hatten generell viele gute Tipps! Frühstück und Abendessen war inklusive und unser großes Gepäckstück konnten wir auch kostenlos im Hostel lassen während wir wandern waren.

Very good atmosphere! The included dinner was well worth the extra money compared to other hostels in the area. Very social naturally and the karaoke night was legendary! The sleeping quarters were across the street of the common area so if you wanted to go to sleep early it was no problem. The common area was basically outside and in October it was not the best, but understandable as the hostel is not open in the winter. The beds were basic, nothing special and the rooms were cleaned daily.

Wanderers is a top-tier hostel and, without a doubt, the best place to stay in Shkoder. Incredibly social vibe, great hostel activities (including meals every night), and the staff are great. Staying here before Valbona to Theth is a must, but even apart from that, it's a great vibe and time.

Amazing hostel. Really friendly and helpful staff. Booking the hikes with them is so easy and you stay in some really nice guesthouses. Great social atmosphere and the free dinners and free shots are a really nice touch. I ended up staying here longer than I planned to hang out with people I met. Definitely recommend if staying in Shkoder and doing the hikes up in Theth and Valbonë.
