We had a really nice and funny stay. We enjoyed our time in Shkoder and with the help of the friendly host we had an amazing experience. Klausi was friendly and booked the hike for us, we didn't had to worry about anything! The room and the bathroom were clean and we would recommend The Hood Hostel definitely. Thankyouuu💝 Delia Sophie Laura Dina🌸✨

Clause was extremely accommodating- I arrived at 2:00am and was able to make it to my bed. Friendly hosts, nice bathroom/shower and comfy beds. You can also rent a bike for cheap which is a big bonus. I came in the slow season so it wasn’t busy but I’m sure during the summer the lawn area will be a blast.

I really enjoyed staying in this hostel! Even though it was the end of the season, so there weren’t many other travellers, the owners made us feel welcome and helped us to have the best time!! We also booked our trip to Valbone/Theth through here.

Brilliant hostel. Very clean, very comfy, friendly atmosphere. Klaus was a fantastic host who helped us arrange 2 x tours. He went out of his way many times to help us. No if, buts or maybes - he’s the best in the world mate.

Sehr ruhiges Hostel eher am Rande von Shkodër. Schöner außen Bereich mit tollen Sitzmöglichkeiten. Leider gab es keine Küche und auch weder Frühstück noch Abendessen und keine geplanten Aktivitäten. Gut für Paare oder kleine Gruppen, die es gerne entspannt mögen. Als Solo- traveller würde ich es eher nicht empfehlen.

Super quiet area that's a few minutes' walk from the heart of Shkoder. The yard is a great casual area to hang out, and Klaus is super fun and helpful. Luggage storage while I was hiking was a huge plus!

Sehr gechillte Atmosphäre, wunderschöner Garten herzliche GastgeberInnen. Als die Mutter bemerkt hat, dass mir die vorherige Nacht kalt war, hab ich noch eine Decke bekommen. Klaus ist ein sehr lustiger host und hält die Unterhaltungsrunden am Abend im Garten am Leben. Sehr entspannte Atmosphäre und gut zum Runterkommen, vor allem wenn man einen Trip nach Valbona/Theth vor hat, den man übrigens sehr gut gemeinsam mit dem Hostel organisieren kann.

We had a great stay! The place is super cute and has a chilled atmosphere and a good vibe! We met nice people and the transportation and accomodation for the hike Valbona to Theth was organized for us. Restaurants were closeby and the main streets with many bars/restaurants could be reached within like 10/15 minutes of walking. Only downside is that there is no kitchen to cook.

Loved staying here. Klaus is super helpful, took care of booking everything I needed for the Valbona-Teth hike. Held my luggage for that time also, and he's just a riot! Highly recommend staying here in Shkoder

It’s fine, but we also stayed at other hostels in Shkodër which were a lot more welcoming and had more information on activities and outings for the social aspect of the hostel.

I didn’t stay long at this location but it was nice and clean and it felt comfortable. They had bikes to rent for the day for €5, the bikes were very run down but did the job to get me to the lake. There were only 2 bathrooms inside with a shower and I believe one outside but I never had to wait too long to be able to get into one of them.

Die Private Rooms sind süße kleine Holzhäuschen, die glücklicherweise auch eine Klimaanlage haben. Man kann für den Valbona-Teth Hike Transport und Unterkünfte buchen. Auch Trips zum Shala river sind möglich, aber leider ist beides nicht kombinierbar. Leider muss man pro Tag Gepäckaufbewahrung 2€ zahlen, auch wenn man dort vorher/ nachher schläft…

Such an odd vibe. Stayed for two nights in the middle of August and was alone in a six person room for almost the entire time. The whole place is devoid of people, staff included. Good facilities and beds. No kitchen so you can’t really store or eat your own food. Location is pretty far from everything. If you’re looking to do nothing by yourself for a night, then this is the place for you.

We had an amazing stay at the Hood Hostel. Klaus was amazing and very accommodating and booked us a last minute trip to do the Valbona to Theth walk! We really appreciated the extra effort and we will definitely be back.
