Saranda Backpackers

Great host. Very friendly and knowledgeable guy.

Nothing

Hostel is right next to the port and promenade. Location is amazing. Tomi was an incredible host, really knows how to take care of his guests! Met lots of people solo travelling, great atmosphere for making new friends.

Facilities could be better, showers specifically

Best decision of my trip. I arrived on the Corfu ferry and the hostel is a three minute walk from the terminal, with the beach right across the road and the bus station just above for Butrint and Ksamil. Check-in starts at noon, so I could drop my bag and start my day straight away instead of killing two hours somewhere. Tomi is what makes this place. He mapped out my whole week for me, told me honestly which restaurants were worth it and which ones to skip, and sorted transport to Butrint for a fraction of what the agencies in town charge. Nothing is ever a problem for him. It is a small hostel, and that is exactly why it works. You end up talking to everyone. If you are travelling solo in Saranda, stay here.

The owner of the hostel was extremely kind and welcoming

The toilets and showers were very dirty, and the bed was uncomfortable
