I stayed here with my girlfriend over the summer and we had an excellent time. Almost more important than the facilities at any given hostel is the community atmosphere - and Berat Backpackers really encourages interaction between the guests, in part by organizing dinners and tours. We were planning on only staying for a night or two, but ended up... More

Very nice place to stay, 3-levels with cosy terrasses, sitting areas, very nice view on the old town. Good place to meet people. Yummy breakfast (local cheese pies). Interesting guided tours offered by hodtel stuff.

Berat Backpackers is up a steep paved path, across the bridge coming from the town centre, good luck if you have a suitcase to carry, no problems with a backpack. Location-wise it's awesome, you are really immersed in nature, there’s a nice area where you can sit outside and you are surrounded by fruit trees, unluckily it was raining heavily... More

A little walk over the bridge and up the hill brings you to this friendly and pretty hostel, easy instructions how to get there on the website. The owner himself, Scotty, spent much of the time asleep on the outdoor sofa, but the rest of the staff are backpackers who have stayed for a few weeks as staff. All friendly... More

This is a really welcoming, easy-going hostel. I didn't see the rooms but we had a lovely shady spot to pitch our tent on the terrace. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The owners seem to know just what a backpacker wants. The facilities are great: kitchen, wifi, sitting areas, meals if wanted (tasty and a good price) and... More

I had a wonderful stay at 'Hostel Scotty' in Berat. The atmosphere is so chilled out, there is no fussing over rules and regulations. The owner wants people to have a great time in Berat. There isn't much night life in the town, so the outside lounge is ideal for socializing. There is home cooked dinner each evening for only... More

Planned to stay here for just 1 night but stayed for two (many guests stay longer than planned it seems). A really wonderful house on many levels with gorgeous outdoor terraces with great views. Although the house is really beautiful it was the outdoor area that, for me, was the icing on the cake - a really comfortable seating area,... More

Wow! I can't say enough good things about Berat Backpackers. My friend and I booked the private room which had a double bed and ensuite bathroom and was very clean. It was cold at night, but we had a space heater and plenty of blankets. The breakfast was filling... bread/toast, jam, burek, etc. We had dinners at the hostel for... More

Great location in the quarter of Gorica (the christian quarter) opposite and facing the "thousand windows" of Berat. Very nice open-air space where chilling out and chatting with other guests. Rooms are comfortable, clean and cozy. Very poor breakfast (as in the whole albania, actually) and the bathroom was not so clean...
