Un havre de paix face aux montagnes
Pros:

Charmant hôtel entourés des magnifiques montagnes de Valbone. Le cadre est splendide et le personnel est très accueillant. Nous avons très bien mangé que ce soit pour le dîner comme le petit déjeuner. Emplacement idéal pour démarrer le trek jusqu’à Theth.

Cons:

Nous avons été servis en dernier alors que d’autres personnes sont arrivées après nous au dîner. Longue attente mais aucune incidence sur la qualité de notre séjour, mais c’est bien de le souligner

A satisfying stay in a lovely guesthouse
Pros:

The location was perfect - the first or one of the first guesthouses after hiking from Theth. The food was absolutely delicious and Janet, the owner, was so kind to help us coordinate and book our route back to Theth via the bus/ferry/taxi route when we realized hiking back would be too dangerous due to rain.

Cons:

The hot water in our room took about an hour to kick in — I think there was some mix-up with the boiler not being turned on — but once it was working it was very hot. The rooms are quite spare but comfortable and it would be worth checking if you can get a mountain-facing room because ours looked out onto a side space that wasn’t stunning as the mountain views no doubt would be.

Prachtig uitzicht, fijne buitenplaats
Pros:

Het uitzicht is werkelijk prachtig en de buitenplaats is een hele vredige plek om te zitten. Toen het onweerde hebben we heerlijk spelletjes kunnen spelen onder de overkapping. Daarnaast ligt deze accommodatie vlakbij de start van de Valbona - Theth hike.

Cons:

Het eten vonden wij wat tegenvallen. Vermoedelijk zijn ze hier erg goed in de bereiding van vlees, maar wij zijn niet zulke grote vleeseters.

De eetkamer mist nog wat sfeer/gezelligheid.

Homely, quaint, peaceful
Pros:

Fantastic homely and peaceful stay. Manager and her family were so welcoming, kind and accommodating to our needs (eg gluten free). Location is spectacular, and also quite conveniently situated near the start of the Theth trail. The area overall felt very quaint and cutesy. Would definitely recommend. Thank you, Janet, Fabian and Adrian!

Great stay after hiking!
Pros:

Perfect location to begin your hike to Theth. We took the ferry and bus which dropped you off on the main road - 10 minute walk to the hotel. Breakfast is included and begins at 7am. Don’t skip out on the breakfast it was great and got you ready for the day. Staff were so friendly and helpful. We ordered dinner and it was delicious. Room was comfortable and warm. The best balcony views!

Great spot to stay before Valbona to Theth hike
Pros:

This hotel is located close to the start of the Valbona to Theth hiking trail. The staff were friendly and helpful, they made a packed lunch for me to take on the hike for only 700 Lek and directed me on the right path for the hike. The restaurant had tasty and well priced food including the complimentary breakfast. The room was comfortable and spacious, I even had a nice view from my window. Would recommend and would stay again.

Cons:

The sound proofing of the rooms was not great. All sounds from the hallway could be heard from inside the room. I was woken up at 5:30am by other guests in the hallway which wasn’t ideal.
