Lock in a great price for Guesthouse "Gjin Thana" – rated 9.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

Super friendly staff. Amazing view and location. The guest house was comfortable and clean, with a fireplace, a delicious breakfast, and had fresh grapes and walnuts from the garden.

Jared, Slovenia

We loved everything about our stay! Great hospitality, amazing food and really great location !

Katrin, Austria

The host and his family were the nicest people. He was really helpful in showing us around, helped us find a ride back to Shkoder and made sure everyone was comfortable. Also, the food was amazing and they cooked delicious vegan options as well. Would recommend 100%, will definitely go back.

Liana, United States of America

Location. Awesome view. Thanks for the late dinner.

César, Portugal

The dinner is amazing and worth the price. it had a beautiful traditional feel and setting. It was located close to the hiking trail.

Damien, United States of America

Loved everything about this guesthouse. My partner and I only stayed for two nights but the hospitality was amazing. The meals prepared were the best we had in Albania. Also, make sure to try the grapes! We also bought some of their homemade wine before we left, which was delicious. Great location, with hikes, waterfalls, and a traditional village nearby. There was no wifi but that wasn't a problem for us. It was good to just enjoy the scenery, and play with the cats and dog they had at the property.

Anastasia, Netherlands

Though the rooms are somewhat basic here (WiFi connection isn't available yet...), the triple room with its private bathroom is specious, comfortable and has outstanding views from its windows. Erion and his family were really friendly, attentive and helpful. They always tried their best to satisfy us. Breakfast and dinner, which are served in the beautiful garden (looking over magnificent views of the valley surrounded by impressive mountains) were very delicious, aesthetic and extremely generous. We highly recommend Guesthouse Thana to everyone!

Yedidya, Israel

The meals were massive and delicious. I would recommend anyone staying here, provided you can make it down and up the mountain road in your car.

Anonymous, United States of America

Location at the end of the village, thanks why it is quiet and peaceful. Contact with the host very good. Erion and his family are very nice and helpful. Food from the home garden. A lot of delicious food!!! We have not eaten such good food anywhere else. Food cooked by mum with love:) I wholeheartedly recommend this place because of the magic of the place, wonderful hosts and unique atmosphere. How to get back to Theth is just there! Thanks for everything.

We travelled to Theth with my girlfriend for the mountain but we fell in love with the house and the hosts. We really enjoyed our stay and will certainly go back again. The hosts were kind and always helpful, the abundance of food was staggering and the taste was amazing. If you come from a Balkan country you will feel like at your grandma's home. The house had a great location with a beautiful view. It was clean, the bathroom was fully equipped. The service was also one of the very best I have seen. The day of our check-out we couldn't stay for breakfast, so they gave us some money back for not having breakfast. How amazing is that!

It is to bad that relatives of the owner are building another guesthouse that is too big and too close in proximity to the original family home. Thethi needs a rural development plan before it is ruined!
Original stone house in a lovely setting in Theth with a beautiful view down the valley. Very attentive family and great dinner and breakfast!

“Best valley views in Theth”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Quadruple Room with Private Bathroom
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Theth is full of backpackers doing the big walks so book ahead as places get full in summer. Theth is shut in winter due to snow. These are not dislikes, but just letting you know it can cause problems if you do not know the area.
Because of its elevated position, we think it has the best views down the valley. Owners very willing to please and looked after us well during our three night stay. Food very rich and plentiful, both mountain foods and Mediterranean dishes at reasonable prices. Our room had a double and two single beds and was quite spacious with views of mountains. Bathroom adequate and spacious. Always had hot water but electricity at times was off in the whole of the area due to its location. WiFi available in village at various places but owners offered to use their phones if we needed it. Garden and outside dining area very quiet and interesting views. Grapes, apples, pears etc all growing around you. We got a minibus from Shkoder and he dropped us off at the guest house else I don't think we would have found it so easily as there is no sign....We hope owners will put a sign up soon. We paid ten euros each. The road is a rough dirt track with many twists and turns so if you drive there, be careful. Superb scenery but gets a bit touristy especially at weekends. This guest house is however away from the main centre and we found it quiet enough. There is a small shop selling a few groceries and a few cafes and restaurants. There is a tourist information centre a!so. To get to the guest house, you go past the shop/bar and when you see two signs for other hotels, this is where you turn off in their direction to the right and the guest house is at the top....Until you can go no further. Here is a car parking space. Owners speak good English and we liked the perfumed linen on the beds. Plenty of walking opportunities, other than the usual hikes.

“Tranquil”
- • Leisure trip

- • Triple Room with Private Bathroom
- • Stayed 1 night
There is only one socket in the room that is far than enough is more than one people stay there. The meal offered was far more than enough and too salty. Dinner time (1930 the earliest) is rather late for people after trekking. Have a good lunch or prepare some snack with you. There's almost no restaurant nearby. A signboard of the guesthouse is appreciated.
Check-in is real speedy as the host was expecting me. The stone house was pretty and clean inside. Look at the sky at night you would find stars shining. Dinner offered food far more than enough. You would have soups and bread, fried potatoes, cheese with tomatos, fried eggplants, pizza, meat, salad, cake ...... Breakfast was very good as well with lots of bread, salad, fried egg, Albanian round donut (?), juice, homemake honey and jam...The daughter of the host was friendly and helpful. She answered every questions and arranged a furgon to Shkodar very quickly. Staying in Thethi and this guesthouse made me forget about the outside world and just let time passed by.
