This guesthouse had amazing views over the valley from a lovely balconied seating area. There were cute cats, dogs and cows to play with and the hosts were very helpful in arranging transport for us back to Shkodër. The room and shower was also clean and comfortable.

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.

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.

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.

This lovely family guest house is just a 7 min walk from the Teth center. You will feel right at home immediately with their recommendations for visits (the host speaks fluent english) and the lovely home-coooked food. The house is beautiful with a magnificent view on the mountains. If you’re looking to stay in a typical Albanian guest house where the host care about their guests, look no further!

Could have been more hooks in the bedroom for things like towels or jackets!
We had an AMAZING stay at Gjin Thana. The guesthouse exceeded our expectations by far. The location and views were epic. The family who run the guesthouse are very kind and were like friends by the end of our stay. They make the best homemade wine, reiki, and food. The included breakfast was great and they were even nice enough to pack us some 'to-go' on the day we left for our long hike to Valbona (which you can start right in their backyard). The dinner they offer for 10 Euros was incredible - fresh, local, healthy, and huge portions! Also, the WIFI is surprisingly very strong. We were able to do some work/make calls the day we arrived. Also appreciated that they picked us up in town the day we arrived via bus from Shkoder. It was really hard to leave. Would love to come back one day. Don't think twice, book this place.

When walking the Peaks of the Balkan we named this guesthouse 'Quintana' after the famous Colombian cyclist who excells in mountain races. It was our goal to be as successful as him in the mountain hikes. After a good day of walking we arrived here and we were kindly greeted by the owner. The rooms are nice. Breakfast is outstanding: pancakes with honey and jam, eggs, fruits, and this really salty cheese people tend to eat in Albania. When we left the owner gave us some sandwiches for our next trip. The people in Albania are kind and helpful. Do not be frightened if somebody offers to help you. It is with good intentions.

We loved our stay at Gjin Thana! Friendly staff and the food was delicious, we ate breakfast and dinner both nights. This guesthouse is particularly great if you are hiking the Valbone pass as it is situated right at the base of the trail. The view from the guesthouse is spectacular and we even saw some fireflies on the path by the house.
