Bathroom a little small to be sharing with 8 people but to be expected. Location is a fair way away from where the bus to Shkoder drops you off

Comfortable little home, friendly staff. Food was really tasty and very affordable. Stayed in the 4 bed shared room and had no problems at all.

Hot water ran out one night so I had to take a cold shower as I didn't want to wait until water heater warm the water. I read this in other comments so I was aware and I just went with the flow.

The location, the view, the restaurant/bar were great. The staff works very hard to keep everybody happy. I really enjoy staying in such historic house.

The staff are so welcoming and make you feel like you are part of their family, packing lunches for our hikes and giving recommendations for places to walk. As two girls hiking in a new country, we couldn't have asked for more and felt safe throughout the trip. We are definitely coming back in the summertime with more friends!!

I understand it's a mountain village so comfort is not high on the priority list, but multiple items in the room were not functional or broken. Perhaps because I was there end of season, luckily they have a full winter to make some reparations. :) Slightly on the expensive side for Albania and even for Theth, but I think this would be justified in summer when you can use the outside area.

Great location in Theth: fairly easy to reach (only last part is gravel, just make sure to stay on the asphalt until you reach the bridge closest to the guesthouse) and great starting point for majority of hikes. Friendly staff!

The electricity problem is common in this area. Water in the bathroom was not hot when the electricity was not there also i had difficulties to find the hostel in the night

Best hostel

A little bit cold in the room despite the heater, but they gave us extra blankets

Everything, the landscape was amazing, beds are comfortable, the food amazing (homemade soup fantastic!!). But the best was the staff, very kind and helpful with everything we need. We will back with no doubt!

A bit of a walk from where the transport left us off in Theth, approx 2km. Room was a little cold, heater was provided but it wasn’t great however the communal area was lovely and warm

Cosy communal area with a wood burner and great staff. Clean and safe with lovely cats and a dog. Fantastic breakfast included

The shower was a little small

Amazingly beautiful location and building. Comfy beds. Nice and convenient restaurant on site. Breakfast buffet was really nice 😊 they provide a welcome drink at check in as well! Make sure to book your seat on the bus back to Shkoder with the reception as soon as you check in, I saw many people think they could just head to the bus station and try to get a ride but there were not more spots left so they were left behind. The bus comes to the hotel around 10:00 to pick you up so it’s very convenient.

Free Raki on arrival from a super friendly owner!

Stayed in October 2023

I rode there by motorbike in the rain and night for hundreds of kilometers. When I stepped into the Shpella I was welcomed with rakija and hot meal. One of the kind place. Unique. I felt like I was in quentin tarantino movie there. Met amazing people and enjoyed every bit of it. I need to come back there one day.

My room was very basic. Maybe needs abit of renovation but I would still return here!

I visited in the off season and I loved it but I can see in the summer this is the place to be! Huge area outside for relaxing/ eating/ drinking. A beer shed, fire pit, hammocks :) The staff were on hand my whole stay but they do have a self serve system at the bar which I think is amazing. Breakfast was great & I had dinner 4 nights In a row - for a very good price. After staying in one other guest house here I'd definitely come back to Shpella, the communal area is more welcoming and the location and scenery are just the best.

Lovely communal feel, much like the proper mountain huts across Europe. Dorm room was cosy and had plenty of warm bedding. Food served at the restaurant was good quality hearty mountain food. Nice warm wood burner to sit by in the restaurant too! Staff were extremely welcoming & helpful throughout the stay.

Nothing to dislike.

Breakfast is the best ! Restaurant is excellent! Parking is available! Animals at guesthouse are friendly! People are nice! PERFECT STAY

The guesthouse was well signposted in the town so easy to find. Staff were very welcoming and helpful and let us check in early. Room was basic but comfortable for three adults in a room, with nice hot showers. The dinner was AMAZING, fresh, delicious and all cooked in front of the fire was super cosy. Breakfast spread was sizeable as well. Great stop before setting off for the hike!

The only thing maybe that there was one bathroom for a lot of people and it's tiny. I guess because of the age of the building.

The location is perfect, beautiful views all around. The breakfast is tasty and plenty. The restaurant serves nice food all day. Welcoming staff.

The location in google maps seems a bit confusing.

The staff are really lovely and nice! :) they were very considerate, warm, and welcoming!

the breakfast was very poor

Perfect location, beautiful garden area. The room was basic but with atmospheric decor. Fortunately, there was an electric heater because it was cold at night. Friendly staff

They have less space inside of the guesthouse, therefore most of the guest need to sit outside for diner and breakfast. With lover temperatures in the evening isn't that a nice thing, you get very cold.

We loved our stay out Shpella Guesthouse, it's a beautiful place with a traditional look and feel. Our room was very comfortable and has a good temperature. The food exceeded our expectations, it was really good.

Bed wasn’t very comfortable and the location was very far from the start of the Valbone hike

Beautiful garden area, spacious rooms, large amount of breakfast food

Only one shower and toilet combined, Nowhere to hang clothes in the shower, No shower curtain to keep your things from getting wet :(

Very beautiful, Lots of space to sit and relax
