    Small room, and the bathroom had shower over toilet, everything gets wet. Probably our most expensive room we have had to pay so far. But no huge regrets. 1.4 km from centre

    Like the restaurant attached to the chalet, it was fine for just 1 night. Beds comfortable. The restaurant serves a great meal good if you had a car.

    If you're ordering a sandwich to be prepared the night before a hike as a packed lunch, be sure to confirm where and when this sandwich will be waiting for you

    It was far from the local restaurants and bars you need to walk back like 15-20 mins but there is an other guesthouse right next to it so if you like chill areas this is better to rest.

    They have a really nice view from the garden you can just sit and watch the show :) The breakfast is nice they have all you need in the morning including coffee as well. All the hiking routes are close to the hostel so you will find it easily. Only the Valbona trail is far from there. The room is okay in a 4 beds room.

    Personally, I didn't like the bathroom.

    The house was typical, and perfectly blended in the nature, and we were close to the town and the hikes. Breakfast seemed to be of homemade products.

    It is the further accommodation from the Theth centre but we feel like it’s worth the quiet benefits and closeness to the waterfall.

    Lorenzo was very welcoming & friendly. Property is lovely with a restaurant on site & breakfast included. Lots of outdoor space to sit for a drink.

    Not a dealbreaker, but the Wi-Fi didn’t work in our room, dinner seemed expensive for the area, and it was a long walk through town to get there. The location is fine if you have a car, but if you are hiking the Peaks of the Balkans trail I’d recommend staying closer to The other end of town.

    The guest house is lovely and the views are good. We had a small room, but it worked out fine.

    The breakfest was good, but it would be nice if there were little bit differented breakfest (like not just boiled eggs, but maybe fried as well or some sausages).

    5% fee for credit card purchases! And used a terrible exchange rate from Euro to Lek so it cost almost 9% more to pay for our reservation. You can pay in Euro so just bring plenty of Euro if you don't have time or ability to pull out Lek. Wifi and electricity is intermittent in the town. Our room has windows overlooking the dining hall and the noise there or the fire past 10 was pretty loud some nights.

    Beautiful views from the restaurant, great food, lovely staff, delicious breakfast. Bar and nightly campfire were great. Close to hike to Blue Eye (can also get a taxi) and easy hike directly to the waterfall. Quieter part of town than by the market which was nice.

    The temperature and bare bones of the room. The distance from the center of town and the Theth-Valbona trailhead - it’s one of the furthest guesthouses. Price per night was very expensive compared to other guesthouses we stayed at in the area and for what they provided to us. There was no furniture to put our stuff in or on and basically no toiletries provided.

    The staff was amazing, they helped us with any request we had. Although far from town center, the guesthouse is very close to the river and a nice watering hole

    The room itself was perfect except for the bathroom which had a leaking shower that would drip so had to put the shower head on the floor so the dripping wouldn't keep us up at night. The staff were aware of this as they pointed it out when we first arrived to our room. The bathroom had a very strong pungent smell which unfortunately affected me quite a lot as I was pregnant at the time of our stay and the smell would trigger me to vomit.

    Exceptional location with friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was fresh and the food at the restaurant was always delicious! The views being surrounded by the mountains were incredible!

    Really light curtain hanging away from wall so provided privacy but won’t stop any light (we were up ready for hiking so no issue for us). If wanting to pay by card machine there is a 5% surcharge - best to bring cash. They welcome euros/Lek equally.

    The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. Water from tap is good to drink. Spent around €60 for x4 beers, x1 tea, x2 meat selections, grilled vegetables and a cheesecake but could easily eat for less. Restaurant also has a fire if it is cold outside. Breakfast was surprisingly good - included jams, local honey, local goats cheese, tomato, cucumber, orange and apple slices, cake, little sausages, eggs, bread, butter, cereal, coffee and tea. They arranged a lunch for us based on menu items which cost €10 for bread, burek and goats cheese. Location is perfect for closer hike to blue eye, a little further from the trailhead to Valbona although a scenic trail leads up behind Theth to link part way up from the original trailhead. Rooms were fine, we had a twin room with private bathroom which came with x2 small soaps and x2 shampoo pouches.

    Breakfast could be a little bit more traditional.

    The location of the guesthouse is perfect and also amazing. You can see fascinating views from every window. Also the owner of the house who john is very friendly and kind person. The breakfast was good and also there are too many options in restaurant. By the way beer was perfect.

    We didn’t like the surroundings of the village, which were often poorly maintained. The bathroom shower was also right next to the toilet, with no enclosure to prevent water from splashing everywhere, which made it a bit uncomfortable to use. The room had no curtains at all, which wasn’t ideal — not just because of the morning light, but mostly because people could easily see inside from outside. I was also expecting a slightly more varied breakfast. Additionally, the parking was a bit tricky to reach, so we decided to leave the car before the uphill road leading to the property. Although there was plenty of parking space up there, we didn’t feel confident driving up. Other than that, everything else was great.

    A beautiful property surrounded by greenery, despite some ongoing work in the garden. We received a warm welcome from Jon, who I believe is the manager, anyway everyone was very kind. We had both lunch and dinner at their restaurant and the food was excellent. Also the included breakfast was nice. The room was a typical mountain lodge room, with two single beds, some space to place our things, and plenty of room to relax. There was no closed wardrobe, but there was enough space to hang our clothes. The bathroom was small but had everything we needed, including a shower. The property is also very close to the hiking trails, making it a great starting point to explore the sights of the area. We really enjoyed the garden in the evenings, where they light a nice bonfire after a certain hour.

    Wi-fi doesn't work in rooms. Toilet and shower facilities need repair and upgrades. Otherwise not much to complain about.

    Excellent breakfast. The room was charming, the dining area in and out was great and close to the fall, blue eye and canyon.
