- Annette (7/5): Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt trotz der kritischen Punkte und würden wiederkommen! - Sehr zünftig, von der Wirtin selbstgekochtes Essen! Zimmer war zu klein und leider auch zu heiß. Heizung war nicht regulierbar. Morgens kaum Wasser beim Duschen
- Soizic (5/5): - le bâtiment est très joli et la vue superbe Rapport qualité prix déconnecté de la réalité. Groupe électrogène entrainant beaucoup de bruit et odeur en chambre
- Brigitte (10/5): -
- ronen (10/5): - מקום כפרי ואותנטי בלב היער בכפר בצפון היינו במזג אוויר חורפי מול הקמין הבוער בעלת המקום הכינה לנו ארוחת ערב מצויינת וארוחת הבוקר טובה מאוד , חדרים נקיים ודאגו לנו להכליל באופן אישי
- Pia (8/5): Authentisches Albanien - Authentische Unterkunft, wir haben sehr gemütlich am großen, offenem Kamin gegessen und getrunken. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und herzlich. Sie wollten uns sogar ein Lunchpaket für unsere Wanderung bereiten.
- Kaitlyn (10/5): - Hotel Kelmendi was an amazing stay and the staff working there was extremely nice and hospitable. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for an amazing experience and place to stay.
- saberi (7/5): -

- Tereza (8/5): - Snídaně byly velké a chutné. Jeden večer jsme požádali o večeři a ta byla vynikající. Příjezdová cesta

- ziv (8/5): -
- Tw10. 600 (9/5): - Super regionalne śniadanie Dojazd do obiektu
- Peeyoosh (9/5): -
- joca (9/5): -
- luca (9/5): Viaggio di gruppo in moto - Il contesto montano è perfetto per quel tipo di hotel così come la famiglia che lo gestisce.
Ottimo hotel per chi ama tranquillità e passeggiate in montagna Per arrivare ci sono 500 mt di strada sterrata non facilmente percorribile
- Petra (10/5): - Sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Bequeme Betten. Sehr ruhige Lage. Sehr gutes Frühstück.
- Milan (9/5): -
- Márton (9/5): Superb - The accommodation is located in a very beautiful environment.
The staff was nice. It is really difficult to access by car, the bottom of the car touched the ground in several places on the mountain road leading there.
- Kostiantyn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Grace (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mirsi (6/5): Pleasant -
- Lukáš (5/5): Just sleep here and get out. Don’t eat here. - Good location Terrible dinner, we were given obviously old meat, probably from the day before, just reheated. For a full price of course.
The room was tiny, there was balcony door, but no balcony. Kinda dangerous.
- Robert (10/5): Extraordinery - Great thanks for the warm invitation in the hearth of the family. Delicious local homemade food and perfect service on the middle of mountains.
- Jiří (9/5): Superb -
- Jana (8/5): Very good -
- Pierre (8/5): Memorable. - Professional family run friendly Bed and breakfast business with a personal touch. .
- Gjonça (3/5): Poor - The property was clean and had a beautiful view of the mountains. To go there you have to pass through a rough road which was difficult to pass. The toiletries were missing, there was no hair dryer and it was not worth the price.
- Julia (10/5): Exceptional - We had a splendid stay at this beautiful and rustikal hotel in the beautiful village Lëpushë. The family running the hotel is very kind and we were completely satisfied with everything. Also, the food is delicious, the view amazing, and the surroundings great if you like hiking. Thank you very much 🙏 faleminderit
- Blerina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fiona (8/5): Very good -
- Luana (10/5): It was wonderful. We felt very much at home and the food was incredible. We definitely recommend it - The dinner and breakfast were just perfect. Very hearty and one could feel it was made with love and passion. The breakfast was incredible and all the products (8 different types of marmellade, super tasty honey, butter and cheeses, eggs, blueberry juice, tea and milk) were made by the family and from local farmers.
The propriety is in a pastoral, remote village in the beautiful mountains of Malësi e Madhe.
- Shabani (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eileen (9/5): Welcoming hotel with amazing food and good hiking possibilities - Very hospitable staff. Amazing breakfast and dinner (also fair prices), also vegan/vegetarian options. Communication in English is not a problem. Very nice location to go hiking in the surroundings. The room is quite small for two, but we managed :)
- Safoel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bledar (9/5): Superb -
- Susanna (10/5): Exceptional - This is the perfect location if you would like to do some hiking. We did Maja Vajushes and it was a beautiful hike well marked.
The room is pretty small but clean and cozy. The sheets were cleaned and the mattress was really comfortable.
The lady at the restaurant was really nice, we had dinner there and breakfast as well. Everything was delicious and super fresh.
Last but not least they were really welcoming with our big dog Ugo!
- Marina (6/5): More like a mountain refuge than a hotel. Nice location, not very comfortable. - Very kind host, nice restaurant and atmosphere. Beautiful view on the mountains, nice outdoor area.
The food is genuine and home made. Very small room, with almost no space to move around. We couldn't even open the window properly. There is a fridge but no space to plug it in. Also the bathroom is very small, no windows and not enough space to open the door. The shower is the bathroom so it gets all wet after showering.
More like a mountain refuge than a hotel.
To get to the hotel you have to drive 700m on a white road, better with a 4x4 (we got a flat tire with a regular car).
There is no market, no gas station or atm in the near surroundings, better to come prepared and equipped.
Overall, not very comfortable and not cheap compared to the area and the service provided.
- Gordan (10/5): Exceptional - Very hospitable friendly family. Rrady to help you about everything at any moment. Great location.
- Soma (7/5): Good - The girl who ran things was exceptionally helpful Don't open the drawers of the bedside table
- Maria (5/5): Passable -
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Levente (9/5): We will go back for sure! - You can have excellent local foods for dinner, breakfast from very nice and welcoming hosts. The house is high up on the mountain with a beutiful view in the haert of the nature. The last few hunderd meters of the road are rough but it only adds to the adventure!
- Anonymous (1/5): worst place in the northern albania, evil people on the managment…do not go there - Nothing, it was full
of insects Full
of insects, very unfriendly owners
- Agred (10/5): highly recommended to anybody who want to enjoy the traditions and views of the Albanian alps - The hosts were very welcoming. Properly organized rooms and a veryyy tasteful kitchen.
- Joni (6/5): Pleasant - Nice view The road to the guesthouse was unpaved, with small rocks. Bathroom way too small, with no proper shower area.
- Dionis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ledion (10/5): Exceptional -
- Flavia (8/5): Very good - The senting is fantastic for beeing in the middle of nature, away from noise in the middle of the Albanian mountains. The family that runs the hotel is charming, with recommendations on routes, offering local dishes....
- Martin (4/5): Disappointing -
- Leticia (10/5): Perfect for relaxing and disconnection - The staff was exceptionally helpful and easily adapted to the changes in my reservation due to the weather and hiking plans. Also, run as a family humble business, the atmosphere is very charm and calm. The house is warm, comfortable and very clean. It would be nicer to have a living room or similar to stay rather than the dinning room or bedroom. But this is just a tinny comment in comparison to all the good spaces the house has.
- Osvaldo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Georgina (9/5): Lovely family-run hotel with great food in a stunning location. - Lovely hotel in such a stunningly beautiful area. Run by a family who are friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Lots of parking but it is up a tricky dirt track, which was challenging with our small hire car but doable. We ate in the hotel for every meal and the food is delicious. Breakfast includes these delicious doughnuts as well as the usual. They grill meat and fish over an open fire at lunch/dinner. Best to chat to them to see what is fresh that day, especially if there are not many other guests.
They have reasonable wifi, even when the electricity is off but there is no phone signal - which may be a positive! I would advise bringing an external battery pack, there are powercuts in the area which are obviously outside the control of the hotel.
They used a generator in the evening if the power was out. It would have been great to have warning of what times the generator was turned on and off, so we could plan to charge things and to avoid surprises.
- Marianne (7/5): it’s not a hotel. just an expensive quick stop between hikes. very expensive for the low level of services in the facili - nice staff road to the property is not paved. Spiders in the room were bot a pleasant surprise.
- Nikola (7/5): OK hotel to explore beautiful country side. - Hotel is very well located if you plan to explore beautiful country side. If you are coming by a car, mind that the road leading to the hotel is unpaved. Hosts were nice and friendly. Food could have been better.
- Edona (4/5): Not recommended - Polite staff
Good dinner Old building. The room was too small. The bathroom even smaller. It wasn’t cleaned enought.
A spider was waiting for us in the room to say hi!!!
