Guest Reviews

• A (10/5): - A truly wonderful stay! Warm and welcoming staff, delicious breakfasts, spotless rooms, and the perfect location made it unforgettable. nothing
• Guest (10/5): Perfect vacation - Apartment was really clean and the view on the sea was amazing. It has all restaurants and supermarkets near, so you just can stay there and relax. Also important is that you can reach the port in 8 min to go and visit Corfu 🙂
• Guest (10/5): Extra - Odlicna lokacija,na samoj plazi,blizu centra,a opet je tiho nocu za spavanje. Preljubazni domacini. Odlican dorucak,raznovrstan. Cisto,svaki dan se cisti apartman I menjaju peskiri. Los wifi
• Claude (5/5): Une grosse déception - Appartement fonctionnel et très propre Plage minuscule et bondée Vue mer “oblique”. Ne correspond pas aux photos. Transat avec matelas crasseux Parking en mode Tetris ( l’établissement voisin voulait nous faire payer le parking… Hors de prix pour ce niveau de service non seulement suivant le standard albanais mais aussi suivant le standard Europe de l’Ouest .
• Samire (10/5): - Eine sehr nette Familie mit einem zuckersüßen Hund
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - I stayed here for one night and truly wish I could have stayed longer. Everything was perfect , the room was clean, comfortable, and beautifully designed, and the view was absolutely stunning. The breakfast was delicious and had a great variety. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming. I definitely plan to come back and stay again. Highly recommended!
• Dushi (10/5): Exceptional - In front of the sea Breakfast is great and plentiful Staff is amazing Walking distance to the city’s main square Sunbeds were included in the price but were located in front of a beach bar entrance which has people going in and out often. So it might not be as quiet as you wish.
• Julia (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful location to the beach. Includes umbrella/beach chairs. Amazing hospitality by family owners
• Horea-liviu (10/5): Excellent stay with my family - The hosts are super, the rooms are very clean, good positioning, good parking, it is located close to everything yo need, especially the sea :) we will definitely come back next year No negatives
• Acha (9/5): Superb - The view Nothing was bad. Aside communication, she brought in her daughter who spoke English
• L (7/5): Pleasant, bur service needs improvement - The place is a family business and the hosts are friendly. The views and location of the apartment are great. The sunbeds at the beach were free to apartment guests, so that was really convenient If we put the Sunbed value (10eur day) + Breakfast (even though average) + Location, its a good value for money. The beach is not crowded (june), so thatbis nice. This is not a bad review, rather positive feedback tlso the Hosts improove. We didnt got the room we booked on the first night, but next day the hosts gave us the exact same room we booked. We negotiated a symbolic 400lek discount for the inconvenience. This needs to be fixed to make it transparent for guests. Booking allows to create several room options, and pictures should match the exact same room people choose. Instead, some rooms with different important characteristics are mixed and then creates disappointment at the arrival. One criteria which I always observe and its crucial for my choice is the Bed not having wood/metal frame on the feet, above the mattress. I am 1.8m and often I endup hitting my feet on these beds, whichbis very unpleasant to sleep on (cant fully stretch). Some of these rooms have these beds. Also, another important criteria for us is the shower. Many apartments in Albania dont have shower curtains or protective glass, meaning there is water all over the bathroom (which is probably not a big deal for locals, bur foreigners are not used to this), it gets messy and then the whole room gets wet ans slippery. First room we stayed had this and the bed problem, so this was a big disappointment. Overall, they shouldn't put rooms same.price, cause some are renovated and some are not. Its not fair to pay for a renovated room and get a non renovated. The breakfast was average (second day had pleanty of stuff, but first and last days didn't had yogurt. Also, juice and cheese is bad, so we didn't had any. They should serve fresh squeezed orange juice, not a cheap "chemical" juice) We had to pay in cash, but that's something that happens in most apartments in Albania.

• Yvonne (10/5): Awesome Location, amazing host, delicious breakfast. Would stay again. - Awesome Location, amazing host, delicious breakfast. Would stay again.
• Rebecca (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing place to stay. Great location, short walk from the port and cafes and restaurants. On the beach with fantastic views from your window, we could hear the water lapping as we slept. The owner was so kind and friendly, going out of her way to make our stay the best it could be. The room was spotlessly clean and well equipped. We would definitely love to return. Nothing not to like.
• Miller (10/5): Amazing value for money, clean, and peaceful - Great location, welcoming staff, quiet area, very close to the sea, and good parking Nothing
• Donna (10/5): We all had a great time here again. Hopefully be back next year thank you all very much. - This is the second time we have stayed. Lovely owners always happy to help. Great breakfast, right on the beach with sun beds. Nice spacious, comfortable rooms. We had a fantastic time.
• Simona-iuliana (10/5): Exceptional - Great location right on the beach. Private parking and free sunbeds. Quiet place but close to Sarande nightlife- 10 min walking from the city center. The owner is very friendly and helped us even with the laundry. Breakfast was good. Everything you need in one place.
• Alessandro (10/5): Very nice room with views to the sea - The views, the very comfortable beds, the breakfast and the terrace. Nothing at all, only the entrance to the parking a bit tight.
• Mandy (10/5): Highly recommend😄 - Loved our stay here from the moment the host greeted us, the view from apartment was amazing. 5 mins walk to centre. Breakfast was plentiful and lots of choice. Free sunbeds on the beach and our laundry being done were an added bonus. Nothing
• Viv (8/5): Very good -
• Senja (6/5): Was ok but there is still place for improvement - The room was cleaned and they changed every day our towels and cleaned the room. The room was cool and cozy. The sea view was ok but was on the side of the building. The location was 10-15 minute walking to the center of Saranda. The breakfast was not good. They served us a juice that tasted like medicine. Was not a buffet but served at the table. I had some bad reaction when i ate the toaster as i vomited afterwards. The place to swim in front of the room was very small we preferred to go swimming elsewhere.
• George (9/5): Superb - very welcoming host, hospitable and very nice people; exceptional cleaning - towels changed every day and cleaning in the room; tasty food and pleasant service, the private beach very close
• Hafsa (9/5): Loved it and loved the family 🥰 - Everything was perfect ! The guest family was incredibly nice
• Linda (8/5): Very nice stay with 2 small kids - The view was stunning, very close to the beach, the sunbeds and umbrellas are for free if you book accommodation at Santa Paola. Breakfast was also included in price and it was pretty ok. All restaurants and supermarkets are very close. To walk till port and the Center is around 10 minutes with 2 kids. 😁 Very, very , very friendly hosts. The view is so good, that everything else really doesn’t matter.
• Sabic (7/5): Good -
• Julian (9/5): Superb -
• Armand (10/5): Exceptional -
• Aybike (9/5): The hotel owners and staff are nice. The food is delicious. It is reliable and very enjoyable because there are families - I liked that it had its own beach. Even though we arrived late, we were warmly welcomed. I was a little worried because the street leading to the hotel was hilly and there was no signboard at the beginning of the street. But when I looked at it in the morning, the slope wasn't that scary.
• Aino (8/5): Spacious room right at the beach - Right at the beach, great breakfast, and lovely staff. Umbrellas and sun beds were included, and they did laundry for us, which was lovely! Room was spacious and bed was firm and comfy. Good AC. We weren't sure how to reach the staff, as there was no reception. We met them every morning at breakfast though. Shower was leaking, and there was a cleaning bucket in the bathroom for our whole stay.
• Gazmir (10/5): Very friendly and hospitable hoisting - The property is on the beach, on the quiet area, family area, away from the crowd area of Sarandë, walking distance to night life, hoist very friendly, especially the owner (Bona), highly recommended, Nothing not to like.
• Heli (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location by the beach. Free and safe parking in front of Shark restaurant in the beach side. Short walking to the center, supermarket, restaurants and ferry terminal, if you plan to visit Corfu. Good breakfast. Very clean and spacious apartment, good beds and aircon. We had our room in ground level, no stairs to climb, although the building (like the whole city) is built by the steep street. Beautiful seaview from the balcony. Free sunbeds available. Loud music from beach restaurants in late night.
• Bledar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Teuta (10/5): Exceptional - Everything,the host and her daughters were the best people they will go out of their way to make sure that our family has the best possible experience at their location I highly recommend that you consider staying at this location Nothing
• Rochelle (9/5): Superb - View, location and cleanliness
• Erlanda (7/5): Good -
• Julian (10/5): Exceptional - Great sea front location, the lady and her daughter who runs it, are very friendly and helpful. Would visit again.
• Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional - We were a large family group and the host and her family made us feel like we were at home. The entire stay was amazing and the hotel is directly on the beach. The rooms perfectly suited our needs. We started our days off with a delicious, ample breakfast. The dedicated parking was a huge bonus. We hardly ever used the car as the hotel is centrally located and near everything. We ate at the adjacent Shark restaurant every night. No need to go elsewhere. The fish was freshly caught, and the food was better than many restaurants we've ever been to around the world (including the US). Thanks to them for their hospitality. We cannot wait to return. Nothing
• Krisztina (9/5): Superb -
• Joao (8/5): Lovely property - Spacious room right by the beach with free sunbeds. Very clean and very friendly staff.
• George (9/5): Superb - Incredible Sea View from Bacony
• Griselda (9/5): Superb -
• Francesca (8/5): Very good -
• Frederico (9/5): Great staff, great location, amazing cost benefit. Recommended - - Good location, close to the sea with an amazing view - Friendly and amazing staff - Good breakfast - Totally recommended - The only thing is that the bathroom doesn’t have glass box or curtain. After the shower, all the floor stays wet. I have found this in other places as well, so maybe it’s a cultural thing. 😬
• Jennina (10/5): Fabulous place - would return in a heart beat - The breakfast was beautiful and well thought out. Everyday we received something different. One day they noticed we had not eaten much and asked what we would prefer. Great coffee, selection of fruit, cakes & pastries and eggs or omelettes We had booked a 1 bed room however what we got was a studio - but given the view we did not mind (they did offer us a 1 bedroom but it didn't have the amazing view Clean towels, Great Air conditioning, clean apartment and comfy beds The beach and views are amazing Shark Restaurant Underneath apartments) was very good quality food Friendly staff who were very helpful - cant wait to go back The balcony was on the small side but we managed to squeeze 3 chairs on Its a bit of a steep road down, which at first was challenging but then got used to it - could perhaps do with a sign from the road
• Judith (9/5): Great location, lovely host, excellent breakfast brought to our apartment! - Great location for us near the ferry terminal as we stayed one night & were going to Corfu!
• Merlin (9/5): Superb - Very clean apartment with great view. Also location is good. Restaurants and supermarkets nearby. Parking on the beach. Breakfast in the room. Nothing. Everything was nice.

• Okoh (1/5): Bad -
• Pili (8/5): The staff was friendly and helpful, and the breakfast buffet was delicious. - the views from the bedroom, The mattress in my room was old and sunken, The bathroom ventilation could also be improved. finding the hoel was a little bit harder due to works on the road
• Radovan (6/5): Pleasant stay - Apartment is located very close to the beach. Nice hosts. Photos look a bit better than reality (at least for the apartment we got). I'm not saying apartment was bad, just the impression from photos was better than the reality. There's a lot of construction going on around.
• Heather (7/5): Beach access! - Beautiful view! Lovely staff, wonderful location right on the beach, and great breakfast. Beds were a little hard for our preference and only a sheet on the bed. We found blankets in the closet.
• John (8/5): Great stay for a weekend in Saranda. - The location near the beach and with free parking was ideal. We also really enjoyed the breakfast both days of our stay. We would have liked to have had a shower curtain or glass doors for the shower.
• Sam (8/5): Very good -
• Jaroslaw (9/5): Superb - Lovely time in February, 23 C , very nice apartment and lovely owners. Great breakfast and we did get some nice trip advises. Saranda have few nice places to see. We think we will come back September for swimming for sure. For the price we payed it's smashing. -

• Tiffany (8/5): Very good - Nice location We didn't have a good working toilet and the shower was cold
• Katie (8/5): Great little spot, close to the beach! - Location is perfect, on the beach and restaurants just a minute walk away. Staff responsiveness and their help on arrival was amazing, plus breakfast delivered to the apartment on time every morning was great. Beds were comfortable and it was nice to have a kettle to make tea/coffee etc. Nothing really! We got the smaller apartment without the direct beach view from the window but for the price we were very happy and would return!
• Piotr (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect specially breakfast so big Location

• Anne (10/5): Amazing price - value for a beach ocean stay! - Every morning a breakfast with plenty different options was served to the room and we could enjoy it on our balcony which had a wonderful ocean view. That same ocean was not even a minute walk from our door step. The location is really beautiful. The ocean is gorgeous and has the clearest blue water and wasn’t too busy (mid October), while having enough options from the beach bars for fresh drinks and snacks. There are also different super markets near by. Beach beds are free to use for hotel guests. The room was very clean and cleaned daily. The hosts were very easy to reach, they always replied within minutes to our messages om Booking whenever we had any questions or requests. They were very friendly and accommodating. We had a lovely stay and hope to return one day! We enjoyed everything!

A beautiful pebble beach with clear water just in front of the apartment, with two beds and an umbrella for guests, and a nice restaurant next to it where you can buy food and drinks. There is also parking space for guests just below the apartment. We booked because of the previous good reviews and it turned out better than expected.
