Guest Reviews

• Säde (10/5): -
• Antoine (10/5): Deux nuits dans un appartement cosy et fonctionnel - La proximité avec le centre-ville, le logement est spacieux, possibilité de se garer à proximité, l’hôte était très sympathique et réactif à mes questions… de passage 2 nuits à Shkoder, je ne peux que vous recommander cet endroit ! Le rapport qualité/prix est excellent.
• Ralf (10/5): Perfekte Ausstattung und Schnelle Hilfe des Vermieters. Wir kommen sehr gern wieder! - Komplette Ausstattung Die geteilte Küche, diese konnte nur schlecht beheizt werden. Bei warmen Temperaturen ist das kein Problem.
• Silvia (10/5): Muy confortable. - Apartamento muy bien equipado, grande, cerca del centro y zona muy tranquila durante la noche.Esta cerca de la carretera principal y allí mismo encontraréis sitio para aparcar.
• anne (9/5): Parfait pour visiter la ville - Très bon accueil Un seul bémol trouver une place de parking !
• David (10/5): - L'appartamento molto funzionale e la gentilezza del proprietario che parla italiano
• Sylvie (10/5): Differences de cultures - L'appartement est très agréable et très bien équipé, en centre ville. Pas de numéro sur les immeubles. Comment trouver le bon si Internet n'est pas disponible. Heureusement le propriétaire, appelé par une habitante, est venu nous rejoindre et nous a conduit à l'appartement
• Rossano (9/5): Ci ritornerò. - Nonostante l'edificio non è nuovo, l'appartamento molto soazioso è tenuto molto bene. Ci sono tutti i conforts degni di un buon hotel.check in con box esterno alla porta di ingresso, a primo piano senza ascensore. Nel frigo c'era una bottiglia di acqua fresca. Letto molto comodo. Il centro città è raggiungibile a piedi in 5 minuti. Attorno ci sono bar, ristoranti. Contatto con l'host ottimo. Unico neo il parcheggio auto ma con un po' di buona volontà il posto si trova.
• Matei (10/5): -
• Louis (10/5): Excellent - Excellent value for money. The flat was spotless clean, central and comfortable
• NADINE (10/5): - Appartement vraiment très propre très bien équipé climatisé et calme. Quartier vivant. Nous avons eu la chance de trouver une place de parking devant le logement 😃
• Charles-Eliott (4/5): Je ne recommande absolument pas ce logement. - L’emplacement, il y a des places en bas de l’immeuble gratuites mais ce n’est pas garanti de l’avoir, bien équipé (machine à laver par exemple) Bâtiment qui a l’air délabré, appartement très vieillot et pas lumineux, odeur persistante dans la salle de bain de produits et pas extrêmement propre, lit très inconfortable. Nous aurions dû faire 2 nuits mais n’en avons faite qu’une, ma femme a tellement mal dormi (inconfort dans l’appartement, sentiment de malaise) que nous avons écourté notre séjour. Nous comprenons les règles booking pour l’annulation mais le propriétaire du logement n’a pas été arrangeant, n’a pas proposé de petite réduction ne serait ce que pour l’énergie et l’eau que nous n’avons pas dépensé. Le pire : au moment de payer il n’accepte pas que nous payons en LEK avec une conversion en € sur la base du taux de change 1€=100LEK, prétextant des taux de change supplémentaires pour lui (alors que le LEK est la monnaie nationale), ce qui nous a fait perdre 4€ supplémentaires. L’addition est salée pour un logement pareil …
• Rinke (10/5): Everything you need for a comfortable stay, just minutes from the centre. - “The apartment was spotless and very spacious, with everything you could possibly need. The location is ideal – just a 15-minute walk from the city centre, yet peaceful and quiet at night. A supermarket is conveniently located right across the street. The host was extremely friendly and responded very quickly to our messages, which made our stay even more enjoyable.” /
• Anina (10/5): -

• Adam Javor (10/5): - Vybavenie, komplet zariadeny byt, pohodlny
• Sa (9/5): Was erg prettig verblijf. - Prettige verblijf. Gastheer en zijn vrouw erg aardig en vriendelijk in omgang. Reageert heel vriendelijk en snel. Erg attent en denkt mee. Appartement mooi en smaakvol ingericht. Alles aanwezig wat je nodig heb. Locatie is perfect veel restaurants in de buurt. Parkeren openbaar is gratis. Kom zeker terug als ik weer naar Shkodër kom.
• Alan (10/5): Home away from home - Great location, lots of space, really comfortable . Nothing
• Tuula (8/5): Home away from home - There was lot to like.It was quiet,lot’s of towels available as well as many things you could think of.I really didn’t use kitchen during my week but there was everything you could think.Shower was very good,lot’s of nice coffee places around and communication with the host excellent. It was not fault of the property that weather was bad during my whole stay so it was little cold inside as well,you just needed to put AC to hot.
• Hannes (8/5): Good option in Shkodra. - Good value for the price. Good communication. Bathroom could be better. But that's alright for the price.
• Ester (8/5): Very good -
• Eva (10/5): Exceptional - Everything from the host to the apartment and location was perfect! Would recommend:)
• Asmaa (10/5): Excellent. Would recommend and stay again - Very cozy and large. Beds very comfortable. Quiet night. Shower stopped being hot after a while. Not sure why
• Dana (10/5): Excellent location great host would stay there again -
• Marley (10/5): Cosy stay in a great location with access to bikes - Large and welcoming apartment in a perfect location. Friendly and accommodating host. Cheap bike hire to explore the town and beyond. Nothing really.
• Alia (7/5): Good -
• Schwartzman (9/5): Highly recommend this apartment, which has everything you could need. - host was very friendly and quick to respond. Excellent location - easy walking distance from city centre. Well-supplied kitchen and very comfortable bed.
• Kate (10/5): Exceptional - Really nice place to stay- modern and spacious, walking distance to the central part of the city with plenty of bars and restaurants. The host kindly organised our transport to Theth for the next morning. Thank you!
• Jack (9/5): By far our favourite place we have stayed at in our 3 week Albania trip - Such a great place to stay at in Shkoder! The apartment is really great, it’s completely kitted out with everything you could possibly need. You could genuinely live here for a few months, it has everything. The location is pretty great too, right behind the Main Street, so everything is really walkable. Saimir, the host is also such a great guy. He really made the effort to introduce himself, and also showed as the place at checkin to ensure that we were happy. We loved it so much here! The entrance is a little dark, but it’s out of control of the host, it’s more so a building related issue.
• Rastogi (9/5): Great - Location was great, not too far from the center. Building work at the property right now but it was not noisy. Very helpful host. It was as we expected.
• Indre (10/5): We liked this place and kindly recommend it to other travelers - Location, the apartment itself, the host - everything was very good here. The host was very helpful, he even sent us a password of wi-fi of the bar close to the apartment to make communication with him easier and cheaper. But especially I liked the linen.
• Alessio (10/5): Nice gateway in the city center - Our three-day stay at the rental apartment was seamless and enjoyable. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped (the kitchen has a weird distribution though), providing everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The check-in process was easy, and the host was on point with communication before our arrival. Location is central (which is really good!), however finding a parking spot can be truly a hard task to complete. Note that this is a first floor apartment, so some stairs lead to the front door which seems shady (but nothing the host can do about).
• Kevin (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly host, helping you with whatever you need. The apartment had everything we needed. Good place to stay. Very spacious apartment. 15 minute walk to the historical center. I would highly recommend this place to stay. Nothing
• Love (10/5): Exceptional - No assigned parking. It's hard to find parking space when come back at night.
• Eraldo (10/5): Exceptional - Both location and the appartment were exellent. We were very happy and everything was superb. The owner was very kind and everything waa just fine. We rate it 10 out of 10 and we absolutely recommend it.
• Shehaj (10/5): Exceptional -
• Doko (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (10/5): Nice apartment with good facilities! -
• Mykola (10/5): It’s really home away from home - Big apartment, 10 minutes from the center and bus station. 100% fully equipped - washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, oven, two a/c…. It’s warm, close to everything you need (big Max market is just two minutes to go). Comfortable beds and good blankets. It’s quiet, nice and cozy. Can be good for a longer stay. Nothing was missing, I really enjoyed my short stay there. Wish I stayed for longer. Very fast and easy check in, and good communication. Thank you! All the best!
• Mia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vilson (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daisy (10/5): Big and good value - Very big spacious clean well equipped great host Nothing
• Alison (8/5): Good size flat in good location - Convenient location in city centre, although a bit hard to find as slightly off the main street used in the address. Building doesnt look great from the outside but much better inside! Flat was a good size and well equipped. Great to have a washing machine. Very comfy bed. Could have been cleaner and some glasses in the cupboard had mould in them.
• Mireille (9/5): Superb - Everything was great. The house is 20 to 30mns to center
• Manuswee (9/5): Good Fully-Equipped Apartment. - Fully-Equipped Apartment. Very big & Clean. Host is friendly & easy to contact. Feel not safe for parking. Not sure where it's can park or anyplace have booked by the other Apartment owner.
• Jaroslav (9/5): Good and flexible communication. Who needs an equipped kitchen, spacious living room, clean bathroom -
• John (10/5): Exceptional - Huge appartment close to centre. Great communications with owner, very flexible. Good shower and beds. Recommended
• Blazej (10/5): Well kept, clean and spacious appartment perfect for a family trip - Abundance of towels, large clean rooms, nice bathroom. The appartment is well kept and looks as if it was recently renovated. Very friendly and helpful host who made it extra easy for us to find the place Finding a free parking spot was a bit of a challenge
• Paweł (8/5): Very good - Located close to the main market. Helpful host, speaking very good English (actually during our stay in 6 different places in Albania we could speak only to him 😂). Big, spacious and comfortable apartment. Separate AC in the bedroom. The Apartament is located on the backs of the main street, quite scarry location at the first sight, but turned to be rather calm and quiet. Not super clean, some old dust and oil in the drawers and dirty dishes in the dishwasher.
• Aleksandra (10/5): Perfect stay - Great apartament fully equipped in everything that you could possibly need. Very friendly host who waited for us late in the night.
• Nikola (10/5): Wonderful place to stay in - We really felt there like at home. It is very nice, big, clean and comfy apartment. It is exceptionally equipped. We appreciated especialy a washing machine. The comunication with the host was very fast and easy. It was really one of the best accommodation I have ever stayed in. Everything was perfect.
• Ackermann (10/5): Exceptional - The host was really friendly and provided us with good advice about restaurants, bike rentals, activities etc. The apartment that we had booked was huge and perfect to stay for even a longer period of time (laundry machine, kitchen, seperate living room, even a computer).
• Gertjan (9/5): Perfect! - Great location, friendly host Well equiped appartment Flexible check-in
• Arsid (10/5): Exceptional -
• Oliver (10/5): Great stay, very clean. Would come anytime again. -

• Jan (10/5): Perfect base in Shkodër - Spacious, clean and fully equipped apartment with everything you might need. Central location close to everything. Friendly and helpful host! Perfect value for money. I can hardly imagine a better base for our trips in the northern part of Albania - we stayed for four nights and would not mind spending more time there. Parking might be a bit tricky, but we always found a spot.
• Nico (10/5): Had a nice stay - Don‘t judge by the outside, inside it‘s pretty nice
• Marie (9/5): Loved our stay! - Amazing value for money. Spacious and clean apartment. Well-equipped. Owner was really nice and helpful. Comfortable and air-conditioned. Had a washer. Public street parking
• Marius (9/5): Superb - - very spacious and clean appartment with all amenities - short walk from the center - owner super nice - rough looking building exterior and entrance
• Laura (9/5): Superb -
• Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice flat. Good location. Clean. Quiet and spacious. Everything you need.
• Anonymous (10/5): Great choice - Perfectly placed to enjoy the best of Shkoder, both busy tourist attractions and local markets. Cozy apartment with fully equipped kitchen, all rooms are very comfortable and clean. The host is very reliable, welcoming, plus arranged pick up and transfers, provided all information for the carefree stay. Great choice - recommended!
• Igor (10/5): Exceptional -
• Hana (10/5): thank you Simon for one of the best apartments in Albania! - Simon’s place is AMAZING. It is so spacious, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We only stayed in Shkoder for one night but we wished we had more time to relax at Simon’s apartment. it is perfectly appointed with every amenity you could need for your stay. The location is very close to everything, there is lots of car parking nearby, and Simon is a very attentive host. Don’t look past this place for your stay. I saw a review mention that the building appears ‘sketchy’ but please know that many families and older people live in the same apartment and it is not dangerous at all! nothing to dislike- everything was perfect!
• Louise (9/5): Superb - This apartment was a great find. it was a short walk to the city centre and there was lots of parking around the property. After dinner we relaxed and watched a movie on the comfortable couch. Had a great sleep as well. the entrance and stairs are quiet dark especially at night but felt secure inside the apartment.
• Burim (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cosmic (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ergi (10/5): Everything perfect - The host was very friendly The appartment was very spacious and clean, It had everything we needed for our stay, definitely will visit again

• Ergis (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nouha (10/5): Exceptional -
• Benjamin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Umair (10/5): A clean, reliable and affordable flat with plenty to see nearby - The property was much bigger than I expected. I travelled solo but could easily of had a child of friends with me. Lots of amenities nearby and the host has kindly printed off key tourist and food information.
• Sead (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment is perfect ! Clean and warm , is located in center of Shkoder . I definitely recommend this apartment to everyone ! Vleresimin maksimal !
• Vitaliy (10/5): Exceptional - It's a perfect apartment, central, yet quiet, with everything you need. The host is very attentive.
• S (10/5): Lovely place to stay in Shkodra - The apartament is situated quite near the city center, which allowed us to walk to most popular locations. The interior itself is quite nicely decorated, warm and had all necessary appliances(microwave, hairdryer, tv, laptop etc). The host was very nice and communicative. Overall we enjoyed our stay and fully recommend this property! N/A
• Jan (10/5): A very good choice in Shkoder! - A really well-equipped apartment, all in good function and practical. Nothing more to wish. The host waited outside the apartment and came to me just as I stopped the car - really service (I am afraid he had been waiting for an hour). He offered help of any kind during the stay and answered promptly when I contacted him. He also was flexible regarding check out. 5-10 min. to walk to the most central attractions. I definitely recommend this place for a stay in Shkoder!
• Gorana (10/5): Exceptional - Great stay! Thank you!
• Richard (10/5): Absolutely wonderful in every detail. - The apartment was thoughtfully furnished and arranged. The kitchen and supplies were outstanding. There were no half-measures taken in insuring the guests comfort and satisfaction. This apartment is very well suited to longer stay and for people who cook and dine at "home". Because it does feel like "home" Amazing price to value ratio. PLEASE ignore the exterior of the building. The beauty of the apartment is inversely proportional to the building.
• Jason (10/5): Perfect Stay!! - Amazing apartment!! Super clean, comfortable and well decorated. The host was very nice, greeted us when we arrived and helped up set transportation to Valdone.
• Colin (10/5): The best ever stay in albania - Everything! what an amazing apartment equipped with absolutely everything you need and more! Tastefully furnished to high quality for the guests comfort. The host has equipped right down to the last detail even slippers at the door. Washing machine, dishwasher, ample choice of crockery, utensils, glasses. Amazingly fluffy thick hotel bath towels. Lovely friendly helpful host very attentive to guests having a great stay. Even a laptop to use. One of the bests hosts I have ever met and the best apartment that I have ever stayed in. Nothing at all.
• Andrejs (9/5): Superb -
• @allonsy_bella (10/5): Probably the best price/quality stay in Shkoder! - The host was super nice (sorry, I did not get your name when we met 🥲), very attentive all the time, and responded very fast. The apartment was super big and very clean! Impeccable! Do not be deceived by the external look of the building, the inside is super nice and the area is very very safe. The beds were spacious and super comfortable, probably the best ones during our entire trip to Albania. Through the bedroom window, there is a small garden so it's quite peaceful. As for the kitchen, I've never seen so perfectly equipped one like this! You could even bake if you really wanted! lol All kinds of utensils are available. The shower was the best one during our trip also, with a shower booth (I realized that most Albanian bathrooms do not have a shower booth), very clean with a good supply of hot water. The bathroom even had a vanity mirror! In the living room, wifi passwords and booklets full of information about Shkoder! The location was also perfect, only 10 min walking to the central plaza where you take most buses and also the famous Boulevard. And 30 min by walking to Rozafa Castle (a must-visit place, go before the sunset) Also, he gave us nice selections of restaurants where we enjoyed good food with a nice ambience :) You can find more about my Albanian trip experience on @petit_traveler The only negative thing was that there was some kind of water pump and it made a buzzing sound every 30 sec or so. Because we were on the second floor, the sound/vibration was very big so I could not sleep in the bedroom with a comfortable bed. Fortunately, I had a sleeping pill and I took it and slept on the sofa in the living room. But my husband slept comfortably in the bed 😂 I noticed the host and he said it was the first time he heard about this issue. I was quite stressed but anyways it was not his fault at all, and he apologized for the inconvenience caused. Nonetheless, this stay was one of the best and I guess this problem is gone by now!
• Pablo (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice apartment, with all facilities one can need. Great value for money. Great location. Would definitely come back
• Juergen (10/5): Great hospitality - We loved this apartment - it was very clean and spacious, has a well equipped kitchen with a washing machine, fast WiFi and international TV channels. Easy walking distance to the center. Very friendly owner, he stored our luggage when we hiked Valbona to Theth. Highly recommended!
• Karel (10/5): Exceptional - the apartment is really beautiful. newly reconstructed within a traditional apartment building of mid 20th century, equipped and decorated with a lot of attention to detail. very clean indeed. it was a real pleasure to stay there. really cosy and comfortable, highly recommended. excellent communication with the owner. free parking in front of the building entrance, a few minutes walk to the very centre of shkadar. all windows with a view into a quiet inner yard of a neighbouring house, where kittens are playing in green vegetation. unbeatable value for money. trully a real Home. i wish to stay there again upon my next visit to shkadar, and more days! all perfect, thanks a lot!
• Emilia (7/5): Nice short stay - We stayed only one night but the apartment was very cozy. You've got everything you need, to not only stay there, but to live there. Location is good as well. Walking distance to the city centre. The ventilation in the bathroom could have a net on to stop mosquitoes entering the property.
