Guest Reviews
- Denise (10/5): Magical - I had an amazing stay at Magic Space. Silvia was so warm and welcoming that she made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The room was incredibly cozy, with breathtaking mountain views, and the breakfast was both delicious and filling.
Everything about the guesthouse felt so homey, which made my time in Theth even more special. Silvia provided so much helpful local information and always made sure I was comfortable. She even brought me homemade yogurt, which was such a thoughtful touch. I truly can’t thank her enough for the experience — the vibe really was magic.
You can also access the guesthouse by regular car. I had previously read that you couldn’t, but I was able to drive right up to the property in a sedan without any issues. I just took it slow on the rockier parts :)

- Daniel (9/5): Ruhige Unterkunft im Grünen - Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön. Ruhig gelegen abseits des Trubels von Theth. Alles ist liebevoll eingerichtet und die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und machen viele Wünsche möglich.
Sowohl das Abendessen als auch das Frühstück sind hausgemacht und sehr köstlich!
Gerne wieder. Nach dem Duschen ist das ganze Bad nass. Es ist nicht so optimal gelöst.
- Ela Vigele (8/5): - Very friendly staff. A little bit outside of Teth, but right next to the hiking trail to Valbone!
- Albina (10/5): Great guesthouse. - Clean, we had everything we needed. Lovely staff. Very good breakfast. Nothing
- Robin (10/5): - Notre hôte a été très gentille avec nous, elle nous a apporté de précieux conseils pour notre séjour à Theth.
Le logement est bien situé par rapport à la fin de la randonnée Valbone-Theth, et à 10 minutes à pied du "centre" de Theth. Plusieurs dîners en option proposés. Et petit déjeuner inclus très bon.
- Frank (8/5): Fijn prettig verblijf en prijs/ kwaliteit was zeker erg goed - Erg vriendelijke, zorgzame host Heerlijk uitgebreid ontbijt.
Wat lastig te bereiken lokatie met de auto i.v m steile brokkelen wegen.
Kamer was wat sober.met nogal ongezellig licht en de douche druk viel 'savonds weg. .We misten een eigen waterkoker en koelkastje
Ligging was mooi aan de Valbone hiking trail Stadje was 20 min. lopen Geen waterkoker en geen klein koelkastje. Je kon het wel vragen ben stallen bij de fam.maar dat voelt minder vrij
- Iveta (10/5): -
- Pia (9/5): - Super Lage, nettes Personal, tolles Frühstück und Abendessen, frisches Trinkwasser vom Berg, guter Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen, etwas abseits vom Touritrubel. Teilweise zu manchen Tageszeiten wenig bis kein Wasser aus der Leitung.
- Irene (10/5): Remanso de paz donde conectar con la naturaleza. - Gran entorno y situación, cómoda, desayuno y amabilidad de la propietaria.
- Silke (9/5): - War alles top
Passend für die Wanderung nach Vabona.
Liegt genau an der Strecke.
Allerdings fürs Auto nicht zu empfehlen.
Wenn man eins mit hat, am Besten unten stehen lassen.
Das Abendessen und Frühstück war auch sehr lecker.
- Einat (7/5): - The food in general was great especially the breakfast, the staff was nice The first night we didn’t have hot water also the water flow was weak. It’s very far from the city center of theth and very hard to get there by car
- ben (6/5): - Great breakfast Can't reach the complex with a car that's not SUV, had to leave the car parked at the entrance of Theth, and climb 15 min to the complex.
No luggage storage after check out (Wanted to leave stuff behind for a few hours when going on the track to the pass)
- yohan (9/5): - Lit confortable, proche du départ de la randonnée. Petit déjeuner bon et copieux
- Heiko (9/5): Super Aufenthalt mit freundlichen Gastgebern - Tolle Aussicht.
Personal sehr nett.
Frühstück war super. Gelegentlich Abwasser Geruch im Bad.
- Guest (9/5): Mágica como su nombre - La habitación estuvo super cómoda, las personas muy amables, las vistas están espectaculares, tienen comida en el lugar, incluso se ofrecen a prepararte un lunch para que hagas tu picnic al hacer el hike. Está un poco lejos del centro de Theth (15 minutos caminando) y no está tan clara la entrada.
- Justin (8/5): -
- Maria (8/5): Genial para desconectar, imposible acceso en coche - Silvia, nos atendió súper bien! Te acogen en su casa de una manera excepcional. Habitación muy cómoda y limpia. Desayuno impresionante. Que en la descripción pone parking gratis, teníamos un coche de alquiler, el cual empezamos a seguir las señales y nos fue imposible seguir, ya que solo se puede acceder en 4x4, y tuvimos q volver atrás como pudimos y buscar la manera de subir. Para excursionistas genial, si vas en coche con maletas y/o un poco cargado una gran putada. Creo que tendrían que especificar que no es accesible en el propio coche.
- CONCERT (10/5): - L’endroit est inséré dans un bois sur le tout début du chemin vers la randonnée de Valbona.
Les gérants sont superbes, touchants. J’espère durera et gardera autant à offrir.
- Arrate (10/5): - Muy buena estancia. Muy amables los propietarios, muy rica toda la comida y muy bien la habitación.
- Javier (10/5): - Really nice place, very relaxing. Super friendly and welcoming staff. Location especially good if doing the Peak of the Balkans trail. We came from Vusanje and the next day head to Valbona, great stop to recharge energies
- Stancheva (9/5): - Comfortable beds
Accomodating host available all the time as they stay at the property
The breakfast was great
There is a restaurant
Spectacular views! Very difficult to get by car unless you have a 4x4
- Benjamin (9/5): - Nice location and garden, good food, warm welcome
- Christian (10/5): - Sehr charmantes und schön gelegenes Göstehaus mit entspannter Atmosphäre. Sehr nette Gastgeberin.
- Madeline (9/5): - Thankyou for a magic stay Silvia, for making us feel so comfortable and like family. Locations is right on the valbone hike trail but still close to town, so peaceful. We loved the hammocks, games and lovely breakfasts every morning.
- Cherut (10/5): -
- Karolina (10/5): Simply magic - A place with heart&soul&views, perfect for all nature, hiking and mountain lovers. The host Sylvia is a lovely, warm person, she gave us many great recommendations and local tips for our stay. The breakfast and dinner were outstanding, all prepared with fresh and local ingredients. The rooms are comfortable and very clean and there is a nice outdoor space to chill after hiking. Nearby there is a natural pool we called *magic eye*, it couldn’t be better. We would come back anytime!
- Cherut (10/5): -
- james (9/5): - Nice quiet little spot near the end of the Theth/Valbone trail. Very clean. Sylvia is very friendly and helpful. I dont understand why some of the other reviewers said they had problems with her, but I suspect that the problem lay with a lack of sensitivity from them rather than Sylvia. The food was probably the tastiest we had in Albania, delicious trout. Accommodation is more expensive in Theth than other towns, but this place was worth it.
- Maria Florencia (9/5): Vistas preciosas - La atención del personal ha sido muy buena. Silvia ha sido una gran anfitriona. Las vistas a las montañas eran preciosas y precio y calidad han sido muy adecuados. Además las cenas han valido la pena! Por otro lado, las habitaciones estaban muy bien de tamaño y las camas eran bastante cómodas. Si bien una vez en el establecimiento las vistas eran increíbles, es cierto que llegar hasta allí puede ser un poco duro por las cuestas y el acceso caminando porque salvo una 4x4 no es recomendable subir con el coche. Una vez sabes el atajo, el recorrido se acorta bastante pero en pleno Julio es dificil. Igualmente lo bueno predomina, por eso no hemos quedado dos noches mas de lo que habiamos reservado.
La falta de aire acondicionado en Julio no es muy agradable pero es muy común en todo Theth. Recomendaría al menos sumar un ventilador en las habitaciones.
- O’Reilly (10/5): Welcoming & Peaceful - Lovely peaceful location, with hammocks to lie in in the afternoon sun.
Super friendly lady who runs it, who creates a super welcoming atmosphere.
Food was great and got a lunch to take away with us for our day walking that was spot on. LOVED the chocolate pancake!! Nothing
- Vitali (9/5): - Very welcoming hosts, delicious breakfast
- Maelle (10/5): - Great breakfast, located above the village of Theth (outside of its crowd) with nice surroundings, different options for dinner. Expect a 20 min-hike from the bus stop to the lodge. It's on the way to Valbonë.
- Alexandrine (5/5): Prix élevé pour la petite prestation - Le repas proposé le soir et le petit déjeuner étaient de qualité
L’endroit et la vue sont incroyables
Bon conseils de l’hôte sur les alentours et activités à faire Pas d’eau chaude mais c’est assez courant dans la région visiblement
Impossible de s’y rendre en voiture si ce n’est pas un 4x4 et ceci devrait être + précise
Pas d’eau proposée dans le logement
- Gautier (10/5): - L’environnement, l’accueil chaleureux de Silvia, les plats du dîner, le copieux petit déjeuner
- Fanfani (8/5): - La posizione è buona sia per il trekking sia per riposare Molta polvere per i tappeti presenti nella camera
- Shelley (9/5): Beautiful property, lovely vibes and family, do not drive to property - The family were lovely and welcoming, the place was very peaceful and clean. The food for breakfast and dinner was excellent and the location for Valbone pass and going into Theth This property is inaccessible unless you have a 4*4. Best to park in Theth and walk up to the property else you face an impossible rally drive.
- matthieu (9/5): - Silvia is the greatest host ever, really kind and caring about your confort all day. Food is great, place is indeed magic, best stay for us in whole albanian trip
- Piotr (8/5): lovely place, beautiful surroundings, kind host - beautiful surrounding, lovely spot near Theth, right by the trail to Valbone. Very kind host, tasty breakfast Wifi doesn't work in the rooms, just in the common area, and the signal is weak. No AC in he rooms - keep that in mind while booking - it gets really hot at night.
- Jennifer (10/5): Steiniger Weg zum Ziel - Die Familie ist wahnsinnig nett, hilfsbereit und freundlich! Das Essen schmeckt richtig lecker und ist zu fairen Preisen. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen! Leider ist die Beschreibung "Parkplatz inbegriffen" irreführend. Man kann mit dem Auto nicht direkt hin fahren - mit einem Jeep o.ä. sollte es möglich sein. Dies ist in der Beschreibung unserer Meinung nach nicht deutlich genug ersichtlich. Der Wasserdruck in der Dusche ist sehr schwach und heißes Wasser nicht immer verfügbar. Nichtsdestotrotz eine 10/10
- Vanessa (10/5): Fantastic place, must book! - A fantastic property located slightly higher than town, with a lovely tranquil atmosphere! Sylvia and her family are the most welcoming and amazing hosts who make you feel welcomed from the very beginning! They have wonderful home cooked food- you have to try all the food!
- Alastair (10/5): -
- Bas (8/5): Zeker een aanrader!! - Prachtige plek en uitstekende verzorging Communicatie verliep moeizaam. De eigenaresse/dame spreekt uitstekend Engels en bedoelt het allemaal erg goed maar ze kan niet zo goed luisteren en zend vooral erg veel. Hierbij gaat ze voorbij aan de behoefte van ons als gasten
- Elisa (10/5): Un angolo di paradiso a Theth - Ottima e calorosa accoglienza dell'host. All' esterno c'è un giardino dove rilassarsi e la possibilità di raggiungere in due minuti il torrente dove poter immergersi. Camera pulita e spaziosa, cibo ottimo e fresco. La porta d'ingresso della camera.
- Dal Zilio (7/5): Plutôt bien - Logement mignon et confortable
Excellent petit déjeuner
Hôte aimable Difficile d’accès à pieds comme en voiture.
On est heureux d’y arriver depuis la randonnée en Valbone mais après c’est compliqué d’aller dans le centre même avec le « raccourci »
Le prix est donc cher pour l’offre et la localisation
- Babilonova (9/5): - Velmi milý personál, slečna se o nás starala jako o vlastní, výborná tradiční večeře, kterou si můžete v rámci pobytu doobjednat. Přijeli jsme pozdě večer a přesto nebyl problém nám uvařit. Snídaně v ceně ubytování byla skvělá! Zábavná byla informace o parkování v ubytování, to tam samozřejmě bylo, ale autem z půjčovny 4x4, nebylo možné se k ubytování dostat přes nezpevněnou kamennou cestu, to není výtka ubytování, spíše informace pro další cestovatelé. V koupelně nám bohužel netekla teplá voda, ale naštěstí jsme otužilí.
- Armands (10/5): -
- florence (9/5): - L'accueil, la générosité, la propreté, la restauration (petit déjeuner, dîner et pique-nique) : menus simples avec produits frais et servis très copieusement. Excellent rapport qualité prix. L'emplacement est intéressant pour partir en randonnée vers Valbonë mais l'accès depuis Theth est difficile car les 300 derniers mètres ne se font qu'à pied ou en 4x4.
- Mickaël (8/5): - La personne qui nous a accueilli est très sympathique.
Le petit déjeuner est copieux.
Ils peuvent préparer un repas pour le soir pour 10 à 12€
- Laura (10/5): Magic Space Magic All - El espacio muy cuidado, la habitación genial, el desañuno y la cena increíble y el trato del personal, sobretodo de Lily y su madre, la cocinera muy bien, todos con ganas de hacernos sentir cómo en casa. No se puede llegar en coche. Hay un atajo por el río, pero no está señalizado.
- Tyll (7/5): -
- Elizabeth (8/5): -
- Jonas Yazo (10/5): - Amazing hostess, great food and service in general! Really nice place in the mountains The showerhead sprayed water all over the bathroom - a curtain would have been nice
- laurine (8/5): - Accueil parfait!,personnel bienveillant et très attentionné.
Literie très confortable .C'est très appréciable après les randonnées 😉
Le lieu est insolite, bien entretenu,hamac etc... et proche du départ de la randonnée pour Valbona. Douche pas toujours chaude.
- Sára (8/5): -
- Frank (9/5): Great location with friendly and helpful staff - Very quiet and beautiful location. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the food is good. Good place to start some hikes.
Please Note: it is nearly impossible to enter the location by normal car. But there is a free parking near the bridge and a short 20min walk to the location.
- González (10/5): Buena experiencia - Negocio familiar muy acogedor Solo aceptan efectivo
- gwenaelle (7/5): Magic - Excellent ptj et dîner, accueil sympathique, le jardin est aménagé pour se relaxer, jeux à disposition pour les fins de journée, tout est très propre, lieu très paisible. Si on veut profiter un peu d animation, il faut se taper 20mn pour remonter du "village", dur après avoir crapahuté la journée. Autant dire qu il n y a pas de cuisine car entièrement vide pas de frigo. Déco vieillotte.
- Aida (8/5): - La cena y desayuno excelente y la parte exterior con hamacas y mesitas y unas vistas increíbles
- Tori (10/5): - Lovely guesthouse, had everything you needed, good food and easy starting point for the peaks of the balkans hike
- Tatiana (10/5): -
- aner (7/5): - הצוות מאוד ידידותי ועוזר. המיקום בתוך היער מדהים. האוכל טוב. הגישה למלון עם רכב פרטי כמעט בלתי אפשרית. החדרים והמקלחות צריכים שיפור.
- Sonja (8/5): Prima aan het hikingtrail gelegen guesthouse - Mooie ligging in de natuur aan het einde van het hiking trail uit Valbona. Relaxte sfeer met zitjes en hangmatten enzo in de tuin. Goed ontbijt. Beetje vaag georganiseerd. Vanaf 13 uur was inchecken, wij arriveerden tegen 14 uur wandelend uit Valbona. Toch moesten we toen nog een half uur wachten tot onze kamer klaar was.
- Lukáš (8/5): -
- Karine (7/5): - Hôte très accueillant
- Finn (10/5): Welcoming stay in a beautiful location - Great location and we were very well looked after Nothing
- Nathan (8/5): -
- Nina (8/5): Trzeba brać pod uwagę że do hotelu nie dojedzie się osobówką. Najlepiej zostawić auto w centrum Theth i iść piechotą. Uw - Bardzo duże i pyszne śniadania. Standard pokoju był dosyć wysoki jak na warunki w Albanii. W pokoju był zestaw kosmetyków, ręczniki a nawet szczoteczki do zębów. Największym minusem jest brak informacji o tym że do hotelu nie da się dojechać zwykłym autem osobowym, bo droga jest bardzo zniszczona i górzysta. Drugi minus: obsługa bardzo mocno podkreślała jak to kieruje się empatią i dostępnością dla wszystkich, a jednocześnie obok hotelu trzyma psa na łańcuchu, z brudną i pustą miską. Nie rozumiem takiej ,,empatii”
- Jake (10/5): Thank you Silvia and family! Perfect stay - Lovely host Silvia, beautiful location of course. Room was perfect for us, lovely complimentary breakfast in the morning. No complaints
- Noah (7/5): - This guesthouse was in a great location close to valbone to theth trail and 15 minute walk to the town using the shortcut across the river which the host explained to us. She was very kind and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious, as was dinner and we also had a small picnic which was nice to take with us on a day hike. When we arrived the host explained that there had been a mix up with our booking however she was very accommodating and even gave us a discount off our booking. The room that we had had basic amenities and was clean but the bathroom had a smell ?it was coming from the bathroom drain, it was absolutely putrid and unless we shut the bathroom door and kept the fan on, it made the whole room smell. This was not the end of the world to us as we weren’t there much but is something that should be addressed as it was not pleasant to use the bathroom or come home to. There was very poor drainage in the bathroom and water went everywhere when showering. There was also nowhere to hang the bathmat that was provided to soak up the water so it stayed wet the whole time further adding to the stench
- Emīlija (8/5): An authentic place near hiking trails with a home-like feel - The place is located right by the Theth-Valbona trail, so it was easy to access it. Plus, it was very quiet and peaceful there. The host was very friendly and welcoming, she even went above and beyond to acommodate our needs, picked us up at the village and helped us get back there to our car, and offered us dinner on the day of our arrival. One evening and morning there was some trouble with the electricity – it was on and off for some time.
- Andrea Kleckova (9/5): - Moc milá majitelka. Vstřícná. Klid , příroda, krásné prostředí od hlučnějšího Thetu ( cca 20 minut Prašná cesta)
Skvělá snídaně sladké i slané. Různé hry na půjčení
Pokud máte v plánu vysokohorskou turistiku , tak je to blíž k vrcholům... Cesta nahoru od Thetu šílená. Je třeba dobre auto 4x4 i tak jsme se báli jestli nezničíme auto.
Proto jsme s ním už nikam nechtěli až v den odchodu...
Protože jsme spíš na kratší treky, tak jsme stejně museli dolů přes Thet na výlety.
- Vygintas (8/5): - Šeimininkė buvo labai rūpestinga, maloni. Skanūs naminiai pusryčiai, vakarienė. Kelias privažiuoti iki viešbučio sudėtingas. Lovos kambaryje buvo grubaus namų darbo .Jose buvo atsikišusių varžtų ,kurie paliko sužalojimų kojose.

- Manon (2/5): - La nourriture Le cadre naturel de Theth est sublime, mais mon expérience dans cette guesthouse a été très décevante et inconfortable. Je tiens à préciser qu’il n’y a aucune méchanceté derrière ce commentaire et que les remarques sont aussi bien pour prévenir les futurs voyageurs, que pour aider à l’amélioration.
J’ai été la seule cliente lors de ma première nuit, et l’attitude de la fille de la maison a été très intrusive : surcharge émotionnelle, pleurs, remarques déplacées… J’ai eu l’impression qu’elle attendait de moi un rôle émotionnel que je n’ai pas à tenir en tant que cliente.
La gestion pratique est également problématique : refus de garder les bagages au départ (puis changement d’avis au dernier moment), chien qui aboie le matins entre 6h et 6h45, mais aussi le soir, lumière de plafond très agressive la nuit (pas de lampes de chevet), lumières extérieure au dessus de la fenêtre de la chambre 7, qui éclaire comme en pleins jour, porte de l’entrée des chambres extrêmement bruyante, portions des repas démesurées — très bonnes, mais beaucoup trop pour une personne, ce qui ne correspond pas à mes valeurs (gaspillage).
Enfin, le départ a été chaotique : j’ai attendu pour un taxi que les hôtes auraient pu commander plus tôt, j’ai dû partir à pied sur un chemin en pente avec ma valise.
Je comprends que cette famille traverse peut-être une période difficile, mais ce n’est pas au client d’en subir les conséquences. J’ai été soulagée de partir.
Je ne recommande pas cette guesthouse aux voyageurs en quête de calme, d’autonomie et de respect de l’espace personnel. Ce logement ne m’a pas permis de me sentir apaisée durant mes vacances.
- Marcin (2/5): - The room was modest – just as we expected from a traditional highlander cottage – but very clean. The food was very good. Unfortunately, the magic of this place disappeared quickly. The young woman running the property initially presented the house rules emphasizing tolerance and encouraging us to feel at home. However, during dinner, when I asked why the dog was kept on a one-meter chain without water in its bowl, her attitude changed abruptly.
At first, she claimed the dog was aggressive – which was clearly not true. The dog wagged its tail, licked us, and allowed itself to be petted. Then her attitude shifted completely – she began displaying clear intolerance. She said she "knows Poles and they're all the same," made an anti-Semitic remark, and sarcastically asked if she should feed a snake as well.
She then threatened to report me somewhere and "kindly warned" me – implying she would misuse the personal data obtained during the booking process.
For context – I’ve stayed in many different accommodations and have worked in around 20 countries, so I’ve met all kinds of people. I rarely leave reviews, but this person made such a lasting negative impression on me that I felt compelled to share.
She pretends to be kind and tolerant, but the moment something doesn't go her way, she forgets her own rules and turns out to be the least tolerant person in the whole place.
The only good thing that came out of it was that the next day, the dog’s chain was extended so he could move a few meters freely from his dog house– I truly hope it stayed that way after we left.
- Gabrielle (10/5): Un petit havre de paix 🏞️ - Un endroit paisible où on est très bien reçu par Silvia et sa famille.
La chambre est spacieuse, très propre.
Le petit déjeuner est complet et excellent, parfait avant une marche.
C'est un endroit ressourçant proche des départs de randonnée.
Silvia fait les choses avec son coeur et est une belle personne. Elle donne de très bonnes recommandations.
Ses parents parlent peu l'anglais mais sont très souriants et agréables.
Je recommande, d'autant plus si vous êtes à sac à dos et que vous aimez les expériences humaines et l'authenticité.
Au plaisir de te recroiser Silva! La route pour accéder au logement est difficilement accessible, voir impossible d'accès. En soit ce n'est pas un problème, nous avons garer notre voiture dans un parking et Silvia et ses parents nous ont récupéré avec nos valises 😊.
Au final on pouvait accéder au centre en 15 minutes à pieds en passant par la rivière. J'ai trouvé que ça avait son charme et faisait parti de l'expérience ✌🏻. Il faut juste le savoir et les contacter pour qu'ils vous récupèrent.
- Elisa (10/5): - A hidden gems in Teth mountain. We have been welcomed by Silvia and she took care of our stay with lovely attention and her brilliant personality.
The room is very clean and there is everything needed.
The house is in a middle of the nature that allows you to disconnect and appreciate little moments. It is perfect to start some walk in the region.
Breakfast is delicious.
We had one night dinner as well which was a very nice dinner.
I can only advise this place. Be careful the house is not fully accessible by car. There is the last 15min to do by walk.
- Justina (10/5): - It was really a great stay, close to the hiking trail. Also, the staff was very nice and offered to help a lot with everything, so we were very thankful. One night we had dinner and it was very good. The fish we had was super tasty! As well as other dishes. The atmosphere is great, you can enjoy the garden and just sit and watch the mountains. After hiking all day to the peak and being very tired we were even offered some special juice with milk to restart. All in all, it was a pleasure to stay with them!
- Pierre (10/5): - I first stayed at this magic place for one night as a starting point for the Peaks of the Balkans trail. It was absolutely perfect, clean, comfortable, and the family who runs the guesthouse is so kind and welcoming ! The food also was delicious, everything you need for a good day of hiking.
when I finished the trail 7 days later I new I had to come back to Magic Space ! So I went back for one more night and it was still perfect !!
So glad I could meet and talk to Sylva :)
I wish you and your family all the best Nothing !
- Franziska (8/5): - Freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber, gutes Frühstück Lage etwas außerhalb

- Kevin (10/5): - We felt immediatly welcome in Theth by our host. Also she was kind to cook dinner for us. It will be the most traditional dish you will eat during your stay in Albania.
We embarked the next day on our hike from Theth to Valbona quite early (at 6am) they were so kind to prepare for us a little foodbag which help us survive the day. We appreciated this so much. /
- Anthony (8/5): Good nights sleep here before and after doing the trail - Near the start of the Theth-Valbonë trail so shaves a bit of time off. The room was clean and the bed comfy. We were looked after and given a nice sandwich for the trail the next day. Theth is very spread out. Just be aware it’s about a 30 min walk to where the buses drop you off on a fairly rocky road

- Gregor (10/5): - Sylvia, the host was super nice and helpful, she did everything to make us feel at home. Food was amazing and a lot! The place is fairly new and nicely decorated, rooms are super clean and spacious. If you want to do the Theth - Valbona hike, the place is perfectly located a bit outside Theth right next to the track.
- Elie (10/5): - L’accueil, la vue, le calme Difficile d’accès en voiture si vous n’avez pas de 4x4
- Lara (9/5): Gastvrije plek en perfect voor wandelen - Toen we aankwamen in Teth werd het duidelijk dat we niet verder konden rijden naar de accomodatie. We hebben gebeld en binnen 10 minuten kwam Silvia met een jeep om ons op te halen. We werden hartelijk verwelkomd met koffie en uitgebreid diner. Je krijgt voor een goede prijs lekker en veel te eten! Alles was vers gemaakt en zat een verhaal achter. Kamer was schoon en ruim met goed bed. Toen we aangaven het een beetje koud te hebben kregen we een elektrische kachel en extra dekens. Ook het ontbijt was vers, uitgebreid en lekker. Voor een kleine meerprijs kregen we een lunchpakketje mee voor de hike. Als je de Valbona trail loopt is dit een perfecte plek! Je begint al een halfuur verder op de berg. Kortom, het is een mooie locatie, lekker eten en super gastvrije mensen! Silvia en haar familie laten je thuis voelen en je kan alles vragen.
- NGallus (8/5): - Bardzo miła obsługa, dobre śniadania, cisza, spokój i dzika przyroda. Idealne miejsce do relaksu. Droga prowadząca do hotelu, właściciel nie ma na to wpływu. Brak miejsca na rzeczy w łazience i brak zasłonki, więc cała łazienka po kąpieli jest zalana. Na zdjęciach jest aneks kuchenny, ale nie spełnia żadnej funkcji, nie ma żadnych sprzętów w niej.
- Fridolin (10/5): Einzigartiger und wundervoller Aufenthalt - Ein wirklich einzigartiges Erlebnis mit einer tollen Lage, einer super Gastgeber-Familie, leckerem und frischem Essen. Jeden Tag ein anderes besonderes Frühstück. Jederzeit ein atemberaubender Ausblick. Gute Lage um Wanderungen zu starten oder erschöpft von diesen zurück zu kommen. Bei kalten Nächten ist es in den Zimmern auch kalt - der Speiseraum hat aber einen gemütlichen Kamin.
- alexaviles (9/5): - Hermoso lugar en el corazón de los Alpes albaneses. Habitación amplia y cómoda. Buena atención. OJO!!El lugar es totalmente inaccesible con un turismo ( a no ser que quieras romperlo), tienes que ir caminando o con 4x4. Y eso no lo específica por ningún lado. Pone que tiene parking con lo cual deduces que es para cualquier coche. Tuvimos que dejarlo abajo y subir caminando con todo el equipaje, cuesta arriba y con muchísimo calor
- E (8/5): Prima verblijf onderweg naar Valbona - Verblijf op de hikeroute naar Valbona. Voordeel: je hebt de eerste hoogtemeters al gewonnen als je vertrekt uit Theth. Vriendelijke familie en heel stevig ontbijt, komt goed van pas! Tip: Google Maps geeft de locatie niet helemaal juist aan. Je moet verder wandelen over een brug en daarna naar rechts.
- Laura (10/5): Amazing! - Wonderful relaxing spot run by a lovely family! The food was great too and we ended up extending our stay. It’s a good 20min walk to the village of Theth, but that makes it all the more relaxing as the village is quite busy. Nothing
- Andréanne (9/5): Nous recommandons. - Le petit-déjeuner fut vraiment très généreux et diversifié. La chambre incluait un mignon 2e étage où dormaient nos enfants. Discussion agréable avec l'hôte. Parfait pour débuter Teth-Valbonë. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour. Au final, je trouve le prix un peu cher, mais c'est possiblement le prix pour cette région par rapport à d'autres régions d'Albanie.

- Béla Bellissima (9/5): Zajímavé ubytování na cestě do Valbony. Příjezdová cesta však vyžaduje SUV a velké koule. - Měl jsem v plánu hike do Valbony a majitelé mi umožnili zaparkovat auto už den předem. Rodina byla velmi milá, ačkoliv anglicky mluvila pouze dcera. Rozhodně nezklamalo ani jídlo a příjemná místnost s krbem. Sice jsem zůstal jen jednu noc, ale i tak jsem měl možnost navázat s rodinou malý emocionální kontakt. Velmi mě pak potěšilo, když mě strýc odvezl k autu, které jsem kvůli blížící se bouři raději zaparkoval na bezpečném místě daleko od ubytování. Příjezdová cesta plná kamenů vypadá docela brutálně a trochu jsem se o své malé SUV bál. Chápu, že nejde o soukromý majetek a vláda tamní cesty neopravuje, ale v zájmu návštěvníků by neškodilo zasypat alespoň ty největší díry. Obava, zda budu schopen bezpečně odjet domů, mi na klidu nepřidávala.
- stephane (9/5): - Bon accueil et hôtesses arrangeantes. Emplacement parfait pour faire la randonnée Teth-Valbone : on gagne 15-20 min de grimpette dans ce sens. Jardin sympathique Le café mais ce n'est pas une spécialité albanaise
- Elina (9/5): Ideāla naktsmītne, lai dotos pārgājienā Thethi - Valbona - Tīras, jaukas istabiņas ar visām labierīcībām. Ērtas gultas, ļoti garšīgas brokastis, labs wifi. Ļoti patika sirsnīgie saimnieki. Viesu namam ir ļoti laba atrašanās vieta, ja plānojat doties kājām uz Valbone. Ja vēlaties tikai apmeklēt Tethi apskates objektus, tad tas atrodas diezgan tālu no centra, minūtes 30 jākāpj kalnā. Palikām viesu mājā oktobra sākumā, lietainā dienā. Mums bija auksti un drēgns.
