Guest Reviews

• paunica (10/5): - Totul, curatenie,gazda este foarte amabila si atentă
• Angelika (10/5): Ruhig, tolle Lage, super Ausstattung und perfekte Betreuung - Obwohl wir uns verfahren hatten und deswegen erst über zwei Stunden später als ausgemacht ankamen, wurden wir extrem freundlich und herzlich empfangen. Der Vermieter kam uns sogar extra mit dem Auto entgegen, da wir die Einfahrt zum Cottage nicht gefunden haben. Im Kühlschrank standen uns Wasser und eine Flasche Wein zur Verfügung. Der Vermieter war sehr nett und jederzeit erreichbar. Als wir ein Problem mit dem Boiler hatten, wurde das sofort gelöst. Er schickte mir außerdem ohne dass ich fragen musste eine Liste mit Restaurants und Supermärkten, die er uns empfehlen wollte. Die Ausstattung der Unterkunft ist super, man hat dort alles, was man braucht. Sogar Handtücher/Liegetücher für den Strand sind da. Außerdem genug Besteck, Geschirr, Dinge wie Klopapier,... es fehlte uns an nichts. Geschirrspüler und Waschmaschine erleichtern einem das Leben dort noch zusätzlich. Im Garten gibt es einen großen Tisch mit vielen gemütlichen Sesseln und auch einen Wäscheständer. Platz zum Parken gibt es vor dem Haus genug. Die Lage des Cottage ist sehr ruhig. Trotzdem ist man nur ein paar Gehminuten vom Strand entfernt, den man über einen recht schattigen Weg erreicht. Dort kann man nur ein paar Meter vom Strand entfernt in einem schattigen Wald liegen. Ebenfalls nur wenige Gehminuten vom Cottage entfernt ist ein kleiner Supermarkt, in dem man die wichtigsten Dinge bekommt. Alles in allem kann man wirklich nichts negatives über dieses Cottage und seine Besitzer sagen. Alles ganz hervorragend! Das Cottage ist etwas schwer zu finden, da es nicht angeschrieben ist. Wenn man vor einem großen verschlossenen Tor steht, ist man richtig; dort muss man den Vermieter anrufen, der das Tor dann öffnet (von ihm bekommt man dann einen Türöffner für die Dauer des Aufenthalts). Das steht leider nirgends, daher dachten wir erst, dass wir dort falsch wären. Eine Info dazu entweder in der Beschreibung oder in einer Nachricht des Vermieters wäre gut. Leider liegt in Albanien überall recht viel Müll. Das betrifft nicht das Cottage inklusive Garten, dort ist es sehr sauber! Aber man muss damit leben, dass am Straßenrand und in dem Wald beim Strand Müll liegt. Es hat dort im Wald allerdings nicht gestunken und es war trotzdem genug Platz sich hinzulegen.
• Z (10/5): Minden rendben volt! - Sajnos nagyon nagy dugóba kerültünk így 4 órát késtünk, de a szállásadó nagyon türelmesen megvárt! A szállás nagyon tiszta és jól felszerelt volt. A szállásadók mindent elmondtak a környékről a strandokról éttermekről, nagyon kedveske voltak! Mindenkinek jószívvel ajánlom ezt a helyet.
• Sarka (10/5): - Ubytovani
• Guest (10/5): Excellent Vacations and Host - We had an excellent vacation; Vila had everything needed for a cozy and relaxing reunion of three families. Rexhep (the host) was a very helpful and reliable host. He went above and beyond to support us; he arranged for a very late check-in (11:30 pm), opened a supermarket for us at that hour, and helped us find everything we needed in the Golem Area and even in Albania, such as rented boats in Vlora, tour operators in other citys, local winery producers, etc. He even assisted us in finding a family for a lost puppy that my children found on the beach. He did this to make my family and children feel good and appreciated. I would definitely recommend your such place, and we will certainly return every year.
• Lina (10/5): - Visas namelis, vietą, šeimininkai buvo tiesiog pasakiška. Net negalėjome isvaizduoti tokio priėmimo. Jautemes kaip namuose net po 12 dienu viešnagės nesinorejo išvažiuoti.
• Gerlinde (9/5): Superb - The house is in a beautiful protected place, in a forest and 200 m from the beach. We had everything we needed, even a grill. It was comfortable and clean. The owner gave us some recommendations. It’s hard to shower, especially in the upstairs bathroom because there is just a bathtub. The garbage in the forest was not something we enjoyed but we know it’s not the owners fault.
• Anna (10/5): It was the best holiday since a long time. I will recommend it to everyone. - The house is spacious, very comfortable and clean. The owners are attentive to the comfort of their guests, both in terms of equipment such as the coffee machine, washing machine and hairdryer, as well as its surroundings and general assistance (restaurant recommendations - fantastic!). There are no such things.
• Tomáš (10/5): Exceptional - The accommodation was really clean and fully prepared on our arrival. It had a lot of stuff already there so we did nit have to buy them. Overall the experience was really amazing. The only thing that most of my friends complained about are really soft matraces. That is it.
• Ann (9/5): Overall, it was good accommodation and we had a very pleasant stay - House was clean and well equipped. Beds comfortable. Good location, just 10 minutes to water park (entry LEK 1000), 15 minute walk to Golem high street. Beach is nice. Would stay here again and villa recommended for a family beach holiday. Golem appears to be an up and coming area for holidaymakers. Lots of things provided - laundry liquid, dishwasher tablets, shower gel, mosquito repellent (citronella coils), bbq, beach towels, and some toys for young children. As we had a 1 year old with us, we asked if they had a stair gate, and they fitted one for us, which was appreciated. It is lovely sitting outside at the table and chairs in the evenings. Air conditioning in all bedrooms except single bedroom. The owner is helpful, and communication was good. Slightly earlier check-in arranged with no problem. The owners seemed keen for feedback and suggestions for any small improvements that could be made. One bathroom and bedroom downstairs and 3 bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. Didn't like having to take cash for payment as it was a lot of cash to carry (we were travelling elsewhere first, so I had to carry the money around for almost 2 weeks). Payment by credit card would be far easier. We were able to pay a private individual by credit card in Italy. Tried to pay by PayPal, but for some reason, payment was returned minus 100 euro retained, which was disappointing and increased our cost as we lost that 100 euro. The biggest problem with actual property is the showers. The downstairs shower leaks because of holes in the screen and gap where the door is, we have mentioned this to the owner, and I believe they are addressing this. The upstairs bathroom is a shower over a bath, but there is no shower curtain, so it is easy to get water on the floor. Also, be aware that there are steps down into the upstairs bathroom and care needs to be taken when entering the upstairs bathroom.
• Arnisa (10/5): Must experience! - This house is huge and newly renovated and has everything you might wish for. Clean and spacious. Honestly a great place for family time, I will be back again! It's a short little walk till you reach the beach but other than that everything is great!
