• e4aa40c42ae973bc8d28af32a57f2f93 (10/5): נהננו מאוד מהכנסת האורחים החמה, שיחקנו דומינו עם המארח , אכלנו אוכל טעים וביתי וקיבלנו סימני דרך לטיול למפלים - מקום מושלם ! מארחים מקסימים אוכל טעים חדרים מרווחים
• Simone (10/5): - Wunderschöne Aussicht auf die Berge, mitten in den Bergen. Tolle Bewirtung, leckeres traditionelles Essen. Sehr nette Gastgeber. Gerne mal wieder auf eine Runde Domino :-) Nichts
• Roberto William (10/5): Fantastic food, nature and hospitality! - Our stay with Batjar at his guesthouse was fantastic. He, together with his son and wife treated us with the warmest of hospitalies. We really enjoyed our time there, and feel very thankful for everything they did for us! The food was fantastic, our games of domino an night legendary and we even got to meet and spend time with the locals. Greetings also to Arif! We will be back :)
• Miroslav (10/5): Awesome experience - Prepare yourself for a wonderful and welcoming experience. The host Batjar will teach and play domino with you, provide you with superb local food and warmth. Never forget! We did a trip to the waterfalls while staying there and it was an awesome and freezing experience (in February).
• Matthew (10/5): - Very welcoming and comfortable stay. Amazing food, especially the breakfast. A beautiful location in the heart of the Tomorr National Park. Highly recommended!
• Marie (10/5): Petit coin de paradis perdu ! - Tout était parfait ! L'accueil, le lieu, le cadre, les repas. Je recommande les yeux fermés !
• Grigor (10/5): - Everything was amazing. The nature over there and the location of the house was in an amazing place. The owner was very kind and nice person. This was a family business and you could feel the vibe. Everything was amazing.
• Izabela (10/5): Ciche i spokojne miejsce w Albanii, idealne na relaks, z bardzo pomocnymi właścicielami. - Pobyt w tym hotelu był czystym relaksem – cisza, spokój i świetne warunki do odpoczynku. Jedna z lepszych miejscówek w Albanii podczas naszego pobytu, bez tłumów i z autentycznym klimatem. Właściciele okazali się niezwykle pomocni – kiedy samochód odmówił posłuszeństwa, szybko zorganizowali paliwo i wsparcie, dzięki czemu problem został rozwiązany. Idealne miejsce na spokojne wakacje, zdecydowanie polecam! Nie było nic takiego.
• Juris (10/5): Recommend for everyone - Nature and silence, view around, nice breakfast, friendly owner with family -
• Sveykovský (9/5): - Personál poskytl absolutně dokonalý servis,výborná kuchyně, bohatá a rozmanitá večeře i snídaně. Pro transfer rozhodně doporučuji auto s pohonem 4x4. Tenká izolace ve zdech.
• Michael (10/5): Really enjoyed the stay - Such a wonderful location - really recommend for some gentle relaxation or some hiking. Wonderful food and very kind and helpful hosts.
• Bb (10/5): Excellent choice - We enjoyed our four night stay at the Guesthouse Qafe Dardha. Situated in the small village of Qafe Dardha it is an ideal location to explore Tomorri Mountain National Park. Our room was comfortable and clean. Our meals were delicious, plentiful and veggie friendly. Our hosts Batjar and Murat (and their family) were gracious and helpful throughout our stay. They even took the time to teach us dominos! As we did not have a car, we were able to arrange a ride through our hosts from Berat for a small fee.
• Marie-jeanne (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stefanie (10/5): Just amazing - Easy to say: everything! Batjar, Murat, Adela and Leila made us feel like part of the family. The food was amazing and they were very flexible in every way. Thanks again for domino nights, great recommendations and your extremely open & friendly attitude. For everybody who wants something off the main tourism route in the middle of nature, a must! Summed up: come as a guest,leave as a friend! We really can't think of anything. Well, the road up there is a bit of an adventure, but that'll change in the coming year
• Selvaraj (9/5): Great and value for - The host was super helpful and friendly. The location was stunning.
• Omar (8/5): Very good - It's nice place with warm welcoming owners. Breakfast in the morning was just like at the mountains. If you would like to come I recommend to you to come from Gramsh as from Berat you need to have 4x4 or some car which is higher than the normal one..
• Joschka (10/5): Exceptional -
• Aigul (9/5): Superb -
• Fran (10/5): Highly recommended gem - The location is very rural and a fantastic opportunity to see Albanian countryside and life in the hills. The food was homecooked from local produce - totally delicious. Beds very very comfortable! The family are wonderful hosts and willing to help in any way they can. The journey from the town to the guest house is wonderful (we were picked up in the 4x4 from Berat for a small charge) and the walks are amazing. We are so happy we booked this stay.
• Cohen-fournier (10/5): Magical - Simply amazing. This was by far our favorite place in Albania. We left the south because it was too noisy and full of people. We ended up at this beautiful and flowery guesthouse, in the middle of the Mont Tomorr park. Batjar and his family are so welcoming and kind. The food was homemade and delicious. The village is very authentic. If you're looking for something different and natural in Albania, this is the best.
• Jóhannes (10/5): Brimming with authenticity - An absolute gem in the middle of nowhere. If you want authenticity, don’t look any further.
• Philipp (9/5): Superb - Nice located. Awesome friendly family that runs the business!
• Sylvie (7/5): An immersion in a mountain's tiny village - communication to be improved - The location is amazing. We could walk a bit to the lake, meet some habitants, feel the life of the village. We couldn't have seen this without going to the guesthouse. The food was fresh and good. Main problem is the communication regarding the accessibilty of the place. You must be ready to make 90min of very bumpy road in an old 4X4, pay extra for it - up to 50€ in total (we payed 27€) - and adapt to their timing. We stayed one night and had to leave at 8am. They are not clear about all of this so you should ask them precisions before going. View among the road is really beautiful though. So we think it worth it if you like this kind of adventure and agreed in advance about the cost and the timing. Other inconvenient was the shower: nearly no water and barely warm.
• Dominic (10/5): Wow. What an amazing experience - It is hard to fully describe how amazing this stay was. I'll start with the location. It is absolutely perfect for exploring Tomorr National Park and the guesthouse is situated with the most incredible views to look at while relaxing/eating in their garden area. There are very few (if any) other guesthouses within the park so staying here allows you to fully explore without the need for a transfer from Berat everyday. We were able to walk to Sotire waterfall (which we basically had to ourselves), walk to a lake which was also deserted and was so warm to swim in, and you can also hike to the Peak from here (you could not do this from Berat in a day without a transfer). The family that run this guesthouses are what makes this place truly special though. We were welcomed with open arms from the very first moment. They are such a wonderful family who do everything they can to help you, be it drive/walk with you a short way to the start of a hike (sometimes they even accompany you the whole way if needed) or plot out a hiking route (as there are very few recorded trails). The mum is also the most amazing cook and we really felt like we had some proper traiditonal Albanian food while we were there. Not only that but a couple who were staying at the same as us had a birthday and Batjar (the owner) helped arrange balloons and a cake, as well as then bringing out the Albanian music and raki for us all to enjoy and learn some traditional Albanian dances. The room was comfortable even in the summer, the shower was warm, they had fridges where you can buy water, drinks, beer from. A few things to note in terms of logistics that will help anyone else planning on getting here: 1. It's useful to have phone signal so that you can WhatsApp Batjar to arrange a pick up from Berat. There is a secure car park for your car in Berat for the duration of your stay (free but think of the cost of transfer as paying for this too) 2. Nothing. It was all perfect
• Brimmer (10/5): Exceptional -
• Zoe (10/5): 10/10 and wish we could have stayed for longer! The lake is a must see - Myself and my partner were blown away by the place. The family run place is so friendly and offer pick up from Berat which is needed as there’s not currently a paved road to the property! I loved the authenticity and the quiet peaceful views.. the food is also amazing! Everything was perfect!
• Jitka (10/5): Amazing place in the national park - This accommodation exceeded our expectations. Beautiful little old village in the mountains. Batjar and his family are very friendly and nice people. Batjat's wife is a really great cook. There are 2 beautiful lakes nearby for swimming. Village inhabitants were very friendly people and although we dont speak albanian, meeting them was amazing. The journey in Batjar's car from Berat to the village was also an amazing experience, because there were many beautiful views of the mountains and countryside and Batjar is a fun companion.
• Anastasia (10/5): Cozy refuge surrounded by nature and run by a beautiful family - This place was phenomenal. The whole family is so welcoming and kind, you can feel they genuinely enjoy having around guests from all corners of the world. The nature is beautiful, perfect if you’re looking for a tranquil place.
• Jan (10/5): Exceptional - Location and family vibe in village. Nature!
• Martin (10/5): Exceptional - Everything perfect!
