- Edyta (8/5): -
- Petra (9/5): - Die Abwicklung war schnell und unkompliziert. Großes Zimmer, gut ausgestattete Küche.
- frederic (7/5): -
- Dennis (10/5): Clean and allround great house at an amazing location. - Very very friendly host. Was always available and helpful in giving advice. The rooms were very clean and you had everything you need. Honestly nothing. Location was great. Host was super friendly. Everything was clean and no noise. No complaints whatsoever.
- Marie (10/5): - Majitel strašně milej o ochotnej člověk, pokoj perfektně čistý, koupelna též sice trochu odlehlejší lokalita ale to mě vůbec nevadilo. Opravdu můžu jenom doporučit. Nic
- Lýdia (10/5): - Krásné a tiché prostředí s nádhernou zahradou - po bydlení v rušné Tiraně bylo tohle ubytování nádherná změna. Majitel byl veeelice vstřícný a přátelský, cítili jsme se jako doma. Doporučil nám, jak nejlépe využít náš den v parku, kde zajít na byrek, na večeři apod. Naprosto skvělá volba!
- Alexandra (10/5): Romantic, cozy room in a quiet area. House looks so beautiful. I will definitely come back again. - Amazing house, camera's in every floor. Parking space in the garden. Peaceful, romantic ans very spacious. Also spotless.
- Philipp (8/5): -
- Reinhard (10/5): - A comfortable apartment with all the ameneties you need, free coffee plus a little veranda looking out on a beautiful orchard (also great for stargazing at night). The owner Bruno was very friendly and helpful, answering all our questions and giving us Tips about things to do in the area. We would definitely stay here again.
- Anne (7/5): Typical Albanian accomodation - The apartment was spacious, we liked sitting in the patio area at the front of the house. Close to the national park. The hosts were friendly and responded quickly to our messages. Typical Albanian breakfast provided daily with fresh rolls and chocolate croissants. Use of a good coffee machine supplied with coffee beans. Close to the town with a good sized supermarket. Use of the washing machine and liquid. It could do with a good clean and the bedroom was cluttered, the wardrobe was full of stuff and the room had a large cot with another mattress or something in.
- Martina (10/5): - Prostor za motor,čistoča,kavica...
- Sejfulla (8/5): -
- Mickael (7/5): - Très belle maison typique albanaise spacieuse Le petit déjeuné pourrai être amélioré : pas de thé ni cacao , la machine à café ds l appartement ne fonctionne pas ,
- Sarina (6/5): Ik begrijp de 9,6 op booking niet, eerder een 6 of 7 - Dichtbij het natuurgebied waar je leuk kunt wandelen, een boottocht kunt maken. Er zijn fietsen die je mag gebruiken. Naar aanleiding van de recensies had ik hier veel meer van verwacht. Het is gedateerd maar dat vinden wij niet erg, wat ik wel heel jammer vond was dat het absoluut niet schoon was en wij vonden het ontbijt niet heel lekker.
- Prune (6/5): - Hôte réactif Tranquillité Nous n’avons pas trouvé de petits déjeuners alors qu’il ait présent sur les photos.
- Rafał (9/5): - The house is located in a quiet countryside area, away from major tourist attractions, but this allows you to 'taste' a true Albanian village life. The host was very nice, responsive and helpful. He gave us many useful tips about places worth visiting in the surrounding area and as a gift he brought us a watermelon. The house is sounded by a garden full of orange, lemon and olive trees and there is no problem with parking space.
- Mélanie (10/5): -
- Mélanie (10/5): -
- Simon (6/5): Beautiful garden - Garden around the house was nice and house is in peaceful location. Apartment interior should be renovated, especially bathroom. We missed a bit more dishes.
- Denny (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly and helpful staff, good location close to the village and the park Everything was fine
- Aneta (9/5): Superb - Very friendly host, good communication, fresh fruits
- Eva (8/5): Very good - The host was very helpful and kind. The house is on the edge of the village, where it was really quiet.
- Mark (10/5): Exceptional - This is a comfortable guest house and is in a quiet location surrounded by farmland. It has great views from the third floor and we were able to leave our touring bicycles in the garage overnight. Ours had shared facilities but we were the only ones staying so it was ideal. All rooms were a good size and the washing machine and kitchen equipment were perfect.
- Michał (10/5): Highly recommend. - Great hospitality, can-do attitude. House is clean and well equipped. As well as garden.
- Kathryn (10/5): Exceptional - This guest house is stunning. The host really made the stay for us. She was so welcoming and made a beautiful traditional Albanian breakfast each morning-most of the produce was from her garden. The place was clean and so quiet. We loved the garden with the olive and fig trees, fresh herbs and root veg. Nothing to do with the guesthouse but there’s not loads to do in Divjake, we stayed 2 nights as a stop gap between Theth and Dhermi which was sufficient.
- Mies (10/5): Exceptional -
- Timothy (8/5): On the edge of the Nature Reserve. - Our host was extremely friendly and welcoming. We were presented with an exceptional breakfast in the morning and enjoyed it alongside the birdsong in the garden.
- Jaroslav (9/5): 10/10 recommended - The host was an amazingly nice woman, looking after all our needs. We parked in a garage and had great homemade traditional breakfast. The flat had all we needed. Great value for money! It was a bit cold in the rooms.
- Francois (10/5): Exceptional - Authentic Guest house very warm welcoming, I really appreciated the kindness, simplicity and generosity of the host.
- Eva (8/5): Very well equiped flat near the nature park. - A very nice flat in a villa with a garden with fantastic breakfast. Very kind host and very professional. The villa is also good located not far from the nature park and the sea.
- Ann (10/5): Exceptional - The hostess was so hospitable and kind. She provided a delicious breakfast early for us as we had to catch a flight. It was a great location and nice to see the orange trees outside. It was very quiet and peaceful.
- Michal (10/5): fantastic place - everything was fantastic. Very helpful owner. Clean House. fantastic breakfast.
- Julie (10/5): Incredible Albanian hospitality. - Experiencing true Albanian hospitality. Mariana was an exceptionally kind and caring host, breakfasts were beautiful! Peaceful setting with good restaurants nearby (especially The Pelikan). We also loved John the puppy and the two kittens ❤️. Nothing
- Pieter (9/5): great value, hospitality and breakfast - calm relaxing fruit garden view close from natural parc Would have liked some more ecological and practical info on the natural parc nearby
- Zdeněk (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gabriela (10/5): Exceptional - Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The place was peaceful, beautiful, and perfect for relaxation. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The breakfast was delicious, prepared with love and care, and truly made our mornings special. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
- Suzanne (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely accommodation. Friendly and hospitable hosts. Secure parking on site. Supermarket 10minute walk from the accommodation. A very peaceful location where you’re really made to feel at home. Would definitely recommend.
- Johannes (10/5): Great hospitality and apartment. - Everything was just amazing. The woman who owns the house welcomed us with melons that were super tasty. We were also able to sleep together with all three people in one separate flat and in two rooms, which we were allowed to rebook from two the pre-booked two separate rooms that would have been in different floors of the house without paying more. The apartment was spotless clean and large. Everything worked perfectly. We were also allowed to park the car inside the garage. Breakfast was plentiful, fresh and delicious. There was also a super cute puppy called John. One of the best stays we had in Albania. Nothing. Everything was great!
- Jiani (10/5): Peaceful and nice stay - Everything was perfect in this house, we felt welcomed since the moment we arrived. The host did her best to host us and she pays so much attention to details. The puppy of theirs is beyond cute. The location is convenient with a car and is close to the lagoon and national park. The restaurant she recommended was also one of the best we had on the trip in Albania! What truly shows the kindness of the host is when we have left and realised that we forgot a water bottle at her house, she helped us to deliver it all the way to Tirana. Thank you so much! We will definitely stay again when returning! None
- Jonas (10/5): Exceptional - The host was great, extremely hospitable and super concerned about all our needs. We immediately felt at home. Really outstanding experience!
- Luke (10/5): Fantastic, brilliant, highly recommend - Our stay was fantastic. We can’t recommend this place highly enough. The lady who owns the guest house is so kind and her breakfasts were so delicious. I haven’t slept in a bed which was so comfortable since either! 10 out of 10 stay. Nothing was wrong, all excellent.
- Ianara (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Divjake - Mariana’s attention was exceptional. She payed attention to every single detail during our stay. We travelled by bike and everything was made easy. The installations are very well equipped and very clean. The food was homemade and very tasty.
- Esmeralda (10/5): A gem in the heart of Divjaka - Where do I start? It wouldn't be sufficient even if I say that it was better than a 5 stars hotel. The place was immaculate, comfortable, quiet, with all amenities, spacious, but more than everything we appreciated the hospitality and the care of the owners. Only a 5 min drive from the forest and the beach, it was a home away from home. With a nice and neat garden, with a fig tree, from which we ate fresh figs. When we come back to Divjaka, we would stay nowhere else but here. Nothing at all
- Laura (10/5): Exceptional - The host's attention to the detail It's not that we didn't like but you need a car to get there
- Barbora (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place, very nice lady who took great care of us. Amazing home-made breakfast. I recommend it!
- Alicia (10/5): Exceptional - We had a great stay at this guesthouse. Mariana was really kind, she made us feel at home and was so nice with our kids. The apartment was very well equipped with all we needed, new kitchenware, even a really nice crib for our baby. We were delighted by the amazing breakfast that was served every morning (the best that we had in Albania!). We also were offered fruit from the garden and could borrow some beach toys for our kids. Thank you Mariana! Nothing, everything was great!
- Txus (10/5): Nice house owned by grat hosts - We can only say good things about our stay in this house. The house itself is very nice but the best thing of all was the owners, Mariana an Ben, who are extremely kind, frienly and helful. We certainly recommend this place to anyone who is visiting the area. Mariana and Ben thank you so much for making our stay such a pleasant experience. Everything was great
- Виталий (10/5): Exceptional - The most beautiful stay in Albania! 10 out of 10. Nice room with air conditioner, organic homemade breakfast. The greeting and communication was warm and friendly. Highly recommended!
- Yvonne (10/5): Amazing stay - This place is amazing. The house is much bigger than it looks in the pictures, everything is clean, the gardens are full of fruits and flowers and the host is so nice. She kept saying we could take more fruit from the garden and made a delicious and huge breakfast. The surroundings are calm and quiet, so you will have good nights of sleep. Divjake national park is close by and worth a visit if you like birds and nature.
- Eleanor (10/5): Exceptional - We had a lovely stay at The Garden Guest House. Our host went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and taken care of. She was so welcoming and kind - we are really happy we chose to stay here!
- Harriet (8/5): Very good -
- Florian (10/5): Absolutely stunning! Come for peace and breakfast! - Just one of the best accomodations you can possibly book! Very calm and quiet surroundings (perfect if you're looking for that kind of place), an absolutely lovely host caring about everything even if she had to deal with limited mobility, spacious room/flat with all you need, clean and cozy - and the best is the breakfast. I've never experienced somebody putting so much effort and love into a breakfast! And so many delicious ingredients, too! We even got some free fruits and vegetables straight from the fields. Absolutely stunning. Don't miss out the national park if you're around! They have pelicans!!! The only minor detail that may be improvable is: The bathroom is fully flooded after a shower.
- Margaret (9/5): Quiet local airbnb with lovely views and a gracious host! - The owner was so sweet and friendly and she made sure we were comfortable. The garden view was gorgeous and we were given fresh lemons and other yummy treats from her garden. We enjoyed a lovely leisurely breakfast upstairs on our friend’s balcony. She made us a wonderful breakfast with fresh herbs from her garden and other tasty local dishes.
- Michael (10/5): Our hostess was kind and incredibly friendly and generous. The breakfast was delicious and freshly prepared from the gar - Quiet, clean and functional. Amazing views from the balcony of the setting sun. Nothing
- Radovan (10/5): Absolutely amazing! - Wonderful hosts, very nice and pleasant stay. Highly recommend, you rarely meet hosts like that. Carrying, helpful, just wonderful. Well equipped and clean house.
- Alena (10/5): A fantastic experience! - Absolute TOP! We booked The Garden Guest House and showed up in short time and despite that we were warmly welcomed. Very clean, cozy and spacious accomodation. There is a kitchen with a fridge, a living room with comfortable seating and a beautiful balcony overlooking the garden. The garden and the surroundings of the house are full of flowers, fruits and vegetables. We didn't even know some fruits. The hostess is very careful and focuses on every detail. For example, breakfast! That was a work of art! We will remember this for loooong time! We enjoyed staying so much! Thank you for hosted us like that (and for all vegetable)! Nothing could be better. Everything was absolutely perfect!
- Tanya (9/5): Amazing authentic Albanian experience - Amazing hospitality and breakfast, our host was very friendly and helpful. Gorgeous views from the balcony. Fresh fruit and produce from the garden at breakfast Everything is amazing, however would recommend having a car as although it’s walkable it is a little bit out of the centre
- Sarah (9/5): Lovely stay with friendly host - Very welcoming and friendly host who went out of her way to help us and make sure we had a nice stay. Fantastic breakfast. Comfortable room. Would happily return. Everything was good.
- Tineke (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nikhil (10/5): Best ever accommodation I’ve stayed at on Booking.com. Everyone visiting Divajka should stay here. - The best Booking.com stay I’ve ever had in my life! The property and hosts were excellent. Great location, house and the nicest hosts. The host was attentive, caring and ensured we were comfortable. The beds in our room were extremely comfy and the perfect temperature with bug proof windows. The bathroom was clean, functional and the shower was hot. They cooked us a big, delicious and healthy breakfast every day (vegetables, fruits, eggs, Byrek, marmalade, chorizo) and even cooked us dinner one of the nights (not typically offered but I asked as we arrived late we were extremely grateful - we of course paid as the dinner was absolutely delicious). They even helped me park my car in their garage. Nothing to say.
- Silke (10/5): We had a great Boot Trip to the Lagune, got a lovely breakfast and had nice rest . - Very friendly and a nice quiet place to be.
- Rebecca (10/5): Superb hosting, accommodation, breakfast and value - I don't think I've ever met holiday rental proprietors more welcoming (without being overbearing) than Maria and Beni. They've created a spacious, well-furnished apartment suite on a separate floor in their home with a great kitchen space and a porch overlooking their garden and the agricultural fields beyond. They delivered a plate of beautifully flavourful fruit from their garden on our arrival. The breakfast was by far the best we've had in Albania. They're new to the business of hosting, so we were likely the beneficiaries of an extra measure of enthusiasm. But I've no doubt the quality of what they offer will remain very high. Their home is about a 20 minute walk to the main street of Divjake, which has lots of restaurants, grocery stores, shops, etc. Divjake is in turn very close to Karavasta National Park, which was our destination for some birding. We were so glad we stayed there instead of one of the hotels in the Park (which ideally wouldn't even exist within the park boundaries).
- Nicola (10/5): Exceptional - Delightful hospitality and really lovely relaxed space. The house was really clean and we also got breakfast and delicious fruits straight from her garden. Will definitely come back.
- Harriet (10/5): we loved our stay here- only one night but we could have done more, Marianna was a wonderful host- very kind and accommo - A beautiful property, with an even more beautiful garden
- Tereza (10/5): Exceptional - Super sweet hosts! They showed us the garden, and we ate fresh fruits and vegetables from it. The accommodation is very clean and has everything you need (including a balcony). Breakfast in the morning is very delicious!! We want to come back :)
- Konstantin (10/5): Exceptional - very friendly reception. very good communication. Highly Recommended. the fruit comes from own cultivation.
- Aurélie (10/5): Great and helpful hosts in Divjakë - Exceptional hosts and very clean rooms. Our host were sooooo nice and helpful in every aspect!! Nothing!
- Marek (10/5): Exceptional -
- Leonardo (10/5): Very welcoming staff - Very welcoming hosts there, they offered fresh fruit from time to time and even arranged a trip back to Durres for me. Breakfast was delicious and abundant.
- Kimberley (10/5): Exceptional - The host was very lovely and she made us breakfast in the morning. It was clean and very spacious. We had an issue with the stove in our room but the host was quick to accommodate so we could still cook.
- Alan (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely stay in a lovely house. A warm welcome and a great breakfast! Fantastic!
