• Judit (10/5): -
• Martina (10/5): Perfetto. - Struttura super accogliente e pulita. I proprietari sono delle persone meravigliose. Da ragazza con origini albanesi posso dire di essermi sentita proprio a casa! La colazione è davvero uno spettacolo, offrono cibo della tradizione albanese. Alloggiare qui ti permette di vivere l’esperienza in albania al 100%.
• Paola (10/5): Très bon séjour dans la ville ancienne de Gjirokaster, belle découverte dans ce quartier ancien ! - Tout était parfait, l’emplacement dans la vieille ville, l’accueil des hôtes, la chambre, la salle de bains, le petit déjeuner excellent et servi sur une belle terrasse qui domina toute la vallée de Gjirokaster !! Les hôtes sont particulièrement attentionnés et aux petits soins, nous reviendrons sûrement !! Rien à signaler
• Fabiana (10/5): Lugar muy acogedor - Excelente vista y la amabilidad de los dueños . Exquisito el desayuno y la cena Todo muy bien
• mohamed (10/5): Havre de paix fantastique - Une experience unique à Gjirokaster, complétée par la bienveillance et la générosité des hôtes. Ils sont souriants et très serviables. Le guest house est situé à 15min à pied du bazar de gjirokaster et du château, les 15 minutes de marche vont vous hypnotiser avec les vues sur les montagnes et les anciennes constructions. Stationnement à côté du guesthouse et plus besoin de bouger le vehicule. Le matin les hotes vous offrent un petit dej traditionnel complet et généreux compris dans votre réservation. Je recommande vivement et je vais surement y revenir un jour pour séjourner pour une durée plus longue
• elisabeth (9/5): A venir découvrir - Le petit déjeuner copieux servi sur la terrasse au beau point de vue , la décoration soignée de la chambre, l accueil et la réactivité de nos hôtes. La mise à disposition d un garage fermé ( voiture taille moyenne) et le château 15 minutes à pied La chambre que nous occupions était relativement petite,pas facile quand on a une grande valise à ouvrir . Les rues sont parfois bien pentues et étroites mais rien d impossible.
• Kelly (10/5): Family home stay with total Albanian hospitality and bonus being walking distance to amazing sights and restaurants. - Only stayed one night but enjoyed proximity to castle and the terrace was lovely. Breakfast was home cooked by the family. All the fresh clean water you could drink. Safe and secure parking for free. Comfy bed. Excellent stay. We communicated even though neither of us spoke the same language. Kindness is the universal language. It’s really uphill and I was very nervous driving but I made it ok so an experienced driver in mountains will be fine as I had zero experience and made it!!
• Faustine (9/5): - Les hôtes sont très accueillants ! L’emplacement était idéale et la chambre très confortable
• Nawal (10/5): Tout était parfait - Tout était parfait
• Aisetean (10/5): Une adresse que je recommande les yeux fermés si vous passez à Gjirokastër. Merci encore pour cet accueil que nous n’oub - Un accueil exceptionnel et très humain. La propriétaire nous a reçues avec beaucoup de chaleur et de bienveillance, comme de la famille. Petit-déjeuner délicieux, chambre impeccable et pleine de charme. Une adresse à faire absolument à Gjirokastër.
• Harsh Vardhan (10/5): Excellent location, lovely hosts. - Property is situated in a very quiet location and quite close to the castle. Our hosts were absolutely fantastic.
• Alexandre (10/5): - Nous sommes venus avec ma conjointe le 29 avril 2026 et nous avons été acceuillis très chaleureusement par notre hôte qui nous a fait sentir comme chez nous ! La chambre est très propre et confortable, mais prévoyez une couette en plus qui se situe dans l’armoire la nuit. Le petit déjeuner est très copieux, bon et frais. La vue au petit dej sur les montagnes est incroyable. Je recommande ce couple d’hôtes !
• Melvin (10/5): -
• Norman (10/5): - Espectaculares vistas en la terraza y trato inmejorable de los propietarios, un 10!
• René (10/5): Nejlepší ubytování na naší cestě! - Vše ještě lepší než jsme očekávali. Lokalita, ubytování, majitelé, snídaně,....
• Birgit (10/5): - Das Guva Guest House hat eine einmalige Lage mit Blick auf die Berge. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Parken war vor Ort möglich. Das albanischen Frühstück auf der Dachterrasse des Hauses war sehr gut.
• Charline (10/5): Le point de chute parfait pour visiter Gjirokaster et vivre une expérience locale ! - Tout était parfait ! La chambre est très propre et la vue n’en parlons pas : à couper le souffle surtout depuis la terrasse de toit où nous avons pu déguster un très bon petit dej local et fait maison. Les gérants ont été aux petits soins, on était comme a la maison ! Le logement n’est pas en plein centre mais à deux pas et nous avions donc la vue sur le château. Je vous la recommande à 100% !
• Ambre (10/5): Parfait ! Magnifique vue sur le mont et les hôtes sont adorables, mention spéciale pour le petit déjeuner et the sur le -
• Aussiette (9/5): Des propriétaires formidables, et un petit déjeuner merveilleux avec une vue fantastique -
• Jonathan (10/5): - Chambre très propre. Hôtes aux petits soins. Terrasse avec belle vue sur les montagnes
• Cecile (10/5): séjour incroyable - chambres d'hôtes familiales et cosy, seulement 3 chambres disponibles. malgré la barrière de la langue les hôtes sont incroyables, ils sont disponibles et toujours prêt à vous rendre service. le petit déjeuner est compris est complet ainsi que copieux. un garage et place de parking disponibles et de même ils vont vous guider pour prendre place mais aussi en sortir car il faut dire que les rues sont étroites, pentus et il faut être serein de s'y rendre. sans oublier la vu incroyable depuis la chambre et la terrasse du petit déjeuner ! merci à eux.
• Haydee (9/5): - Nuestra estancia en Guva ha sido muy agradable. Los dueños son súper majos y estaban pendientes de todo. Habitación muy cómoda y muy limpia. Desayuno típico en la terraza inmejorable. Lo recomendamos mucho y si volvemos algún día, ahí estaremos de nuevo.
• delphine2105 (10/5): Séjour absolument génial ! - - Les hôtes sont adorables, très disponibles et serviables. -Le petit déjeuner albanais était excellent et copieux - La vue du balcon de la chambre et de la terrasse à l'étage offre un cadre exceptionnel ! - L'accessibilité au centre ville à pied (environ 15/20 minutes de marche) RAS
• Knaab (10/5): -
• Jonathan (9/5): - Beautiful view and attentive couple who offered us tea and coffee upon arrival. Enjoyed a lovely breakfast on the terrace. Conveniently located near the city to allow you to walk to the castle and center town.
• Gabriella (10/5): Really homely, clean, incredible hosts and breakfast. - Extremely clean. Hosts were flawlessly attentive without being overbearing. Breakfast were incredible, with a terrace for eating with unmatched views. Very communicative and helped us to organise transport.

• Lore (10/5): Thuiskomen in Gjirokastër. - Wat een geweldig verblijf! Super lieve mensen en een mooie kamer. ‘s Ochtends een heerlijk verzorgd ontbijt op het zonnige terras. Continu gekoeld water beschikbaar in de koelkast op het binnenplaatsje. Kortom dit was top! /
• Peter (10/5): Schönes Zimmer und sehr gutes Frühstück bei einem tollen Blick auf die Berge. - Sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Tolles Frühstück bei atemberaubender Aussicht. Auch das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis war sehr gut.
• León Martínez (10/5): Magníficas vacaciones - Limpieza, la habitación amplia y cómoda. El trato del matrimonio fue magnífico, Todo ok
• Andreas (10/5): Absolut empfehlenswert - geniale Unterkunft. Gerne wieder!! - Unglaublich liebenswerte und umsorgende Gastwirte. Tolle Kommunikation von Anfang bis Ende. Schöne, ruhige Lage abseits des Touristen-tumults und gleichzeitig sehr nah - alles ist fußläufig sehr schnell erreichbar. Außerdem sehr sauber, tolle Zimmer, hochwertige Ausstattung. Alles war super - wenn man einen Punkt nennen könnte, dann nur, dass das Duschwasser kalt war.
• Andreas (10/5): -
• Brittani (9/5): Lovely local hosts. Incredible breakfast and views - The hosts went above and beyond during our stay and provided us with free filtered water, coffee/tea whenever as well as a fantastic breakfast. The view from the balcony and the rooftop terrace was breathtaking.
• Rainer (10/5): Absolut zu empfehlen - ruhiges Zimmer mit neu renoviertem Bad, alles sehr sauber. Lage am Hang mit schönem Ausblick. Zu Fuß ca. 20 Minuten zur Altstadt . Sehr freundliche Vermieter, gutes reichhaltiges albanisches Frühstück. Frühstück teilweise mit ziemlich viel Fett zubereitet ( gebratene Eier, Würstchen, fritierte Pekora). Es gab aber auch frisches Obst und Gemüse, also gute Auswahl. Ansonsten überhaupt nichts Negatives.
• Sylvie (10/5): Je vous recommande vivement cet endroit - La gentillesse des propriétaires. Monsieur nous a gentiment ouvert son garage pour mettre la voiture. Chambre très propres, petit déjeuner sur la terrasse, face aux montagnes. Que des spécialités locales cuisinées par la maîtresse de maison : délicieux beignets albanais, tout chaud servi avec une confiture de cerise, omelette, saucisses, fêta,… Fruits frais du jardin Thé local et le vrai café turc ! Vraiment magnifique ! Tout était parfait pour 42€ avec le petit déjeuner
• laci (8/5): -
• Sydney (10/5): Feel like your at your sweet grandmas house! - Cant recommend this place enough. When my partner and I travel we really love to have the vibe where you feel like your experiencing the culture, along with those extra touches that really go a long way. The room was so clean, the breakfast was delicious, and the couple are very kind and you feel like your at your grandmas house. It was a quick walk to the main place but still quiet. Beautiful view also! :) Nothing!
• Philippa Lockwood (10/5): Sweet hosts, delicious breakfast, great location - The hosts, Nora and Islam, were the sweetest older couple! They didn’t speak English, but we were able to communicate with their daughter over WhatsApp who was responsive and provided great information on our stay. We appreciated the location which was walking distance to old town. The views of both the mountains and the castle were incredible. The breakfast was delicious and generous, made with organic produce from their garden, and served with love. Highly recommend! Everything was amazing, nothing bad to report.
• Valerie (10/5): Notre coup de coeur en Albanie. Magique avec des hôtes aux petits soins. - Des hôtes d'une gentillesse extrême. Toujours à l'écoute et à nos petits soins. Une terrasse sublime avec une vue exceptionnelle. Un petit déjeuner maison copieux et très bon, permettant de découvrir les saveurs albanaises. Les hôtes proposent aussi le dîner pour un forfait très avantageux. Nous l'avons fait au retour d'un journée d'excursion. Repas fait maison, copieux et savoureux servis sur la terrasse au coucher du soleil, c'était magique !!! Les chambres sont refaites avec goût et avec des matériaux de qualité. Accès à Gjirokastër à pied par la route ou par un raccourci. Un peu de dénivelé, comme partout en Albanie, mais la vue est tellement belle, qu'on oublie l'effort. Un véritable coup de coeur pour ce lieu et pour nos hôtes. rien
• Anke (10/5): Super verblijf, erg van genoten! - Zeer mooie kamer op een leuke locatie. Het uitzicht op het terras was prachtig. De gastvrouw en gastheer waren super lief en behulpzaam. /
• Azucena (10/5): Maravilloso - Los dueños son personas encantadoras y que hacen la estancia super cómoda y agradable. Ofrecen agua ilimitada y bebidas como café y té de forma totalmente gratuita. Cuando llegas al hotel te envían un mensaje en tu idioma con toda la información relevante. La habitación es cómoda, amplia y muy limpia, el baño es genial y muy bien equipado. La terraza de la habitación es muy agradable y tranquila por lo que sentarte a leer allí era maravilloso. El desayuno es muy completo y variado y se sirve en la terraza superior con preciosas vistas y total tranquilidad. Repetiría sin duda. La habitación no tiene nevera pero hay una en la zona común donde puedes guardar lo que quieras. Aunque no está en el centro y parece alejado en realidad no lo está, se puede llegar al castillo en escasos 10 minutos andando, con zapato cómodo puesto que, como todo el centro histórico, el suelo es empedrado y en pendiente.
• Yousra (10/5): Hôtes adorables, et petit déjeuner très délicieux -
• Susana (8/5): -
• Guest (4/5): Guest House Cher pour ce que c'est (55€ la nuit) - Disponibilité du propriétaire Existence d'un garage Hébergement très loin des centres d'intérêts Petit déjeuner copieux mais très gras Chambre petite pour le prix Une terrasse en plein cagnard avec seulement 2 parasols
• Ariadna (9/5): Muy buena alternativa en Gjirokaster sin el bullicio del centro! - La comodidad de la habitación y su amplitud. Los anfitriones han sido muy atentos y han tenido en cuenta cada detalle. La complejidad del estacionamiento si hay otros huéspedes.
• Guest (10/5): - Tout était parfait, le couple qui s’occupe du logement est si adorable et bienveillant !! Tout est d’une propreté incroyable et un petit déjeuner hors normes ! Allez y les yeux fermés Seuls petits bémols : rideaux pas occultants pour ceux qui craignent la lumière du jour et il faut environ 15 minutes à pieds pour aller dans le centre de gjirokaster mais la balade est très sympa !
• Jennifer (10/5): Même si il y a la barrière de la langue cela ne gêne en rien l’accueil et le bon déroulement du séjour , ce couple est t - La vue sur la montagne de la où on prend le petit dej Le petit déjeuner fait maison et ultra copieux La gentillesse et serviabilité des hôtes Rien
• Robert (10/5): This was the best all round accommodation experience I’ve ever had on my travels. - I stayed at Guva for 2 nights with my wife and two daughters. Pristine, comfortable rooms. Incredible views from large balconies. Utterly delightful hosts, Islam and Dora, and truly delicious breakfasts with various dishes that enabled us to skip lunch on both days. We also opted for home cooked dinner one night, which was our best meal of our 9 day trip, enjoyed on the roof terrace with breathtaking views. The whole experience of staying at Guva was incredible for all of us, and we could not be more grateful to our exceptional hosts and to their son, based in Tirana, who was really helpful making arrangements for us like booking a taxi to take us to Saranda. Huge thanks. We’d be back like a shot if we ever came to Gjirokaster again. Loved everything about it
• Emma (10/5): Perfect - The owners of the guest house are very friendly and they made an amazing breakfast for us. The view from the roof top (where we had our breakfast) is stunning ⛰️ The room was clean and cozy. I would definitely recommend to anyone who’s staying in Gjirokaster! ⭐️
• Kim (10/5): Amazing place to stay, the view takes your breath away - Everything was just perfect , the view was absolutely stunning and the rooms were fabulous, hosts were wonderful, wish I had booked longer , I could have sat looking at the view for days Nothing
• Madigan (10/5): Exceptional - The terrace and breakfast were outstanding, rooms super clean and the couple hosting were so cute even though there was a language barrier we made it work! Nothing
• Lily (10/5): Exceptional - The location was incredible, beautiful view from the terrace, hosts were so generous and attentive, we couldn’t have asked for more. The breakfast was delicious. Very clean accommodation and chilled filter water provided. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.
• Caushaj (10/5): Amazing stay at Guva Guest House! - Amazing stay at Guva Guest House! The comfort was excellent — everything was clean, cozy, and well-organized. The price was very reasonable and totally worth it considering the location, comfort, and the incredibly generous breakfast. The view was absolutely stunning! I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Gjirokastër.
• Nicholas (9/5): Superb -
• Rostislava (10/5): Lovely stay in Gjirokastra - Lovely and quaint guest house in Gjirokastra. From the outside it's traditional but inside everything has been updated and it's very nicely done. Big comfy beds and the balcony looks out to the mountains. The hosts treated us to an Albanian breakfast on the terrace on the roof of the house. It was a very nice way to start the day. It's a bit of a walk to the old part of town but we needed it after the big feast we devoured at dinner. It's quite a magical area, recommend getting out and about at night as the streets in old town are lively and full of restaurants and bars. Definitely recommend visiting Gjirokastra and staying at Guva!
• Sule (10/5): Exceptional - We were welcomed by our lovely hosts and instantly felt at home! The room was really clean and comfortable and all the facilities were brand new. The best shower I’ve had in a long time! But the best part of this place was the incredible view over the valley, it was really special. We got to enjoy the view over a delicious home cooked breakfast on the roof terrace. The property was in a great location just a 15 min walk to the main area and bazaar. The whole town is on a hill so expect some uphill walking to get about! Overall fabulous stay and we’d highly recommend to anyone staying in Gjirokaster!
• Kloe (10/5): Exceptional - very good location that can be easily reached even on foot, breakfast was included in the room price, also very tasty. kind hosts and helpful for everything. I recommend it for anyone to enjoy this guesthouse with a magnificent view
• Jill (10/5): Perfect hosts and perfect atmosphere!!!!! - The owner are so super friendly and caring. They helped us with our own problem where ever they could. Accommodating people, with a good taste of decoration. The room is cozy and have everything you need. If not just ask. They will bring it you. We ask for a hair dyer. They also give us their own charger. My wish for a veggie breakfast was not a big deal, and also they take care of my allergies. We mostly communicate with Google translate. That worked good, if not they called her daughter. She speaks English. All in all we can recommend the apartment!
• Jolanta (10/5): Lovely guest house within walking distance to the castle - Comfortable guest house with lovely attentive owners. We felt like visiting relatives ☺️ Nothing
• Nikos (10/5): Exceptional - Up on the hill, quiet place, view, very close to the center of the old town. Not large but very clean and cozy room. Excellent hosts and an incredibly enormous and quality breakfast
• Anikó (10/5): Exceptional - We really liked our room in this guesthouse! The view from the balcony was incredible! The hosts were great, and it was a perfect start for the day to have a big and delicious breakfast on the rooftoop with a view to the surrounding mountains. The room was clean, well equipped and quiet.There's also a possibility to park there (although the garage can only fit one car) and it is easy to find it. I can highly recommend this place to anyone who would like to stay close to the center (the castle is around 10 mins on foot from there) in a comfortable accomodation.
• Prajun (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent host , amazing breakfast and great stay
• Maria (10/5): Beautiful small guesthouse - The room was brand new, the view was spectacular, and the owners were just wonderful. Breakfast was delicious and had the best view, with amazing service. It was our favourite stay in Albania during the trip. We would love to go back! Gjirokastër was built on the mountains, so there is a steep hill to reach the guesthouse by car. However, once you are there, it's only a short 10-15 min walk to the Castle and Bazaar (and it's much quieter than staying near the Bazaar).
• Felix (10/5): Exceptional -
• Brunilda (10/5): 10/10 recommend this place - I recently stayed at this delightful guest house in Gjirokastra and had an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, the owners went above and beyond, even helping me find a taxi to reach the guest house. The room I stayed in offered all the commodities, and the rooftop view was simply stunning, on one side overlooking the historic castle and the charming traditional streets and the other side facing mountains. The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet, authentic street, just a short walk from the old bazaar. The breakfast provided was both huge and delicious, adding a wonderful start to each day. The true highlight was the warm hospitality and the genuine local vibe that made me feel right at home. Highly recommend this guest house for a memorable stay in Gjirokastra!
• Charlene (10/5): Exceptional - My husband injured his leg and the host and her family were super helpful. Called a taxi and even accompanied us to the hospital.
• Mygell (10/5): Scenic and pittoresk location with the sweetest staff. - The location was in an area with other small family home stays. You stay with the locals in their home, which I really like. Wonderful pittoresque area just 400 meters away from the castle and 700 meters away from the old town and bazaar. The rooms are clean and spacious and quite new I guess. Breakfast on the roof terrace gives a wonderful view over the mountains. Really positive about the property. The staff were an older couple who were really sweet. So kind. A great stay, with sweet and kind staff, in a real Albanian village atmosphere. Nothing I didn’t like.
• Elena (10/5): Exceptional - Great hospitality and really nice attitude from the hosts at the spot - even though they spoke no other language apart from Albanian. We had though very good distant communication with the English speaking place owner, very helpful and available online at all times. The breakfast is abundant and very very delicious, with home made meals and served with the greatest care by the kind host. The rooms are small, but tidy and comfortable, and air conditioned as well - which was essential in the very hot days we had during our stay. The location of the house is good, and it is indeed close to the city center - but as the crow flies. One should take into account the elevation of the narrow streets leading through the old city walls into the heart of Argyrocastro. Walking there is picturesque but also tough experience.
• Ysanne (9/5): First time I tipped for service - Absolute amazing hosts. They didn't speak any English, but really tried their hardest to still communicate non-verbally with us. They provided a garage where we could park our car and greeted us with a bowl of candies. Room was nice and cozy. We had contacted them beforehand about the possibility to do laundry and they remembered this when we arrived. They didn't charge us anything extra for this service. We were allowed to store some drinks we had bought in their fridge due to the lack of a mini fridge. When we picked our drinks up they asked if we wanted to sit on the rooftop terrace so they turned on a light there. They were extremely on point and aware of us, serving breakfast as soon as we were up and locking up as soon as we went into the room. Absolute amazing service! Room was a bit small with the beds and desk, so it was sometimes a bit of a dance getting around. Parking is limited, we were lucky to be the only ones there.
• Piere (10/5): Perfect place! - Perfect place! The room was even more beautiful than it looked in the photo. Although the weather was hot, the room was very cool and comfortable. I came from the beach, and the hosts helped us with the laundry service, which they offered us free of charge. The abundant and delicious breakfast with organic and traditional products. I would come back again.
• Elena (10/5): Exceptional - The house is very clean and the rooms are comfortable, though not super big. There is everything one would need for a short stay. The hosts are very, very nice and wanting to help. They do not speak English, but will make everything possible to make your stay a pleasure. The breakfast included in the price is abundant and tasty, absolutely worth it. The house is close to the fortress and the bazaar, but also not that close:appr. 20 min walking because of the steep streets. Wait for the exact location by the kind host, so you don't waste time. Support via chat in English is outstanding, no complaints about that!
• Thomas (10/5): everything was perfect - I really liked this environment, the service people were very available and polite. The food was very tasty and with organic products. I would definitely recommend it
• Silvia (10/5): Exceptional - The room was cozy, very clean and new. The owners were very considerate. The Tradicional breakfast was amazing and the views from it spectacular. The owners barely speak any English but it's manegeable. We used Google translate and gestures. The location was good, only thing is the village is on a hill so it's tricky to get anywhere.
• Daniela (10/5): We like to stay here. The hostes they are very kind and attencious. It's not far away from the center of Gjirokastër - The rooms they are very clean and comfortable. Amazing breakfast very complete with a beautiful view to the mountain. Kind hostes
• Johannes (10/5): Beautiful place.Very friendly, peaceful and clean. - Beautiful place, easy to find. Very friendly, peaceful and clean. Girokaster is a beautiful city. I recommend it 100%
• Simonetta (10/5): I really liked the hospitality in this hostel, I was on a short business trip to Gjirokaster and by chance I found this - I really liked the hospitality in this guesthouse, I was on a short business trip to Gjirokaster and by chance I found this host available. I was super pleased with the service, the cleanliness, the tranquility of this environment. I would like to come back as soon as I have again the opportunity.
