Guest Reviews
- Martinus (8/5): MIK was echt fantastisch qua locatie, dichtbij de start van de trail naar teth of de waterval. Omdat we in het voorseizo -
- Andrea (10/5): - The staff was very kind and helpful and the view from our room was spectacular.
- Klodi (7/5): -
- Dragush Mulaj (6/5): Una giornata alla scoperta....... - La disponibilità del personale e la pulizia delle camere.
La colazione buona e abbondante con tutto fresco e del posto. La pubblicità fatta da loro,le stanze e i ambienti sono una cosa e la realtà vissuta e vista di persona un altra cosa😔😔😔.
Purtroppo la posizione della struttura è lontana e trovare una soluzione diversa e quasi impossibile. Le stanze arredate al minimo indispensabile.

- Jens (7/5): - Das Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit, auch das Frühstück war perfekt für einen langen Wandertag. Auch das Zimmer war für eine Nacht super. Leider ging die Heizung nicht, weshalb es ein bisschen kalt war.
- Thomas (10/5): - Very nice woman at the reception. Very great breakfeast
- Kerstin (8/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich, das Frühstück mehr als üppig, die Landschaft war wunderbar. Im Bungalow etwas dunkel, Nachttischlampen wären toll, Infomaterial in Englisch fehlte.
- aroa (10/5): - La amabilidad de las chicas de recepción, nos hicieron un bocadillo para la ruta gratis y estuvieron muy atentos a todo Nada
- jean (6/5): Je n y reviendrais pas - Rien Accueil minimaliste, poubelle pleine à l arrivée dans la chambre, personnel inexistant, pas de café (ou payant) au petit déjeuner
- Wim (8/5): -
- benny (10/5): - Beds were comfy, shower was great, you could see the Alps from the bedroom window and balcony. Breakfast was filling and tasty.
The staff (sisters) were friendly and helpful and were great to chat too.
- Varvara Sh. (4/5): Poor value for money - Quite place, the receptionist girl and the serving madam were quite gentle. Basic facilities, no room amenities, we were very much disappointed when we paid our first dinner full amount per person when they did not serve half of the menu and the blond lady in the kitchen told us "we will compensate it" but they did nothing but taking the amount like nothing happened.
The prices are high -they do not justify the holistic value of the guest experience. They serve a poor breakfast -lack of local products. During our stay, it was a very cold attitude from the staff and we did not feel any spark of the characteristic "feeling like home" and welcoming vibe of North Albania.
- Dennis (8/5): - Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiterinnen.
Zimmer war sauber und bietet alles was das Wandererherz benötigt.
Guter Espresso! Frühstück ist noch ausbaufähig. Man muss aber dazu sagen, dass wir die einzigen Gäste im Hotel waren und alles für uns extra gemacht wurde.
- Marco (10/5): - Ottima esperienza. Stanza pulita e spaziosa. Staff gentilissimo.
Consigliato
- Joshua (10/5): - Nice homey feel to this hotel. Fantastic location. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Location was great with incredible views from everywhere.
- Radia (9/5): Cozy, peaceful, beautiful stay - Beautiful place, great views from the room. Location is great with many restaurants at a walkable distance. The staff was super friendly, and the breakfast was out of this world!
- Daniel (8/5): -
- doci (10/5): - Nje mrëmje e pa harruar me familjen , dhe nje sherbim shum miqsor dhe i shpejte nga staffi.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
- Mitroi (10/5): -
- Joanaape (9/5): Perfect Stop during Peaks of the Balkans - When you hike from Theth to Valbonë and with the intention to go to Çerem, this is the ideal place! Room with airco, very big and with a personal terrace. The staff is super friendly. We received homemade cake with our beer, and the dinner was amazing! They spoiled us with the typical Albanian dinner (call it banquet). Also the breakfast was superb. Pancakes, bread, vegetables, fruit,…. Everything you need to fuel your hike! A very nice experience, we fully recommend this hotel!
- Ergo (10/5): Exceptional - It was a nice area and the staff were super attentive and friendly.
It felt a bit more like hostel, but not in a bad way. Only because of the spirit and liveliness/connecting and young staff and visitors.
Super close to start the hike to Valbona pass and Theth. It was a bit diffict to find. Google maps has the location in a different place, around 5 min car drive difference. Probably the location in google maps has been marked wrong, but we ended up getting live location shared by the host.
- Mirosława (10/5): Exceptional - I had a fantastic experience at this hotel, and I can’t praise the staff enough—especially the incredible lady at the reception. She went above and beyond throughout my stay, always ready to help with anything I needed. Her dedication and kindness truly made a difference—she not only assisted me in every situation but also gave me valuable tips that helped save my trip. I genuinely felt taken care of.
The hotel itself was very clean, with a comfortable room and a normal, well-maintained bathroom with a shower—nothing fancy, but exactly what I needed. The food was another highlight: delicious, homemade, and full of local flavors. You could really taste the regional touch in every meal.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking
- Mohamed (10/5): Exceptional - Incredibly friendly staff. Very accomodating and they go out of their way to make you feel comfortable
- Marc (10/5): Exceptional - Nice hosts All was good
- Shatri (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cédric (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice place and rooms. Big, modern and confortable. They could organize to make food even for those who first did not book it.
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional - Was in a good location, food was good traditional Albanian very nice. Staff were absolutely lovely. Great place to start our adventure from. Five stars. Fantastic view from our window
- Mattias (10/5): Well taken care of - Very friendly and good service. We had the lunch when we arrived and it was amazing, we got plenty of food and it was all well prepared and delicious. The room was clean and cozy.
We had drinks at the bar and they were great too
- Rania (7/5): Good - The location is amazing, the staff is very friendly and cooperative, and the best thing about breakfast is the organic milk :).
- Kristina (9/5): Superb -
- Ksenia (7/5): Good - The family rooms are good size but the kids had to climb a ladder in order to reach the upper part of the room ( like an attic). This made the parents uncomfortable spacially as it had no handrails.
Also they had a problem with the water installations in one of the rooms so we were given a room without central heating but with an electric heater.
On the other hand the receptionist (I think the name is Ida) was very friendly and kind and prepared for us a royal breakfast. We were grateful to her for her kindness.
- Ervis (9/5): Superb - Location,staf 🙂 Little more work for warming the rooms
- Erdit (4/5): Disappointing -
- Kf (5/5): Passable - The staff were incredible, breakfast great No wifi the whole time :( no hot water or toliet paper, power was out most of the time there
- Benedikta (9/5): Amazing base in Valbona with brilliant staff! - Loved the cabin, well equipped and heating was great given the cold and first snow of the season! I finished the hike from Theth in the dark and Bes came to collect me, and he also took me to the ferry in the morning in the dark! He and Ida were both so helpful, thanks a lot! Packed lunch given the early departure was also brilliant. Nothing - bathroom was a bit cold compared to rest of the chalet but didn’t really impact my stay.
- Muharrem (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jessica (8/5): Comfortable room at a newer property near the Valbona/Theth trailhead. - Attractive, warm, private room. Very nice takeawy meal to start our hike to Theth. Well located in relation to trail head.
- Livia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shannen (10/5): Best stay in Albania - We arrived here unwell and the staff were so helpful. They even dried our wet clothes for us. The room was comfortable, heaps of spare blankets and the bathroom was amazing
- DONNA (8/5): - The staff was not present for checking in for an hour.
- Carrie (9/5): Perfect for one night hiking back and forth between Theth and Valbona - Comfortable, clean, & quiet after a long day of hiking from Theth! Staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant was closed for dinner, but there were other guest houses just down the road to eat at. Would stay again. Radiator in our room didn’t seem to be working, so it got a bit chilly, but there were plenty of blankets available to make it a comfortable stay.
- Anna (7/5): Good - The staff was very friendly and helpful! The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom smelled really bad (might have been temporary). The dining area was not very cozy and quite bad acoustics. The place felt a bit overpriced.
- Daniel (7/5): Good - Friendly staff
Great breakfast and coffee
Comfortable beds Bathroom had bad odour
Bathroom floor very wet after shower
- Jasper (6/5): Basic stay with some small shortcomings - Super friendly and helpful staff. Good location after the hike from Teth to Valbonë
Good breakfast - bathroom could use some fixings (boiler, water table, shower water stopper
- no fridge in the room
- no free coffee included in breakfast
- Andi (9/5): Superb - The location is perfect! The valley of Valbona is right next to the hotel and the view is amazing!
- Alice (9/5): Wonderful cottage with amazing mountain view - Wonderful individual cottage in the middle of the mountains. Amazing view. Very comfortable. Great place for a romantic mountain stay. Felt brand new. The nicest bathroom we had in Albania. Breakfast is included but starts at 8am. Too bad because we were doing the Valbonë-Theth hike and wanted to leave early. We thought we could have dinner there but the restaurant was closed. It was not a problem though, there are some places to eat about 15min away by walking.
- Daniel (9/5): Superb - The service and the staff. They were extremely helpful
- Liesel (9/5): We had amazing stay in this centrally located Hotel, Ida made it very special..lovely breakfast! - Central
Ida the manager the best!
Best breakfast ever.
- Ali (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bujar (9/5): Superb -
- Beglie (8/5): Very good - It was a delicious breakfast 🥰
- Athina (7/5): Good - The room was tiny.
- Jan (1/5): No water for several hours, no electricity - The room is new and good size. The main thing: we had no water and no electricity for several hours on our first day. And nobody was present to explain what was going on.
Later someone told us they were fixing the problem, but there was still no water for a long time. We also had no electricity part of the second night and the morning of the second day and the morning of day 3 (when we finally could leave this accommodation).
If there isn't electricity in the village, there's no water in the room, we were told.
But the next morning, there was electricity in the main house (where the reception is), but not in our room. We did have water, but since they had told us that when there's no electricity, there's no water, we were very stressed, not knowing if the water in the room was about to stop flowing.
Also, if there was electricity in the main building, why wasn't there electricity in the rooms?
I asked and was told there was a problem only in the rooms, but they had fixed it. If they had fixed it, why wasn't there still electricity in the room? The next morning, same thing: electricity for them, but not for us.
So, you're preparing to go hiking the whole day, but you can't charge your phone, camera, etc in the room.
She also told me there was a generator. If there's a generator, how come we had no water the first day?
I can understand that there's a problem with the electricity of the whole village. But other places had water, because they had generators for the water pumps. And when you see that the main building has electricity, but your room doesn't, it's hard to understand.
So, the first night we arrived from a long day hiking and had to go to another hotel and pay there to wash our hands and faces, go to the toilet, fill up our bottles of water, brush our teeth.
I had booked another night and couldn't cancel, so we stayed two nights.
- Ali (9/5): Superb -
- Aziz (9/5): Excellent escape to nature. - The hospitality. The surrounding nature. I thought it is a hotel but it is most likely an excellent guest house not a real hotel in service and other room necessity .
- A (6/5): Nice mountain location with friendly staff. - Very nice view on the mountains. Room was basic, small defects. Breakfast also basic.
- Fabiola (9/5): Superb -
- Etienne (8/5): Very good -
- Etienne (8/5): Very good -
- Connor (8/5): Very good -
- Errda (10/5): Truly recommend and will come again - Amazing place and great hospitality
- Margarita (9/5): This hotel has a really good potential but there are still some issues. - 1/ The hotel was just recently renovated, so everything is clean and nice. The bed is really confortable. The bathroom is spacious and nice.
2/ The staff was really-really friendly and helpful. They went all the way to make our stay there as comfortable as possible.
3/ The breakfast was delicious.
4/ The view is incredible (as almost everywhere in Valbona)
5/ It's really well situated if you want to hike to Theth or go to mount Rosit. 1/ The description and the photos did not correspond to the room that we were first put in (they told us that now they have changed it and the photos and rooms correspond). The double room that we were given was really small, with no place to put or hang our stuff, there was also no balcony as was shown on the photos. They have upgraded us for free to the bigger room with balcony (triple room), which was 10 times nicer and cozier.
2/ There was no shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom, only the handsoap. It wouldn't be a problem in any other place, but there are no shops in Valbona so it was kinda an issue for me. Luckily, my partner had a multi-use soap so I was using it for everything. So, be prepared that you have to bring your own shampoo and soap, there are no toiletries issued by a hotel.
3/ The is no air-conditioner in the rooms, which can be a problem as it gets really hot in the summer. As we have traveled in June, the nights were pretty cool so in the end we did not suffer too much from the heat, but I can imagine that in July or August it can be a real problem.
- Lluís (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tomor (1/5): Bad -
- Shavaiz (7/5): Good place but needs inprovement - location is good There was noise at night of some rodent or animal behind the walls and that disturbed for almost 1-2 hours.
- Amy (9/5): Great location, clean and friendly. - The reception desk was helpful and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The rooms were clean and the location was central considering how spread out the town is. It doesn’t have the same character as some of the family-run guest houses. Breakfast only, but there was plenty of eating options within a 5-20 min walk.
- Juljan (10/5): My stay was delightful, with friendly staff, impeccable cleanliness, and a delicious breakfast. - I made a last-minute booking and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The deal was excellent, and the staff were incredibly kind and friendly. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the cleanliness was top-notch. The breakfast was delicious, adding to the overall enjoyment of my stay. Visiting Valbona for the first time, I couldn't have asked for a better location. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would highly recommend it.
- Mantas (9/5): Superb -
