Guest Reviews

• Millie (10/5): - We loved the hosts and the views. There was a little walk into town but we really enjoyed the walk as it gave us a flavour of the town and was gorgeous at dusk. We paid extra for breakfast and were very happy with it, it was very tasty and big!
• Xavier (10/5): - Si vous passez a gjirokaster n'hésitez pas a dormir,plusieurs chambres disponibles. Très accueillant et sympathique pour découvrir la culture locale. Nous avons apprécié le petit déjeuner préparé par leurs plus grands soins
• Helene (9/5): Authentisch Albanisch - Die beiden Gastgeber sind sehr herzlich. Man verständigt sich mit Händen und Füßen und Google Übersetzer. Die Kommunikation vorab erfolgte über die Enkeltochter, die ebenfalls sehr nett und hilfsbereit war. Dank der Wegbeschreibung konnten wir die Unterkunft gut finden. Wer hier übernachtet ist mitten drin in einer albanischen Familie. Ganz authentisch und einfach in der Ausstattung mit einem idyllischem Selbstversorger-Garten. Auf Wunsch wird ein liebevoll zubereitetes Frühstück serviert mit Eierspeise, Fettgebäck, Obst und Gemüse. Wer Luxus erwartet ist hier fehl am Platz. Die Unterkunft ist einfach gehalten und zum Teil auch in die Jahre gekommen. Beim Betreten des Schlafzimmer roch es auch etwas muffig. Das Badezimmer war nicht an das Zimmer angrenzend, sondern lag em Ende des gemeinschaftlich genutzten Flurs. Die Anfahrt zur Unterkunft ist relativ eng und steil und auch für geübte Fahrer durchaus eine kleine Herausforderung aber auch mit normalem PKW machbar solange man sich an die Wegbeschreibung der Gastgeber hält (nicht Google Maps folgen!!!)
• Mélanie (9/5): Séjour sympa - Les hôtes étaient sympathiques, le lieu était calme, les voisins gentils et accueillants, proche du centre de gjirokaster. De ne pas avoir la possibilité d'accéder à la cuisine.
• Morshed (9/5): - The hospitality was outstanding
• Anne (10/5): - Es war eine kleine Oase! Sehr familiär mit selbstgemachten Brot (Patulla) zum Frühstück! Von der Unterkunft war es ein schöner Spaziergang zur Burg/Altstadt und über den Höhenweg zurück. Man muss es lieben kleine enge Straßen bergauf zu fahren! Der Vater stand uns dabei humorvoll zu Seite.
• Rafael (10/5): -
• Sofia (10/5): - Los señores de la casa increíblemente encantadores. Nos ayudaron y estuvieron muy pendientes a nuestra llegada para ayudarnos, por las calles estrechas del pueblo y la entrada al parking. Incluso me llamó por videollamada para indicarme. Encantadores.
• Emma (10/5): - Hôtes très accueillant et donne des conseils sur les visites et la ville. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour. Les routes sont pentu mais accessible en voiture. À environ 15min du centre a pied. Petite salle de bain mais fonctionnelle pour un séjour. Je recommande !!! Très belle vue de la terrasse
• Marco (10/5): - Accoglienza è stata calorosissima, l'host molto disponibile e discreto. Super colazione fatta in casa, consigliatissima!!
• Marco (7/5): -
• Devin (10/5): - Great views. Quiet setting. Clean and comfortable room. Amazing breakfast.
• Albana (10/5): -
• Guest (10/5): - Breakfast was amazing aswell as the people who took care of us. The view was amazing. Everything was perfect. Thank you for everything, nothing more to say.
• Virginia (10/5): - Los dueños del alojamiento son ENCANTADORES, se preocupan porque te sientas super cómodo. Nos ofrecieron un desayuno por 5 euros más por persona súper rico, merece mucho la pena. Está un poquito alejado del centro pero hay sitio para aparcar.
• SERDAR AYDINLI (10/5): A great accomodation with friendly house owners - The house owners are a very nice and friendly couple. They welcome us and and helped us alot. House is clean and comfortable. It's in a very calm and relaxing area. It', very close to the Gjyrokostra Castle, Bazaar and restaurants. We strongly recommend you to stay here.
• Guest (10/5): Clean room with a beautiful garden overlooking the valley. - We loved the beautiful view of the mountains from the courtyard. The breakfast was absolutely delicious! The room was clean and had what we needed for a short stay. We were able to do our laundry for a small fee. The drive from the city center to the property was a little scary but manageable with good driving skills. We definitely recommend this place to other guests! We would recommend some towel racks/hangers be placed in the bathroom for guests to hang their towels while taking a shower.
• Florentin (10/5): -
• Magda.To (10/5): Wonderful place - A wonderful place with amazing hosts. Our children felt as if they were with their grandparents. They even helped us with a special tea for a cough, and the breakfasts were absolutely delicious. Incredible hospitality! Comfortable bed, great location – definitely worth more than 10 points
• mohamed (9/5): - L'accueil et la bienveillance des hôtes était super. La vue est imprenable, c'est un peu en montée mais on peux accéder en voiture. Propriétaires très sympathique.. Dans la chambre que nous avons choisie l'un des lit 'était peu commode car il bascule.
• salvatore (1/5): Un incubo - Mai avuto un esperienza simile! Ci ha confermato la prenotazione. Siamo arrivati e ha detto che non c'era la camera perché l'aveva prenotata ad altri clienti per 2 gg e gli conveniva di più darla a loro. Ci ha mandato in un altro posto che però costava il doppio, chiedendoci di cancellare la nostra prenotazione. Non abbiamo accettato, e dopo più di un ora ci ha detto di rimanere ma comprare le loro colazioni. Non abbiamo accettato di prendere la colazione, e dopo un tempo interminabile ci ha fatto entrare, abbiamo pagato, e ci ha chiesto di cancellare la prenotazione, così non avrebbe pagato 4 euro a booking. Non abbiamo accettato. La mattina seguente ha scritto che non ci siamo presentati al check-in, così avremmo dovuto pagare la penale a booking. Inoltre, tavoletta bagno con residui di feci, e capelli nel lavandino.

• Irene María (10/5): Maravilloso anfitrión y desayuno - Los anfitriones son encantadores, y la finca está rodeada por un huerto espectacular cuidado por ellos. El desayuno es estupendo, con fruta y verdura recién recogida de su huerto y huevos de sus gallinas, todo delicioso. Además, buenas vistas y está a 15 minutos andando del centro.
• André (10/5): Most authentic hosts in Gjirokastra! - The family was caring and lovely. We really enjoyed our stay with them. Please be aware that the streets in Gjirokastra are narrow, so that it's best to walk to the old town and castle. We recommend staying with them, when visiting Gjirokastra! Big thanks!
• Anna (10/5): Exceptional - The owners were amazing, and kind hearted people, they cared for us a lot. The language barrier wasn't an issue thanks to google translate, and their daughter, who also helped a lot with recommendations for the sightseeing. The panorama from the terrace was beautiful, and the breakfast was super delicious. We had a wonderful time, and I also fell in love with the city. I hope I can come back in the future :))
• Joel (10/5): Homely and comfortable stay at the guest house - I loved that the hosts were so attentive to our needs and went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Although we could not speak a common language, we used Google translate to communicate and have long conversations. The breakfast (paid extra) was a huge spread and generously put together . The host constantly checked in with us to see if we needed anything. It felt more like home than a guest house. I will be recommending Isaraj Guest House to my friends and other fellow travellers.
• Noemie (10/5): Exceptional - The place was very cute and the couple there was so helpful !!! Thank you so much for this nice time !
• Zuzana (10/5): Calm place, lovely people. - Lovely helpful people, nice garden, delicious breakfast.
• Marco (8/5): Very nice hosts, countryside vibes, nice walk to historical center - Very warm and caring hosts, air conditioning, very clean room, real countryside vibes I would provide a new hairdryer and some shower gel, fix the bathroom lamp, provide bedside lamps
• Joy (10/5): Amazing! - We loved this guest house. The hosts were incredible, the location and facilities were great. Also loved the breakfast! We would definitely recommend Isaraj Guest House! -
• Jack (10/5): Exceptional - We got a nice room with our own bathroom. The hosts are super nice and friendly, we did get an amazing breakfast each morning with fresh fruits and veggies from the garden. Could also use the kitchen and felt like home! Thank you so much
• Phebe (9/5): Home away from home with a welcoming family! - Owners were super friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast for 5€ per person. Warm home. Steep hill: is tricky to get there with the car.
• Tiago (10/5): Exceptional - The hosts are simply fantastic, the rooms are clean and have all the basic needs and the location is quite good, a 10 minutes walk to the Old Bazaar. I suggest to eat breakfast with the hosts for 5 euros/person, because is really delicious.
• Liza (10/5): Exceptional - I loved this place, but I loved the People even more. They are one of a kind. The kind that make you feel at home, even if you are not. The breakfast was amazing and generous. The couple is adorable. Thank you for everything. I will never forger you.
• Ela (10/5): Exceptional - We only stayed there for one night but our hosts were really helpful and friendly. Such lovely people. We had an amazing breakfast in the garden made from local products. It was delicious. The room was spacious and comfortable. The air-conditioning working very well. Nothing to complain Great stay
• Milica (10/5): Exceptional - We really enjoyed our stay with the elderly couple. In the morning, you can enjoy the view and a cup of coffee. The location is good, and the accommodation is decent. They will do their best to help you with everything. If you're driving, Google Maps will take you down a gravel road. You can walk through it. Contact the owner for exact directions if you're using Google Maps.
• Lola (10/5): Super hospitable and friendly family welcome, very accommodating and available for any questions or -
• Kirsten (10/5): A genuine homestay with an incredibly kind and welcoming couple - Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and kind. The breakfast they offered was incredible, the room was very comfortable and the aircon worked well. Our kids loved playing with the chicks in their garden and their cat. This is a truly authentic homestay - you are literally staying in their house, and the standard and facilities are as expected - a genuine experience. We managed to communicate sufficiently enough via Google translate. The couple's daughter spoke good English and was always available via WhatsApp of we needed any help. We found this to be the best plane we've stayed in Albania! Thank you so much for having us.
• Martin (9/5): Quiet place with rustical atmosphere - Fantastic owners. Daughter gave us practical advices what to see and where to eat. Delicious breakfast from home-made ingredients on request (it is really worth the price). Parking place on site. Good locality - walking distance to the castle and town. Good price-value ratio. Difficult (steepy) access with the car (however, this is normal in this town on the hills). No curtain in the shower.
• Vladyslav (10/5): Exceptional - We really enjoyed our stay at this place. Everything was clean and tidy. The owners of the house are extremely hospitable and friendly. We got the best emotions from our stay at Isaray Guest House. For an extra payment, you can order a delicious breakfast with bio products, I recommend trying it.
• Patricia (8/5): A true Albanian home stay experience - Our hosts were such sweet people, welcoming and warm. We were given coffee on arrival and grapes from their vines. Our room was large and clean. Both husbands spent many hours ‘talking’ to each other over goggle translate. A great experience. We had trouble finding the place, there was no name on the gate, a neighbour helped us out.
• Ute (10/5): Authentic room with lovely hosts close to Gijrokastra center - Diana‘s parents are just so nice people. They made sure that we felt so welcome and comfortable. They were really lovely! We enjoyed the view under a green roof of shadow spending grapes on their porch.
• Manasha (10/5): Wonderful people, pleasant surroundings and a comfortable home. - Diana, and her parents, Barda and Brahos, were very heartful and hospitable people. We spent six days in their home, located in a quiet neighbourhood just outside the centre of Gjirokastra, with a stunning view over the mountains of the Drino Valley. There are many places to discover in the city as well as in its surroundings and Diana assisted us in every possible way to help us get around. We were also overjoyed by the traditional breakfast of Barda which was made from homegrown and local products. In the morning we would also sometimes drink a coffee together, or we would spent the evenings playing chess and having endless conversations. We truly felt we had becomepart of their family. If you are looking for an homestay experience, this will definitely be the right place to stay.
