Guest Reviews

• Annick (7/5): -
• Peter (9/5): Fijne locatie. Aardige jongens en de buren hebben een fantastisch restaurant - Het fantastische uitzicht.
• Jayne Pye (8/5): Very enjoyable - The room was large and had a balcony with a fab view of the coast. The beds were comfortable and the shower was good. The host was friendly and breakfast was good. There was quite a lot of noise from the next room so not soundproofed
• Manon (8/5): Accueil parfait, très gentils et serviable. L’établissement est très bien et très jolie à la hauteur de nos attentes mer - L’établissement était super !!
• Filip (10/5): 10/10, would definitely book again! - The staff were great people and the breakfast was really nice to have on the balcony. The view of the ocean really makes this place special.
• Gabriel Butoi (10/5): -
• Sylvie (10/5): - Super accueil. Vue exceptionnelle . Propreté irréprochable Ptit déjeuner servi en chambre excellent Nous y sommes restés 6 nuits et avons eu du mal à partir tellement nous y étions bien Juste une petite chose à améliorer mais qui n est pas très grave, c est bruit VMC
• Jana (9/5): -
• Sarita (10/5): Clean and quiet place with an amazing view! - The property is located on the quiet side of Himare and within a walkable distance to the beach. The host was very kind, friendly and attentive. We got different assortments of breakfast every morning, which we enjoyed in the balcony with an amazing view of the beach. We had a wonderful time staying at Lofos. Will definitely come back again! 0
• Sujata (1/5): Not recommended - We spent a week in Albania and stayed at four different properties. I would rate this as not only my lowest experience in all of Albania but the worst experience ever of any of my travels. Let me break this down. The location of this place is on a hill around 2.7 kms from the city centre and an equal distance from the nearest beach and also about two kilometres from the Himare castle. So if you don’t have a car it is not easy at all. The owner will give you a taxi number and the taxi will charge minimum 10 euros to take you anywhere. This place is standing in isolation from rest of the city except for the lovely restaurant Fig and olive that right next to it but unfortunately it opens only in the evening not in the afternoon. So incase you need even drinking water suddenly or something urgent you are stuck here. Now this place is basically three rooms on the ground floor of a house so once you are in your room, that’s the only space you have. There is no reception or lobby or common area for you to lounge around. So it’s your room and the isolation from the entire world. You have a good view of the sea but you will get a better view from places that are right by the beach. The place is most barely equipped so there is no iron or washing machine and Himare has no launderette in the city so if you have clothes that need washing or ironing you are stuck because the owner will point blank refuse to help you with these services even if you are ready to pay them. They will simply refuse to help. The air conditioning in the room is very weak and we went in April which is pleasant weather if you go in peak summers the ac at even 18 degrees would not cool the room suitably. The WiFi connection is very weak and breaks every two minutes Upon arrival two small bottles of water are offered and after that every additional small bottle is 1 euro each. Nothing else is provided in the room. Breakfast is basic and no changes are allowed. No butter. No fruits. No toast. Also please remember they only accept cash for payment and that too unlike everywhere else in Albania, this place insists on taking the conversion rate that they have personally set and not what conversion rate is available online so you invariably pay more. We were told they would call the police on us if we don’t pay them the amount they are asking for. Also it’s mentioned in their policy and also in an older review that they do room cleaning daily but that’s not true either. Our room wasn’t cleaned for two nights and when we asked why they said the policy is wrong. It is not their fault. So save your towels and if you are going in rainy season like we did there won’t be any place for you to dry the towels and the bathroom mat as the balcony is not suitably covered to stop the rain from falling on drying clothes. The information on their page is entirely misleading and I am surprised reading other glorious reviews. We asked for something as basic as vegetables in the omelette and they said they can’t do it. We asked for butter they said no. We said can they toast the bread instead of giving it plain they said no. The juice offered isn’t fresh it’s store bought. It has truly been a very disappointing experience with the kind of rudeness and threat of police given to us that I have never had before.
• Jose (10/5): Excellent - The view. Proximity to Fig & Olive. Family vibe. -
• Dariusz (10/5): - Great view, nice host, good parking
• Cornelia (9/5): - Schön grosses Zimmer mit Balkon; schöne Aussicht auf das Meer; Frühstück wird aufs Zimmer gebracht. Nicht mitten im "Trubel", schön ruhig. Der Finish der Einrichtung dürfte etwas besser sein. Doch für die Zeit eines Aufenthalts völlig okay.
• Jordi (9/5): -
• ISABEL (10/5): -
• Acosta (8/5): Buenas vistas y relax - Las vistas de la habitación son increíbles y el desayuno admirando el paisaje desde la terraza fue increíble. Tienes que tener coche para alojarte en este sitio pero para nosotros no fue ningún problema.
• Erald (10/5): - The room was very clean and a great view. Loved the breakfast on the balcony.
• Guest (10/5): -
• Paula (10/5): Un sitio donde volver! - Negocio familiar, con una atención excelente, fueron encantadores. El desayuno en la habitación con vistas fue lo más! Volveríamos a repetir. Además a 2 min andando está el restaurante Fig & Olive que fue la mejor cena en Albania. El hospedaje tiene parking privado y también un bar-cocktail para tomarte algo con vistas al mar. No se puede medir más. Todo excelente!
• Lam (10/5): -
• Clara (8/5): Bien - Le logement est confortable et propre. La vue est très belle! Nettoyage de la chambre tous les 2 jours. - Le service est plus "impersonnel" que dans les autres guesthouse du pays. - La région est bondée en août
• Andre (9/5): - Der Ausblick zum Meer mit Strand. Großer Balkon. Nettes Personal. Frühstück eher einfache Ausstattung für 4 Personen. Man wird aber satt. Tisch für 4 Personen zu klein.
• Nathan (10/5): Vue incroyable ! - Nous avons été super bien accueillis par les hôtes, un grand merci ! Concernant le logement, c'est niquel, et la vue sur mer est Woaw, quel kiff de prendre le petit déjeuner sur le balcon. Idéalement situé, avec place de parking, et restaurant à proximité. Nous avons passé un super séjour, je vous recommande vivement !
• ARNAUD (10/5): A réserver sans hésitation - Accueil par Alex et son père, des personnes très gentilles. Il y a un parking dans la résidence, la plage est à qq minutes en voiture. Équipements neufs, petit déjeuner servis dans la chambre , terrasse avec superbe vue, c est mieux que les photos . Il y a aussi un bar à cocktails qu’ il faut essayer Ne pas hésitez, il y a beaucoup d’offres, mais c est certainement t le meilleur compromis.
• Gloria (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cássio (10/5): Perfeito - Our guest is a wonderful and thoughtful person, I felt like he was a friend
• Catherine (10/5): Loved staying here, fantastic views of the great local beach and Corfu. - The view from our balcony was beautiful and a great spot for delicious breakfast each day. We loved Jannis cocktails too- from his relaxing, quiet lounge bar. It’s a short walk down to the beach with crystal clear water and an easy taxi trip back up .
• Meryem (9/5): Superb -
• Ulrich (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect : very clean, amazing view, the host are so kind, etc ;)
• Ruben (10/5): Perfect stay - Awesome family run facility. The location is perfect just a few minutes drive from Livadhi beach with great views towards the sea, it’s super clean and standard in the room are high. Both brothers are super nice friendly and helpful with recommendations and all. Breakfast is served in the balcony and it changes daily sometimes omelette sometimes eggs sunny side up always accompanied with sausages vegetables and cheese. We also had one day some sort of home made sweet that was very nice Nothing is great place and heartily recommend it
• Joshua (10/5): Relaxed, breathtaking, local: three words to describe this location. - The view from the balcony is the first thing that comes to mind. The host is really helpful and so nice. The room is perfect for a longer stay as you have your own space to chill and drink wine or beer and then you are a quick drive away from everything in Himarë. We dined at the restaurant Fig and Olive which is a walk from the location and is one of Himarë’s best dining spots both for the food and the view. Lofos is fantastic and I wish success to the host’s new cocktail bar (under construction at the moment). Oh and the breakfast is nice: it gives a nice homestay touch. We would book again.
• Julian (10/5): A wondeful short stay - The room was clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. The bed was very comfortable, and the view from the balcony was both spectacular and relaxing. Breakfast was delicious and more than enough to start the day off right. The sea isn't far, you can choose to walk about 20 minutes or drive there in just 5. The owners were extremely welcoming and attentive to any needs we had. We especially appreciated the slippers provided for walking around the room, a thoughtful touch!
• Oryan (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing view, very clean and new, host was super nice and very available Breakfast is a bit thin- could be the standard in Albania
• Madalina (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was more than perfect: host, room and amazing view ❤️
• Dritan (10/5): Exceptional - The location and the room is great Need to inprove the place where you can have the breakfast
• Florjan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Armando (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ren (9/5): Superb -
• Redi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Martinbej (9/5): Superb -
• Matteo (10/5): Great view, great room near Himare - Great room with a fantastic view of the nearby village. The room is large with a confortable bed and fully functioning air conditioned. It is located just 5 minutes away from the village of Livadhi, but far enough to be quiet The entire place is very clean and tidy. There is a large parking space (which is very rare in Albania).
• Lewis (10/5): A stunning, modern, clean apartment with a beautiful balcony view :) - A new, modern and exceptionally clean apartment with beautiful interior. The room is spacious and contains everything you need such as a fridge, dressing area and toiletries. The room was also cleaned every morning. The balcony has a stunning view of the sea, with a lovely breakfast served there every morning. The owner, Alex, is so friendly and helped us with many questions. He recommended a taxi driver, Bonis, to us, who drove us to and from the centre whenever we wanted for €5 each way. He was also lovely. We had a wonderful and pleasant stay here and would recommend staying here if you want exceptional service and a beautiful room. Nothing. The apartment is about a 10 minute drive from the centre but you can get a taxi there for €5.
• Donald (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ines (9/5): Superb -
• Anisa (10/5): Excellent stay option ! - Super clean everything! Magnificent view! Breakfast served in the room balcony!
