RIVA Guest House

Wonderful
Traveller Type:
  : The host responded quickly to our messages and was very helpful. We arrived at the bus station in a downpour and the hosts father picked us up and drove us to the guest house. We really appreciated that. It is a very beautiful and cozy place. Often accommodations arent as nice as the photos, but Riva Guest House definitely was.
  : We ate out most of the time, but we also like making some of our own meals. There wasnt much room to prepare food . There is a table and chairs outside, but it was too rainy and cold to use them while we were there.

Very Good

  : Very interesting to stay in a traditional Girokaster house with fabulous views over the town, valley and mountains. We felt we were in the middle of nature with the greenery, trees and birds singing. The room was very clean and nicely decorated and furnished. The parents of the owner helped us with our suitcases and were very kind and pleasant. There was a fridge and a kettle and some crockery and cutlery and there were some nice seating areas outside.
  : Not the owner's fault but noisy dogs close to the house kept us awake during the two nights we were there. The property best suits someone with a car or with light luggage - for two elderly women with suitcases the roads up to the house were very difficult (however we took a taxi and the owners helped us with luggage as the taxi driver could not get up the final hill). The bathroom was very clean but the floor stayed wet and was not safe - if a mop is provided people can dry it. The water tank / pump made some noise every time the tap went on or the toilet flushed which was not great - perhaps it needs some maintenance.

Very Good
Traveller Type:
  : Beautiful room with character. A small complementary bottle of raki in the room was a nice touch. Very nice views from the garden over the valley and the city. Very short walk to the historic centre. Friendly host!
  : The property can be reached driving up narrow and steep roads which can be intimidating for inexperienced drivers. Note that check-out is at 10 am, which is a bit too early.
