Very Good
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : The host was super kind
  : The room was old but ok for being in Theth

Wonderful
Traveller Type:
  : Nice but simple country house, comfortable beds, tasty dinner and breakfast. Unfortunately owners do not speak much English, but communication with there daughters on watsapp was very nice.
  : We were fine with the location, as we were hiking PoB, so it was on our way. But it is pretty much far uphill from Theth main street - it should be taken into account.

  : The hots were wonderful and the location of the guesthouse on the hillside above Theth is excellent to get a view of the mountains and valley. Also a great launching point for the Valbona hike, as the trailhead is about 200 meters away. This is a working farm and the hosts grow all the food you get given in the meals (we opted for full board); we were served nettle pie, prosciutto, homemade cheese, fresh cow milk, bread, eggs, excellent tomatoes and a tea all from the farm.
  : The property details should be updated to indicate that (unless you have a competent 4 wheel drive vehicle), you cannot access the property which is on a gravel track up a steep hill. You will need to park your rental car at the mini market in town and walk up to the property (1.4km) or hire a taxi to take you and your luggage to the farm.

  : Staying in an old farmhouse, within a family run B&B, was a perfect reflection of being in the hills. It was authentic, simple & clean. The hosts work hard and keep an eye out for guests. Dinner is simple, made of their home grown produce and even their own wine is available. Breakfast generous and more than enough to see you through lunch too. It's worth the walk up to stay here.
  : Signage from Theth village is not good... so keep in touch with the accommodation and they'll see that you make it. It's a little further up the hill than you imagined!

  : Good and freshly made dinner (not included in the price), tried to consider dietary needs at dinner (not at breakfast). Nice outside area
  : 1. FALSE DESCRIPTION: Be careful about the description regarding the access to the property. It is not true that you can park there with a normal car, because it is only accessible by a very steep and rocky gravel road. In fact, you can only reach the property by hiking 35-40 min. uphill. We did not know that and booked four nights in advance, which was very unfortunate. 2. Very UNFRIENDLY hosts: We did not feel welcomed by the hosts at all and do not understand the positive reviews at all. It was a very weird atmosphere, for example at dinner they sat on the stairs next to us watching loud videos on their phones waiting for the guests to finally leave the dining room. I understand that there were issues with communication, because they did not speak any foreign language, but we did not feel like this in any other guest house in Albania. They did not show any kind word or gesture towards us. Because of these issues we left one day early although they also made us pay for the last night. It was by far the worst experience we had during our two week stay in Albania.

  : Very nice hosts and an amazing location near the valbona trail. Quite far if you want to do anything else in theth though. We recommend staying one night here and staying at another more central guest house when exploring theth.The food was incredible and all produced on the farm. You will absolutely taste the difference between supermarket produce!
  : Obviously the facilities were lacking but worth the farm house experience.We left 5mins past checkout time and the hosts got a bit impatient about our departure. It makes sense since it is their home and they have to prepare for other guests.

  : The guesthouse is beautifully located. It's about a 30 minutes walk from theth village. If you're going the theth - valbona hike it's "on the way" to valbona. The host couple were nice and welcoming. The room and bathroom are of simple standard but clean. The dinner (as you could buy for 10 euros) was very good with fresh ingredients from the garden. The breakfast was very generous and we could bring the leftovers for our hike. Please note that there is wifi available even if it didn't say in the reservation.
  : You have to have realistic expectations about this guesthouse. It's a very old house and that comes with both pro's and cons. We stayed here in October and there is no heating source in the room. It was very cold during the night. Also, if you're a light sleeper -bring earplugs.
