Reviews of BabaNu Guesthouse

Just perfect and so authentic 💜….we just loved it

Nothing

This is a place where you want to spend time, not just sleep - a truly authentic albanian experience. The atmosphere is warm and homey, set in a beautiful traditional stone house with the most charming Albanian-style interior. The rooms are simply stunning — traditionaly furnished, and full of character. It’s a farm full of life: goats, sheep, a cow, chickens, chicks, cats, dogs, and even wild turtles roaming freely around. Our children absolutely loved it. Staying here is also a personal experience. Marjana and her family are incredibly warm and welcoming. Our little daughter fell in love with her and spent every possible moment by her side. Yet if you prefer privacy, the guesthouse is well separated and peaceful. Marjana is a beautiful and generous Albanian woman who prepares the most amazing breakfasts, using local and seasonal ingredients. The location is perfect — close to the famous Mrizi i Zanave restaurant, Koman Lake, and Shkodër. If you’re seeking the real Albania, far from tourist resorts, this is the place for you. Here, you’ll experience genuine Albanian hospitality and the soul of the countryside. We would love to return one day — and when we do, we’ll definitely come back to BabaNu.

Exceptional experience in the Albanian countryside, a lovely host and sourrounded by animals We had a truly wonderful stay at this accommodation! The place is clean and very cozy — you immediately feel at home. The host is absolutely lovely, super warm and welcoming, and made us feel like part of the family. The location is beautifully rural, surrounded by nature and animals, which gave the whole experience a peaceful and authentic charm. We especially loved the traditional Albanian breakfast — everything was homemade and absolutely delicious! The room itself is very comfortable and cozy, equipped with air conditioning and very clean. We really appreciated the attention to detail and the care the host puts into everything. One small tip: we recommend arriving before it gets dark, as the road to the accommodation can be a bit tricky to navigate at night. But it’s absolutely worth it once you’re there. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience and we would definitely love to come back. Highly recommended!

Nothing! Everything was great!

Baba Nu is a guesthouse on a working farm with a cow, sheep, dogs and cats. The room itself is lovely, it's part of a beautifully restored barn with comfortable bed, small fridge, air conditioning, and very nice bathroom. We stayed two nights and the highlight for us was the breakfasts - these were absolutely amazing! So much food and all made on the farm. The sheep's yoghurt was amazing. Darfina and her mum were absolutely lovely too.

Road to the house is steep but totally doable by car.

Our stay at Babanu Guesthouse was truly special. We stayed in a cozy room that used to be a stable of the family-run farm — comfortable, clean, and full of character. Dafina (the daughter, who manages the place) speaks excellent English and gave us great local tips. We felt very welcome and enjoyed learning about the farm and the area including Mrizi i Zanave (the purpose of spending a night in the area on our way to Theth). Breakfast was homemade by the mother and served on a terrace with amazing views. A peaceful, authentic stay with real warmth and hospitality.

Nothing - all perfect!

“It’s a great location. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. The breakfast is excellent, and they take really good care of you. I can wholeheartedly recommend!

Everything is perfect

The breakfast was amazing . So fresh and they accommodate my son’s dairy allergies . They even went out of their way and made our kiddos popcorn as a snack . The family that runs this guesthouse is so amazing and friendly and hospitable. We will definitely book here again in September when we come back with my parents

Their driveway is a little under construction still however the host drove us up and down of the property with their own vehicle since we parked ours at the bottom of the driveway. They are working on improving it but they do everything possible to help you out .

Large, comfortable main room, very nice setup, clean and silent, although the guest lives with animals within a little farm. Charming owners (entire family) fulfilled all extra wishes incl a light dinner after late arrival. Breakfast selection was outstanding, All products self-made with incredients from the farm.

Not easy to find the farmers road to the location. A little sign on the main road may help
