Reviews of Valter & Drita's Guesthouse

Hi John, I just wanted to thank you and your wonderful family for the warm hospitality. You really made my stay unforgettable, and I truly appreciate the kindness and effort you put into everything. It was a pleasure meeting you all, and I hope to see you again in the future!

All this nice places with the Mountain View are higher from the main village center so if you stay there you must use a car

What a lovely stay at Valter and Dritas place! We interacted more with their son and daughter, and they were lovely and helpful. It’s a comfortable stay with delicious food and the most amazing food. One highlight, we walked a short 15 minutes to the zipline to take that into town! Highly recommend staying here.

No complaints

Friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating staff. Gave us tips on nearby hikes. Always greeted us and asked if we had any needs. Food was fresh and exceptionally made. Wish we had more days to try all the menu options.

Our room was above the restaurant, so could hear the foot traffic in the morning.

Beautiful guest house decorated to the highest standard set in incredible surroundings in the mountains. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was fabulous and the helpings were very generous. A truly wonderful stay-thank you

Nothing!!

Valter and Drita's was by far our favorite place we stayed in our two plus weeks in Albania and Montenegro. Gjon and family were the best hosts we have ever had, and made our stay absolutely wonderful. From delightful breakfast and dinner service (we ate every dinner at the hotel to savor Gjon's mother's cooking), to going out of their way to help us with a dead car key battery - the people are what made this stay feel like home. Similarly, the rooms were pristine and well appointed, and the views were absolutely stunning. Our balcony was an especially nice way to end the day. My girlfriend and I still talk often about what a wonderful time we had here, and we would recommend it to anyone who is looking to enjoy a wonderful trip to Theth.

A beautiful guesthouse overlooking the valley. Lovely family that run the guesthouse, really helpful and friendly and the food was excellent. Really good communications from the team made for a great stay.

Amazing guesthouse run by John and his family. We felt at home as soon as we arrived thanks to John's welcome, John's mother is an amazing cook and one evening we stayed for dinner and really enjoyed it. Another evening we sat with a bottle of wine around the fire that John had set up in the courtyard. Amazing and magical view and comfortable rooms. The only problem is the frequent power cuts, but that's the case for most of the area. We will definitely be back.

To be honest, it's the best place I have been with in the view from the room is perfect. The food is perfect. The service was perfect. Everything was clean and shiny and good and fun and quiet and peaceful just perfect.

The property is absolutely gorgeous with the most beautiful Mountain View’s. The staff were lovely, they are a family ran business and they all are very attentive to your needs. Luna the dog included. In your room there is a menu for beautiful home cooked meals for dinner upon pre-order and the choice to eat inside in the restaurant or out in the garden surrounded by beautiful views. Breakfast is included in your booking with a wide selection of food and drinks available In a buffet style. The rooms are perfect, air-con available and also a wood burn fire if it gets too cold at night. The hot tub was a highlight for myself, after a day of hiking in Theth it was a great way to relax the legs for more activities the next day. The balcony view is outstanding too, that’s what I will miss most about my stay. The property is higher up in the hill so it would have been easier to have a car for getting down and back from the village of Theth, however do not let this put you off if you are on foot. Taxis are available for pick up and drop off, but today I was lucky as Mr Valter was heading into town and offered me a lift for my hike to Valbona. A very good experience and I hope to return one day.

Nothing, it was perfect.

Absolutely everything. Loved the location a bit away from main town so it was quiet. Beautiful views. Food was great. Breakfast was amazing. Loved the hospitality from John and the family.

Nothing in particular.

This Guesthouse is really something special - the view, the room, the staff (family!) and the FOOD! We had such a wonderful stay and Gjon and his family were just delightful - the pictures don’t do it justice. A real “wow” experience and would love to visit again some day!

Incredible views, comfortable rooms, lovely family run ambiance, delicious food. The fresh air and the calming vibe.

We went sadly when the government was tearing down illegal structures. It was very sad to hear and witness.

This is one of the most outstanding places, if not the most outstanding place, I have ever stayed. It's the perfect mix between the personal touches of a homestay and a high-end B&B. Both the view (totally worth paying extra for a balcony room facing the mountains) and the food cooked by Gjon's mum are truly wonderful. Gjon is never more than a Whatsapp away and delivered drinks to our room whenever we asked. Already dreaming of our return to Theth and to Valter and Drita's guesthouse.

Definitely not a criticism but just important to note that the property isn't in the centre of Theth but 3/4km further up the mountain. However this makes the views even more spectacular than in the village, and the food and hospitality are so good that we didn't want or need to go anywhere else in the evening. We didn't have a car like lots of other guests, but we were totally fine to walk down into Theth, utilise taxis and Gjon very kindly dropped us off at the trailhead for the hike to Valbona.

Amazing getaway in Theth, great home-cooked food, fantastic hospitality by the entire family!

Beautiful setting with stunning views of the mountains from our room. Very clean and modern rooms. Hosts were helpful, knowledgeable about the area and very attentive. Great location.

More of a suggestion rather than a dislike…heated metal containers with lid to keep the breakfast food warm.

It felt like we were welcomed into their beautiful home. It had spectacular views of the mountain ranges. The rooms were spacious. We had a hot tub in our room which a lovely blessing. The food was prepared by the Mom and it was superb. We really enjoyed our stay.

Nothing.

Incredible place. Incredible family run business. John took excellent care of us, above and beyond. Waking up to coffee with the beautiful Magdalena each morning was something to look forward to! And the view from our balcony was something we will never forget.

The location of a Valter and Drita’s was spectacular, the family incredibly warm and helpful, and Drita’s homemade cuisine was sublime! We could not recommend this place more highly for a trip to the Albanian Alps!!

Absolutely everything, The guesthouse was one of the most amazing places I’ve ever stayed at. The location was beautiful, the facilities and room was amazing. And the family truly makes this place so special, the four of us really felt like part of the family and the hospitality was on a level I’ve never experienced before. Plus the home cooked meals were the best food we’ve eaten in Albania

I had to leave :(

The view was amazing!! The family who runs it keeps it immaculate and are so helpful with activity suggestions. We had a very spacious, updated room on the 3rd floor. The breakfast was delicious along with the dinner. I highly recommend this guesthouse!

There was nothing I didn’t like.

The family who runs this guesthouse has created a peaceful and tranquil environment perfect for relaxation and exploring the area. During our two-night stay, they provided both breakfast and dinner—all home-cooked and delicious—with a good range of options. We hiked the Valbona Pass, Blue Eye, and Grunas waterfall. Gjon provided great recommendations on the hikes and coordinated a delicious packed lunch for our Valbona Pass trek. Our charming room featured a mountain-facing balcony with amazing views, and each morning began with a yummy breakfast with a view. The combination of warm hospitality, home-cooked food, and stunning scenery made this an unforgettable stay.

Excellent facilities, very clean, comfortable beds, great shower, spa tub, homely, spacious. Amazing views! The hosts were like family. The food is great, traditional and tasty.
