I felt it was a bit expensive for what you get. The rooms and patio are small. We had a patio off the back of the hotel which should have been a serene mountain view- instead, they don’t tell you you are directly above and looking into a junk yard, if you can keep your eyes focused higher you can see the mountains, but it’s hard to not focus on everything else (construction maybe?) it’s also above where the family/workers hang out in the yard so it is very loud and not so private. The AC is on a generator so it often shuts off during random hours during the day and at night (makes for a hot sleep in the summer!) We did read about the smell of the bathroom and can confirm there was a sewage type smell. They provided a room spray and we kept the bathroom door closed.

Great location right in Theth. Amazing restaurant on site. We chose to eat all of our meals here. Surrounded by the mountains and a good starting point for hikes. Comfortable bed.

I think there could be more space to hang cloths and planks for example to put stuff

Very modern, nice and clean apartment with 2 floors. Comfortable. Friendly staff!

Such a lovely stay here. The staff were amazing and all work so hard. The location and rooms were so lovely. 5 minute walk from the bus drop off.

Highly recommend. Lovely place, lovely people. Everything was clean, good breakfast. Very comfortable room for a family with children. The jacuzzi is a bonus and the restaurant on site is really good.

Nothing really bad about the guest house. It’s a bit more pricey than the other accommodations we have had in Albania, also the food/drinks was more pricey. However, I think that’s more of a general trait about theth rather then Gurra family guesthouse. We waited 1h past time for the minibus that’s was going to take us to shköder in order to get to Tiranë. I think this is also not the accommodations fault, but more a general trait for Albanian culture, that they’re not very timely.

Location was great if your walking the valbonë-theth hike. The room was super nice with a cozy balcony. The room and hotel in general, was very clean. We had dinner there which was very nice and tasty. Breakfast was also good. Traditional Albanian breakfast which we have eaten in every city , but in a buffet style, which was the first time we had. This was especially nice since you then can choose how much you want of the different «dishes». The staff was also great, helped us with booking taxi back to shköder/tiranë. Very service minded and entertaining.

The only negative was that service at dinner was a little chaotic. We were told the kitchen was very busy and there would be a bit of a wait which in itself isn’t a problem as they were very honest. Unfortunately it meant that all the dishes came out eventually except one of the mains that we had ordered which came out an hour later.

Recently renovated, our room was lovely. Easy parking outside and great location in the village.

Slightly dim lighting in the room (but we were barely in it!)

Great central location in middle of Theth (which you realise when you get there is a huge positive!). Has a lovely restaurant which is reasonably priced and gives huge portions with friendly staff. Would recommend the potatoes with pana, which is like a melted cheese sauce. It is very near to where the bus from Shkoder drops you off and also near to the two Mini Markets and the ATM if you need any supplies, as well as other bars and restaurants. Only a 10 minute walk to the church, the start of the Grunas Waterfall trail and the start of the Theth to Valbona trek as well. There are taxis just outside who can take you most of the way to the Blue Eye for €5 per person if you don't fancy the 3 hour walk each way. Staff were very accommodating and able to give information about local things to do and could make a packed lunch for trekking if you were unable to make breakfast (which starts at 07:30 for those planning to go over the Valbona pass). Bed was super comfy and had lovely decor and a nice waterfall shower in the room. It is also the only place we could find in Theth that had AC in the room which is essential in the summer months! Would highly recommend (and would not consider staying outside of the centre of Theth now, given how convenient it is!).

Gurra Family Guesthouse was very comfortable and beautifully renovated – cozy, clean, and welcoming. The staff were kind and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious. It’s the perfect spot for one or two nights in Theth. Would definitely recommend it for a short, relaxing stay in the mountains.

The bathroom window was missing curtains, the shower pressure was good but not consistent, and there was a sewage smell in some areas.

The hosts were very friendly. The room and bathroom were incredible, and the bed was very comfortable. The included breakfast was quite good and complete. Also a great place to dinner. The location is pretty good.

Power occasionally would trip, sounds like this might be a Theth wide issue though.

Centrally located in Theth with very good restaurant on site, breakfasts included provided barista made coffee and large spread, we ate dinner at the restaurant which was delicious and well priced. The room was comfortable with air-conditioning. Staff were helpful and nice during our stay.

We booked a 4-person appartement, but the stairs to get to the second bedroom were very very narrow (tricky at night). We left very early morning to hike from Theth to Valbona so we didn't have breakfast. We ordered lunch instead of the breakfast but had to pay an extra 14€ pp for this, which was very expensive for the limited content of the lunchbox (a boiled egg, a tomato, a cucumber, a slice of bread (dry), some white cheese)

Friendly staff, good restaurant, nice terrace, good and central location

Nothing! Nada, Zero dissatisfaction 😇

I like everything about Gurra house! The staff to start with, the location close proximity to info center & market, the room with super comfy bed and lining, the generous food plates made with local chefs. Kleisman & Armado been very nice and helpful throughout my stay.

The stay was fantastic. The staff were super friendly and knowledgable about the local area. The room was clean, modern and had everything you needed. The restaurant was also incredible and very reasonable. During our 2 night stay, we ate here twice for dinner and of course for breakfast as it was included in the price. Cannot recommend this place enough, I’d love to come back!

There was an unpleasant smell coming from the drain in the morning. Adding a few lounge chairs in the garden would make the outdoor space more enjoyable. During our stay, some buildings around the hotel had been demolished due to permit issues, which made the surroundings in the village of Theth less charming

The room with the mezzanine was perfect for a family. The hotel is new, very clean, and tastefully designed. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which was much appreciated. It’s also ideally located for the start of the hike

We absolutely loved our stay at Gurra Family Guesthouse – such a charming place with truly wonderful hosts! We stayed in a two-level apartment and a one-bedroom room. Both were clean, cozy, and had super comfortable beds. We especially enjoyed the balcony with mountain views – the perfect spot to relax after a hike. Breakfast was excellent – a buffet with plenty of tasty options, and you could eat as much as you liked. We also had dinner here – portions were huge and very delicious! The hosts even offered us a taste of their homemade raki, which was a lovely touch. They kindly prepared picnic lunch packs for our hike, which was really helpful. Overall, we felt very welcomed and taken care of. Highly recommend this guesthouse if you’re staying in Theth!
