Reviews of Bujtina Maria 4 stars

The vieuw was amazing, and the breakfast en staff where so great

Location is lovely - small village in the mountains. Drive to hotel was doable by minivan. We were warmly welcomed. As cars need to be parked bit away from hotel you needed to carry your bags to hotel. Staff offered help with that, but we managed by ourselves. Pool was nice and view from there was really great. Food we had for dinner and breakfast was tasteful and fresh. Walk in village and option to visit local church was nice option to spend some time.

There were some delays during dinner. Food was good, but some orders did not come as quickly as we hoped and sometimes we were left without attention. Some sunbeds were broken and we would have liked to order some cocktails (wine was available). We had room for 4 and it was bit small, but we managed :)

Beautiful view and quiet surroundings

Absolutely exceptional! The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel instantly at home. The spotless, cozy rooms offered breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, and the rooftop pool was a perfect bonus. Delicious homemade food made the stay even more special. Truly a gem — highly recommended!

Set aside within the hills, this property was an absolute treasure that we discovered. We used it as a halfway stop between Sarandë and Berat. The view from the room, pool and dining area were exceptional and the staff were incredibly friendly, looking to help in any way they could. We decided to have dinner at their restaurant which was very reasonably priced and incredibly tasty.

Nothing, everything was perfect.

This is a great bujtina, lost in the middle of nowhere. The staff is very friendly, the pool is nice, and it's not expensive at all. We had a wonderful time.

We booked the last room available, but unfortunately, it had no windows. To make things worse, a power outage in the middle of the night caused the room to be brightly lit, which was very disruptive. While the food itself was great, there was no menu or price list available for dinner. It would be very helpful to have the available dishes and their prices written down, even on a simple piece of paper. On a side note, the location is not at all in Gjirokastër. You have to drive for more than 30 minutes to get there.

The property was set out in the mountains, making it so spacious and peaceful. We had two bookings in two different rooms and they were both so beautiful. It’s a 35 minute drive from a Gjirokaster and so worth it.

The location is exceptional. The rooms are so comfortable, large and cozy. The swimming pool, with its bar and terrasse, is clean and has a spectacular view on the mountains and the valley below. The staff are so nice and always available for help. The restaurant of the facility was the cherry on top of the cake : delicious food with a big variety of dishes, all for a very good price (6-8 € per person for starters + platter + drink). And finally the facility has a free parking spot !

The only problem was that the rooms don't have blackout curtains (or even semi-blackout curtains). For a person who likes to sleep with zero light, I struggled to sleep at night and was waken up at 5 a.m when the day started, because it felt like I was sleeping outside (the room has 4 windows)

Beautiful pool, quiet area and property, the food was good but there were very limited options. For a place that is remote, more options would be helpful, especially mid-day. If there were lunch options, I saw no evidence. Most of the staff were very good, quick and attentive. Oh and ice was hard to come by.

Lack of ice and food options.

Nice place, comfortable with great view. Staff very kind and helpful

Limited options for dinner. Location is far

A Hidden Gem with a Stunning Pool View! We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful guesthouse, which had just recently opened. Everything felt fresh and welcoming. The highlight was definitely the pool — the view from there was absolutely breathtaking! Our room was right next to the pool, which made the whole experience even more special. Both breakfast and dinner were fantastic — delicious food served in a peaceful atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

Nothing

Really beautiful location. Very nice swimming pool. Cozy indoor and outdoor dining space. Spacious rooms. Dinner was really good.

Bathroom flooded when showering. Breakfast was rather basic. An improvement in communication in English would increase the feeling of hospitality.

Nice location. Great view from balcony. Nice food.

The dog of the place barked all night.

Everything, lovely place, the staff were great and friendly. The breakfast was one of the best we had, fully recommended..

nothing

Quiet environment under the mountains, very comfortable bed, size of the room and terrace with a beautiful view. Friendly staff, very rich and tasty breakfast. Overall very beautiful accommodation.

The smell of garbage, rusty toilet accessories, broken toilet seat and a very impractical shower where water gets into the entire bathroom and room. Untidy terrace - leaves, bird droppings.
