Reviews of Guesthouse "Gjin Thana"

Loved everything about this place. The host were very helpful

It was bit confusing to find the house

I have unfortunately been bitten by bed bugs (or another insect) all over the body during the night…

The guesthouse and surrounding gardens are just stunning- a short walk out of Theth itself with a spectacular view. A great place to unwind with a glass of home made wine after a big day of hiking! The food is simple but delicious and generous traditional Albanian food. The family were lovely and incredibly welcoming.

The rooms are simple and what you would expect from a family guesthouse- not a huge amount of soundproofing between rooms.

Such a pleasant stay here. The family who run it are so kind and were so kind to me as a solo traveller. Comfortable, clean room. Hot water in shower though not that I needed it as it was boiling outside. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. The surrounding views are just stunning About a 10 min walk down into town

Everything was perfect, maybe just with the heat perhaps a fan offered

The location is perfect, just an easy 5-minute walk from where the buses drop you off in town and an elevated view of the area. It is run by the family that owns the property, who were so kind and accomodating. The food was excellent and the room was so nice and spacious.

We loved absolutely everything about our stay

Excellent food, views and hospitality! Genuinely couldn’t fault this guesthouse, was an incredible evening.

It is really nice for relaxing

This place is immaculately kept, the food is amazing and the hosts were so hospitable and lovely. The man we interacted with spoke perfect English and was so helpful. I could not recommend staying here more! They were able to store our luggage and provide us lunch for our hiking day. The best!!!!!!

Nothing

Perfect location to explore Theth - close to the Blue Eye, waterfall, and zipline. Spectacular views, spotless rooms, comfy beds, a cozy restaurant with delicious homemade food, amazing breakfast in a serene setting where you can sit outside or in a beautiful transparent cabin, and the kindest, most helpful staff - it truly felt like family.

In one of our rooms, the water flow in the shower wasn’t very strong when we used it - not sure if this is the case in other rooms.

We were greeted by the family and felt at home. Dinner was great, breakfast was even better, sitting in the gaziboo under the grapevines. Room was nice and cozy, view is fantastic, and the garden is full of spots to sit at. The house is located around 15 minutes walk (or 2 minute drive I guess) from the village center / station.

Everything was great!

Very kind family, delicious home made food, view on the mountains.

So, so beautiful and peaceful place with amazing views! Friendly staff and everything went smoothly, the room was clean and had all the essentials. Location is great if you are planning to do the Theth-Valbona hike (really close to the starting point). Best food we have had in Albania. Highly recommended.

Nothing.

Gjin Thana is such a charming place in the mountain. The staff is lovely! The food is amazing!

everything!!!

This is a perfect get a way in the Theth mountains. From here you can walk to the waterfalls and there are shops close by. Many day tours and activities can be booked. The rooms are authentic, the beds are high quality. Breakfast is superb here just like the dinner. Everything is fresh and cooked with love. Best breakfast and dinner so far in Albania. The owners hold this place with their heart and live close to nature. They will do anything to make your stay unforgettable.

A family run guesthouse in a beautiful and perfect location for hiking in Theth. Made us feel very comfortable and gave us all our meals which were exceptional. The room and facilities were great and exactly what we needed for our stay!

Great breakfast: real coffee, pancakes and eggs

No water at night, we showered in cold water but even cold water went out in the middle of the shower, had to wipe the shampoo dry with towel. Could not flush toilette due to no water. No AC, room incredibly hot (hotter than outside). We closed the window and curtain during the day and opened the window and door at night to cool down but was still too hot (we kept the door open the whole night). Sewage smell coming from the bathroom sink.

Gorgeous garden with a beautiful view, breakfast was delicious. Super helpful and welcoming hosts.

Great accomodation with a beautiful view. The breakfast was incredible. We also ate dinner there which was delicious as well. The family was super friendly! We really enjoyed our stay in Theth.

Best place ever!!!! Especially the people working there are amazing! Definitely recommended !!!!!
