    Sometimes music at the swimming pool was too loud, but I guess it's a matter of taste. Some rooms are a bit dated and they suffer from bad smell from plumbing. I would also play more relaxed music with less bass ;)

    Beautiful setting, great swimming pool, nice staff, good food and relaxed atmosphere. Animals and nature!

    Exceptional location, peaceful and quiet, with rabbits and tortoises moving around freely, and a small farm nearby. The staff were really nice and always helpful. We had breakfast included, which was served and similar every day. It consisted of home eggs (usually fried), home-made goat cheese, vegetables and something sweet (crepes or Albanian sweets). You can ask for more eggs or cheese if you are a big eater. It was a very simple but extremely tasty and sufficient breakfast. Coffee and water was included. Sometimes we stayed for dinner, wine and beer, again tasty and for nice prices. The rooms were nice and clean, the air conditioning worked OK. I truly recommend Kondra e Godenve!

    - The balcony was rather dirty with bird droppings (but the room quaklity overall was ok) - An elevator would be nice - local craft beer on draught ;-)

    - The food is really great, dinner as well as breakfast. Almost all of the food is from the organic farm, where the hotel is located. - Great local wine (from down the road) too - Staff friendly & helpful - The pool is also very large and great

    furniture out on the balcony would have been nice, & a rubbish bin in the room. Dishes & glasses & rubbish need to be cleared away quicker to make better first impression.

    location stunning..clean room.. very friendly & helpful host & staff. pool was stunning.. lovely to see rabbits & tortoises wandering around, truly magical place, a little gem.

    A perfect escape in a stunning rural setting

    We had the pleasure of staying at this hotel, nestled in a beautiful rural landscape, and it was truly a serene getaway. From our room and the expansive pool area, we enjoyed breathtaking views of the distant sea and the rolling hills of the Albanian countryside, dotted with olive trees. The setting is simply magical. The hotel grounds are charming, with lovely pavilions where guests can enjoy meals in the open air. The pool is impressively large and deep, offering a great spot to relax and take in the surroundings. While the rooms are basic, as mentioned in other reviews, they are more than adequate for a comfortable stay. With such a stunning environment, spending time indoors almost feels like a waste. The real highlight, however, is the food. Breakfast was good, but the dinner was exceptional—easily one of the best meals we’ve had in a while. The hotel is run by an incredibly welcoming family, whose hospitality made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Their warmth and care added to the overall experience, making our stay even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, disconnect from the hustle and bustle, and simply enjoy the peace and each other’s company, this hotel is the perfect choice. We can’t wait to return!

    Hidden gem with lots of animals and a throw away from the seaside
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Quadruple Room with Terrace
    • Stayed 2 nights

    This is a place with lots of potential as one can see lots of scope for upscaling the actual building.

    This is a lovely oasis, not far away from the coast. The staff and all the animals (dogs, bunnies, horses, birds) made our stay really special. The pool is amazing and very relaxing. We need a bit of a break from the beach and cities and this was perfect. Our three-year old stated at the end of our stay: "I never want to leave here." That about sums it up. It's run by an Italian-Albanian young couple who went way out of their way to make our stay very unique and as relaxing as possible.

    Maybe the location is a bit tricky but if you have a car, its not a problem. We would have liked if the breakfast had more savory food like eggs for example as we dont like sweets in the morning.

    Kind and lovely staff. Lovely place in a calm area. Clean and room size was great. It has an amazing view from the balcony.

    Surrounded by pure nature, this place is a hidden gem near the natural park and (10 minutes by car) a sandy beach. Our kids loved the animales inside the hotel garden - turtles, rabbits and doves. We also enjoyed the big pool. The staff is very helpful, eg. they washed our clothes for us and prepared a tasty breakfast.

    Hidden gem, most ideal first stop in Albania

    Love, love, looooove!!! 12/10 would recommend. Located just one hour from the airport, Kodra e Godenve is the ideal first stop on an Albanian (road) trip. The owners, a young but very warm and hard-working couple, have a passion for hospitality and made the resort their lives work. You feel the love in everything, from the obvious to subtle design choices to the delicious homemade, all biological meals (don't worry, they also serve meat and fish :-). The resort suddenly arises amidst beautiful nature, 2mins from nearby (mini) lake and nice hills to roam and just 35mins from Parku Kombetar (be sure to take the lagune boat trip!). As the hotel is a perfect mix of majesty, grandure and cosyness, surrounded by a beautiful garden we never would gave guessed that the owners actually build it theirselves! I wanted to add pictures, but the function keeps crashing. I guess you have to go see for yourselves :-)

    This was without any doubt the best hotel we stayed in during our 2 weeks in Albania : excellent hotel in pure nature surroundings, fantastic view, totally quiet, very friendly staff, delicious food, 25m swimming pool and plenty of sun beds, 10 minutes by car to the sea and beaches, 30 minutes to the gorgeous nature reserve Divjakë-Karavasta. Excellent price. Congratulations to all the staff for making use feel totally happy and relaxed at your place.

    Just the swimming pool.

    The property is just about okay, I think the swimming pool is okay.. the stuffs there only understand just a little of English so it was really difficult for communication.. the morning we were supposed to check out they have turn off the central water in all of the building.. I and my friend my didn’t take our bath or brush our teeth.. me and my friend looked everywhere around the whole property to see if we can get any staffs to help there wasn’t anyone to help..we left the hotel without having to shower or brush.. the weather was about 37° the air-conditioner wasn’t working properly the shower bathroom it’s very dirty.. oh before I forget it’s a self service business.. u have to go downstairs to ask for anything u need no tv in our room no internal phone.. breakfast is nothing to write Home about this was the worst experience I had ever had on holidays destinations. Careful and be safe.
