    The property was very nice and pretty

    The location. I thought it would be easier to go to the beach or that they would be some kind of public transport

    Incredible views from windows and balcony and a great location so long as you have a car for getting around.

    Communication in the lead up to the stay regarding payment was terrible. We almost cancelled our booking because we were so nervous about the lack of contact from the host, but this changed on the day of arrival, when we were sent a welcome pack and a number to Whatsapp. Make sure you bring the right amount of cash to pay in either euro or lek. Our apartment wasn't clean so we had to request the local housekeeper to come back to take the previous guests' bins out and clean the sticky floor, but even still we had to clean it again ourselves after that, and the fridge smelt really bad all week (but it felt like too much hassle to ask to get it deep cleaned). While the host was responsive and reasonable on Whatsapp, it's always difficult when they are managing remotely and relying on a local housekeeper to do the day-to-day. Overall we found this really overpriced and we ended up leaving a day early because 8 nights there just felt too long.

    Amazing view from the balcony! Room was spacious and comfortable.

    However, it could have been cleaner. Also, the person who let us in did not know how much money to charge and did not have any change, even though they specifically mentioned they don't accept cards.

    The apartment was beautifully appointed and located in the old town on the hillside. Parking was nearby and very convenient. The compendium and communication sent before our arrival were fantastic and detailed, which we greatly appreciated. Replies to our texts during our stay were prompt, and nothing seemed too much trouble. Would recommend for a family with older children.

    We were there with two young children, so the stairs in the apartment were a bit of an issue (our fault). Restaurants and cafes were a bit of a hike; perhaps we just didn’t find any nearby. Communication through Booking.com in the weeks leading up to our arrival was nonexistent, which was a shame. Make sure to have enough cash to pay upon arrival.

    Location was amazing, the lady who looked after us was very friendly, funny and helpful. Very clean rooms with great views. Will definitely come back next year and recommend the hotel to all my family and friends.

    Authentic apartment with lovely view from the balcony. Very quiet situated in beautiful Dhermi. All amenities worked fine. Nice communication with the host.

    Not many items in the kitchen for cooking and eating in for 4 persons.

    the property was beautiful! it was spacious, clean, had a wonderful view. had a nice kitchen too. we had everything we needed including some local recs and the number of a taxi driver who spoke a bit of english which was nice. the host also spoke great english!

    it was very far from the beach, shops and restaurants. there was 1 restaurant in short walking distance and you had to get a taxi to and from the beach which was a lot farther than it appeared on the map so something to be aware,(40 min walk) but it was nice to have a quiet stay and they did provide a kitchen if you wanted to get groceries.

    The view! The flalat is gorgeously situated overlooking the old town of Dhërmi. The design is modern and contemporary and very clean. The lady checking us in, Violeta, is very accomodating and cheerful even though she doesn’t speak English.

    The distance from the is a little challenging if you don’t have a car, but taxis in Dhërmi are plentiful and easy to get in touch with.

    We enjoyed the absolutely nice local stone house, location and the great sea view!

    We had some electricity cuts. But not significantly and long.

    Dhermi avoid if you can, Dhermi beach is super nice but not sure if it’s worth the visit. Apartment is 3 kms from beach, on top of hill and location is difficult to reach, bit depressing If you have luggage it’s too difficult to drag on those stone streets even if it’s 5 min walk from parking

    Location was dreadful, extremely inconvenient

    In general the flat is very nice, well decorated and with an amazing view. The bed is very comfortable. Now, cleaning was honeslty very poor (bathroom was hardly clean, rest of food on the kitchen counter, various stains), some elements of the flat are broken (Bidet, a couple of shutters, many bulbs not replaced) which is a pity as it gives a feeling of being neglected. So a pit disappointed, for the price we paid I was expecting better.

    Nice traditional house with a tasteful renovation. Beautiful balcony with a view of the sea from the second floor

    There are issues with the drains and the bathrooms smell badly. The kitchen on the ground floor is completely dark, with no light

    Better communication in advance about check-in & the full cash payment required, would have made our experience better. This would also create less stress for the very helpful housekeeper Voletta.

    Beautiful accommodation, beautiful balcony, beautiful view, quiet, peaceful, authentic and away from the hectic areas at Dhërmi beach

    For us, only communication with the host could have been better - hard to reach which made check-in and check-out a bit complicated
