Bujtina Vjosa

We knew what to expect with the room, but you sell it with sun loungers by the Vodja… half of them were broken, the tables were wobbly, and the outdoor area was neglected. The lack of exterior maintenance is sad, and the room lacked light.

The house had everything we needed, two AC units per floor, and a jacuzzi that was a nice bonus even though it was a bit broken. The lady who attended us didn't know English but she was always willing to help and made our stay better – I'd give her 10 stars. Being close to the river was a relief in July's heat, and the village felt authentically small. We never got a chance to talk to the owner, so the jacuzzi's minor issues stayed unresolved.

The room and bathroom were filthy, with trash, roaches on the floor, and underwear hanging on the hooks. There was no hot water for the jacuzzi and many functions didn't work, even though I had emailed to confirm before arrival and got a positive reply. We asked someone to look at it and they said they'd send a plumber, who arrived late in the afternoon and said he couldn't fix it.

Lost in the middle of nowhere, but the river was close enough to keep you company. Don't be shocked when a cow, chickens and cats wander into your garden – it's part of the charm. The breakfast was a real treat, all local produce, and the staff greeted us with a smile.

“Pro velmi nenáročné, za tu cenu kvalita neodpovídá”

The place was old and neglected, with chickens, cats, kittens roaming everywhere and a strong odor. The river wasn't suitable for swimming or fishing. The cook was great. We left a day early.
